History Manga / PrincessResurrection

* {{Fanservice}}: Besides blood, the [=OVAs=] are packed to the brim with MaleGaze and [[{{Gainaxing}} breast bouncing,]] though they also include some FemaleGaze in the 3rd OVA.

* FurAgainstFang
* FutureBadass: Hiro.
* GagBoobs, {{Gainaxing}}: Sawawa and Silvia.

* OnceAnEpisode: Hime kills [[MonsterOfTheWeek something]] with [[WeaponOfChoice something]].

* WeaponOfChoice: Both played straight and subverted. Hiro usually prefers an axe (and you can bet he knows how to use it!). Hime, on the other hand seems to find a new weapon for each occasion: rapier, chainsaw, pistol, hammer, chandelier... (no, I am not making this up!)
** Her standby tends to be a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw,]] though.
*** [[GunsAkimbo Chainsaws Akimbo]], even.

* MagicSkirt: Hime, no matter what she's doing, no matter how precarious the situation, or even how undignified the position she winds up in (like thrown over an android's should, for instance), she will never fall victim to PantyShot. Reiri, on the other hand...

** Played with with Riza's skirt. Though we haven't seen anything, she's had two PantyShots observed in-universe.

* PantyShot: Reiri again, mostly whenever she takes flight.
** Riza, accidentally, to Hiro.
** Francesca gives a particularly nice one in chapter 35.

* VerbalTic: Flandre and all of her siblings, Francisca, Francette, Flanders ([[TheSimpsons NOT that Flanders]]) and Franz: Hooba ('Fuga' in the original).

* In one episode, while driving along the road, Riza, Hime, and Hiro encounter a bridge that is out, its girders twisted upward towards the road, reminiscent of the bridge being out in ''Film/EvilDead''.

* EpicFlail: Hime [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-8/19/ uses a flail]] to fight werewolves.

* ItsAllMyFault: Reiri tricks Hiro and bites him. Riza chases after Reiri. When Reiri escaped Riza and Hime told her that Hiro could die, she screamed [[http://www.mangareader.net/1608-50312-27/princess-resurrection/chapter-7.html this phrase]].

** Exemplified in these [[http://www.mangareader.net/1608-51685-30/princess-resurrection/chapter-41.html two]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/1608-51685-31/princess-resurrection/chapter-41.html pages.]]

* SceneryPorn: The [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/kaibutsu_oujo/v16/c076/15.html alien infestation of chapter 76]] is breathtaking.

** Sherwood has a bunch of Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms references, ranging from her [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/21/ Zhuge Liang fan]] to the [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/40/ sworn pandahood]].
** The recharging station Flandre uses [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-4/04/ here]] is remarkably similar to the ones used by [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Borg]].

** The [[http://www.mangareader.net/princess-resurrection/57/36 whale bus]] of chapter 57 may be lifted from [[http://publicdomainreview.org/2012/06/30/france-in-the-year-2000-1899-1910/ a series of pictures]] from 1899-1910 imagining France (and the rest of the world) in the year 2000 (the last image in particular).

** Another one from [[http://www.mangareader.net/princess-resurrection/70/4 chapter 70]] will seem familiar to fans of Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}.

** Which leads into some [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-17/24/ rather odd conversations]] between the androids.

* [[WhamEpisode Wham Chapter]]: [[http://www.mangareader.net/princess-resurrection/56 Chapter 56]] [[spoiler: Emil was turned into a blood warrior by Silvia and ends up killed. His whole guard has been decimated and his mermaid given away to serve Silvia.]]

''Princess Resurrection'' (in Japanese ''Kaibutsu Oujo'', meaning Monster Princess) is a supernatural manga published in Shonen Sirius by Yasunori Mitsunaga which was adapted as an anime by Creator/{{Madhouse}}. The story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Hiro Hiyorimi who is hit by a truck at the start of the series. He is killed, but revived by the master of the maid driving the truck, a mysterious woman simply referred to as "the Princess" ("Hime"). Through her blood he becomes a nigh-immortal servant under her command, though he must periodically drink it again to preserve his new existence.

An OVA of Princess Resurrection was later [[http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/kaibutsu/ announced]] in 2010 and much to the delight of the fans, it was more faithful to the manga (both visually and tonally), had much better animation and all of the blood was retained.

The series eventually ended in February 2013 after eight years of serialization with 87 chapters and 19 volumes worth of material. In November 2017, a sequel series named Princess Resurrection Nightmare was released, appearing to feature the cast sometime after the end of the first series.

** DeadlyDecadentCourt

* HyperspaceMallet: Various articles in Hime's arsenal of often-unconventional weapons.

* LesbianVampire: Reiri, although she might [[BiTheWay swing both ways]].

** EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Oh yes. Three of them.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Most noticeably Hime, but also Sherwood and Silvia.

* {{Kuudere}}: Hime. Stoic and cool-headed but not above helping or saving her subjects. Excluding Severin, the affection she displays to her siblings is also genuine.

An OVA of Princess Resurrection was later [[http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/kaibutsu/ announced]] in 2010 and much to the delight of many fans, it was more faithful to the manga and all of the blood was retained.

* TraintopBattle:

An OVA of Princess Resurrection has been [[http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/kaibutsu/ announced.]] It seems this time there will be blood.

''Princess Resurrection'' (alternatively titled ''Kaibutsu Oujo'', meaning Monster Princess) is a supernatural manga published in Shonen Sirius by Yasunori Mitsunaga which was adapted as an anime by Creator/{{Madhouse}}. The story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Hiro Hiyorimi who is hit by a truck at the start of the series. He is killed, but revived by the master of the maid driving the truck, a mysterious woman simply referred to as "the Princess" ("Hime"). Through her blood he becomes a nigh-immortal servant under her command, though he must periodically drink it again to preserve his new existence.

** [[spoiler: FutureBadass: His older self actually comes out of nowhere and saves Hime from getting killed by Silvia, easily beating her subordinates in the process. Considering how Silvia seems to be on top of everything, him actually throwing her off guard is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]

The series eventually ended in February 2013 after eight years of serialization with 87 chapters and 19 volumes worth of material.

* WeAREStrugglingTogether: After Dr. Franken explains to the [[{{BigScrewedUpFamily}} BigRoyallyScrewedUpFamily]] that there is a BiggerBad and they must fight it together, this trope is enacted in full force.

** Sherwood has a bunch of RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms references, ranging from her [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/21/ Zhuge Liang fan]] to the [[http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/40/ sworn pandahood]].

** In chapter 72, there's mention of a [[CthulhuMythos Shoggoth]] and what appears to be a [[StarWars Saarlac.]]

** Chapter 70 has a [[SilentHill2 Pyramid Head]] CaptainErsatz.

* MonsterMash: Practically every known monster in the book and then some. One chapter even dealt with [[InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers ''pod people''.]])

* BigBallOfViolence: Riza and Reiri get into one in a FunnyBackgroundEvent

* ActionGirl: Hime and Riza Wildman. Reiri and Nakua too, when they actually bother.

** EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses
*** BadassPrincess: Oh yes. Three of them.
