Get ready for magical mayhem! First there was Sorcerer Hunters, the hit fantasy series that flew off the shelves. Now, from the same creator, Satoru Akahori, ADV Films brings you Sorcerer on the Rocks, a stand-alone story with even more of the things that made Sorcerer Hunters a hit. More scantily clad women and more fast-paced swords and sorcery action.

Yay!!

I can't believe someone actually had this DVD, it is absolutely wonderful! I'm so happy to finally have it!

Waste product of a warped mind

Sorcerer on The Rocks isn't for those of you who happen to take offense to a lot of things. it's totally irreverent to almost any of the traditional fantasy mythos. As advertised, the hero, Shibas Scotch, is a jackass. If you're into rude humor he's your new hero. Gin Fizz is more of a target for all of Shibas's disgruntled nature than anything else, Kiss is just fanservice, and Gembi is just there because let's face it, Shibas needed SOMEONE to beat up on.

Plenty of fanservice nudity, nobody's denying that, but they don't give it credit for being funny. Sure there are some objectionble bits (assuming you have morals at all) but they're mostly small things like Shibas smoking, or a lengthy sight gag concerning the Red Light District in town.

If you're the irreverent sort, I'd highly recommend this one. If you're the kind of person who deeply supports the MPAA's oversensitive ratings scale, then don't bother, you'll just be offended.

The red light district!!

I saw these a long time ago and enjoyed them then. I still do. It's actually kinda fun and the whole business with the red light district and Chivas and the Nun (I can never remember her name) having the intial same response, and then he grins and she wilts. I love it.

Tongue in cheek!

Okay.

It's good enough to watch once, but I can't picture watching it more than a couple of times. There were a couple of times I thought "hey this part is funny" but for the most part it wasn't very amusing. If they ever do have any more I probably would rent them.

Eh.

I remembered it being more funny than it actually was. I watched this for the first time with my friend years ago, and in a fit of nostalgia decided to buy it again.

Honestly, with so few episodes on it it's not worth all that much unless you're a fan of the Sorcerer Hunters universe and just want a little more fan-stuff. I think you MIGHT crack a smile once or twice (if you're over the age of 15--anything under and I would assume you'd laugh like crazy) but otherwise, don't get your hopes up.

Spec-wise, the animation is rather clean and there weren't too many issues with it. It certainly does leave you wondering what will happen (unfortunate, as this is the only DVD ever made for this particular storyline)
