Hozuki's Coolheadedness is a Japanese anime series that premiered on January 10, 2014, and was produced by Wit Studio. The show is based on the manga series of the same name by Natsumi Eguchi. The series is directed by Hiro Kaburagi and features the voice talents of Hiroki Yasumoto, Takashi Nagasako, and Yumiko Kobayashi, among others.

The show is set in the underworld, where Hozuki is the chief deputy of King Enma, the judge of the dead. Hozuki is known for his cool-headed and logical demeanor, and for his vast knowledge of everything related to the underworld. He is also known for his love of cute things, especially the animals of the underworld.

The series follows Hozuki as he goes about his daily duties in the afterlife, dealing with the various problems and challenges that come his way. He spends much of his time managing the various departments of the underworld, from the animal department to the torture department. He is assisted by his loyal and capable aides, the demon sisters Nasubi and Karashi.

Despite the fact that the series is set in the underworld and deals with the afterlife, Hozuki's Coolheadedness is surprisingly light-hearted and humorous. The show does not take itself too seriously and often uses its subject matter as a backdrop for jokes and gags. The humor in the show is often irreverent and absurd, but it always manages to be funny.

One of the standout aspects of the series is its setting. The underworld is depicted as a vast and intricate world, with its own customs, culture, and politics. The show explores these aspects of the underworld in great detail, providing a fascinating and entertaining look at the afterlife. The world-building in the series is impressive, and it is clear that a lot of thought and effort was put into creating this world.

Another standout aspect of the series is the character of Hozuki himself. He is a complex and interesting character, with a dry wit and a no-nonsense attitude. He is fiercely intelligent and capable, but he also has a softer side, particularly when it comes to animals. His love of cute things, particularly his pet goldfish, is a running joke throughout the series.

The supporting cast of characters is also well-developed and memorable. The demon sisters Nasubi and Karashi are a constant source of amusement, with their bickering and squabbling providing some of the funniest moments of the series. Other notable characters include the demon doctor Hakutaku, the demon god Peach Maki, and the lazy demon Ruriko.

Visually, the series is stunning. The animation is top-notch, with fluid movements and beautiful backgrounds. The character designs are also well-done, with each character having a distinct and memorable appearance. The show also makes use of various animation styles and techniques, including stop-motion animation and traditional Japanese woodblock printing, which add to its unique visual style.

The music in the series is also noteworthy, featuring a mix of traditional Japanese music and more modern compositions. The opening theme, "Jigoku no Sata mo Kimi Shidai" by Jigoku no Sata All Stars, is particularly catchy and memorable. The voice acting in the series is also excellent, with each actor bringing a unique and distinct voice to their character.

Overall, Hozuki's Coolheadedness is a hilarious and entertaining series that is sure to delight fans of comedy and fantasy alike. Its unique setting, complex characters, and stunning animation make it a standout among anime series. Whether you're looking for a laugh or a fascinating look at the afterlife, this series has something for everyone.

Hozuki's Coolheadedness is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on February 9, 2014.
