Midnight Panther (1998– ) User Reviews

Save your time and money and go see another anime!

[6325 · 2/10 · 3 December 2001]

This is a rather silly japanese animation feature about 3 girls who travel with their mother in a carriage to lure men into sexual adventures. They turn into wild animals and kill their lovers after having sex with them. The setting is a middle age king and castle scenario. A lame mystery plot cannot help this boring anime feature, neither the erotic nor the mystery aspect of that film is satisfying and the characters are flat and annoying.

All in all: This movie is a pure waste of time (and money, if you'd be up to rent or buy it)

AniDB summary. :)

Based on the Best-Selling Comics From CPM Manga! The traveling musical group The Pussycats is the hottest thing around. Lou, Kei and Sonya are three, sexy singers with a legion of screaming fans in every town. But these pussycats have claws. Singers by day, assassins by night. Unbeknownst to their fans, The Pussy Cats are also The Midnight Panthers - female assassins who will kill anyone if the price is right! Their next target is a despotic king who rules by fear and crushes dissension with an iron fist. But for one of the Panthers, it's not just another job...it's personal.

This little movie has a decent story, people just need the patience to follow it.

Excellent!

This is one of my favorite hentais, because there are not to much sex scenes and it has a logical storyline!!!!!!YEAHH!!!(and its also really funny) Most hentais haven't a good storyline and its really annoying to see the characters a little bit talking to each other and after that they have sex and then they talk again and have sex again etc.., thats sooo boring without a good story!!!(and they aren't funny!!)

Oh and the most important thing is: The drawings are BEAUTIFUL! Its really rare to find such wonderful drawings in a hentai!!! And also the music or rather the special songs are really good! And a tip watch this hentai in Japanese, the English version is awful

A Japanese Version of Shakespeare

Believe it or not, Midnight Panther was scripted based on Shakespeare. A lot of viewers may watch this movie thinking it's a hentai and expect to see exciting sexual displays. In reality, the movie is a mix of comedy, hentai and an attempt to portrait a serious story, but unfortunately none of above was extremely successful.

Why would I give this move such high rating despite the below par contents? My appreciation came from the technical aspects of the movie. The drawing, the color, the transition and the directing are all first grade. Did you know this the first hentai anime showing pubic hair (Sonya), a bold challenge to the tradition. There are many other little things that director tried including smart usage of multi-layer cels to increase depth, wonderful usage of multi width pan cels to give the audience speed and continuity, very Hollywoodish.

This is a wonderful showcase of Japanese's ability to learn, adopt and create from the Western culture. Don't focus on the story and pay attention to the details, I am sure you will enjoy it.
