Come into my shop....
Count D owns a very special pet shop in Chinatown. He sells birds, cats, dogs, and... more unusual pets. If you choose one of the more special pets, you must sign a contract. Should you break the contract, the pet shop will not be responsible for anything unfortunate that might happen. But what could possibly go wrong! They're just pets- right?
This OVA is only 4 episodes long, and each the episodes stand alone. From mermaid to kirin, each story illustrates some folly of human nature. D is a mysterious and intriguing character, and Detective Orcot is an excellent balance to him. The English voices made me shudder, but the Japanese cast fit perfectly. The animation is a little old, but the art is pretty well represented.
I saw this OVA before I read any of the manga. I really liked it, but was frustrated that there wasn't more! But luckily the manga is 10 volumes long and there is a sequel series, ...
Why the hell isn't this longer!
The 4 episodes of this show are brilliant! Did the budget runout? Did they just discontinued it?!
The show is about a mysterious chinese guy called Count D who owns an unusual pet shop. We're not talking simple cats and dogs here. We're talking extremely rare, mythical, and exotic creatures that can only be described as supernatural. If you buy from Count D you sign a contract stating you will follow the rules behind caring for such creatures. Heaven forbid you go against the contract for any reason. Whats so interestng about this show is that the pets given to certain peaple manifest themselves into the owners inner demons or desires which often has disasterous results. Count D has this strange way of knowing his customers inner conflicts and choose the pets to give them by this means. Its very deep and once you think you know whats going on you're prooven wrong by Count D's knowledge of the mystery at hand.
The show looks great. It has a dark and ominous...
>_<
GAH!!!!! They really needed to complete this series. What the hell were they thinking not completing such a wonderful anime!!! This anime is wonderful and needs completing!!! It would be a disgrace not comepleteing it.
