Corpse Princess...
After watching Corpse Party, I decided to jump back into the undead fray and take the opportunity to watch Corpse Princess…
Aside from the blood, Corpse Princess is notable for having fan service scenes at all of the dramatic moments in the series. So, in the middle of a dramatic moment, the point of view will invariably change to below and behind one of the female characters, looking up over the female character's rear end at whatever the dramatic focus happens to be at the time. While, many of the female characters seem to prefer dressing is rather skimpy attire and there are a handful of bare breasts without nipples, there are no naughty actual bits.
Corpse Princess is a splatter fest and all manner of gratuitous violence and bloodshed with a modest amount of fan service at, seemingly, the most inappropriate times. The series has a lot of quasi-religious technical jargon to refer to different castes within the organization that fights to protect humanity and also to describe resurrected beings and how they are different from normal human beings. Overall, Corpse Princess has a distinct monster-of-the-week feeling, but, was very entertaining and I would give the series a 3 out of 5.
In Corpse Princess, Makina is a resurrected girl who hunts down other dead people that refuse to stay dead. Although, the term zombie isn't used in the series, what we have here is basically a never-ending monster and zombie smack down from beginning to end. There's plenty of red ink and gore to go around, but, Corpse Princess isn't anywhere near as intense as Corpse Party. One can expect stabbing wounds, gunshot wounds, and a general assortment of broken bones and head smashing scenes. In addition, one eye is ripped out, an arm is ripped off and the are copious numbers of bodies and body parts on exhibition.Makina Hoshino is already dead, but she can't let go of this twisted world. She burned to death along with her entire family in a fire started by freaks that wouldn't stay buried. Makina knows she doesn't belong among the living, but that won't stop her from unleashing the full fury of her twin MAC-11 machine guns on the rotting remains of those who refuse to die. She's hell-bent on filling every empty grave she can find with the monsters that should be six feet under. Makina is a Shikabane Hime - a Corpse Princess - and it's her job to finish off the undead leftovers haunting the dark corners of a city that used to be safe.
