 Those who hunt elves is one of the shows that started the new late night/twelve episode TV series format so popular in the last two years. It was, originally, a magna story by Yu Yagami and serialized in Electric Attack Comic GAO. The story begins in a fantasy world, where three people Airi, Ritsuko and Junpei, have been mysteriously teteported ( along with a type 74 tank). Since their presence could cause chaos in their world, the Elves decided to send them back. The ceremony is performed by the Elves' slightly psychotic leader,Celsia Marie Claire. The ceremony goes well , except that, at the last minute, Junpei's unflattering comments push Celsia over the edge. Her focus is lost and the incantation vanishes, separated in fragments, which the gang will have to find if they want to go back to their world. The only problem is that the fragments are etched on the skin of Elves, who may not want to submit to the scrutiny of our friends.

The character designs, by Keiji Goto, are cool (especially Pochi), the animation is simple, but nicely done and the soundtrack is not bad. The story, however, is quite something! It is deliciously chaotic and, although it often makes no sense at all, the viewer happily follows the bunch of morons in their quest.
