Where to Watch Those Who Hunt Elves in the US

The world-building is meticulous, but it's the characters who carry Those Who Hunt Elves through the more ambitious episodes. Martial Artist Junpei, actress Airi, and artillery-obsessed student Ritsuko all find themselves transported from Japan to a magical world. When the elven priestess Celcia casts the spell to send them home, she is interrupted, and the spell is broken into parts that scatter throughout the world. The spell fragments imprint themselves onto the bodies of various female elves so the trio must travel in search of them. Tomoko Kawakami and Motomu Kiyokawa lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (1996–1997), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Satisfying on multiple levels — something to enjoy on screen and something to think about after.
