Count D, a quite interesting pet shop owner from an area called Chinatown, sells rare and hard to come by pets to people longing for something special, but with each sale comes a contract. If the rules of the contract are followed, everything goes fine, but if someone should break the rules of the contract, the pet shop cannot be held responsible for anything unfortunate that might happen. Leon Orcot, a homicide detective, has linked many odd and unexplainable deaths together; they all were customers of Count D's pet shop, and he intends to find out why.

Where it came from
Petshop of Horrors was produced by Studio Madhouse in 1999 as a four-part original video animation series, based on the supernatural manga by Matsuri Akino. The series was created during a notable period for the studio, reflecting a growing interest in dark, atmospheric storytelling that blended gothic horror aesthetics with social commentary. It follows the enigmatic Count D, who operates an exotic pet shop in Los Angeles, offering customers companions that come with mysterious, often moralistic consequences.
The character designs and animation direction sought to translate Akino's detailed, ornate manga style into a cinematic format, emphasizing a moody, Victorian-inspired visual language. Upon its release, the series was well-received by audiences for its unique anthology structure and the psychological depth of its vignettes. It remains a cult classic in the anime genre, recognized for its exploration of human greed and the ethical complexities of the bond between humans and animals.
