{"product_id":"sorcerer-on-the-rocks-dvd","title":"Sorcerer on the Rocks - DVD","description":"Chivas Scotch is an exceptionally talented magician of thoroughly questionable character. As a bounty hunter for hire, he eliminates rogue sorcerers and dangerous monsters — for appropriate compensation only, of course. Perpetually broke despite his skills, he owes an enormous sum to the loan shark Million Dollar and takes any job that might pay it down. Accompanying him is Gin Fizz, a voluptuous Sister of the Golden Cross who suspects Chivas has a good core beneath his mercenary exterior and has appointed herself the person who will bring it out — a project he does not encourage, as he treats her more like an accessory than a partner. Rounding out the group are Kiss, a small werewolf elf, and Genmi, a young warrior with an extremely devoted attitude toward Lord Chivas. Count Cuttlefish provides the contracts. Million Dollar provides the pressure. The monsters provide the mayhem.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSorcerer on the Rocks — known in Japan as Chivas 1-2-3 — is a two-episode OVA spin-off of the Sorcerer Hunters franchise, directed by Kazuhiro Ozawa — the same director as the Battle Athletes OVA and the Tenchi Muyo! Mihoshi Special — produced by Studio Daume, and based on a spin-off manga by Satoru Akahori and Miku Yuki serialized in Monthly Dengeki Comic Gao!. Released in Japan on August 21 and September 21, 1999. The series uses the tone and comedic register of Sorcerer Hunters — amoral protagonist, slapstick fantasy violence, fan service — while featuring an entirely new cast of original characters with no connection to the Hunters themselves. The English dub was produced by ADV Films in Houston. The original ADV Films DVD was released in North America in 2001 collecting both episodes on a single disc; a planned Essential Anime Collection reissue was announced for February 2005 but was indefinitely delayed and never released.\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 Kazuhiro Ozawa (Battle Athletes OVA, Tenchi Muyo!
