Editor's Notes and Comments:

Description:
WARNING! NAKED ELVES AHEAD! The elves of Middle Earth never faced a foe as terrifying, as determined, as down right demented as Those Who Hunt Elves. Strongman Junpei, Hollywood actress Airi, teenage Ritsuko and their T-74 tank have landed in a (different) world of elves, and the spell to send them home has run amuck and split into five pieces that appear as tattoos on the bodies of five young female elves. So they set out on a quest to strip evey elf they can lay their hands on until they find the missing spell pieces. Get ready for the wildest, craziest fantasy ever animated as Those Who Hunt Elves prove that elf stripping is more than just a job; it’s an adventure!

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Good laughs, Worth buying
I got some good chuckles out of this anime, one of those animes you wish they would have conituned some how... Fun to re-watch for laughs as well.

Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad, but beware the English dub
Not too bad a series - silly fantasy with entertaining characters, a bunch of genuine laughs, and even a few touching moments (a girl and her tank... 'nuff said). But even as someone who normally prefers subs to dubs, I'd have to recommend watching it subtitled. It's not that the voice actors are cast badly or do an awful job... it's that the script has been absolutely brutalized.

The characters all cuss excessively (I'm no prude, but it actually got distracting at some points), and incredibly lame pop-culture references and puns abound throughout the script. I could forgive this much, except the writers also rewrote dialogue that substantially altered the plot of the story in some cases. As an example, a female nun's motivation was changed from misguided but heroic to an actual murderous intent, thanks to a dub translation that wasn't even close to the original. And listen to what the prince says to the flower-girl at the end of the ball! Ugh... If nothing else, you can have some fun watching some of the episodes back to back in English and Japanese and see how far off some of the English dialogue veers from the original.

Having seen this series, I suppose I understand a bit better now why some anime fans swear by dubs.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Time for some balance
There are two very big minuses with this series:
1. The animation is lame, with lots of still shots, even in the fight scenes
2. The English dub is poor, and deviates quite a bit from the Japanese.

The premise was great, and I wanted to love this series, but did not. It will be better for those who watch in the original Japanese.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - This isn't a porn
I thought this would be a no plot anime porn. But, its an actual movie with a plot.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Possibly the hardest I've laughed in years!
This series (especially series one) is now runner-up for my favorite anime series. If you consider my favorite has stood since it came out in 1992, that's saying something. (Oh, All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku-Nuku is my favorite, tied with the Nuku-Nuku TV sequel series). If you like the humour style anime this one is a must.
