Just watched ep.1. It's not Bee Train's usual style at all. The graphics are not as good, the music is different. It feels more like Full Metal Achemist than Noir. So I'm not sure, the story is kinda weak, and the monsters looks pretty bad.

mist2123 · 2007-03-30, 06:43

i like the animation A+ and story for me look good

Srin Tuar · 2007-04-04, 20:32

Lol, okay that show was a mind trip.

I started off thinking this would be a mature adult show, then it looked like i was wrong. Looking at the character design etc, it seem to be clearly a show for little kids.

Then, looking at all the blood and violence, I was thinking that there is no way this is a kids show....

So it the extreme violence of something like speed grapher, combined with the plot sophistication of spider riders. Yay.

mampf · 2007-04-05, 12:01

I just finished watching the sub and must admit: That was pretty damn awesome!
It was stupid alright, but had me grinning

I really liked the character design choices and the kickass attitude of the main character. Let's see how they continue the madness

I wonder why the fansub group Ayako had no better idea than to release this in 1024x576 format, which runs pretty much messed up on my PC. I knew this was going to happen, but I downloaded it to see if it could be watchable anyways. But no, it runs too unsynchronized.

Please, if anyone from Ayako is reading this, would you care to release a lower resolution file? Thanks in advance.

I thought of Monty Python's Holy Grail at the throneroom fight. I could just picture that robot saying "come back and fight! It's only a circuit wound!"

Spoiler for Episode 1 - discussion of premise, character judgments:

@ WanderingKnight: If I wasn't home for spring break using a really good computer I'd be having the same problem with you, so allow me to second that. Sometimes higher video quality is just too much, unfortunately. x.x

WanderingKnight · 2007-04-05, 17:14

Well, I could finally play it decently after a couple of good advices.

The show has WTF written all over it. It uses a childish plot and childish imagery and fills it with non-childish violence and gore. It's only good for a couple of laughs and enjoying a bit the action scenes, nothing more.

The shame is that the princess in murdering mode doesn't look at all like the promotional image they used

jedinat · 2007-04-05, 17:22

I read a few chapters of the manga a while back... it was high energy action silliness. Seems they added some drama and toned down the humor in the anime, which I guess is okay, but not really what I was expecting. I enjoyed it at least, if only because I'm anticipating an interesting next episode. (hoping for some comic abuse of her newfound power as princess)

syniel · 2007-04-05, 17:58

I have to agree wholeheartedly with the WTF rating xD

Very implausable but highly entertaining

I give it a thumbs up for camp value ^

It works great for me, an excellent high def fansub release.

I showed the ayako fansubbed version to some people and they are hooked. The high grade WTF this show exudes apparently exceeds any misgivings about the plot or art.

So it looks like I'll be following this.

Keep in mind that this is OVA! No weekly episodes to follow

lommm · 2007-04-05, 20:13

yeah, about ayako's hd release... it's weird because i watched all of pumpkkin scissors and some of ergo proxy that way. plus 5cm and the place promised.... and now the romeo x juliet hd raw that came out. all of those worked fine.

but the hd releases that came out early on of le chevalier d'eon ran all choppy on mine. and now the same with the ayako release of murder princess. i went and checked the others i listed and there was still no problem, so i hadn't changed anything.

i don't get it.

oh well, ayako released an avi.

aroduc · 2007-04-05, 20:35

I actually enjoyed it a lot too, though it slipped under my radar until the sub came out.

Kinda low quality for an OVA, but I can't complain that much because I did enjoy it overall. Too bad it's a month before the next one.

Have some cappage

FlareKnight · 2007-04-06, 00:03

Very strange I have to say, I came in expecting it to be a really serious show. Which is somewhat was for a while there with the King dying, knights dying, just a lot of dying. Then wham they get a body switch on you, go back and rescue the kingdom all in one episode. I was thinking this was going to be something like the princess would run into these guys gain confidence and lead a violent army to retake the kingdom....nope.

Definately interesting though, should be fun to see what they do with this. Maybe we'll get our bounty hunter turned princess conquering some countries. But I'll just wait and see.

HikariKaZe · 2007-04-06, 00:31

Sighs.. Only 6 episodes? Is there the non-OVA version of this anime?

Boohahaha · 2007-04-06, 02:13

I did not realise there was an anime version of this out so soon, since I only bought the manga yesterday.

It was a good show, although I am leaning more towards the manga mainly because it was more funny. At this point in time the first episode of the OVA is about half away into the first volume of the Manga.

The english version of the manga is realeased by Broccolibooks this week.

Devastator Senior Member Join Date: May 2006	Spoiler: From what I know, with my limited knowledge of Japanese and the manga, I 'think' the actual girl named Milano in the OVA is a made up character. That scene in the beginning, where Princess Alita went to see her father is also made up, as far as I know (I've yet to see that in the manga). In the manga, the original princess had already started running from the castle while Jodoh tried to buy her time. Alita assumed the name Milano Entrasia upon returning to the castle. Whereas Faris / Pharis assumed Princess Alita's position and name. So... if there was ever a real Milano Entrasia in the manga, I guess it's safe to assume she's dead.

myopius Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006	Spoiler for Episode 1 - discussion of premise, character judgments: Yeah, I expected it to be more adult-focused, then I noticed the script was largely cliched and the aren't-we-adorable combats lolis... (The title "Murder" makes you think they're aiming for seriousness, since murder connotates a serious judgment of the act of killing another person (note to self: people who don't speak English aren't experts on which English word are most appropriate), and the premise about a princess having to run away makes you think they'll be going for the emo tragedy theme, but nope.) And the fact that the two main characters are the somewhat comically shy princess-turned-maid who will probably learn from the other main character that she should and can act on her own principles more, and the other is the somewhat reckless warrior type with an energetic personality who may learn to be more kind or learn the joys of helping others or something through the course of the series. Yep, the usual two opposites who learn from each other deal. Oh yeah, and the goofy mascot character types, the warrior-turned-princess's sidekicks (especially the short one).... However somehow the art and character designs really appeal to me. And even though it's not strictly original I'm interested to see these types of situations, where people switch roles in a violently dramatic fashion while keeping it a secret and occasionally engaging in comic hijinx while also learning from their experiences. What I imagine I will like least is the villain, who seems totally cliched (the know-it-all-type who lurks in the background and engages in endless commentary, you totally know what I'm talking about). At least she has some kind of Darth Vader-like henchmen so you don't have to feel awkward knowing she's talking to herself. @ WanderingKnight: If I wasn't home for spring break using a really good computer I'd be having the same problem with you, so allow me to second that.
