Kaibutsu Oujo (Monster Princess)

Description on AnimeDB.net

Kaibutsu Oujo or Monster Princess is good for a few laughs and if you like seeing main characters abuse their immortal slaves. Think of Rozen Maiden but the Shinku is now a chainsaw-wielding princess whose life is the aim of monsters from all around.

After the first two episodes, I thought it was okay. I liked some of the supporting characters (fuga, fuga~) and generally watched for some minor giggles here and there. But one episode with the body-snatching eyeball squid thing seriously grossed me out. I didn't expect it from this anime. It might be darker than I previously thought. Just watch that ending anime. It's vicious watching the little maidservant get drilled! Maybe there's more to this anime than I thought.

Recommendations:

• Rozen Maiden...young boy is pulled into a creepy doll fight, takes getting used to
• Yakushiji Ryoko no Kaiki Jikenbo...alpha female calls the shots while her assistant fights off creatures (See Anime Spotlight)
  
• Soul Eater...action and sprinkled with scary movie monsters and Halloween influence (See Anime Spotlight)

For weeks Lucky Star episodes have been sitting in my Finished-and-ready-to-watch folder and I thought I had nothing to watch. HA!

This stuff's great. I'm practically glued to Konata. She's obviously the star, but there are some great characters that just come out of left field. I thought I'd be annoyed with the Lucky Channel after a few episodes, but now Akira is my 2nd favorite of the cast. Her assistant's presence just brings out the best in her. Watch it for wacky bits episode by episode. I even look forward to watching the super-peppy opening theme.

Recommendations:

• Lucky Star OAV...just an extra episode, just as wacky
• Kannagi...playful characters and situations and some just hanging on
• Azumanga DaiOh...high school girls that don't take things seriously
