Just finished watching the first ep subbed by Ayako.

Pretty weird and bloody show. Not sure what to think of it yet. Has some good bits but it's not too convicing yet. The art is nice and I like the music too, especially the OP is great.

Gonna check out the second ep to see how this is going to continue.

The bodyswitch thing was unexpected but awesome. Really like the OP song, BACK-ON ftw.
I wonder what deathly situation they'll get in to allow the souls to go back to their original bodies... Actually, I hope they change back some other way, it seems kinda predictable otherwise.

BACK-ON's opening was a nice start. The excessive blood was surprising.
I loved watching cute little girls kill. I'll wait for rnext month's episode.

I just saw this. Awesome OP song. And I like the animation and music. The story isn't really anything to look at but yeah, at least we have some nice presentation to bring us along. XD

I'm not sure... I like it well enough, and the opening is indeed awesome, but there's going to have to be a little more to it in the next episode to keep my interest.

i have a bad habit of skipping through OP's but this one is hot. The princess's seems badass and it's bloody so most likely i will download but i dont expect it to WOW me but it will be enjoyable and i think i will like the princess as a character.

The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.

Just finished 1st episode... Well I like mix of princess' body and Pharis soul, but separately they aren't so cool and attractive, especially Alita =)

Even though using rock/metal is a bit typical of this genre this theme I really liked. I think it really fits the series overall.

It was a pleasant surprise spotting Paku Romi's voice. Seems promising thus far. The kawaii mechanical dolls creating massive death, blood, and gore was a bonus. Definitely put a smile on my face.

BACK-ON OP is awesome. I'm surprised by how fast the plot got moving. Lol, the king dies as soon as he tells Alita to escape.

WTF?!? Robotic lolis?!? Didn't the setting tag say it was year 650 something?

Lol, I think I like Falis already. She's a badass that still has her own faults.

Looking forward to this series.

Rocket punch and mechanical dolls. LOL, this OVA episode was just...

quite confusing. Oh well, it was an amusing watch. Intense ending there also, she sure lives up to her name doesn't she?

The OP was pretty sweet, and I like the plot so far! I'm not too fond of the real princess Arita, as she's a bit too much of a pushover for my likes, but damn, Farith is badass :D

Can't wait to see how the people of Forland is going to react to their 'new' princess XD

Wow this was a very entertaining first episode, I enjoyed it immensely. Good animation, great fight scenes, plenty of blood, awesome music and a badass female lead. Everything I was hoping for.

I'm looking forward to seeing what havoc Falis will cause as the *new* princess.

Liked it but I have to say I've never been a fan of using metal/rock battle music in a medieval setting. Just sucks away the immersion. Looks like I'm one of the few who didn't care for the OP that much, either. I enjoyed the ED much more and it's a better fit besides.

Otherwise, yeah, love the characters and the budding gl. Interesting antagonists. Romi Park, Chiwa Saito and Ami Koshimizu are great for the female voices :)

Ive ignored this for years cuz it looked so cliche and bland and the robo dolls and all that was kinda weird, but glad i finally decided to watch it - its been rather amusing so far, next episode seems a bit slow start - but other wise i think this'll be a nice short watch and a nice change of pace lol

I love rock music so i don't care if its in it, but as far as breaking immersion i think the themes with the punk rock dead peeps and flaming motorcycles already broke immersion a long long time ago - let alone the robot dolls and everything else
