Concept
Basic concept of the series is next to the Teasing -cheek mystery series like The X-Files, especially the not really demanding, but sometimes quite scathing humor. Particularly striking of these is in sometimes minute-long, filled with (mostly) friendly intentioned verbal taunts dialogues of the main characters and the often very creative links (eg, a Sphinx, a living statue, which stands around most like only in the area and speak only in riddles can ).
The series Buffy - The Vampire Slayer is ridiculed by established that behind all the legends figures, a real link connected - except behind vampires, to which Buffy is chiefly concerned, which were fictitious.
Setting

As the creators of the game and the producers could not agree on further cooperation or financial compensation, the producers decided to Special Unit 2 - adjust the monster hunter. Fanproteste against the setting of the series, there was little, which is why both parties also undertook no further attempt to approach or at least to film a worthy conclusion.
