Storyline

Welcome to Neo Yokio, the greatest city in the world. It's the most populous urban agglomeration in North America, but its prestige does not merely stem from its size.

All of this is cold comfort to the lovesick Kaz Kaan (Jaden Smith), the youngest member of a family of: "magistocrats" - pink-haired demon slayers who once liberated the city. Today, his demon-slaying is barely more than a side-hustle coordinated by his Aunt Agatha (Susan Sarandon) - Kaz himself would rather concern himself with shopping, field hockey and - of course - mending his broken heart.

User Reviews

Recommended anime comedy

This is a fun and original show, not at all what I expected actually. The main character is a melodramatic douche and it's animated so you don't have to see his face, in many ways this is the role Jaden Smith was born to play. The voice acting and animation is not stellar but I recommend it completely unironically. This is just a fresh and fun show, better than most comedy anime.
