Sentai Filmworks is plumbing the depths of the old ADV Films catalog a bit next year with their release of the complete Those Who Hunt Elves collection. Sadly, it’s DVD only, but it’s a great series to bring back for the kind of silly fun that it presents. Scheduled for a March 15th, 2016 debut, it’ll bring the two seasons that ran in the fall of 1996 and the fall of 1997 into one collection with a twenty-four episode block priced at just $39.98. It’ll retain the original Japanese language track and the previously created English language dub as well. On-disc extras will include productions sketches as well as the clean opening and closing sequences.
Produced by Group TAC, it was directed by Kazuyoshi Katayami based on scripts by Yasunori Yamada working off of the original manga by Yu Yagami. Steven Foster directed the English language dub that included Rozie Curtis, Kelly Manison, Jessica Calvello and Andrew Klimko.
Plot concept: Tales of traveling to alternate dimensions are fun to watch in the movies, but when you get stuck in one yourself, it’s not quite as much fun. So when strongman Junpei, actress Airi, and teenage gun fanatic Ritsuko find themselves transported to a world populated by elves and other mystical beings, all they want to do is go home. Unfortunately, after putting their trust in the scatterbrained sorceress Celcia, the spell to send them back to Earth ends up getting scattered to the winds, with different parts attaching themselves to the bodies of Elves all across the planet. Now the only way to put it back together is to travel around the world, convincing elves to take off all their clothes for a “spell check”! Fortunately, the team also has access to a T-74 tank, so it’s time for the weirdest road trip ever. Warning! There are naked elves ahead as the ultimate fanboy fantasy is launched in THOSE WHO HUNT ELVES!
