    Murder Princess

    I Heart this anime. The Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, fight/battle music. So rare to have an anime to watch where the music is actually exciting and not some slow boring music for a fight scene. :P

    I enjoyed the first episode and I hope there's many more.

    Crap, n/m it's a 6 OVA, that sucks.

    " In the land of Foreland a coup de tat has occurred and the princess, after witnessing the death of the King, is on the run. She meets with battle-hungry bounty hunter Fallis, and with a twist of fate they both switch souls, making Alita the maid of the now princess Falis. Named for her bravery in confronting the enemy as ‘Murder Princess’, Falis must continue to be the princess as well as confronting any new opponent that comes to her way." -ANN

    Now that Geass is over for a while, gg seemed to find something else to occupy their spare time with:

    Episode 1 - gg

    Edit: It was an entertaining first episode. The description and even just the name were quite good indications of the level of deepness that was to be expected of this series, and indeed based on this first episode it seems like a purposefully light series. It worked really well.

    But damn that land has a dangerous countryside...

    This one looks fun, I wouldn't have expected her to take over as princess. Usually in body switch situations the person desperately tries to get their old bod back, but this method seems much more entertaining. I can't wait to see how much craziness the crude and violent Falis will manage to stir up amoung the nobility of this country, not to mention her two lackies.

    Maybe there was a problem with the copy/paste.
    But it's "coup d'état", at least if we're dealing with the french word for it

    It looks like CrystalNova decided to broaden their prospects beyond Aria:

    Episode 1 - CrystalNova
    Episode 1 LQ - CrystalNova

    They released two versions, the normal being 200MB (although they call it HQ, but it's standard, rather), and the LQ 116MB for those desiring smaller downloads. Both in h264 in mkv containers. gg's version was 364MB, which, I must say, was a bit on the larger than necessary side really, considering it had just a standard resolution. Still, knowing CrystalNova, I might find it hard to wait for their subs. Although gg wasn't that fast all the time with Geass, so who knows.

    You will be sorely disappointed if you think anime sites uphold outstanding standards in spelling and grammar. While Animenfo is in its totally own league with barely understandable descriptions, it's not totally uncommon for ANN either to have texts that somehow avoided their proofreading efforts. And when I quote something, I generally try not to alter the content, for good or for bad.

    I just replied that because the words were too altered and it was confusing when I first read it.
    And I understand your point for quotes (I just forgot this possibility)

    If leaving out the apostrophes made it too altered and confusing, then you have a weak comprehension for the english language.

    According to CrystalNova it's an episode per month. So, I guess a month from now, or so.

    The second OAV was not as good as the first. :/ Still worth watching.

    Even though it left me confused about Farith.

    Princess Alita was changed to Akita? Even though the name being pronounced sounds like Alita. :/ Maybe a subber's fault there.

    No, the manga has the english spelling of Alita as Akita on a character profile page, despite the dialogue of the manga using Alita. They are the "official" spellings, but they are as poorly translated by the creators as the engrish in Nanoha.

    Yeah. But I don't think it was fitting for the character of the Princess to drop her weapons when asked. I was fully expecting she would just smile and attack instead. But now she actually got her ass kicked and was saved by a third party. Very sad.

    I mean, honestly, who would drop her weapon in a situation like that? You are facing people who only desire to kill you. Dropping your weapons means you will get killed along with the hostage (whose death would be a question mark in any case, more so than yours). That's not actually something that would help anything.

    At first I thought her brother was the suit of armor, but now after seeing the ending to this ep I'm sure of it.

    hmm her brother seems kind of strong, stronger than the main character from what i see. Don't like when a person is stronger than the main character T_T

    Murder Princess - 04 - [Ayako]

    Interesting developments, though some of them were predictable some of them were genuine surprises to me.

    Let's post this version here as well...
    Episode 4 - CrystalNova

    When the crazy scientist was killed, I expected the owner of the blade to be the Prince. But then when the suit of armor remained silent all the time, I began to think it was some animated thing after all. But then it turned out it was the Prince after all. Still, it was nice development. I actually thouught the Prince (and those behind him) would let the fake Princess out of the castle and town before ambushing her. But I guess they were a bit hasty...
