Petshop of Horrors is an anime adaptation to the horror themed manga made by Matsuri Akino. The story stages at ChinaTown located in Los Angeles California. In this area a very peculiar petshop is found owned by a mysterious individual named Count D. The pets being sold in this petshop are bizarre creature that somewhat similar to humans or a humanoid. Count D Sells these "pets" along with a contract which usually differ by the type of pet his customer orders. The most important among the 3 points in the contract is to avoid Showing the "Pet" To someone other than the buyer it self. The series has a total of 4 episodes. Each episode is a stand alone episode that contains a new story and new pet that was bought. The main characters are the same through out the series but there are new characters added just like the clients.
This anime is really short but super interesting. For me i cant really consider this anime as a horror anime since im looking at this as a sci/fi fantasy type of anime ( just my opinion ). At the onset of the series they throw in a really big surprise. Even if the animation is a bit dull and old, the story otherwise is rich in ideas. i believe that the horror side of this story, are the humanoid being sold by Count D. Even if the episodes of this anime differs from the other, it is really worth the watch.
I'll rate this anime 9/10 4 episodes? Really? I Want More!!!
