Otakus & Geeks Essential Anime Episode 31: Pet Shop of Horrors

By Justin D Wiliams

This Pet Shop of Horrors complete collection contains OVA episodes 1-4. Seeking something unusual in a pet? A new companion to fill an empty space in your heart? Then come visit the strangest pet shop in Chinatown, where the mysterious Count D seems to know your every need and desire. But watch out - buying a pet is a contract for life, and when you buy from the Count, the pet you get may be the one you deserve rather than the one you want. Even if that rare rabbit does somehow look just like your lost child, perhaps you'd be safer buying a puppy from a different establishment. At least, that's what Detective Orcott of the LAPD suspects, as nightmarish things have happened to many of the shop's customers. And yet, evidence directly implicating the Count always comes up lacking. But then, who would know how to play the game of cat-and-mouse better than the master of the Pet Shop of Horrors?
