The episode introduces the villainous Count St. Germaine and hints at his master, Rasputin , though they are sometimes criticized as "evil fantasy stereotypes" with little initial development. Technical Highlights
The Italian dub is part of a legacy of localized releases that fans often seek out for nostalgia. The music is described as having a "good vibe," even if it doesn't always perfectly match the scene's tone. Critical Consensus Viewers note the animation is vibrant and energetic,
The episode features a mix of supernatural powers (fire and ice familiars) and a climatic battle where Mosquiton transforms into a "real" vampire to defeat Germaine, only to be promptly "killed" (turned to dust) by Inaho with a stake when he turns his attention toward her.
Reviews often highlight the "creepy" or "odd" power dynamic, as Mosquiton is essentially Inaho's slave, and she is frequently depicted as selfish, greedy, and prone to "b*tching" or throwing tantrums to get her way. For a look at the OVA's visual style
Most reviewers recommend the OVA over its later TV spinoff ( Master Mosquiton '99 ), citing more creativity and personality in the original six-episode run. While the plot can be "utterly bizarre" and the heroine frustrating, it is generally considered a decent "afternoon watch" for fans of 90s retro anime.
