I first discovered this Shikabane Hime on Hulu.com, which at first only had two available episodes (and now, four). I later found out that there have only been seven episodes aired in Japan, so I thought it was cool that Funimation was releasing subtitled episodes so quickly after airing.

While the story-line remains slightly convuluted (which can be expected from any anime, really), I thought that the action and diologue was fantastic. I immediately thought Sailor Moon with guns, and way more blood. Who wouldn’t want to watch a young girl in a uniform shooting monsters with a semi-automatic rifle?

more later…
