YMMV / Those Who Hunt Elves

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Premise: A group of Japanese people venture through a High Fantasy world, searching for a way to return home... and must strip all the elves they meet so they can find what they need to do so. Obviously it is very hard to explain this series' High Concept without insisting that it's not a pornographic anime (or even that full of fanservice), even on this very wiki.
  • Designated Villain: In some episodes, the antagonists elves are portrayed as villains merely for not wanting to be stripped against their will.
  • Moment of Awesome: Near the end of the Mold arc, when Dawn ordered everyone to look for the protagonists, holding up a picture of Junpei, saying he might be right behind them, guess who shows up right behind her... Also counts as a Funny Moment.
    Dawn: Two billion people, mocking me at once?!
  • Misaimed Fandom: Virtually everyone who tuned in for the Fanservice. It's actually a High Fantasy comedy.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Season 1's director Kazuyoshi Katayama, would later go on to co-create The Big O.
    • Luci Christian got her start on this show voicing Colleena from episode 9 as well as a waitress in another episode.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The English dub has episodes 5-13 voice directed by the infamous Steven Foster note  and as a result, the episodes were crammed full of late 90s/early 2000s pop-culture references, including Backstreet Boys and CĂ©line Dion as well as advertising slogans that were popular at the time but have since been forgotten.
