Definitely NOT the 1989 series (though that Akuma-kun does appear)
An updated and considerably more gritty take on the same mythos.
Sett about 30 years after the previous anime This Akuma kun is one third L (from death note) one third Sheldon Cooper (From Big Bang Theory) and one third Sherlock (from the BBC series) and is the adopted son of the second Akuma Kun who pops in when needed, having barely aged a day, owing to time running differently in the demon world.
Ichiro Umoregi being a genius, a sociopath and who has seemingly rejected most of the twelve except for Mephisto's jnr.'s son (Mephisto 111) replacing his father who is now living as a human and happily married. As well as some regular appearance from Hyakume and Komori-Neko during the credit scenes.
Gremory makes a startling return in various forms and the stories are introduce a wealth of new characters to replace old favourites like the Umoregi family.
Both funny and spooky, with far more underlying threat than its predecessor, better art work (especially the backgrounds) and fun character development I give this a strong 8/10.
