    Monster Princess

    First episode of Monster Princess by LC:
    http://a.scarywater.net/sleepingfore...5D.mkv.torrent

    Not much information is available for this series at the moment. It's based on a manga called Princess Resurrection.

    After receiving his sister’s letter of invitation, Hiyomi Hiro goes to the house indicated on the map, but finds it abandoned. Its gate is locked and the windows are boarded up. He has no choice but to go back to town on foot. There, he finds a cart loaded with a pile of furniture.

    The person pulling the cart is a strange looking little girl in a maid costume, and at the top of the furniture pile, there sits a beautiful girl with long hair in a black one-piece dress. The cart is stuck in a ditch and will not move.

    Then, an iron pillar of a building under construction falls. Hiro protects the girl but is crushed under the pillar. He is sent to a hospital, but there is nothing they can do for him and he passes away.

    Suddenly, the girl appears in front of his body in the mortuary. She then says these strange words to Hiro: “This is a good body.”

    The girl stands and holds her index finger up over his body. Then, fireballs gather around her finger. They drop onto the white cloth covering his face, and a heat haze appears around his body…

    Sounds kinda interesting, downloading.

    This group doesn't have a clue on how to fansub. The font choice is horrible and very hard to read, I'm going to wait for another release for now.

    It was kinda odd. I don't know how to explain it, but the closest thing I can think of is it just feels like The Adam's Family or the Nightmare Before Christmas from the OP. And yea the font certainly does suck. I assume they chose it for aesthetic purposes to fit the monster masher theme or whatever.

    Group called RNA released episode 1:

    Hopefully they'll be better than LC.

    Good thing I didn't waste bandwidth on LC's release, then. Anybody has any idea of the quality of Ribonucleic acid's release?

    Well, I'll have to check this series out in any case because of Ayako Kawasumi having a main role, but with everything else being downloaded and with how much my isp hates torrents, I dislike wasting bandwith. But maybe it's my turn to experiment... I'll report back eventually unless someone faster does it before me.

    Edit: I'm glad to announce RNA's version is not heading straight for Ribonucleases, but it was actually pretty good. I noticed no problems at all. The fonts were rather normal, if a bit small, and they had karaoke and all the usual jazz. My eyes aren't really any ultimate quality meter, likes Bud's, but I could even archive this version with no gripes.

    Oh, what comes to the series itself, it was funny just like could be expected. Funny in a bizarre way. Well, when the main character is a zombie killed twice during the first episode (well, he wasn't yet a zombie when he died the first time), what else could you expect? I do see a danger this could turn dull if the script (manga) isn't careful with cliches and such, but if it keep going like this first episode, this could be a fine small series.

    Also, when I watched this, I began to wonder if the anime scene in Japan nowadays always tries to cast Ayako Kawasumi only in blond roles or if it's just a grand coincidence...

    This show had loads of potential, but after going for 19 episodes, all it has managed to do is introduce new characters, and somehow NOT develop the main ones.

    It's pretty boring, the animation's pretty sub-par. The series is now just a repetitive dribble of introduce new side-character/mini-villian connect it to that male Vampire, and have random new species of monster's come outta nowhere.

    Anyone tried that group called Genjo? I know they only have 4 episodes out, but I'm thinking of getting their version if they're better than the rest (which I find to be very likely).

    Yeah. I haven't checked their subs out yet, but it's reasonable to assume their subs might be more worthy for archiving. I guess I should download their first ep to find out.

    Well, unfortunately this version didn't impress me that much either. The font was annoying at least in the first ep. Maybe they changed it later on, remains to be seen. Otherwise it did look a bit more serious sub in the sense I got the feeling it was done by a real group and not by anonymous (I don't know if that's also a real group with just a name like that or if it is a temporal entity producing subs nobody else delivered).

    I didn't immediately spot any gross spelling or things like that, which is a good thing but remembering how I'm pretty lenient here, it shouldn't convince you, Bud. The first ep Karaoke was also missing kanji/kana, presenting only English / romaji. Again, no idea yet if that's fixed in later eps. I doubt there's any huge difference in video quality. This show doesn't have very good video to begin with, after all.

    I don't know yet if I'm going to replace Anonymous with these Genjo subs. This is no Claymore so I don't personally feel any great pressure to invest too much time and effort into redownloading particular subs for my archive. I'm kind of lazy in that sense.

    And there was nothing but a flicker of flame to keep him awake from the sleep eternal.

    I love Reiri. Its too bad that the main hero is so weak. Is he never going to prove to be less trouble than he's worth?

    EDIT - @kraco - apparently, youve been soloing this thread for a while now.

    The Princess has a damn six-shooter with silver bullets. Why doesn't she just tell him to learn how to use that instead of his lethal arsenal of brooms, his scrawny hands and his face.

    Because he is a pussy, and quite incompetent at that. Would you hand a six shooter to that kind of guy? Unlike a broom, friendly fire from a gun is no joke.
