Petshop of Horrors (1999)Set in a decadent, urban-noir Chinatown, "Petshop of Horrors" follows the ethereal and enigmatic Count D, a boutique owner who sells rare, supernatural creatures that often appear human to those who purchase them. Each sale comes with a strict three-rule contract that if broken, leads to gruesome and often fatal consequences for the owner, sparking a cat-and-mouse game between the Count and homicide detective Leon Orcot. The series encapsulates the aesthetic of late-90s "dark josei" and gothic horror, defined by Count D’s androgynous elegance and his highly detailed silk robes, a focus on the tragic aspects of horror rather than shock, and a surreal art direction.....#90sanimefashion #petshopofhorrors #matsuriakino #madhouseanimation #90sanime
