ACF 488: Yozakura Quartet 2-disc DVD
Section23 Films has announced that Yozakura Quartet is now available in North America for the first time on DVD from Sentai Filmworks. Here's the skinny:
Yozakura Quartet Complete Collection is a two disc set containing all 12 episodes of the action series, which focuses on a band of super-powered teenagers banded together to protect their town from demon invaders. The anime is based on a long-running manga series published in the US by Del Rey Manga.
SYNOPSIS:
When Demons Walk the Streets, The Cops need to recruit More Demons! In a town where humans and demons co-exist, it takes more than a normal police force to maintain the peace. Enter the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office, a fantastic foursome of unique teenagers, each gifted with an amazing super power!
Since it sometimes takes real demon-fire to fight demon fire, the first three quarters of the team aren't exactly human: Ao, a cat-eared telepath; Kotoha, a half-human conjuror and Hime, descended from a dragon (and the town's acting mayor,) all of whom also happen to be delightfully female.
Rounding out the group is the token male and human, Akina, the office director and "Oyakume," capable of banishing spirits permanently (and from their point of view quite fatally) via a process called tuning.
