Summary: Oddly Entertaining.
Review: While some may view this anime as childish and silly (i.e. the rest of my household) it is a very good balance of the dramatic and the fun.

I want to know how a series with at least four deaths in the first DVD can be classified as 'just silly'.

The plot is a bit deeper than it first appears, as is the main character. I myself own up to volume three and it has drawn me in to its bizzarely addictive little universe.

In fact, I'd buy it just for the Translator's notes, which are at times strangely hilarious in their own right.

Its definitely worth the money. ^_~

Summary: Interesting Anime
Review: While Soul Hunter (SH) may not have been the best anime i have ever seen, it certainly wasnt the worst. The basic plot line is that our hero Taikoubou, is charged with to carry out a myterious mission Soul Hunt, which in short, he is suppose to houshine all the evil immortals coausing trouble in the human world.

That is the basic plot, but as in all anime nothing is quite so simple and SH is no different. In fact, many times thru-out the anime it gets confusing because there are more than one plot line happening at once, flash backs to other time to confuse you, and you lose track of valuable information and story plot during such events.

One thing this anime has going for it tho is the fight scenes and the humor...it is non stop, and with great fight scenes comes huge suspenes, which definatly builds when you are lead to believ obne of your favorite characters at the end is dead. (i wont say who because i dont want to spoil it). But it is very exciting and there is much at the end about Taikoubou that explains why he does what he does and so on.

This is certainly an anime series yuo dont want to miss....its right up there with neon genesis evangelion and all the best...this is a treasure sure ti be loved for its own uniqueness and style.
