Demon Prince Enma (鬼公子炎魔 Kikōshi Enma?) is a Japanese horror anime and manga series created by Go Nagai. It is a sequel/remake of Dororon Enma-kun. The manga version of Demon Prince Enma would get a sequel called Satanikus Enma Kerberos by Eiji Karasuyama in 2007.
Four grown demons (Enma, Yukihime, Kapaeru, and Grandpa Chapeauji) form the group known as the Enma Detective Agency. They go after demons and monsters that have escaped from Hell into the human world.
Satanikus ENMA Kerberos (Satanikus ENMA ケルベロス Satanikus ENMA Keruberosu?) or Satanikus ENMA Κέρβερος is a direct sequel to the Demon Prince Enma, with no relation to the OVA. Its serialization started in June 26, 2007 in the number of August 2007 of Kodansha's Magazine Z. While Demon Prince Emma is an adult horror-action manga, Satanikus ENMA Kerberos takes a less serious tone and becomes slightly more lighthearted. The focus of the series is the quest to revive Enma.
Helen McCarthy in 500 Essential Anime Movies says the violence is "extreme", but "it's stylishly designed and animated". She praises the soundtrack and humor, which is "well integrated in the characters".
