{"product_id":"sorcerer-hunters-dvd","title":"Sorcerer Hunters (TV) DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the Spooner Continent, sorcerers are the aristocracy — and many of them abuse that power without mercy, terrorizing the common people who have no means of fighting back. Big Momma, the goddess-like authority who governs all magic on the continent, has a solution: the Sorcerer Hunters, an elite quintet dispatched to stop rogue magic users by any means necessary. Carrot Glace is their nominal leader — a self-proclaimed love machine who chases every woman he encounters and transforms into a rampaging monster every time magic hits him, which happens constantly. His younger brother Marron is elegant, powerful, and the only one reliably paying attention. Gateau Mocha is a blond bodybuilder whose dedication to his physique is matched only by his devotion to Marron. The Misu sisters — gentle, bespectacled Tira and voluptuous, aggressive Chocolate — both carry a torch for Carrot, and both transform into whip-wielding dominatrixes when combat demands it. Together they are chaotic, frequently catastrophic, and somehow effective. The first half of the series is episodic monster-of-the-week comedy; the second half darkens considerably when the true villain Zaha Torte emerges — a nihilist who wants to destroy the world so it can be reborn pure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSorcerer Hunters is a 26-episode fantasy comedy series based on the light novel and manga by Satoru Akahori —\u003cstrong\u003e the creator of Knights of Ramune and Maze: The Mega-Burst Space \u003c\/strong\u003e— directed by Koichi Mashimo and produced by Xebec, making it the studio's very first production. The series aired on TV Tokyo from October 1995 through March 1996 and is notable for its tonal range: the front half is breezy comic fantasy with liberal fan service, while the back half (released in North America by ADV as \"Spell Wars: Sorcerer Hunters' Revenge\") introduces genuine dramatic stakes and character depth.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Koichi Mashimo (Noir, .hack\/\/SIGN, Eat-Man)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Light Novel \/ Manga:\u003c\/b\u003e Satoru Akahori (Knights of Ramune, Saber Marionette J) \/ Rei Omishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Xebec (Nadesico, Dual!
