Un beknownst to him, his life is saved by a princess of darkness who feeds him her blood immediately after the inncident.

Thank you very much, NeoSam.

Some other announcements.

1. I have opened up a thread to discuss the manga which can be accesed at the following link below:

2. Princess Resurrection should not be confused with Murder Princess which is another anime adapted from another manga serialized in a different magazine by a different manga-ka author.

3. Princess Resurrection will be a full TV season, though as of now it is uncertain if would be a 12/13 episodes or 24-26 episodes series.

I am very interested ... but I'd like it if GOTH were animated. I love shows like these.

I can't wait to watch the characters being animated and in full color.

The Princess's werecat eyes look menacing and creepy.

Hiro's big sister gets me the Mahoro vibes on that maid outfit.

And I seriously think that either they would tone down by lot the violence that is graphically depicted in the manga, or the broadcasters would go to insert the obnoxious black fog to cover those parts in the broadcast as it was done with Girls Bravo season one.

Don't hate me for being pedantic, but I think the 'ka' already means author or creator, so the use of the word 'author' after manga-ka is unnecessary.

Princess Resurrection will be a full TV season, though as of now it is uncertain if would be a 12/13 episodes or 24-26 episodes series.

You know what really freaks me out? Those occasional 23 episode shows... Like Ergo Proxy. It's just... wrong!

Looks like a pretty weak male lead again...Well, I haven't been reading the manga anyway, so I just assumed from the sketches.

"Weak"?

It may be the plot of the show, but for people who don't know the manga, you've robbed them of the surprise upon seeing the first death.

there is also a similar sounding show called murder princess that looks interesting.

It's listed as Kaibutsu Oujo, which means more or less Monster Princess
