Undead Girl Murder Farce

What a refreshing and original anime.

Ever wanted to see a severed head, a half-Oni, and a kick-ass maid solve supernatural crimes? Neither did I, but damn I really liked this series.

The main characters are interesting from the first episode on. I mean the group is so unique, that it's almost impossible to not be intrigued where this show is gonna go.

The action vs actual detective work time ratio is favoured heavily towards the latter, some people might say that's "boring". I think that actually gives more time to the actual interesting part of the story: the mystery.

Mind you, the battle scenes which do happen are amazing. The anime looks spectactular throughout with top artwork, with some very original scenes at times as well. It's not just the cast which makes this anime unique.

The biggest negative? It's only 1 season (so far) we've only been given the beginning of this story; with a very open ending. Very much looking forward to more.

I have not seen much hype around this anime, but I've heard good things about the manga and things are off to a very good start. The overall production is very solid and the directing is rather unique with interesting camera angles and visuals. The premise is pretty interesting too, and the characters so far are quite likeable, hopefully this continues for the rest of the season.

If you like detective type shows murder mysteries or anything around that line this is for you. It basically is a supernatural detective show.

It is brilliant in its premise and sticks to it. The story is basically about an Oni a Headless girl and her assistant and how they go on through the journey to get something back while solving mysteries along the way.

This series is set in an alternate nineteenth century where supernatural creatures and various famous literary characters are real. The action takes place in Europe but is centred on three unusual Japanese 'people'; Tsugaru Shinuchi is an experimentally created half Oni, a so called Oni Slayer. He works for Aya Rindo, an immortal woman who, having lost her body lives as a head in a bird cage; finally there is Shizuku Hasei, Aya's maid. Over the course of the series they must solve various mysteries and face various dangers. Some issues are solved in a matter of a few episodes while there are others that last all series.

I thought this was an enjoyable series. The protagonists are great and it is fun seeing various famous nineteen century characters interacting with each other even though they would never have met in the original works. The series looks great with good character designs and animation. Many plot lines are wrapped up by the end but things are left open for further season; if we should get more I'd certainly watch. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of period action with a supernatural twist.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Having only watched 8 episodes, I can say with confidence that this series is one of top 3 that came out this summer.

For starters, the animation and fighting scenes were exceptionally well made. It doesn't have that silly generic look to it that most shows have nowadays.

The plot is really engaging that I found myself immersed and didn't feel the time passing. The chemistry between the main characters is also another strong selling point for this show. Furthermore, the use of public domain characters was utilized well to drive the story.

If you want a show with a serious tone and non of childish characters that plague most anime now than this for you.

Anime is so mysterious and unpredictable and animation and fights are also good story is good and character are savage and these some attention. I like the main character not to serious and not to fool but good main character. Probably the most under rated Summer anime of 2023
