Bakurestu Hunter is a show which aired in 1995 in Japan. (I think) It was
followed up by a three episode OVA series which took three stories out of
the manga. There were a total of thirteen volumes of the manga.
In the Spooner Continent, there are some evil sorcerers (also some good
sorcerers) who are tyranizing the citizens. To fight against these people,
Big Mama sends out the Sorcerer Hunters. The main group of sorcerer hunters
the story focuses upon is a group of five, Carrot Glasse, Marron Glasse,
Chocolate Misu, Tira Misu, and Gato Mocha. Big Mama believes in trying
to fix the world as it is. However, there is another who believes
differently. His name is Zaha Torte. Find out what mysteries surround him
and his past and his relationship with Big Mama and the Sorcerer Hunters.
The OVAs take place pretty much anywhere in the TV series. They don't really
have any kind of "plot" element which would hurt you if you watch them
before seeing the end of the TV series. However, episode 2 of the OVA series
has a character names Milphey, which you won't meet in the TV series until
maybe episode 17. (I forget which ep he appears in)
Characters:
Carrot Glasse
Carrot basically tries his hardest to go after all the pretty girls
and women he can find. That is what he spends most of his time doing
throughout most of the episodes. It's strange that he does this,
considering that Chocolate and Tira would gladly spend the night
with him. However, maybe that is just the very reason he denies them.
He may not want what comes easily.
Carrot has a sword, but you hardly ever see him use it. His main
weapon and reason he is a sorcerer hunter is that he is able to
absorb magic and then transform into zoantropy. Other than that,
he is pretty useless...
He also has another side of him... A very dark side, in fact. There
is more the him changing into zoantropy than meets the eye... And
what exactly is his relationship with Zaha Torte? Well...trying to avoid
too many spoilers here, I'll leave the rest of that up in the air.
Marron Glasse
Chocolate Misu
Chocolate is deeply in love with Carrot. They had grown up together, which
I suppose is one of the reasons she loves him. She recognizes Carrot's
nice side.
Tira Misu
Tira is also in love with Carrot, however she is more subtle about her
affections. She is a cute, little, innocent looking woman... But make
her angry and she'll show you her other side.
Gato Mocha
Gato is all muscles. He is relatively new to the other 4 sorcerer
hunters. There are some subtle hints that he has a thing for Marron.
Watch out for them.
Dota
Dota is well...Dota. (short for Daughter - sounds cuter than Daughter)
She pretty much just acts as an inbetween for Big Mama and the Sorcerer
Hunters. Also, she is there for Big Mama to have someone to talk to so
Big Mama can reveal what is happening to the rest of us :) Watch out
for her when she talks, though...she tends to be a tad bit faster than
normal.
Big Mama
Big Mama is the leader of the "good" team. We say good here since our
main characters work for her, though who is to say that what she is
doing is right. She assigns tasks to the Sorcerer Hunters and also
to her elite troup of Haz Knights.
Zaha Torte
Zaha Torte is the leader of the "bad" team. Of course, I think he
is pretty much a one-man team :) He and Big Mama differ on a few
different ideas. They used to be together, but Zaha quit and left
Big Mama because of their different ideals. He seems to show
an interest in the Sorcerer Hunters. Why is that?

enough to watch it, I don't know what is :)
OVA 1: "A Nighttime Visit, a Nighttime Visit, It Extends Even to the Birds and the Bees"
The whole gang has decided to take a break and rest at a nice hot springs.
So you know what that means... It is the traditional "hot springs" episode
with more fan service than you know what to do with. However, this episode
is also extremely funny. Carrot, Potei, and Chocolate are all trying to
have a nighttime visit witht he one they love. Chocolate loves Carrot, of
course. Carrot loves anyone besides Chocolate and Tira, of course. And
Potei...well...he doesn't care. (or does he?)

OVA 2: "The Legendary Book of Evil and Destruction"
Since the last episode was totally silly, I guess they decided to try to
make one which was serious this time. But wait, this is Bakuretsu Hunter.
You can't make a serious episode! Well, they did. With one exception.
Milphey is called upon to help out the Sorcerer Hunters this time
because he knows a lot about their target. However, Milphey just can't
seem to...well...you'll find out. Anyways, they're target is to save
the people of Famil from being enslaved as zombies and used to rule
the world.

your life. As you suspected, it is now in bloom and the Sorcerer Hunters,
specifically Carrot, Chocolate, and Tira are here to take advantage of
it. However, Carrot is not planning what Chocolate and Tira are...
