Editorial Reviews

These two short episodes rank among the silliest anime series of all time. Years ago, a king sent his greatest knight, Ruth the Great Red Lightning Bolt, to slay a dragon; but instead of killing her, the warrior married her. Mink is the result of that union: a scantily clad redhead with horns, wings, and a short tail. (Although she commands an array of super powers, Mink didn't inherit brains from either parent.) In "Mink's Voyage" the lecherous king sends his top warriors to slay Ruth so he can marry the curvaceous dragon himself, but Mink clobbers all of them. She enters a no-holds-barred contest, hoping to win the plane fare to pop star Dick Saucer's next concert in "The Brutal, Killer Martial Arts Tournament." Mink triumphs, defeating a demon who "doesn't care about story continuity." Rated 15 Up: Violence, profanity, nudity. --Charles Solomon

Okay I've seen Slayers, Ranma, and many other fluffy animes and what do I come across. Possibly the funniest anime ever released. And like another one of my favorite animes there is a VERY limited selection of tapes. In fact this is the only tape in the series. But there is a selection of magna available but it is not, however, in English. Oh and for the record you should be warned this is a slapstick comedy type show it is not serious. In fact its less serious and more funny than the best Slayers. BUT IT CONTAINS NO PLOT AT ALL. Just warning the people that think that a show requires a plot. But all in all the funniest anime ever released ever. And I mean ever.

I saw this a few months ago, and it's really what got me started liking anime. The animation is great; it switches from two different types to fit the characters. The characters themselves are hysterical. This anime was based on a manga, which was funny too. Mink, the main character, the dragon half, has a crush on pop star Dick Saucer, which is a problem because Dick is a dragon slayer. He is also pretty much an idiot. He goes around singing his theme song, which is his name, over and over. But watch out for Damaramu, the funniest character. I was in stitches when I saw this. It is definately not a waste of money, so if no one can lend it to you, buy it

5.0 out of 5 stars "SAUCER!!", October 17, 1999

A total delight! This anime was truly funny. Who could go wrong with an anime that has laughable characters, humorous dialouge, and a bit of satire. My friend showed me this video and I get stop thinking of how funny it is! Just remember, "Saucer!!".
