Undead Girl Murder Farce anime announced

Synopsis

Quote:

“Demons…” Not a single one of hell’s messengers possesses a life that cannot be stolen away. Not even the immortal “vampire,” nor the lifeless “undead.” The murder of the vampire bride will finally be solved! After that, the stage will shift to a magical city, teeming with phantom thieves and mysterious folk... London!

Buried the lead here - it's directed by Hatakeyama Mamoru, one of the very best in the business.

This seems like a crazy hodgepodge of Gothic Victorian Supernatural and Phantom Thieve genres

Didn't see anyone update this. New trailer is out a few days ago. Release date is July 5.

Apparently, a lot of literary characters are in there as well such as Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Professor Moriarty, Frankenstein, Arsene Lupin, Phantom of the Opera, and Carmilla. There's also Aleister Crowley and Jack the Ripper.

Looks like they're mixing a ton of stuff. Result should be interesting.

Marcus H. · 2023-06-16, 07:45

Oh, so it's a detective-led series... and we also have Holmes, Watson and Moriarty for good measure. This will be fun.

Despite the very flamboyant designs we see in the OP (which are kinda not my sitch, I dislike the "Look at me, I'm so kewl!" <guitar riff> style of shows), the story so far is more down to earth than I was expecting and quite well told. Not many sympathetic characters to be found, for sure, but interesting ones at least. The cinematography also is quite well done. Probably a pick-up. The OP is pretty rocking, too.

Kanon · 2023-07-05, 18:05

I enjoyed this quite a bit, and am curious to see where it goes. Refreshing to see a laid-back adult MC given the kind I've had to tolerate so far this season.

They didn't outright say it but it's obvious the villain is Moriarty.

Master_Yoma · 2023-07-05, 20:50

Well that some set up a guy who fight yokai and a maid that knows how to use that bayonet and to top it off a disembodied head in a birdcage

Alchemist007 · 2023-07-05, 21:36

Neat sort of premise, will see where it goes.

grecefar · 2023-07-05, 22:21

I did like their chat, it was entertaining.

Ragashingo · 2023-07-05, 22:35

Yeah, this was intriguing. Loved how they continually played with the visuals during the long talking segment at the end.

Guardian Enzo · 2023-07-05, 22:57

I’ve said it a million times, the most important figure with an adaptation is the director. This series has one of the best.

Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is up to the viewer. But yeah, the dialogue feels a bit stiff and excessively formal. I guess that's meant to convey how old she is, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the cast.

SeijiSensei · 2023-07-06, 11:05

Wonder what it cost to travel from Tokyo to London in 1898? I assume it would involve a ship rather than overland through Russia.

Nachtwandler · 2023-07-06, 15:19

THe direction andvoice acting were pretty good here. I will definetly check it out.

Blaat · 2023-07-07, 11:49

Directing and voice acting really made this dialogue heavy episode enjoyable to watch.

Trans-Siberian Railway was still under construction so they'll definitely go by boat.

Kanon · 2023-07-12, 16:58

I was surprised the case wasn't solved in the episode. Are they aiming for two cours?

Anyway, that was pretty good. The main cast have already made a name for themselves as detectives. So, any guess who the culprit is? Clues seem to indicate it's a vampire.

Alchemist007 · 2023-07-12, 17:14

I like the synergy with the trio, should be a good cour at least.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: Premise was interesting enough and the protagonist talking like an actor was nice, but there just felt some things were off. I think the lines, especially the girl's, was a bit... What do you call them... Kinda like Tantei is Dead? Where the characters talk in a way that I guess is supposed to make them smart but is so unnatural I don't see anyone talking like it? I kinda felt that from the script. I had to double-check this wasn't written by the Bakemonogatari guy. Also despite the youkais and detective stuff and acting, the OP comes off as some Shounen battle thing. Also the song sucks. ED was good though. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P. Hiroshi Yamauchi, Gaming wouldn't have been the same without you (9/19/13)
