Well! Time for another boooring romance anime with lame plot twists, right? What’s this? Difference? No way! Monster Princess isn’t really some lame romance anime with a spoilt brat of a main character? Please, my knees are weak from the shock. Now, as I digress from that rant, Monster Princess is DEFFINATELY worth checking out. I’ll break it down into chunks to explain why.

Plot:
How many people are tired of the usual boy-saves-girl, girl-loves-guy, guy-becomes-crazy-strong plot? Well, rejoice fellow anime watchers! Monster Princess, also known as Princess Ressurection, seperates itself from other anime. Allow me to explain why. At the start, it looks like the typical princess-type storyline. The main hero (if that’s what you want to call him), Hiro (A pun!~), is invited to come live with his elder, and busty, sister at a house she has been invited to serve at as a full-time maid. On his way, he runs into Hime– on a mountain of furniture and luggage carried by a little child! Hiro is fascinated by the blond beauty, but when Hime runs into danger as some cross beams fall down, he relies on instinct and rushes to push her out of the way, at the cost of his own life. As he falls unconscious, she whispers to him “What a fine corpse…” In the next few minutes, Hiro Hiyorimi is now dead. In the morgue, his body is put into storage and the doctors walk away, saddened by their inability to save him from his fatal injury. However, Hiro’s corpse is not alone in that room… Hime has come to see him. She then holds out a brilliant flame on her finger and puts it inside him… granting him semi-immortality! Hiro is now what humans would call.. a zombie. Continous interesting plot developments and some very entertaining humor, all mixed with a serious and involving storyline builds Monster Princess into the 4.5 stars it deserves.

Music:
Wow. Just… wow. The opening theme is a brilliant Halloween-esque piece that you absolutely must hear, and the ending theme is.. and the songs in the anime… They’re all terrific. All of them. I haven’t heard this kind of a music soundtrack since .hack//SIGN and .hack//ROOTS.

Design:
The anime doesn’t dwell too much on bright colors, but the design is very crisp and well proportioned (except on a certain female with red hair and Hiro’s sister… Those can’t be real <_<). The colors fit the anime type: dark, yet gentle. The design isn't over-the-top, but its very fitting for the nature of the anime itself.

Summary:
Kick. Ass. Watch Monster Princess yourself and see why I’ve rambled on about this for too long. Seriously, this anime is a terrific change from all that slow drama. The action is on-and-off, but there are some really cool parts including the Invisible Man. The episodes seem to trade off between plot building and rapid fighting and loyalty building. If you skip a single episode, you’ll miss out on a lot. Also, there is hinting at a romance to become, but don’t get your hopes too high. In half a dozen episodes, the closest thing to romance they’ve had has been… well, you’ll just have to find out for yourself. <3
