This quirky 1999 fantasy-adventure--a manga adaptation of a Chinese ghost story--zigzags along its erratic but intriguing path in the second collection of episodes. Disciple-in-training Taikoubou acquires two new allies in his campaign to imprison the souls of the demons who are wreaking havoc in the kingdom of Yin: Raishinshi, the winged 100th son of the virtuous Lord Ki Shou, and fellow disciple Youzen. Borrowing a martial arts technique from Jackie Chan, Taikoubou gets drunk to defeat the formidable Raishinshi in a test match. As unlikely a hero as Tenchi or Akito in Nadesico, Taikoubou comes through in a pinch. Meanwhile the schemes of the demon Dakki darken. Having seduced the Emperor Zhou, she causes Empress Kyouchi and her virtuous attendants to commit suicide. Enraged, Emperor Zhou's loyal retainer Kuo Hiko revolts--and saves the emperor's sons from Dakki's clutches. Rated 13 Up: Violence, minor profanity. --Charles Solomon
Description
The honorable Bunchu and Kou Hiko must do their best to thwart Dakki, the immortal who has bewitched their beloved Emperor. Not satisfied with her defeat of the Four Great Lords, the evil temptress has her sights set on the Empress and her sons, the heirs to the throne! The two will have to use all their cunning to keep the Yin Dynasty alive and their own heads attached to their shoulders. Now faced with the imminent collapse of law and order in the realm, what does the valiant immortal Taikoubou do? He gets roaring drunk, of course! Project Soul Hunt is turning out to be far more difficult than expected, and if Taikoubou's "allies" don't manage to tear him apart, there are plenty of evil immortals ready to finish the job. Soul Hunter is based on one of China's most popular novels and an incredibly successful Japanese comic book.

 Great series July 29, 2002

Funny, exciting. I wanted to wait, figuring they'd do a complete set, but I just couldn't wait to see what happened next. Raishinshi & Youzen join Taikoubou & Kou Hiko gets a taste of Dakki's evil in spades as the demon takes out his family & the Empress. This is a very funny series, yet it manages to keep one interested in the next show with abrupt cliff-hanger endings. Youzen & his doggie are almost as cool as Shinkohyo & his kitty & both are of the exceptionally calm types of which all anime seems to have one or two of. Raishinshi can be brash & annoying.
 Where's Ryogaku?! Chou Kou Mei?! Bagen?! September 8, 2003

I do so enjoy the adaption of this story but the anime was increadably condenced from the manga. It seems half of what it could have been though they did pretty well for only having 26 episodes. Chou Kei, Roushi, Nentou, Ou Tenkun.. Just some of the great characters who made the manga great have been axed. I would say this dvd in particular shows as a good introduction to the series and lets you get a small taste of the real story.
