Chimimo (ちみも) is an original Japanese anime television series animated by Shin-Ei Animation with cooperation by M2 Animation and DeeDee Animation Studio, and directed by Pino Aruto. Kimiko Ueno writes the scripts, and Yashikin composes the music. The anime aired from July to September 2022 on TV Tokyo and BS Asahi. The story revolves around the Onigami sisters where the second daughter, Mei Onigami, discovers a strange round creature that only says "chimi." Her sisters, Mutsumi and Hazuki, agree to let the being stay with them until its owner comes to claim it. However, as soon as one of them utters the word "hell," more creatures show up until there are 12 in total. The sisters think nothing of this until the critters create a portal that summons an envoy from Hell. Jabberwock the Eighth, a horned and fanged man covered in fur, has come to unleash a living hell on earth under orders from his boss. However, when living in the human realm proves to be challenging, the Onigami sisters allow him to stay with them. They also take in his "Chimimoryo spirits"—the round demons that preceded his arrival. Called Jigoku-san by the Onigami sisters, this messenger from Hell has a lot of work cut out for him if he wants to take over the world. But before that, he will have to survive the everyday hells of human life.
