Undead Girl Murder Farce

This series is set in an alternate nineteenth century where supernatural creatures and various famous literary characters are real. The action takes place in Europe but is centred on three unusual Japanese 'people'; Tsugaru Shinuchi is an experimentally created half Oni, a so called Oni Slayer. He works for Aya Rindo, an immortal woman who, having lost her body lives as a head in a bird cage; finally there is Shizuku Hasei, Aya's maid. Over the course of the series they must solve various mysteries and face various dangers. Some issues are solved in a matter of a few episodes while there are others that last all series.

I thought this was an enjoyable series. The protagonists are great and it is fun seeing various famous nineteen century characters interacting with each other even though they would never have met in the original works. The series looks great with good character designs and animation. Many plot lines are wrapped up by the end but things are left open for further season; if we should get more I'd certainly watch. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of period action with a supernatural twist.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

I have not seen much hype around this anime, but I've heard good things about the manga and things are off to a very good start. The overall production is very solid and the directing is rather unique with interesting camera angles and visuals. The premise is pretty interesting too, and the characters so far are quite likeable, hopefully this continues for the rest of the season.

If you like detective type shows murder mysteries or anything around that line this is for you. It basically is a supernatural detective show.

It is brilliant in its premise and sticks to it. The story is basically about an Oni a Headless girl and her assistant and how they go on through the journey to get something back while solving mysteries along the way.

Having only watched 8 episodes, I can say with confidence that this series is one of top 3 that came out this summer.

For starters, the animation and fighting scenes were exceptionally well made. It doesn't have that silly generic look to it that most shows have nowadays.

The plot is really engaging that I found myself immersed and didn't feel the time passing. The chemistry between the main characters is also another strong selling point for this show. Furthermore, the use of public domain characters was utilized well to drive the story.

If you want a show with a serious tone and non of childish characters that plague most anime now than this for you.

Having just sat through five episodes of the 2023 Japanese Anime "Undead Girl Murder Farce", I must say that I was expecting quite something else than what it turned out to be.

Sure, the premise of the Anime tells of a disembodied head working as a supernatural detective traveling the work looking for her lost body. And that sounded interesting enough to make me sit down and watch it.

But spending four episodes on solving a murder of vampire, just hardly constitutes proper storytelling in my book. It was too slow paced, monotonous and downright boring. And after having suffered through the fifth episode as well, I am calling it quits on "Undead Girl Murder Farce", never returning to watch this again.

Luckily I sat down to watch the episodes in their original Japanese language. I loathe English dubbed Anime, no doubt about that. However, it was strange why everyone in the series spoke Japanese, even the Englishmen in episode five. That was just downright stupid.

The art style in "Undead Girl Murder Farce" was good, I definitely liked that. And the animation was good as well. But it was hardly enough to alleviate for the shortcomings of the narrative.

I have to admit that I was sorely disappointed with the outcome of "Undead Girl Murder Farce", because it had such an interesting foundation to build something good on.

My rating of "Undead Girl Murder Farce" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Anime is so mysterious and unpredictable and animation and fights are also good story is good and character are savage and these some attention. I like the main character not to serious and not to fool but good main character. Probably the most under rated Summer anime of 2023
