Summary: Devil Hunter's and Sex... Nice
Review: Devil Hunter Yohko is one SWEET show. I simply loved the first episode for all it's humor, wit, action, and sexual puns. The nudity in this show truly comes second to the story itself and all the comedy and action in it; the nudity only helps act like a guideline in a sense and helps moves the story along when needed. To be honest it makes sense to have it. I mean the story is about her fighting demons yes, but she's got to stay a virgin first until she officially becomes the 107 devil hunter. If you were a devil bent on world domination wouldn't you have your demon spawn change a dorky boy into a "mega playboy" and get him to sleep with her to save you the trouble of getting into a brawl which you'll probably lose.

Either way the show is super awesome. It has some great action scenes which are portrayed rather well with some artwork that goes beyond the comic book fashion. The jokes and antics are hilarious. I mean your grandma bustin' in on you when you're half awake and trying to beat the crap out of you isn't funny, then you need to see how they do it in yohko and you will. The artwork is is pretty good; it could be better I'll admit, but it's still quite good concerning what this shows about. Most of the characters along with Yohko are quite lovable, especially good ol' grandma. If you're a fan of anime genre or a newbie to it all then Yohko if definitely worth checking out if not owning.

Summary: Awsome anime, with great dubbing.
Review: ... I loved the american voices, particularly Amanda Winn asthe protagonist Yoko Mano. Also, Ms. Winn, Tiffany Grant, (who isYoko's best friend Chi,) and Kimberly Yates, who isn't in this videobut plays a charecter who shows up in the sequals, have all donevoices in various other dubbed anime videos, so apparently they can'tbe too bad. As for the video itself, I liked the charecters for thierpersonalities as well, and I loved the action scenes and the story,about a high school girl who, unbeknownst to her and everyone eles buther grandmother, is destined to become the 108th. devil hunter anddefend the world from demons. However, that will never happen if sheloses her verginity before her powers can fully develope. (This iswhat happened to her mother.) If this sounds like something that wouldoffend you, (it's definetly NOT a cartoon for the whole family,) skipit. If you think you might be interested, however, definetly check itout.

Summary: Anime Cheese
Review: As anime goes this one is fluff. Don't get me wrong I've seen worse but for the most part I've seen much better. this anime is just plain corny. the story is weak and well everything about it is cheese and not even good cheese like cheese whiz dairy by-product avoid or it might give you gas.

Summary: Devil Hunter Yohko
Review: Damn!
I was very very impressed with this movie!
I thought it would be something stupid, but it was awesome!
The plot is pretty original, with demons and all.
This movie does have some nice gore, and gratious
nudity, and adult situations.
The action sequences were great!
Damn this girl kicks major ***!
And the battle with Yohko and the Dark Queen was absolutely amazing!
If you are an anime fan, then this film is for you!
This funny, good movie is definately recommended!

Summary: Gotta love it
Review: Devil Hunter Yohko is great. I love all of the characters. Especially Yohko's grandmother. She's just great. My favorite sceen is when Yohko's mom and grandmother are battling it out over breakfast. That alone makes it worth the cost. It's just too funny. Anyways back to the review. Devil Hunter Yohko is a story about a young girl who is destinted to become a devil hunter. In this DVD set she comes into her powers, fights a demon queen, meets 2 totally hot guys, saves ones girlfriend, and gets an apprentice. I wish there were more than two DVD sets. This is one show that should have been continued.

Summary: Loved it, and you might, too
Review: Devil Hunter Yohko starts out as the lighthearted tale of an average teenage girl. Very rapidly we learn that she's not so average after all. Namely, she's so desperate to lose her virginity she'll go to bed with the first cute guy willing to pay for a hotel room. This is actually a pretty interesting situation of role-reversal. If it were a boy who wanted sex so bad he'd sleep with any willing female, no one would think twice about it. Since it's a girl, though, it seems strange and funny and sexy.

Of course, with a title like that you know there's more to it than the normal anime romantic hijinks. Yohko finds out she can't have sex without putting the world in jeopardy from invading demons. This sets up another role-reversal, when she must save a boy from a marauding female demon.

I couldn't honestly say whether a girl would like this anime or not. I think most girls would like Yohko, but there is some gratuitous nudity. Of course, most guys will like this. The video is funny and the action is decent. I recommend that you at least check out this first tape.

Summary: Buffy fans take note...
Review: Devil Hunter Yohko was one of the very first anime I saw way back when ADV was a little company that everyone never heard of. It was and is one of my favorite anime series. It chronicles the story of Yohko, a young high school girl that has a special destiny. She is actually the 108th generation of Devil Hunters...mystical warriors who fight the forces of darkness and evil. While this may sound similar to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Yohko came first. Yes, even before the movie. Perhaps Buffy was even influenced by Yohko, as Joss Whedon is a comic fan.

This release contains the first three episodes in Japanese as well as English. Also included are some art, music video, and some commentary. I only watched the sub version. Perhaps the Amazon reviewer watched the show in English because obviously in the sub version his loopholes such as a devil hunter having to be a virgin are clearly explained after the end of the first episode, and we find out that the esteemed line of Devil Hunters must stay pure only until they actually become a Devil Hunter. After that, all bets are off.

Watching this show now, nearly 10 years later, I'm surprised at how well it stacks up against today's shows. While there is the typical gratuitous nudity, sexual situations, and violence present even in today's anime, Yohko is instantly likeable as she struggles with life trying to balance her secret demon hunting career and her hormones/high school life. Sound familiar? Laced with humor and gags, Yohko is a funny show. Another great feature is the music. I really like the music in Devil Hunter Yohko. Perhaps it's just nostalgia creeping it's head up but, the music is quite catchy.

Granted, it can seem a bit much, and I agree that it is a fan service fest, as Yohko seems to lose much clothing, but there is still something about it that appeals to me. Not being into the gratuitous nudity and sex, I ordinarily would shun a show like this. Like I said, it may be nostalgia rearing it's head, because I enjoyed this show and recommend it to fans of Buffy if only to what may have even been it's original inspiration.

Summary: VERY GOOD: Devil Hunter Yohko is really funny.
Review: Devil Hunter Yohko's story is solid and the fight scenes are awesome. The series starts out as a lighthearted tale of an average teenage girl, but soon we learn that she's not all that average. After several battles with various demons, the series ends with an awesome climatic battle between Yohko and the Dark Queen. This series is funny with plenty of action, and the normal romantic hijacks. I recommend that you check out this series.
