Trivia:

This video was produced at the same time as a Mega-CD (the Japanese Sega-CD) game of the same name (and starring the same character) as a special way to promote the game. The character of Yohko had already existed for a couple of years as a PC game character, but the Mega-CD game was the only other game to ever feature her. The anime, on the other hand, became so popular that it spawned several direct-to-video sequels.

Goofs:

Continuity: During the scene with the clock tower (just after Yohko learns she's a Devil Hunter), the number of numerals on the clock's face shifts between 12 (I-XII) and 13 (I-XIII) between shots.
