Summary: A constant adventure full of laughs
Review: 'Those Who Hunt Elves' is a wonderfully written series, while not on the serious side, this Anime focuses mainly on humor. Only in Those Who Hunt Elves, would people get teleported to another world with a Tank in tow. Another rare quality is that the anime is actually well dubbed! Although as most dubbing, the side characters don't have the best voices, but the main character's english voices are enjoyable to hear, and act thier emotions exceptionally well. If you're searching for a lot of laughs, this DVD is definately the key. Keep an eye out for the next DVD release, because after you see the first half, you definately will want the rest.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: On the road with a USO show.
Review: A tank driver, an actor, a big buff fighter and elves that have to be stripped.

This ranges from painfully funny to deadly serious.

If you liked Slayers you'll more than likely enjoy this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome first set!!
Review: I bought this set with no idea what to expect. I have watched a little bit of Anime before, but I wasn't ever really impressed. Needless to say, this one definitely got me hooked. The story line is somewhat out of the ordinary...and the humor is great! I totally love Junpei! He is hilarious!!
The only reason this one got 4 stars instead of five is the opening song/music. It is repeated throughout the DVD (particularly at the main title and at the beginning and end of every episode). I fell asleep watching the DVD one day and woke up with that annoying little tune in my head all day.

...but other than the opening song, I would recommend this set to all my family and friends. Sure, there is talk of stripping of elves, but there isn't any real nudity basically meaning you can't see anything you would see with clothes on.

Bottom line...get the set. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I found this anime to be horribly animated, and very hard to get into. I was unable to finish even the first episode... maybe it gets better as you watch on - but somehow I doubt it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Waste of time and money
Review: I have to wonder if the reviewers that gave this DVD a good rating saw the same one I did. The animation is cheesy, the comedy is beyond lame, and the characters are downright annoying. The basic idea is great and it's a shame it was handled so poorly. The shows look like half the scenes were chopped out and what remained was cut to the bare bone. I'd have given it one star except that I reserve that rating for truly horrendous examples of defective wares foisted on an unsuspecting public. My advice? Spend your money elsewhere.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb
Review: I will start my review by fully admitting my bias toward elves, and more particularly, naked elves. While there is not actual nudity in the series, naked elves are implied, and that's close enough for me!

This series is great. When you watch it, you need to keep in mind that it's 1/2 comedy 1/2 ... other stuff. Animation is decent, though I've seen better.

The characters are what really stands out about this series. Each of them, even the insignificant characters you only see in one episode then never see again are all very detailed and have their own story and unique personality.

NOTICE (to people who plan to watch this on their Computer as opposed to a standalone DVD player): The interface is kind of flawed. I tried running it with PowerDVD, and only got the opening FBI warning/adv intro. When you switch it to file mode and play the files directly, you can only listen to the dubbed version (dub-overs suck bad in this anime). I had to resort to InterActual player to get this to work. I hate having to use InterActual because there's no volume control.

Summary: Miracles do happen...
Review: Let me start out by saying that I love watching my anime DVDs with other people. True, some of those people don't exactly jump up and down when I tell them that we get to watch my anime DVD collection. Two of those people are my younger sisters. To date, they each only like two anime series. Fushigi Yugi and Card Captor Sakura. Imagine my surprise when I bought the first DVD of Those Who Hunt Elves and watched it with my sisters...and they ENJOYED it. They want me to get the next DVD! Needless to say, I was in shock.
But I do recommend this series to anyone who loves humor. The title puts a lot of people off, but it isn't as risque as it seems. Everyone that has watched this (either voluntarily or by having me duct tape them to a chair) has enjoyed it and fallen in love with it.
So, as they say, don't judge a book by its cover. Or, in this case, don't judge a DVD by its title! ^_^
Trust me on this, you'll love this series. If my two younger sisters could love this series, then definitely so could you. Miracles do happen, after all...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny...in a safe, nonthreatening way.
Review: Now, as there are already more than enough reviews, let me just add something. This anime is very funny, with hints and suggestions of naughtly, kinky fun, but like 'The Benny Hill Show' you won't really SEE anything. I would even suggest that older kids could watch it without a problem.
Frankly, a T-74 tank taken over by the spirit of a kitten seems very cute to me. You have to watch the episodes to get it. The good thing is the DVD holds 6 episodes!
This is one of a two DVD set that makes up the first series and 'Those Who Hunt Elves II' should become DVDs sooner or later.
