Sorcerer Hunters Review

Strange I've not reviewed this yet.

The Spooner continent is divided into two sets of people, Parsoners and Sorcerers, however it soon becomes clear that the Sorcerers are abusing their powers against the Parsoners, under the guidance of Big Mama, the head of the church, a small band of heroes made up of Carrot, Marron, Tira, Chocola and Gateau set out to eliminate the rogue Sorcerers but there maybe more to the team than what it seems especially when Carrot is such a pervert.
The series is a nice transition between Grindhouse and anime more akin to today, they never pull punches when it comes to eliminating Sorcerers but the cast is much lighter in tone compared to anime before them and no characters shows this better than the Misu sisters Tira and Chocola who both become dominatrixs in battle, equally Carrot who absorbs magic to turn into a monster, it achieves a balance not seen much in anime at the time of the mid 90s and really underrated as a series.
At no point does anything feel over done or out stays it's welcome, it's a solid anime.
The only complaint is the horrific treatment it got in the West, in fighting at ADVFilms caused the series to go through many re-writes of the localization and voice actors were quitting in protest, in fact this is probably the first example of westerners going against the original script, a practice that quickly died out in ADVfilms but came back in a worse form more recently with the inserting of political statements that have nothing to do with the anime or changing characters to suit an agenda when that isn't what the original writer intended.
It's a bad practice and needs to stop.
Final Verdict: A great series spoiled by a bad western release, it fits proudly in the middle of an era that transitioned from it's more violent era into what anime is still today.
