Sorcerer on the Rocks


Starring:Satoru Akahori
Studio: Adv Films
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The title of this two-part OAV was changed from Chivas 1-2-3 for the U.S. release because of copyright issues. The slapstick sword-and-sorcery saga takes place on the Spooner Continent, the setting for Sorcerer Hunters, but the only link between the shows is screenwriter Hiroyuki Kawasaki. Shibas Scotch is a cloddish wizard-warrior, who travels with curvaceous "Sister of the Gold Cross" Gin Fizz; Kiss, an elfin werewolf; and Genmi, a junior warrior with a terminal crush on "Lord Shibas." To settle the debt Shibas owes the raucous Million Dollar, the quartet is forced to fight a monster that's either a god or an extremely advanced war robot. It all adds up to a very silly mock epic that overflows with "fan service" nudity. The OAV feels like a pilot for a series that remains unmade. Rated 15+: Nudity, violence, violence against women, sexual humor, alcohol and tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

5 out of 5 stars Yay!!.......2007-05-30

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

4 out of 5 stars The red light district!!.......2007-04-09

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!

4 out of 5 stars Waste product of a warped mind.......2005-01-05

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.

3 out of 5 stars Okay........2003-08-10

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.

4 out of 5 stars This can't be all... can it?.......2002-04-12

I'm going to name the goods and bads of this anime.
Goods: Its from the guys who did Sorcerer Hunters. This had a lot of SH type of humor and some connections to it(world-wise). The comedy is also pretty well done. Love that *beep* joke. No I'm not censoring myself. There is also somewhat of a similarity to Bastard in here in that Shibas and Dark Schneider are both perverted ... kickers.
Bads: TOO SHORT. There can't be just two episodes, can there? Can there? Plus I didn't approve of them ending it with such a hokey ending. Plus, there was actually some unnecessary nudity. Yes that's right, UNNECESSARY.

Other than that, this is a cool anime. If you can find it cheap, you won't be disappointed.

And to all you dissing it, why don't ya just remember its from SH's creators?! They like doing perverted, funny, cool stuff.
