Yoru no Uta (Manga) add
Mixed Feelings
Puppet princess is a short, but enjoyable action/comedy involving an interesting premise, puppet ninjas in feudal Japan. I found this manga because I enjoyed the anime and wanted to see if the manga did anything better, but much to my surprise the anime is superior.

Watch the 40 min anime adaptaion because:
*It's art is much better
*It's animated well, including lots of turning gears and enjoyable fights
*it's a complete adaptation
*its dubbed (if you enjoy dubs)

Since the story is the same, I cant exactly give this a bad score, but all of the reasons why I find the anime to be enjoyable are not present here.

Apocalypse Zero doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you. It has the potential to be a great guilty pleasure which is loaded with blood, gore, nudity, and references to other anime/movies.

Im surprised to find so many negative reviews of this OVA here, i find that many must simply be offended by gore, nudity, or possibly have Zero grasp of scope. (pun intended) Apocalypse Zero knows what it is, and knows what it is and never tries to be anything greater, this is what allows it ...

A poor attempt at a manga promo.

Hitsuji no Uta is a retelling of the story told in its manga counterpart stuffing 7 volumes of well developed plot and characters into 4 episodes of rushed anime with poor animation. I wont be getting into the plot or characters because if you haven't read the manga or don't intend to; you have no reason to know of the existence of this OVA series. Even as a fan of the manga (which has its flaws) this OVA is completely pointless. The story skips so much that you cant really understand all of whats going on, i mean the ...
