Shikabane Hime + &hearts!
Feb. 25th, 2011 11:45 amHappy birthday,
inkstone! :3 Also, happy early birthday to
sambethe (tomorrow) and
puckling (Sunday), because I am usually pretty terrible about this birthday greetings business, let's face it. /o\ ;;
Since I know you're fans of awesome ladies, I figured this would be a good time to pimp Shikabane Hime/Corpse Princess!
inkstone, I don't know if you're already familiar with it, but if not, it seems particularly relevant to your interests. See also:
( OPENER OF AMAZEFACE )
I flicked past the opener while channel-surfing a while back and then decided to watch even though it was a) an episode somewhere in the middle of the series and b) awkwardly English-dubbed (SUBBED >>>> DUBBED, OKAY), because many awesome women! Armed and killing monsters! Sometimes with priests in tow! How could I pass that up. Plus, Makina is amazing.
-- and see, this is why I can't write review posts properly, I always start in the middle and ramble on haphazardly. Let's try this again.
After being murdered, Hoshimura Makina turns into a shikabane hime, or a living corpse, contracted to the Buddhist priest Tagami Keisei. Unlike regular shikabane, who kill humans, shikabane hime are contracted to priests and bound to kill shikabane. It is believed that a shikabane hime must kill 108 shikabane in order to enter heaven. However, Makina doesn't care about getting to heaven; her ultimate goal is to kill the Seven Stars (also shikabane hime) and thus avenge the murder of her family.

On the whole, though, I think this is a pretty awesome show, and I am looking forward to actually finishing the series! :D
PS:
vi, I got your card, thank you! &hearts I finally went to get more stamps, so yours should be going out this weekend.
