DVD Reviews of The Complete Shamanic Princess

DVD Review: Beautiful artwork and a different type of Magical Girl title
Summary: 4 Stars

Shamanic Princess is a unique series in itself, in that the first 4 episodes are focused around a main plot, while the last two are sort of a "prelouge" to those 4. Strangely enough, this seems to work with this anime series. I, personally, feel that if this series had been shown in chronological order, interest would've been lost, 'thus creating a fan following to be lost. While it does make things confusing at first, just don't think about things so hard as you're watching it. It's nothing really that difficult to grasp, just something you'll have to "ride through" as you watch it. Besides, it's a one deal DVD, all of the episodes are featured on it, so you don't have to worry about buying another DVD volume if you are one of those types to finish what you start watching.

As always with Clamp, the artwork is just absolutely stunning. I know some people hate Clamp's work, with the large eyes and such, but I find it gorgeous. While they only did the character designs for this series, I'm sure if any other artist had done this series it would have lacked what effect the series creates.

In short, if you love a darker themed "magical girl"(altho' Shamanic Princess isn't really you're typcial "magical girl" anime) anime, or if you absolutely love Clamp, it is strongly recommended. Otherwise I'd say at least give it a rental try, or a borrowed try. See if ya like it.
