{"product_id":"demon-fighter-kocho-dvd","title":"Demon Fighter Kocho DVD","description":"Heian University has a very specific problem: its campus is infested with supernatural spirits who have taken a particular interest in the student body, and not in the academic sense. Kocho Enoki is a third-year student in the university's Astrology program — which, unusually, offers direct hands-on field experience with the paranormal. Kocho's method of exorcism is distinctive: she uses her own considerable physical charms to distract and subdue male spirits, depleting their energy through enthusiastic close contact. It works extremely well. Her sister Koran is a more conventional magical practitioner. Their hapless civilian accomplice Kosaku Urano functions primarily as demon bait — his supernatural sensitivity makes spirits flock to him, which at least makes them easier to locate. The system breaks down immediately when a female spirit arrives on campus who is completely unimpressed by Kocho's feminine charms and considerably harder to defeat than anyone expected.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDemon Fighter Kocho is a single 35-minute OVA produced by Anime R studio in 1997, directed by Toru Yoshida and written by Hiroshi Toda, based on Nonki Miyasu's four-volume manga serialized in Weekly Young Jump from 1995 to 1997. The music was composed by Toshihiko Sahashi — the same composer as Ghost Sweeper Mikami and Steel Angel Kurumi — and the ending theme \"Yakusai Kocho\" was performed by Hiroko Asakawa. The English dub was produced by NYAV Post in New York and features Jessica Calvello in the lead role. Released in North America on DVD by Media Blasters on December 19, 2000 at a budget price of $9.95, making it one of the more affordable single-episode releases in the Anime Works catalog. Notably the DVD is sometimes misidentified with an incorrect UPC.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Toru Yoshida\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScreenplay:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiroshi Toda\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOriginal Manga:\u003c\/b\u003e Nonki Miyasu (serialized in Weekly Young Jump, Shueisha, 1995–1997)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Anime R\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Toshihiko Sahashi (Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Steel Angel Kurumi)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnding Theme:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Yakusai Kocho\" by Hiroko Asakawa\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJapanese Cast:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Haruna Ikezawa as Kocho Enoki\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fumie Kusachi as Koran Enno\u003cbr\u003e\n- Koichi Tochika as Kosaku Urano (Pilot Candidate)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Koji Ishii as Taichi Kamo (Now and Then Here and There, Ceres Celestial Legend, El-Hazard)\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnglish Dub Cast (Media Blasters \/ NYAV Post — New York):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Jessica Calvello as Kocho Enoki\u003cbr\u003e\n- Amy Fitts as Koran Enno\u003cbr\u003e\n- Jamie McGonical as Kosaku\u003cbr\u003e\n- Michael Polak as Professor\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fun in the Studio (English dub recording outtakes\/behind the scenes)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Scene Access\u003cbr\u003e\n- Interactive Menus\u003cbr\u003e\n- Media Blasters \/ Anime Works Previews\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English Subtitles\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e 厄災仔寵 (Yakusai Kochō)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~35 Minutes (Single OVA Episode)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Toru Yoshida\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 2000 (U.S. Release, December 19 — Media Blasters \/ Anime Works)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOriginal Release Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e May 21, 1997\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Media Blasters (Anime Works)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e 16+\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Comedy, Supernatural, Fan Service\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Exorcism via Feminine Charms, Campus Haunting, Astrology Exorcists, Sister Team, Single OVA Episode\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42510310342741,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/BEF6812D-0E67-400F-998E-E4E8DFDB3B8A.jpg?v=1791410281","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/demon-fighter-kocho-dvd","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
