My Demon Tyrant and Sweet Baby

After watching Psychic Princess, I received a recommendation for My Demon Tyrant and Sweet Baby. It is a Chinese anime, or Donghua. This show had romance, cuteness, comedy, and all the makings of a rom-com with a splash of (unnecessary) drama. There are episodes on YouTube, and this streaming site called IQ (I don’t know anything about this site, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it, so proceed with caution – it looked like a legit site, and I hope it was).

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

There are awkward/funny moments between the female lead (who is a nanny) and the child’s uncle.

There are funny moments when the Dad sees the difference in how his daughter treats him versus her nanny (don’t worry it all works out in the end!)

Mia, the little girl, thinks the nanny is her mom.

And this moment when Mia didn’t want her Dad’s ornament near theirs, and it was relegated to the bottom of the tree.

It’s an obvious romance anime, with a happy predictable ending, but I love those! Some secondhand happiness is always appreciated.

Only Kiss is Allowed to Rock This Late at Night

I stumbled upon Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up / Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera on VRV/Crunchyroll. I was intrigued so I watched the first episode. It is so cheesy, but it was worth a few chuckles. In the first episode, Harumi is trying to help her friends. They snuck into school for toilet paper (???) but ran across a spirit of ill intent. Harumi is frightened, and almost drowns in the school pool, but is saved by a kappa named Kappavier.

We completely understand. In 2020, toilet paper was very elusive. But that does not excuse stealing it from school!

Kappavier brings Harumi to meet his friends, after assuring her he would not steal her face. At the Helliday Inn, she meets a band of demon hunters, led by Prince Enma. They bring evil spirits to justice. Her friends need their help!

The demon hunters have a plan, sort of. But they need a decoy. Kappavier explains why he can’t volunteer.

That must be kappa lingo, because I have no idea what that means.

Prince Enma and the team save Harumi’s friends and defeat the evil demon. However the fight includes scenes reminiscent of middle school humor. I may watch an episode or two between other shows. But if you’re into slightly inappropriate humor, and supernatural beings, you may want to give it a chance.
