Midnight Panther

By day, The Pussy Cats, singing, performing, and winning over crowds, spend their days as a popular musical act traveling a post-apocalyptic fantasy world. Then night falls, and they become the Midnight Panthers, a team of assassins who take contracts on dangerous targets. It's a genuinely fun setup: the same women who had fans screaming for encores are now slipping past palace guards with very different intentions. Each of them brings something distinct to the work, Sonya can weaponize her own hair, Kei shapeshifts into a leopard, and their mysterious manager coordinates the whole operation from the shadows. The two-episode OVA kicks off with a contract to take down a tyrannical king, which gives the story just enough political texture to feel grounded before things get wild. Being a 1998 Arms production, this sits firmly in hentai territory, so the erotic content is upfront and frequent: don't go in expecting it to be incidental. If you've spent time with late-90s titles like La Blue Girl or Cool Devices, you already know the aesthetic: hand-drawn action, fantasy worldbuilding used as backdrop rather than focus, and a tone that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's short, it's pulpy, and the assassin-by-night premise has more personality than you'd expect from something this compact. Two episodes means it doesn't overstay its welcome.
