Product Description

Makina Hoshino is already dead, but she can't let go of this twisted world. She burned to death along with her entire family in a fire started by freaks that wouldn't stay buried. Makina knows she doesn't belong among the living, but that won't stop her from unleashing the full fury of her twin MAC-11 machine guns on the rotting remains of those who refuse to die. She's hell-bent on filling every empty grave she can find with the monsters that should be six feet under. Makina is a Shikabane Hime (a Corpse Princess) and it's her job to finish off the undead leftovers haunting the dark corners of a city that used to be safe.

Again good but BEWARE no END in sight
As expected; been waiting 3 years for Netflix to send second season; no hope and boughtthis to finish seeing it: UNFORTUNATELY like many videos and books THERE IS ANOPEN ENDING...THAT IS: "to be continued" is the last line right before an OVA typerevealing of an old character's past; would have preferred 2 more disks and the ENDof this series...THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE SET: THEY STILL NEED TO FINISH IT!!!Other wise this is true to the first season, characters, voices and Animation are good;worth buying BUT expect no end in sight.The video is good but, unlike other "NR" rated shows this is full of teases: you see many women suggestively dressedapparently without panties but never a straight view to confirm it... basically an "R" film. Some like teasing but it's distracting from the story since it's never revealed and you wait for a view that never comes.UPDATE: I accidently found the only pic up a girl's skirt here... but I dare not show the complete pic; 2nd volume, 30min, 14 seconds our one armed heroine is crouching apparently wearing a thong since a rear view only shows her butt cheeks. Use my pic to find this in the show. LOL

I am not a teen or 30 something, just saying. I enjoy some anime but it must have well developed characters ( that don't do that open mouthed yell thing much) and some semblance of a plot. This show had both. I found myself interested in the characters and trying to figure out connections and motivations. There was no sex and very little cursing, ( if you need that to make your show, then you lack a plot). At the end of the show, I found myself wondering if there wasn't more out there that was not in this set. The only real drawbacks I found were at least two or three shows were dedicated to nothing but flashbacks of previous episodes. Other then that I would recommend it for anyone over 12, ( yes there are gratuitousness boob shots, it is anime after all)

Highly recommend this series, also the S.A.V.E is an awesome price for an anime that is seriously overpriced anywhere else. Stay away from Funimation though, they are getting worse every year, but their old stuff is still good. This is an awesome series.

This show has almost everything that is required, for what should be considered a good anime. The show provides a generalized understanding as to the idea behind the main story as it begins. The dead walk, but they only want one thing. Human flesh!!! Only one thing can stop these beings. Shikibane Hime. These women are looked down upon by their superiors, those from the Kogan Sect. Monks are provided one per partner, better known as a "contracted monk". Each monk becomes intuned spiritually with their Shikibane Hime and provides "rune" or life essence whenever they are injured. The Shikibane Hime are indestructible, unless there monk is killed.

Only recently dead young women can become the saviors of mankind. The story transgresses as the plot unfolds, new characters are introduced, new enemies appear as well.

The main problem with this entire series is that there is no ending, the audience or viewers are left hanging, with no idea how it ends.

I strongly recommend this if you enjoy good graphics, bad ass fight scenes, semi-strong plot and the new concept about death and how it is used in this particular show.
Just don,t expect an ending

I went through this set in less than a week, often watching a disc a day, which is a reflection of the program's entertainment value. I'm a "Ghost in The Shell" fan and enjoy programs that fall along those lines. I found this set to have pretty good video quality for standard DVD. The only tiresome item was that "Shikabane Hime" must have been said dozens of times each episode...at least it seemed that way. Good dub, good story line. No weird Japanese ending. Any anime fan should really like this one.

An anime I've loved for years, so hey, why not own it on Blu-Ray forever? Plenty of action and funny moments, but it gets into some really dark themes and tragic backstories that make you wish some of the villains didn't have to die.

I have wanted this Anime since the first time i saw it but never had the money to do so until it arrived in its S.A.V.E. format. An amazing storyline, characters, action everything! This is a must have for any Anime fan (least in my opinion) as it has everything u want for a violent action thriller and more! You can not go wrong with this one!

Dear Reader,
I loved this series! The anime was good as I remember the first season. The thing I would advise is not to ship a twenty-five pound bag of rabbit food with this though the disks weren't harmed so the case did a great job of protecting them. The thing can say is that I wished this series had another season, or a movie,
Sincerely,
Spiral

3.0 out of 5 stars No resultó ser lo que esperaba
Reviewed in Mexico on December 4, 2022
Pues la historia aparte de no tener nada de original es para mi bastante aburrida, tiene buenas escenas de acción pero sólo éso, como dice en otros comentarios terminas detestando al protagonista, para resumir, vi los avances, pensé qué me iba a gustar...me equivoque jaja, pero en fin esa es solo mi opinión, si eres fan de estudio gainax a lo mejor te llame la atención, en mi caso es de lo peor que eh visto de gainax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to watch !
Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2017
I think it was a nice and addictive anime. The main character is annoying, I wish Hori died, but we have to endure him for the whole series. The whole point of it is to watch Makina kills tons of Shikabane. I think they finished the story too fast I wanted to know it would end. But at least it has an end (unlike Naruto who refuse to come to an end until recently

内容的にはダーク系バトルモノです。
キャラクターのバリエーションもあり面白いのですが、
主人公とヒロインの声優が新人さん(今はベテランですが)で下手過ぎて辛いです。
そういう部分で人を選びます。

4.0 out of 5 stars レギュラーキャラでもサクサク死んで行っちゃう作品…物語展開は面白いけど未完END《国内版プレイヤーで再生OK》
Reviewed in Japan on May 16, 2018
『屍姫』の北米版です(私が購入したのはSAVE版)。
商品パッケージと各ディスクに《リージョン1,2,4-NTSC-》の印がありますので、普通に一般的な国内プレイヤーで再生出来ます(私の再生環境は数年前のSONYの最廉価プレイヤー『BDR-S1200』)。
タイトルで日本語音声と字幕/OFFを選択すれば、国内版同様に本編を鑑賞する事が出来ます。
なお、SAVEの黄色い帯のデザインが嫌いな方でも安心のリバーシフルジャケット仕様です。
映像特典はノンクレジットOPとEDです。

原作未読ですが、死をテーマにした和風アクション良作です。…が、最後が無茶苦茶中途半端な所で終わっちゃいます。
あまりにも唐突過ぎるエンディングに、私などは理解が追い付かない程でした。
なので、未完という事を踏まえて購入の是非を決められるべきでしょう。
