Type: Anime
Status: Complete ( 26 Episodes)
Premise: When a human dies filled with regret and strong obsession they may not remain dead. Shikabane are near immortal monster born from these negative emotions and are driven to murder an destroy to fill the void that these desires leave them with, but some Shikabane whose desires can be controlled fight against these monsters along with their bonded monks. These young women will fight for a chance at eternal peace one enemy at a time, they are Shikabane Hime.
Thoughts: This anime was compelling as it slowly developed its dark and twisted story-line, the characters loved and lost with equal measure as the plot twisted and turned. The action sequences are completely over the top and laugh in the face of physics but are a spectacle to behold. A dark drama dealing with obsession and desire.
Pros: Deep character development really brings you into the twisted world of the Shikabane and tells a story that will have you in the palm of your hand from beginning to end.
Cons: This is a high violence, bloodshed and twisted piece of work so be prepared for a mature viewing experience.
-Notes: Fully dubbed.
8.5/10 (I can count the number of times she reloads on my fingers...)
