Loads of anime have a hard time being original, espacially in the comedy genre. Hoozuki no Reitsu has been a fresh breath of air. I mean, how often do you see the king of hell being treated like a little punk. Hoozuki is a badass.
Story: 7
The anime is episodic and does not follow a story with a clear end goal. It revolves around the funny cast and their interactions. The consept they used with the multiple hells and meetings between their respected cheif was brilliant.
Art: 8
The art is just awesome. The way they incorporate old classic japenese art into the background is fantastic. The

animation is good for a comedy anime and the designs are pretty unique as far as I have seen.
Sound: 9
THis is one of the strongpoints of this serie. The opening theme keeps playing in your head, it's hard to get rid off. Well timed sounds and music always seems to crack me up, and that is somthing Hoozuki no Reitsu does well.
Characters: 9
I Love most of the characters. Some of them have a bit of background story based on old asian folklore. Most of the characters are pretty likeable and doesn't turn sour and annoying. I have to say that the characters were really well casted. Fitting voices for everyone. Perfekt for dry jokes (I'm a big fan).
Enjoyment: 9
I'm launghing out loud every episode, that's actually quite rare in my case. I'm having tons of fun watching it (it's still finished at the time I'm writing this).
Overall: 8
I have a hard time giving any comedy anime higher then 8. Mostly due to the lack of any deeper meaning. This anime is both unique and hilarious. It makes the most out of every character and non of them betrays my expectations
Edit: I have finished the series completely now and my opinion has not been altered in any way. I have watched alot of anime and this is definitely one of the better comedies.
