LC and myself just finished watching this series. Talk about goofy and not much clothing...sheesh. The first part of the season had it's really funny episodes with no real plot focus. The names of the characters are really obsurd, "Big Momma" for instance...yeah she's big and everyone calls her Momma. Except Dotta should have been named Daughter with how they were naming everyone.
Second half of the series picked up more in terms of the plot. Still with the goofy stuff. But the ending I was a bit surprised by what they did to four of the characters. I thought it was an interesting idea...although it just sort of ended at the very end when they played the end credits music. I was waiting for a huge all out battle, but I didn't get it...*sigh*
Side Note: This was originally suppose to be a Christmas present for LC, except I bought him Soul Hunter (which he specifically asked for). The box set contained two disk 4s and no disk 2 and disk 3 was loose in the box and scratched. So I sent it to ADV for an exchange and somehow they thought Soul Hunter was the same as Sorcerer Hunters. Because that's what we got. We ended up keeping it anyways...but we still didn't get to see Soul Hunter -_- I didn't originally return it to Best Buy because the 2 box sets that they had they all had something loose in them...didn't want to chance it a second time.

Wow...XD I honestly never wanted to see this series, I just really like it's OP, "What's Up Guys".
Random passerby: It's obviously because Hayashibara Megumi sings part of it.
Not true, it is a cool song...erm...yeah...I think she does the voice of someone...but I don't know who...>_>;
As for Soul Hunter, sorry to hear you couldn't get it. >< I've seen it, and I for one think it's really good. It's a bit on the goofy side as well though, but I like goofy things, so I don't know if you guys might think otherwise of it. For example, while they are in ancient China, two of the characters don't seem to have any trouble pulling out some blowdyers to fix their hair...
I thought it was funny...but...>_>;
Erm...yeah, that's all I have to say....-__-

I used to rent Sorcerer Hunter tapes from my local comic book store back in the day. I only saw the first batch of episodes, I never got far enough into it to get to the "plot" episodes ^^;.
Some years past, and I have a lower tollerance for shows that overdo the fanservice, so I've never seen the rest of it. Who knows though, maybe I should rent the rest of it from Greencine someday...
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the opening song IS awesome. but I like fast songs soo...

I haven't seen all of it, but I like it. In fact, my friend just gave me her stuff (IIRC, volumes 1, 2, and 7 dubbed of the series, the OAV subbed, the first manga in english, and 2-13 in Chinese). My favorite parts are the Lake episode and the one where they're in the town of dreams.
