Corpse Princess is a manga series written by Yoshiichi Akahito and was published from April 2005 to August 2014. The first of three anime adaptations, Shikabane Hime: Aka, was produced by Studio Gainax, and began broadcasting in October 2008; a follow-up, Shikabane Hime: Kuro, began broadcast in January 2009.Makina Hoshimura is a Shikabane Hime — an undead girl who must earn her way into Heaven by tracking down and killing 108 Shikabane, monsters formed from the regrets of people who die violent deaths.Things get complicated a year after she returns from the dead when Ouri, the adopted brother of her contracted monk, starts stumbling across her missions and taking an interest in the whole thing. Makina insists he doesn't get involved, but to no avail.Meanwhile, a renegade monk is using Shikabane to fuel his own power and direct it towards evil...American and Canadian distribution rights have been picked up by FUNimation. In a surprising move, the company has offered subtitled episodes for download from its website, and also placed them online on their YouTube channel (even watchable outside the US!); when this proved popular, episodes were also made available from the company website. The best part? These are completely legal, and unless you download, are also 100% free. Australians and New Zealanders can also watch the show's first two episodes for free, courtesy of its Antipodean distributor Madman Entertainment, by visiting the Madman Screening Room.No relation to Corpse Bride and Corpse Party. | |

Super-Powered Evil Side | |
| Corpse Princess (Manga) / int_3cb17a19 | comment |
Superpowered Evil Side: While all Shikabane Hime has it, most only assume it once, never go back, and have to be put down before they go an inevitable rampage. Itsuki is notable in that she assumes it whenever her Contracted Priest gets too heavily wounded or when her energy supply runs low, but she goes back to normal afterwards. We never get to clearly see it, but we do know that she gains snakelike eyes and fangs at the very least, and it seems that when in full gear she turns into a giant naga. | |

Synchronisation | |
| Corpse Princess (Manga) / int_479f8d82 | comment |
Synchronisation: A Shikabane Hime can heal most wounds very quickly if her Contracted Monk is nearby, but the wounds pass to the monk. Conversely, if a Contracted Monk is severely wounded it causes great trauma for his Shikabane Hime, and if he is killed then usually the Shikabane Hime, being cut off from his Rune, dies as well. | |

Eagleland: Freshe is the mixed type. Having apparently died in a plane crash on her way to Harajuku, she is a blonde, freckled, tall, unbelievably boorish and obnoxious, hyperactive, hypersexualized (wearing a ridiculously skimpy mockery of traditional Japanese attire with no bra to hold her gargantuan breasts and no panties, a fact which she is insistent on making everyone aware of one way or another), and has learned everything she knows about Japan strictly from anime (her weapon, an oversized shuriken, is remarked upon as something that no Japanese in real life would ever consider using). While she is very friendly and good natured, she is simply too much an idiot for most people to suffer most of the time. | |

Half-Human Hybrid: Ouri is revealed in Kuro to have been born when a heavily pregnant woman was killed by a hit and run accident, but her obsession/regret over having never held her child allowed her to come back as a Shikabane, the child surviving in her womb and being born as Ouri. Several characters wonder if this makes him human, Shikabane, or something else entirely — including Ouri himself. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Corpse Princess (Manga) / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: What happens to a Shikabane Hime after they kill 108 Corpses. Instead of going to heaven, they become unkillable monsters and are bound in a coffin for eternity. Having this happen to his girlfriend triggers the Big Bad's Start of Darkness. Also Makina's killer's comment: "I see your arms and legs have grown back. You looked so pathetic begging for your life with those bloody stumps." | |

Love Triangle | |
| Corpse Princess (Manga) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: A rather complicated one, with both romantic and platonic elements. Makina definitely has some romantic feelings for Keisei, but he loves her in a strictly platonic sense, more as a little sister (which makes sense, since he was adopted by her family). Ouri and Keisei of course have a strong mutual bond as brothers, and Ouri shows some signs of a romantic attraction to Makina, particularly later in the series. | |

Car Fu: Used by various Shikabane and Shikabane Hime due to their superhuman strength. One of the Shikabane had a grudge towards cars and cars drivers, because he died in a traffic accident (someone else's reckless driving), another Shikabane was possessing a car. | |

Anti-Villain: Akasha. At first he seems like the normal evil Jerkass, but when you hear about why he went rogue, what happened to his Shikabane Hime, and what REALLY happens when your Shikabane Hime kills 108 Shikabane you may start to sympathize with him, if not just feel sorry for him. | |

Religion is Magic: The Kougane Sect are an order of Buddhist Monks who have a wide variety of magical powers due to their faith. Most prominently the Zadan techniques, which "borrow power from the stars and the gods to create miracles". | |

In My Language, That Sounds Like...: 'Makina' means 'machine' in Filipino. Oddly fitting, since the girl's a frickin terminator when she's pissed off. Latin - Machina, pronounced exactly the same way (ma key na)and means the same thing. See "Deus Ex Machina" above. | |

Cats Have Nine Lives: A ghost cat frequently appears from nowhere and rant cynically about Ouri's "real nature". Only Ouri can see it, even though every character is aware of the supernatural. Creepy. the cat is really part of Ouri's self, since souls permanently leave this world upon death. So it's an Uncatty Resemblance. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Corpse Princess (Manga) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: All Shikabane have two forms; an (almost) perfectly human-like one and a far more monstrous one that they typically need to turn into to make full use of their powers, though they are often still supernaturally powerful even in human form. Shikabane Hime are implied to be locked into their human forms as part of the ritual that turns them from Shikabane into Shikabane Hime. Ouri gets one when the Shiryo created by his mother merge with him near the end of Kuro, giving him a form akin to a monstrous, pseudo-bipedal, quasi-dragon creature made of black gunk and covered in staring eyes and gaping, fang-filled mouths. | |
