Editorial Review:
This silly three-part adventure plays like a nudie version of Sailor Moon. When Yohko Mano turns 16, her grandmother explains that she must assume her role as a "Devil Hunter," continuing a family tradition that has lasted 107 generations. And not a moment too soon: The sadistic high school principal is plotting to resurrect the queen of the demons in a ritual that involves the blood of Hideki, the guy Yohko nurtures a crush on. With the help of a magic ring and sword, Yohko dispatches the baddies and assumes her new career. In episodes 2 and 3, Yohko's best friend, Chi, becomes her "manager," and she acquires an apprentice, Azusa Kanzaki. In all three, Yohko tackles a variety of demons while losing the top of her outfit and/or flashing her panties. The plots are riddled with more holes than Yohko's costumes. Grandma Madoka explains a Devil Hunter has to be a virgin, yet she's still offing evil spirits; after Yohko saves her adored Hideki's life by killing the demons in episode 1, he simply evaporates and is never heard of again. For otaku seeking "fan service" only. Rated 17 Up: Violence, nudity, sexual situations, risqué humor, profanity. --Charles Solomon

Even better than the first 3 episodes, Devil hunter Yohko is classic Anime at it's best! This show may be a bit dated, but it still has sexy girls, engaging plots, and great music. This DVD is absolutely exceptional in every way and I strongly recomend it for any anime fan(provided you can deal with the nudity of course).
Rating: - One of the timeless classics.
The very first anime ever released by ADVision, this is still one of the best, even in this day and age of shows like AZUMANGA DIAOH, EXCELL SAGA, and MAGICAL SHOPPING ARCADE ABENOBASHI.
Regarding Amazon's plot description, there is no plot hole regarding the part about devil hunters and virginity. I guess that guy must not have been paying close enough attention. Let me make it clear for you: a girl born into the Mono family must remain a virgen until the first time she blossoms and ... Read More
Rating: - she fights demons
Yohko wants to become a 107 devil hunter but she has to stay a virgin first. Later in this show she starts to have powers fights a devil queen. She has a crush on a guy who doesn't want to waste his time on her. One girl she saves becomes her assistant. The action is not for kids, theirs a lot of panty shots showing and full nudity.
Rating: - Devil Hunter's and Sex... Nice
Devil Hunter Yohko is one SWEET show. I simply loved the first episode for all it's humor, wit, action, and sexual puns. The nudity in this show truly comes second to the story itself and all the comedy and action in it; the nudity only helps act like a guideline in a sense and helps moves the story along when needed. To be honest it makes sense to have it. I mean the story is about her fighting demons yes, but she's got to stay a virgin first until she officially becomes the 107 devil hunter. If ... Read More
Rating:  - Devil Hunter Yohko is Anime Excellence
I disagree with the Amazon editorial review. Devil Hunter Yohko, or in its original name, Mamoto Hunter Yohko, is anime that is anything but silly. As a female anime fan, I found it empowering. I don't feel the nudity is gratuitous. Part of the story concerns Yohko coming to terms with her sexuality, and later claiming it, as well as the mantle of Demon Hunter. We all make the choice (hopefully it is not forced on us) as when and how to engage in sexual activity for the first time. When is the ... Read More
