Story:
Well, it's your standard magical girl story. Yohko is destined to become Devil Hunter, is reluctant, has to fight, accepts her fate and keeps on fighting. Sure, this anime is over 25 years old, but it wasn't revolutionary back then either. But hey, I still prefer a solid, unoriginal story over a creative mess that falls flat and DHY is very solid. Being an OVA series that ran 6 episodes over 5 years, every episode pretty much stands for itself. All of them were entertaining, with exception of episode 4, which wasn't an episode but a music video compilation. Why would you release that as an official episode?
6/10
Art:
For 1990, this isn't bad. If I have a problem, it's that in 5 years, it didn't improve at all. The final episode looked really, really ugly compared to the others. In general however, I thought it looked good. Oh, and it had nipples. Tons of nipples.
7/10
Sound:
Voice acting was pretty good, especially Yohko. The grannys voice irritated me a little, cause it sounded kinda male. The outro songs were more creative than many that we get today, so that's a plus too. The background music and sound effects sound very 90s, but well, they ARE from the 90s.
8/10
Characters:
Well, what can I really say? The main character felt a little fresh to me, as she is not whiny at all and is pretty serious about the fighting. All this while still being boy-crazy. Accentuation on crazy. In the first episode she hops right into bed with a guy she didn't care about before, only cause he wore some shades and told her to accept his dick. I gotta try this one day. Azusa is a funny sidekick, thankfully not in an obnoxious way. Granny Madoka is a cool mentor without being too serious. The rest of the cast was very meh, but I can live with that.
7/10
Enjoyment:
I liked Devil Hunter Yohko. With only 6...er, I mean 5 episodes, it doesn't get boring. The characters were likeable, the animation nice and the stories were solid. If you're searching for a "classic" anime from before the moe era, you might want to give this a try (after you watched all the REAL classics). It certainly is a breath of fresh air if you're tired of Sword Art Online no. 68 or K-On! no. 392. Only the final episode disappointed a little. It looked like they didn't really care anymore at this point.
