Summary: Devil Hunter Yohko is Anime Excellence
Review: I disagree with the Amazon editorial review. Devil Hunter Yohko, or in its original name, Mamoto Hunter Yohko, is anime that is anything but silly. As a female anime fan, I found it empowering. I don't feel the nudity is gratuitous. Part of the story concerns Yohko coming to terms with her sexuality, and later claiming it, as well as the mantle of Demon Hunter. We all make the choice (hopefully it is not forced on us) as when and how to engage in sexual activity for the first time. When is the right time? Who is the right person? And what are the consequences of our choices? These are all questions that young women deal with every day. Yohko's choices and near-mistakes are as serious as the ones we make.Philosopy aside, this is vastly entertaining. The series has engaging characters whom most of us can recognize in our own lives. I agree with the reviewer who said Yohko's grandmother is her favorite. Yohko's devotion to her Obasan is touching. Other great characters include Yohko's flaky but caring mother, Yohko's best friend, and a nerdy boy at school. Overall, this DVD retains an innocent and noble quality despite a few blatantly sexual scenes. It is noble because of the good versus evil story, and boy, this is some serious evil. You will be on the edge of your seat cheering for Yohko. This is an anime made with love, and one for the ages.

Summary: Kick ass demon killing
Review: I've seen the whole series of Devil Hunter Yohko and I recommend it for demon killing gore/horror/comedy/etc. anime fans. Technically they're are a total of 5 episodes because episode four is just mix of DHY music vids some dont even seem to fit in with Devil Hunter Yohko. Eps. 1, 2, 3, 5, & 6 r all normal episodes. This does have some Sailor moon feel to it but, it is still very different. It is totally towards teens and adults and has alot of heavy adult themes. Plus theres praticaly a good amount of nudity/sexual themes. This is definatly not for kids! Its also a comedy/action/sex/gore/ genre of series. Overall its about a chic who fights Devils/Demons and she's dieing to be able to fall in love and have sex with men! ...

Summary: Yohko Is Here...Beware!
Review: Long before Buffy Summers ever picked up a stake, Yohko Mano was swinging her soulsword and carving up demons and other assorted nasties. Devil Hunter Yohko was the first anime ever released by A.D.Films--now known as ADV Films--so it's only fitting that it should be released on its 10th anniversary to DVD. Not only is the original anime included, but also the second and third installments on the second DVD, and an impressive amount of extras, like music videos, an art gallery, and a historical commentary from some of the ADV staff. It should be noted, however, that DHY is loaded with gratuitious nudity and sexual situations, and is definitely NOT for children(although the content in the later episodes is toned down considerably).

Summary: Incoherent Yet Entertaining
Review: Most of the episodes in this series were humorous and entertaining, yet when you have a collection with many episodes, you would think each one would build on what the other showed which wasn't the case in Devil Hunter Yohko. Each episode presented different stories and introduced random characters who were supposed to serve as main characters with a great say in how the episodes played out, but weren't able to do so since they weren't portrayed all throughout the series. The humor in this series is specifically geared towards adults as it consists of an abundance of nudity and fowl language that most parents wouldn't find suitable for children. Overall, there was a fair amount of action and gore in every episode, though I would be a little hesitant to list it in the horror genre. Devil Hunter Yohko uses ideas of both Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Sailor Moon to present its theme and purpose for Yohko being a devil hunter. Also, this series does not consist of 6 episodes but rather 5. The 4th episode is merely a music video collection about the series as a whole, yet the story still ends as it should and does not leave the viewer hanging. The 2 DVD's as a whole consist of both dubbed and subtitled versions of all the episodes, a few music videos concerning the series, and a wide array of trailors in the separate disk by AVD Films. The clarity of the picture is superb and very impressive. In sum, if you're looking for a decent anime with interesting action scenes, an interesting plot, and loads of humor, then by all means check Devil Hunter Yohko out.

Summary: Very Funny, tons of Fan Service
Review: Now that editorial is very wrong about this DVD, in many ways it is similar to sailor moon, like when she turns into a devil hunter you can see...most of her body. The original Japanese version of Sailor Moon had the same thing when she turned into a whatever you call them. It is funny and the Granny is really cool, she fights demons and is really short. The English voices are pretty annoying. There are a lot of sexual situations, which is not a bad thing. This anime will find anyway to show Yohko's breasts, like even when she rolls over in her nightgown....I would probably not recommend buying it because it is not THAT great, but it is definately worth seeing...

Summary: Good, but not the best...
Review: Pros -
1: Good animation, the graphics are decent compared to Fatal Fury or the Street Fighter series but still not AS great as Ninja Scroll.
2: Funny. It's a looney, crazy, out of this world (out of her clothes) action.
3: Eye candy, but nothing too adult if you are young. Cons -
1: Not AS good animation as Ninja Scroll.
2: Only 3 episodes! I WANT MOREEEE!
3: If you want a hentai, this isn't it. It is pleasing animation but there is nothing explicit or adult about it.
