Your Feelings Categories Jan 22, 2008
I felt this series could have been much better. There was a lot of potential to have good character development and an interesting story, but six episodes just didn't do it. The synopsis of the series sounded compelling, but the "magical accident" is little more than a one-line myth designed to explain away something the writers clearly couldn't think of a better reason for. The same with the story between Cesilia and Falis. The connection between the two is weak and cliche...which is something I found myself saying about the plot in general as well. It was very predictable.

Murder Princess is a six episode fantasy-action anime, with sci-fi elements thrown in that follows Falis in her attempt to reclaim the kingdom of Forland and eventually defend it from its enemies. The anime really isn't much different from others of its type, and it really doesn't try to deviate from its main goal which is delivering an over the top action romp. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is solely up to the viewer. Fortunately though, it does pretty well in the action department and fans searching only for that will more than likely be satisfied.

It's an 00s Bee Train production, so the point isn't necessarily to be good. It's to be good practice for the animators. And this stuff is consequently nothing to write home about. The characters are mostly one-note aside from being subtle (as a truck) lesbians, but they can't actually get together because this was the 00s.
Nonetheless, I can't say it's a BAD show, necessarily. It's perfectly adequate in being so subpar. I picked it out because it was dubbed and I wanted something for background noise. The story hit the most basic notes that it needed to hit. I've seen worse. Jan 13, 2021
Murder Princess is a very fine anime. There's nothing really great about it, but there isn't anything really bad about it either. The plot twists have all the twists of a ruler, the characters aren't stagnant (but then again don't have enough time to grow stagnant), and there's nothing wrong with any of the animations or art. The music isn't stand-out save for some heavy guitar work, but it isn't distracting. Overall, for a six-episode OVA series, it's worth a watch. You can kill an unfilled afternoon with this show. I give it a six since I feel like it's better than mediocre but so

Going into this, I made sure to set my expectations low, and I still left underwhelmed. With only six episodes to adapt a similarly short manga that was forced to a rushed conclusion because of the publication it ran in, I knew to not expect everything to be fully fleshed out but I'm still disappointed with how little substance there really is.
If you took the story beats and characters on paper, in a vacuum, this story is fine, with great potential to be enjoyable. Not much in the way of complexity or novelty, but still a solid framework for a fun romp through ... Oct 3, 2024
As it was released on 2007, the animation cannot be compared to animation today. But, watching it after 17 years feels nostalgic on its own.
The most thing I can say is that this is worth watching after reviewing todays animation which only focus on the graphics and art but not entirely on the quality of the story. And if there's still have both, it's very rare. There can proudly declare that old animes are the best in delivery of the quality and and application of that quality in their animation. *Disappointed with anime enthusiast nowadays since they only focus on the great art.
