Well, I had heard alot about this anime, saying it was good and so forth. Well, maybe it gets good after the first tape. Because I saw the first tape, and was not impressed at all. I kept repeating to myself, "When is this gonna be over?" and "Where's that cool theme song I heard?"
Yohko is the 108th generation of Devil Hunters. Her principal is a devil that wants her dead. Fun fun, eh? A guy Yohko has been drooling over for some time gets captured, to use in the ritual of bringing the Queen of Darkness forth. Yohko's friend is possessed by a devil, and because of that, he seduces her and tries to take her virginity. (If she's not a virgin, she can't become a Devil Hunter) Not only that, but her Grandma's a screwball. Lots of laughs, minor action, flashes of nudity, (LOTS of flashes) and strange humor. I'm sure some people out there love this one! The difference between the original and Special Edition, is that the Special has more Yohko footage not released in the original.

Mink, half-dragon, half human, is out for the love of pop-star Dick Saucer. Unfortunately, Dick is also a Dragon slayer! So when the King orders Dick to kill Mink, there's only one thing she can do! Search for the legendary People-Potion, which will change anyone into a human. Plagued by dimwit Damaramu, Black Sorceress Vina, the King and his over-acting advisor, Mink has a big adventure on her hands! Not a very original story, (The typical boy-meets-girl in a fantasy genre) I recommend this very highly because of the humor. Funniest anime I've seen!!
