Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and animation lovers. If you loved Charmed, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 25 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Violent delinquent Oga encounters a baby one day, which crawls onto his back and immediately forms an attachment to him. Though he doesn't know it yet, this baby is named Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, or "Baby Beel" for short—the son of the Demon Lord!
