The anime follows the traveling musical group "The Pussy Cats" are the hottest thing around. Lou, Kei and Sonya are three, sexy singers with a legion of screaming fans in every town. But these pussycats have claws. Singers by day, assassins by night, unbeknownst to their fans, The Pussy Cats are also The Midnight Panthers, female assassins who will kill anyone if the price is right. Their next target is a despotic king who rules by fear and crushes dissension with an iron fist. But for one of the Panthers, it's not just another job, it's personal. There aren't a lot of sex scenes, and thesex scenes there are are short and are there to push the plot forward. Looking back at them, they're pretty quaint considering the amount of high quality explicit porn that we have these days. There wasn't much in the way of hentai to see back when this was released in the mid 90s, so the few short sex scenes that Midnight Panther had to offer had to do. This series only technically counts as a hentai since the sex is explicit to some extent.

But on the other hand, this 2 episode OVA is actually pretty fun watch. The animation is actually pretty good, the action scenes are are fun to watch, the English dub is actually enjoyable to some degree, and all of the characters feel fleshed out, and even have some character development, which I'm pretty sure has to do with the fact that it's based on a 4-volume manga, where the characters and world have a lot more going on.

In fact, this anime reminded me of another favorite, Words Worth, and lo and behold, the director, script, and storyboard artist for this was Shigenori Kageyama, who also did the same on Words Worth, sans directing, along with Rinshin, who was the Animation Director, Character Designer, and Key Animator on that series, along with doing the art for the manga. So I guess if you like Word's Worth, this is probably worth checking out for you.

If you don't mind putting up with an occasional semi-explicit sex scene, I can recommend Midnight Panther as something that you could watch outside of it's wank material, which is rarity for a hentai series. I know that is not something that you would expect from your jerk off material, and it feels weird recommending a hentai for something other than it's intended use, but I'd still recommend Midnight Panther as a short fun watch.
