Hey. That was pretty good for a 6 episode series.

It was decent. I enjoyed it. I saw it fansubbed awhile back and purchased it as soon as it was released. Despite being a niche title I'm glad that it was picked up for release here. Smile

Murder Princess is so terribly underrated. It's a brilliant diamond in the endless coal fields of shonen mediocrity and endless pointless series.

I watched this before. I really enjoyed it. Although it is only 6 episodes, it felt a lot longer.

Brilliant? That's a bit of a stretch. The plot is cliche and predictable, the characters have little depth, and the character designs are fanservice-filled pandering.

I agree that It is quite fun, though. The action scenes usually have a good energy too them, and the characters are something nice to look at (either pretty or weird, depending). It's a nice bit of mindless fun, if somewhat shallow.

Good to see this on the site as I liked the show quite a bit. It was a short but fun title. The only thing it could have done better was spoiler[if there was more. They never get switched back.]

Really? I thought it better than the shelf life review, but seriously, the best thing this title has going for it is an intriguing world and characters for building fan fiction. Not bad, but really not that good either.

Sad thing is that Bee Train pretty much adapted faithfully all the available material as well; spoiler[even the manga was left with those two never getting switched back.]
