Weskalia's Shikabane Hime Tv Review
Rated:
Perhaps it's pretty much impossible to hate Shikabane Hime. It's just does what the formative outing of this genre: there are boobs and there are explosions and to try and make sense of it is to miss the point entirely. Aka may have its flaws for turning the plot into a trashy monster hunt with a poor selection of characters; that's when the series starting to crack. And let's not forget its ridiculous emphasis on emphasized boobs and clothes-shredding attacks, although there's more clothes to shred and more fleshes to show even though it's unnecessary. The question is whether Kuro is up for the job, and tells a better story.
And it actually did, not only the pacing is better, but its conflicted emotions are well-written for sure.

CyanideBlizzard's Shikabane Hime Tv Review
Rated:
Shikabane Hime is one of those shows that starts off decently enough and only gets better with each episode. While the anime itself is divide into two seasons, you cannot simply watch the first half alone, not with the cliffhanger they leave it on. Strong characters and even stronger character development furthered by strong animation and great voice acting make this truly one heck of an anime series. It's just a shame that the lack of any real ending hurts this show from being much better than what it is.
Shikabane Hime, if you only cut out the silly fan service and actually gave yourself a proper ending, you would be close to a perfect show for those that are fans of supernatural or those that enjoy a wonderfully told action-packed drama.
