...and the story continues...Enma is now in as well :3
The demon which is responsible for all that is kinda strong now...the darkness within every human heart...worst weapon to destroy souls if you ask me ~~"
...
Yukihime could be saved....but there's something i didn't get...why Yuri seems to be already dead? or...why now she is the ghost with the red dress of which was spoken in the previous episodes?

probably because she was dead lol but I didn't noticed when she was killed... xD

That was nice! :D real badass





Whole OVA was pretty good but especially last two episodes (I like this kind of atmosphere :D)!

in this episode, you will die horribly... *laughs just as shion*

@kch33

damn I didn't noticed when exactly did she died and how.

LOL. Prince Enma from hell is fucking mean. I wanted him to be nice to the girl in red dress haha. The hat said something, but he should have said something too. I was like holy shit damn. Felt so sorry for her when she ran through the door just as it closes but only ended up in another room to see that picture. He used and possess her body, I wanted him to repay her back once, and wanted at least 1 survivor. :(

I agree these last two ovas are damn great.

I wouldn't mind a live action movie from something like this haha.

I don't think they really showed where she died. Maybe she was stabbed by the crazy teacher though that seems bogus since we saw her in her underwear and there was no visible wounds. Maybe once the demon has tapped into seeing your "hidden darkness" you die? Though this too seems bogus since the painting had the detective and Ayu and the teacher still alive while seeing their secrets. Not sure. Maybe just a twist to further drive the bitter sweet feeling. I liked the reporter girl, detective (how his sister died was fucked) and Kappa. Definitely side characters that could've supported the show if it was a traditional ongoing.

Show had a lot of atmosphere (sometimes too much! Some shots in this episode were pretty much 90% black!) with great music and it was interesting with the focus on the human characters and not so much on Enma and Yuki. Kinda interesting to see how the demon in the prologue of the first episode was the ultimate baddy.

I agree Br87 a show like this would probably fare well in a live action adaption. No idea why Hollywood wants to adapt things like DBZ and whatnot when a show like this seems like it'd fare much better. Of course it doesn't have the same brand name recognition but after the fiasco that was Dragonball evolution that might be a good thing.

Would definitely like to see more...maybe some day.

She was strangled to death by the possessed Yukihime. Don't look too much into it. This is not that kind of anime lol.

What's making me wonder... is that a few episodes back, ppl were telling the Girl Reporter about a "ghost in a red dress"... so has she been dead this whole show? but then that doesn't make sense... since she was possessed by Enma in the end.. so she had to be human...

Maybe she just died when she was strangled by "Demon Yukihime" ... but that still doesn't explain how ppl were talking about the dead girl in the red dress months before....

Meh. I dunno.

Either way, good OVA.... just a little jumbled at the end. 8/10.

Well here's my theory guys. You know how before they said that when the ghost/demon leaves the host they're soul also goes and the host usually ends up killing themselves. What if when Enma possessed the girl and after he left to fight the baddy he sorta killed her or left her hollow enough so that she couldn't escape.

Damn, that's a really good anime. The two last OVA were just great, although I'm not sure that I understand everything at the beginning of the third one... But epic ambience in the manor.

Wooah, this was pretty bad. Maybe could have worked out as a different OVA, but not Enma-kun. I didn't watch this for the reporter or Inspector Typical-Go-Nagai-face. I watched this for Enma-kun and friends. And they only appeared at the very end of this bland mess. I don't give a damn about some Eronagi. The end was cool though. Enma being Enma.

Overall, pretty disappointing. I was hoping for a mature and darker version of Enma-kun, which it was in the first two episodes. The last two episodes kinda ruined the whole OVA. Also, not enough Yukiko tits. I mean, that was the whole point of Dororon Enma-kun lol. 4/10 only because I liked the first two episodes.

Seeing as there was a 5 months difference between her and the detective getting into the mansion, maybe she went back in time when she got out as a ghost?

Damn man the last two ova were brutal well yuri killed an innocent boy while being a punk seems cruel but she did much worse to the kid and his parents this punishment was calling for her. Since the anime ended with that orgy ending I thought this time enma and yuki would literary sleep in the bed but oh well.

I think Yuri became possessed when she put on the red dress. Maybe the dress's previous inhabitant was killed wearing the dress and was kind of tied to it. When Yuki put it on, the previous ghost or whatever was released and Yuki took its place.

I dunno....just a theory.

Mahoganycow's review is pretty on point. It felt like a collection of filler episodes from a full length series. I didn't care about any of the characters mainly because I was so clueless about them. Pretty bad ending, Enma the deus ex machina for the win. The kills and tits weren't bad though.

I'll explain. She is the ghost with the red dress and she has been dead through the entire show. Remember that Mansion is a time paradox. They all got taken at different times. Yet were there all at the same time.

Hope that helps ^~^.
They all died in there in their own time period.

This is quite plausible since it was foreshadowed early on in the series how she was always ignored by everyone she talked to.

Overall though, this was a pretty good show. Hope they remake it in the future 'cuz the latest Dororon Enma-kun didn't do it for me.

Dude what the hell is with that ending. Damn i feel like I have to go watch some comedy now or something. That is just depressing. The ending certainly subverted my expectations and made a bold choice that not alot of anime's would do. But I am still conflicted about the over all quality of this ova. What really threw me off was the sudden change in story and theme from a demon slaying type of plot to a murder mystery with a haunted mansion. I just found that to be a little off puting.

Especially considering i came into this thinking it would be more of a modern retake and edgy darker form of Dorohon Emna-kun from Go nagai's comedy ecchi adaptation, but deffinitly not that. I still have to give some points to the ending if you were smart enough to figure it out.
7/10 for me

Well now onto to go watch me some Great mazinger lol

You were looking for horror,
Yuri were looking for horror,
you are Yuri.

Enma warned Yuri,
Enma warned you,
"They take advantage of the darkness within you".

Yuri didn't get out in time,
she became a ghost,
you became a ghost.

She can't escape,
you can't escape.

The darkness within you led you here.
Now, you are a ghost and you can't escape it.

The take away message:
You will be forever alone.

A truly horrifying masterpiece! 10/10

Overall it was a bit all over the place.
The characters were never really explained, why a Kappa? Or a Hat that was alive!
The last 2 episodes were mixed up, jumping from scene to scene without any continuity.
Really wanted this to be better but was let down.
I did not hate it though.

Really gripped me from start to end with combination of great style and direction but wished the story was better that started to felt wasteful towards the end. The whole third and fourth episode was dragged to turned into survival horror show that could never existed to begin with had the show only shown us the plot just within the actual main characters' pov.

A weird anime overall. The last 2 episodes were very different from the first 2. I'm guessing the building was in another timeline or something to explain the weird story about the girl being a ghost.


I didn't expect it to end with everyone dead.

- Twist ending. She probably died from strangulation. But is she the only one who is still stuck in that house, or the other 4 are as well? Maybe she is the only one because she put on that red dress.

- This was directed by the same guy who directed Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season
