Loads of anime have a hard time being original, espacially in the comedy genre. Hoozuki no Reitsu has been a fresh breath of air in my eyes. This is my first review, so take it easy on the criticism :)
Story: 7
The anime is episodic and does not follow a story with a clear end goal. It revolves around the funny cast and their interactions. The consept they used with the multiple hells and meetings between their respected cheif was brilliant.
Art: 8
The art is just awesome. The way they incorporate old classic japenese art into the background is fantastic. The animation is good for a comedy anime and the designs are pretty unique as far as I have seen.
Sound: 9
THis is one of the strongpoints of this serie. The opening theme keeps playing in your head, it's hard to get rid off. Well timed sounds and music always seems to crack me up, and that is somthing Hoozuki no Reitsu does well.
Characters: 9
I Love most of the characters. Some of them have a bit of background story based on old asian folklore. Most of the characters are pretty likeable and doesn't turn sour and annoying. Fantastic voice acting which fits for the characters.
Enjoyment: 9
I'm launghing out loud every episode, that's actually quite rare in my case. I'm having tons of fun watching it (it's still finished at the time I'm writing this).
Overall: 8
I have a hard time giving any comedy anime higher then 8. This anime is both unique and hilarious, but it's not a masterpiece. That said, it is really good though. read more

This must be the best anime I have ever seen, i't has really good characters, that are well made, with very unique personalities. The jokes that are shown are hilarious, most of them make allusions to other shows or movies, they also have that dark humor (that I personally LOVE)
The story is mainly what the synopsis says but more enjoyable than what it sounds like, believe me.
This is by far the best anime lately, and the opening is so catchy! After watching it you won't regret it, and if you like japanese stuff I think you would like it even more. So if you want to go and give it a shot! read more

I guess another derivative have spawn from hell. You got both main character that has versatility to do different task and some stuff for jokes and laughs. Though Hoozoki no Reitetsu is like Dante's Divine Comedy that elaborates pessimistic virtues in hell while Gintama that has more variety and spices in its series that displays mostly realism.
The style of humor in this show some how gives me the gintama feeling nothing else i dont know if its just me but the style of their jokes is just funny in the same way as gintama but more childish and less of that kintama talk
Comedic gag which follows a group of workers in their daily lives and make some references to real things

It has dark humor with extreme violence and pop culture in it. They both have a topic on demons but Hoozuki is focused on the Eastern side while Azazel-san is more on the Western side.
You'll probably know more about different types of hell. Eastern and Western compared stereo-typically.
