Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 2: Coronation]

Bloody murder. Fanservice. Yuri undertones. Killing. Murder Princess is absolute WIN.

Dammit, why is this a six-episode OVA? If anything, this episode just proves to me that Murder Princess should have been a TV series. If not a 26-episode one then at least a 13-14 episode run.

Anyways, in this episode we mostly get to see Faris, or rather Hime-sama/”Arita” adapt to the life of royalty. All the same, Arita is now known as “Milano” and is a servant to “Arita”. So from this point onwards unless otherwise indicated, I’ll be using their current names and not their old ones. If that makes sense. I found it quite interesting how quickly and easily Milano was able to fill the role of a meido/servant despite being a princess all of her life. Perhaps she learned the role from her departed servant Miranda? Most likely I’d say.

Also, remember how I mentioned in the previous episode about the possibility of some Arita/Milano scenes? Yup. They’re in this one. Almost all of the scenes of the two nearly scream yuri, especially the one in the bathing room. Milano was quite close to Arita when she was saying how she Arita must “take her body” as a reward for saving the Kingdom. Yeah….she even fell in the damn tub! Sadly, nothing happened between the two. Although, we did get a loud “NO! DON’T TOUCH THERE!” from Arita when Milano fell in LOL. Well, for now, it seems as if Milano really likes Arita but Arita on the other hand is still a bit weary of having such a close friend. If it isn’t explored in the future episodes, then as I always say, let the doujinshi flood in!

I enjoyed seeing the new Arita try to adapt to the life of a princess. She’s still rough around the edges and probably always will be for her duration as princess but that’s what makes her so awesome. Her lack of modesty when she awoke from asleep had me rolling yet had my eyes paying full attention to the screen. FANSERVICE-DESU! The strange thing is, Milano blushes. EH? She’s blushing at the sight of her old naked body? Narcissist much, Milano?

The facial expressions in this episode was golden, most from Arita. Her “Argh, WTF!” to her “COME GET SOME!” and lastly to her “YAY! I’m the princess!” expressions are all too enjoyable not to see more than once. She was pretty scary at the end of the episode when she killed that monster as well. I wonder what’s up with that….

On another note, Arita’s buddies are actually useful. Thank goodness they aren’t useless fodder. Though, I have to say that the antagonists aren’t as interesting as I’d like them to be. The doctor and his loli-bots really are lame in my opinion and only serve as fodder villains. I mean seriously, these idiots are what gave an entire elite guard problems? You’ve got to be friggin’ kidding me. Well, at least we know there will be more interesting antagonists in future episodes. They didn’t appear in this episode but they were in the previous one and you can also see them in the OP sequence. I can’t wait to see Arita have a real challenging fight.

LONG LIVE PRINCESS ARITA FORLAND!
