Sorcerer on the Rocks
The title of this two-part OAV was changed fromChivas 1-2-3for the U.S.  release because of copyright issues. The slapstick sword-and-sorcery saga  takes place on the Spooner Continent, the setting forSorcerer 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
