As a whole its an entertaining show, that thankfully does not require too much time invested to watch it.
My biggest complaints are the lack of length, which sadly does not give enough time for character development, and the back stories seem pretty rushed. On the positive side, it was not so long that the staff had to put a slew of filler scenes in to ensure it ran long enough. I would say four to five more episodes would have made this one complete.
The other is the main motive for one of the bad guys. Yes its the most cliche thing here.
(Spoiler warning do not read past this if you want to avoid that.)
The big baddie is the older brother returned after years of absence, who wants to destroy the world in order to end all the suffering. Yeah, the same motive for about 75% of the main villains in anime.
Baring that the rest of the show is superb. The character designs are ranging from decent to excellent. I also did actually enjoy how it turned out at the end even with the exceptionally cliche enemy.

These episodes were very entertaining. I aggree with the review that says this story would be better with more episodes. Well maybe someone will do that someday. For now it is a good show of the Sci-fi/fantasy type and if that appeals to you than enjoy what there is of it.

This anime was great but too short, I want more and with the ending like it was…..I’m waiting! It had a great story line, this anime was easy to follow, but could have a little more background on the Murder Princess!

I personally picked this title up on whim during an anime sale, partly due to the Western/fantasy setting and also trusting in Funimation dubs. What I got is a very solidly constructed, well-paced series that–and I’m not unique in this–I’d like to have had more of.
There are no weak episodes in the batch, and the English voice acting excellent. All characters from the various Forland family members to Faris and her clan come vividly to life, with vibrant widescreen visuals and entertaining swordplay. The 5.1 surround (English) also lets every slash come through with extra clarity.
Be aware that characters and storyline here are an often weird/goofy amalgamation of medieval royalty, (literally) colorful Frankenstein knockoffs, military weapons fashioned as crazy young “girls”, mind/body switching, even a Ghost Rider wannabe. This combined with the sometimes truly “big-eyed” characters (even for anime) and vibrant color can even create a “Saturday morning” cartoon look at times. But such absurdity is part of this anime’s charm.
Overall, Murder Princess (an odd name, as fortunately she isn’t a murderer…) will never be a candidate for any awards but is very entertaining and somehow feels meatier than the mere six short episodes might suggest.
