Summary: Bakuretsu is worth it
Review: For those of you who remember the days of fan subs, Bakuretsu Hunters (Sorcerer Hunters) was one of the best titles out there. And it still is. Where else you can find a guy who turns into a beast of destruction that must be whipped back to human form by VERY scantily glad, gorgeous women as a central plot theme? Aside from that, the story is good and stands on its own merit, the animation is excellent for the time it was produced in, and the characters will leave you in hysterics. If you're looking to get into Anime, or have been in the know for a while and haven't checked out this title, you won't regret it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as the manga...
Review: Having the first eight Sorcerer Hunters' books I figured to try out the anime. I was somewhat unimpressed with it.
The artwork is OK, the music was nice and some of the stories come right out of the manga, but the delivery was flawed. The anime's rhythm was off, as it tried to be funny when it should be serious and it was serious when it should be funny. The humor was light and not as kinky as I would have liked.
Even the voices seemed a tad off which really killed it for me. Voice work is very important to the feel of any anime, just look at "Cowboy Bebop", "Tenchi Muyo!" or even "Those Who Hunt Elves!"
The DVD had seven episodes and I barely remember ANY of them!
I don't think I'll be ordering the other DVDs (unless somebody tells me they get A LOT BETTER than this one).

Summary: Not very impressive at first, but blew me away by series' en
Review: I am an anime DVD collector with over 250 anime DVDs to date. I bought the Sorcerer Hunters DVDs for this series without high expectations. I never heard of the series before, but since I love fantasy, I decided to try it out. The first few episodes were OK. They reminded me of the Slayers series (which I got bored with midway through the series). However, the disconnected comic episodes soon developed a running storyline that was both original and compelling. Characters began to be more developed and my interest grew. I ended watching the last two DVDs in one sitting and was sad when it ended. The last episode, though, was sure a blast, expecially Chocolate's new outfit! Also, great music! Along with Escaflowne and Record of Lodoss War - Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, Sorcerer Hunters is on my list of the best fantasy anime of all time.

Summary: Bakuretsu Hunters is Cool
Review: I saw this way back in its fansub days, and I can tell you this: It's an excellent series, as long as you can sit through the first dozen episodes. The first dozen are pretty much the same story each time, with a little bit of character development, and hints of a greater plot. Around episode 13, it looks like they changed storywriters entirely, because the entire rest of the series focuses very heavily on one major plot point, which gets progressively better and more engaging.

It's definately one of my top ten anime series, and I recommend it. You just might have to force yourself past the first few (though there are a few gems on this first disk, episode 5 for example is some of Carrot's best development in the series)

Summary: Sorcerer Hunters:Magical Encounters
Review: I thought this series was very cool when I first saw it. This is my first review on on an anime and this dvd knocked me out. The
humor and animation were great. Carrot Glace acts silly always chasing after girls and Tira and Chocolate are always beating him up. I think its because they want to spend the night with him that he avoids them. I never suspected that Marron and Gateau were gay. Tira and Chocolate look so sexy,hot and beautiful when
they transform. If you like magic,adventure and sexy humor, this
is the anime for you.
