And with strange eons even death may die.", By This review is from: Princess Resurrection Complete Collection (DVD) "Princess Resurrection" is an anime that I found surprisingly engrossing considering it has been completely unheralded. I ran into it by coincidence while searching for obscure vampire titles and it was just about love at first sight. For a show that seems to utilize nearly every anime convention imaginable, this one still manages to feel fresh by combining elements from all sorts of genres within the genre. The primary setting for the show is classic horror with broad swaths of comedy and it reminds me a lot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer in it's approach. It's got the "monster of the week", a metric ton of homages for classic horror/sci-fi fans (including, of course, the Lovecraft incantation I used for the title of this review), recognizable archetypes that are allowed to revel in their roles to the point of parody, and a pretty bizarre sense of humor to tie it all together. This may not have gone over big with the masses, but it feels like it was made with me in mind...

The case these DVDs come in is a joke. Looks like a nice hard case, but when you open it the DVDs are all just stacked on one single spool with a big block of styrofoam on the other side to keep them from just banging around loose. It's just like a cheap pack of blank discs you would buy. Really upset with this packaging. Sentai Filmworks really blew it on the packaging of this set. |
