Shikabane Hime - Wallpaper and Scan Gallery

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.

I felt really bad for what ended up happening to Hokuto. I also didn't like how bad Takamasa treated his Shikabane Itsuki Yamagami. I enjoyed the fights and the plot to this show very much. Though the death of Keisei was quite sad.

Achei a primeira parte, Shikabane Hime Aka, muito devagar. Não conseguiu me empolgar. Mas melhorou consideravelmente em Kuro. Tanto que levei uns dois dias para terminar de ver. O que eu não gostei foi que a serie terminou sem uma conclusão. Eu queria ter visto a conclusão da luta final entre a Makina e a Hokuto. Será que teremos um filme de Shikabane Hime para encerrar a serie de TV? Só o tempo dirá. Gostei da verdade por trás do nascimento do Ouri; do surgimento das Shikabanes e o segredo depois de terem matado 108 Shikabenes. Muito bem bolado. É também muito sinistro essa realidade das Shikabane Himes depois de terem matado os 108.

Seems fairly standard-- nothing groundbreaking, but it still entertaining. Was kind of lukewarm about the series up until episode 12. That's where the hook was for me. Really like all of the characters except for Oori... I felt that as the male lead his character was kind of weak. The ending left a little bit to be desired-- there was not really a clear cut conclusion.

After watching both Shikabane Hime Aka & Shikabane Hime Kuro I must say I really enjoyed them. The story, the action, the characters; everything was solid and I have no "major" complaints. It had plenty of action, but I can't help but feel as if it needed more... Hmmm... I don't know, I'll definitely need to read the manga now though. ^_^

This is my all-time favorite. The characters are well developed. The entire series keeps you guessing. Violent, and dark, but has light at the end of the tunnel and a wonderful beauty about it. The music soundtrack fits amazing with the show and makes the mood all the better.
