5.0 out of 5 stars Terriffic anime!!, July 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Master of Mosquiton 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am lucky and have managed to see the entire OAV series of this title. I must warn the viewer that there is a very dark tone to this series, and it ends on a dark note. Even so, this is an anime series not to be missed! On another note, there is a great deal of violence, and T&A, but it is all done tastefully, and is part of the plot, not just there.

Inaho&Mosquiton forever!

This review is from: Master of Mosquiton 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are many great animes that get passed over except for a select group of intense anime fans. This is definitely one of them (it is not even avaliable on DVD, only VHS).

Master of Mosquiton is the tale of the firey-haired and attituded Inaho, who is in search of the mysterious O-part that will make her immortal (and therefore young and beautiful forever). To aid her in her quest, she awakens the reluctant vampire (well, part-vampire) Mosquiton. Along with him comes two lackeys, the fire-breathing Hono and the icey and seductive Yuki. This vampire-comedy tells the tale of what happens to the four on their adventures inside of a giant pyramid.

This anime is so great for two reasons. First, the storyline is solid and interesting. Who ever thought that a vampire-romantic comedy could be so good? And unlike other vampire animes like Vampire Hunter D, there isn't much gore, and the focus is much more on comedy than scare tactics as Mosquiton, Hono and Yuki try to keep Inaho from falling into traps. This is the OAV version of the show (2 episodes per tape spread over 3 tapes), and although there is a televsion version called Master of Mosquiton '99, this has a much tighter and more interesting storyline.

Second, the voice actors are really talented. Mosquiton is voiced by the splendorific Koyasu Takehito, best known for roles such as Touga in Utena, Hotohori in Fushigi Yuugi, Kira in Angel Sanctuary, and Aya in Weiss Kreuz (among many others). Inaho's voice actress is Imai Yuka who has done various small parts such as Wakaba in Utena (typecasting?), Hono was voiced by Ueda Yuuji (Houjou-kun from Inuyasha, Daili from BGC 2040...), and Yuki's voice is Neya Michiko (Rally in Gunsmith Cats, many small rolls). With an experienced and versatile cast such as this, the strong storyline really comes alive. This is a definite buy for anyone who likes fun, unique comedy-adventure anime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I Expected and More, November 28, 2003

Any viewer who is a major fan of "Inuyasha" will definately love this. The relationship between the two main characters (Inaho and Mosquiton) is unbelievably similar to that of Kigome and Inuyasha. The movie's humor and use of sexual innuendo will make it enjoyable for all audiences (though some parents may not approve of the nudity which comes in an abundance in the second volume). One thing I must note to all who know nothing about these 3 volumes is that they're all 60 minutes long each, and they all consist of 2 episodes running 30 min. apiece rather than one movie running 60 minutes. However this does not take away from the plot as many would think, but rather helps enrich and intensify the plot to its final conclusion in the last volume. The many misadventures of Inaho and Mosquiton keep the viewer interested and is a must-see for any anime fan seeking a light-hearted anime with a slightly less-complicated plot than that of animes such as "Akira" or "Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade".
