Another old title, but entertaining nonetheless. The series called Devil Hunter Yohko deals with demons, so it is a horror anime, but with its dose of comedy as well. Yohko Mano, depite her boy-crazy attitude, is a 16 year old girl who is the series protagonist. She becomes the 108th Devil Hunter of the Mano family, suceeding the 107th: her grandmother, Madoka. As a devil hunter, she is assigned to banishing demons that arise in the real world, among which is Tomika, the central adversary to the Mano family. It's difficult balancing her duties and her life, but she is assisted by her apprentice, Azusa.
Note that there are a few mature scenarios at times, so it's not for everyone. I do believe that nudity does occur here and there, so yeah, viewer discretion is advised. The PC engine and Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) had a game titled roughly as Devil Hunter Yohko: The Seven Bells, though it was only released in Japan. The anime itself is a 6-episode OAV, released in 1990 under ADV Films, and later re-released by them, to mark the tenth anniversary since its release, in 2002.
Not the greatest, but it had me on edge, despite being short. I think a 7 out of 10 should do this series justice.
