Review: Shikabana Hime (Corpse Princess)

"After being brutally murdered along with her family, Makina Hoshimura turns into a Shikabane Hime, a living corpse contracted to the Kougon Sect, in order to exert revenge on the mysterious undead organization responsible for her death. She is assisted in this task by Keisei Tagami, her contracted Monk and former friend. This series follows the story of Keisei's younger brother Ouri, a boy with an unusual attraction to death, who slowly discovers his brother's secret and gets dragged into the world of the Shikabanes."


The other day, a buddy of mine and I decided to watch this series.  It was a terrific anime overall, and was even worth watching dubbed.  The action scenes were great, the comedy was well timed, and the overall animation and story line were done very well.  This is an anime I would definitely recommend to anyone who was looking for some action.

Though the show itself is great, I do have one little complaint... WHERE'S THE EFFING ENDING!?!?!?  Without going too much into what happens and giving anything away, the show basically leaves you hanging in the middle of what could have turned out to be one of the most epic battles in the series.  So if you have a problem with a couple loose ends (From what I can tell, this show only had one loose end), then you may want to take that into consideration before you watch.
