{"product_id":"those-who-hunt-elves-vhs","title":"Those Who Hunt Elves ~Season 1~ VHS","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a trio of bizarrely talented humans—a hot-headed martial artist, a brilliant Academy Award-winning actress, and a completely gun-crazy high school girl—are suddenly transported to a mystical fantasy world, they accidentally ruin the elven spell meant to send them home. The teleportation spell shatters, scattering its fragments across the continent where they seamlessly attach to the skin of unsuspecting elves. Left with no other choice, this eccentric team boards their magically possessed Type 74 Japanese military tank to hunt down the indigenous elven population. Their goal is as absurd as it is simple: strip every elf they encounter to find the hidden spell tattoos and piece together their ticket back to Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on Yu Yagami’s beloved fantasy-comedy manga series, \u003cem\u003eThose Who Hunt Elves\u003c\/em\u003e is a legendary staple of late-90s anime comedy. Produced by Group TAC and Amuse, the series gleefully throws typical high-fantasy serious tropes out the window in favor of pure, unadulterated slapstick humor, isekai parody, and chaotic energy. Directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama (\u003cem\u003eThe Big O\u003c\/em\u003e), the show perfectly balances over-the-top tactical gunplay with lighthearted fantasy misadventures. Released in North America on VHS by the iconic ADV Films, this classic home video tape captures the vintage aesthetic, featuring early English voice-over work that helped define the golden era of Western anime licensing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kazuyoshi Katayama (\u003cem\u003eThe Big O\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAppleseed OVA\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Creator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yu Yagami\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Group TAC \/ Amuse\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMusic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takashi Kenno\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTomokazu Seki \/ Andrew Klimko\u003c\/strong\u003e as Junpei Ryuzoji\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMichie Tomizawa \/ Kelly Manison\u003c\/strong\u003e as Airi Komiyama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYuko Miyamura \/ Rozie Curtis\u003c\/strong\u003e as Ritsuko Inoue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKotono Mitsuishi \/ Jessica Calvello (or Shelley Calene-Black)\u003c\/strong\u003e as Mistress Celcia Marie Claire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEriko Kawasaki \/ Tiffany Grant\u003c\/strong\u003e as Mike \/ Mihke (The Tank)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVHS Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage NTSC Format Presentation (Full Screen 4:3 Aspect Ratio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADV Films Home Video Trailers \u0026amp; Previews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHI-FI Stereo Audio Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal English Theme Song Packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e エルフを狩るモノたち (Erufu o Karu Mono-tachi)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~50-75 Minutes per Volume (Contains 2-3 Episodes)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kazuyoshi Katayama\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVHS Release Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998–2000 (ADV Films North American Home Video Releases)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Air Date (Japan):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e A.D.V.
