About Princess Resurrection

Looking for background on Princess Resurrection (怪物王女)? This action, comedy and horror series by MADHOUSE and Imagin (2007) starts out like this. In short: When Hiro Hiyorimi tries to save a beautiful young woman from certain death, he ends up a dead hero himself! However, since the drop-dead girl is Hime, daughter of the King of the Monsters, his "reward" is to come back as a not-quite-living soldier in her honor guard of horror!

Further in, that means helping confront off the army of supernatural monstrosities Hime's siblings are unleashing against her in hopes of moving up the ladder of succession. If facing off with vampires and zombies isn't bad enough, how can anyone be prepared for the REALLY weird ones, like were-sharks, pandas and killer dumplings? This sure as hell isn't the afterlife Hiro was hoping for, but the really sad part is that Hime is the good girl in all of this... or at least as close to good as you can come when you're on the wrong side of the gates of hell!

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Ayako Kawasumi as Liliane and Shiho Kawaragi as Flandre. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 25 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with MADHOUSE and Imagin, which means the visual identity of Princess Resurrection follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Ayako Kawasumi as Liliane, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2007, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
