A random pick on Tubi led me to this anime. It's only four episodes.
Enma is part of a small team of interesting characters who are tasked with finding demons and sending them back where they belong. I'm not going to go much further into the plot. With only four episodes, you can check it out if it interests you.
A couple warnings, though. The nudity and violence is a bit over the norm in this. If you're a prude, it could be a problem. If you're prone to frighten easily, I wouldn't recommend watching this at night. Some of the topics touched on could also be a bit of an issue if you're sensitive to incest, suicide or rape.
Putting aside the warnings, I did like this show. The animation of the backgrounds was strange at times, and I can't quite explain how. I liked the soundtrack, and the character models were pretty cool. I saw the manga version of Enma (the manga seems super hard to locate, and I couldn't verify if English copies exist), and I have to say, the anime version fit the story really well.
This anime will not work for everyone, but I enjoyed the little twists and turns in there. Having a talking hat called "Geezer" will instantly get me on board every time. There was more to it, of course, but I felt like this was really good for a blind pick. Good Anime!
Side note - I want to give a shoutout to the anime for using Träumerei. It's a piece of music that's gotten stuck in my head a lot during my life, and it was only a few years ago that I was able to track down the name of it. It's a peaceful bit of piano music, and I really love it. It's not used that way here at all, but I always smile when I hear it somewhere beyond my head!
