The Spooner Continent is overrun by sorcerers using Forbidden Magic. Carrot and his team's job as Sorcerer Hunters is to hunt them down to prevent another war from breaking out.

Very simple plot with a familiar troupe and a perverted protagonist that's motivated only by the prospect of pretty ladies. The show is as silly as the character names really and your skirt chasing protagonist Carrot who always gets punished by his teammates Tira and Chocolat every time. This setup seems to be pretty common during the 80/90s with shows such as Urusei Yatsura and City Hunter although at least Ryo was a highly skilled marksman.

It has its share of fan service but the two heroine sisters don't actually walk around in revealing outfits. They transform into them instead, a very sadist version of their usual reserved attire with a change of personality and physique to boot too. Kind of like Sailor Moon without the transformation sequence and a lot more revealing outfits. You see the sequence every episode.

Other than that, the male oriented fan service is really mild compared to modern day shows. Revealing outfits is as far as it goes as far as the TV series is concerned. Probably why the original title is gorgeous hunters as both the hunters and the series is filled with pretty female character designs.

First episode focuses on how the bond between two sisters are broken as they fall for the same evil sorcerer. After the sorcerer gets defeated, they are somehow reunited... They don't even try to set up anything elaborate. Enemy, fall in blatant trap, be surprised, turn the tables and win. There's just no build-up and sometimes the direction doesn't make sense at all. It's all very straight forward. Not much impact.

Most episodes are self-contained. There's no character development, no continuity or more of a bigger story being unravelled apart from the odd episode. Every couple of episodes it returns to a main plot but I doubt you'll care about it much.

Despite all that I guess your cliche troupe is fairly fun to watch. There are the odd episode with a bit of of sob story as to why some sorcerers turned evil like 5 (depending on how you look at it...), 6, 12, 14.

If you like your shows with a bit of fan service you might like this although a show like Strike The Blood at least tries to build up a good world view and story as silly as it is.

Music is good too I guess. Kenji Kawai best known for his music in many classics such as Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2, Patlabor and Fate/Stay Night series composed it. The OP is catchy enough for me to not skip it. Can't miss that silly looking rustle of the hair in the animation, lol.

I think it's one of those shows that is so silly it's good. The wrap-up is just as silly and just gives you mixed feelings.

The 3 part OVA on the other hand hasn't been toned down.

First part is full on fan service and uncensored nudity since it isn't inhibited by public broadcasting rulesy. It features the Sorcerer Hunters taking a break at a hot spring resort and introduces some of the characters from the original Manga. It also means it's very boring since it's your usual fan service with what little story the TV series had completely scrapped. Tira and Chocolat are in much more (ridiculously) revealing sadist outfits. Their transformations looked better in the TV series. Only the second part returns to its TV series roots so you won't miss anything by skipping the OVA. Well, maybe just a brief childhood flashback scene in part three.
