YMMV / Princess Resurrection

• Awesome Music: While the TV series was generally awful, the ending theme, 'Kneel Down and Lick My Feet', was awesome. Ditto for the TV series' opening "BLOOD QUEEN" by Aki Misato - it's so awesome that it makes you wish it wasn't wasted on what many regard as a generally awful adaptation.
• Complete Monster: Prince Severin, a cowardly Smug Snake, is the opponent against whom the titular princess, Hime (normally a calm, collected Lady of War), came the closest to losing her cool. Before the series even began, Severin used his necromantic powers to raise an army of zombies and sent them to kill Hime, causing her to lose all of her blood warriors, something which she still considers her greatest failure. Then, he does it again in Volume 5, infecting a whole city with a zombie plague and causing hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent victims, just to kill Hime. Unlike Hime, who genuinely cares about her blood warriors despite her outwardly cold demeanor, Severin abuses and humiliates his servants every chance he gets. Finally, he's the reason Hime hates being called by her actual name of Lilian: that's the name Severin gave to his cat, whom he tortured to death For the Evulz, so it is likely that he wanted to do the same to Hime as well.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Hime/Hiro and Reiri/Rize, sadly the manga ends without any Relationship Upgrade, but the two ships are the closest to that point.
• Magnificent Bitch: Silvia von Phoenix, the ultimate Big Bad is described by her youngest sister Sherwood as a "natural born swindler". Hellbent on winning the Royal battle, Silvia plays her own siblings endlessly, having spent her sister Hime's childhood toying with and testing her for fun and to strengthen her. Using her brilliance to stay a step ahead of her siblings and eliminating her strongest brother Emile by making him her enslaved Blood Warrior, Silvia defeats and absorbs their eldest brother Fuhito to gain his power before attempting to defeat Hime and claim victory for herself, with one Bad Future having her utterly victorious.
• Mind Game Ship: Sylvia to Hime.
• Moe: Hiro, Flandre, Mermaid and Riza, sometimes.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Arguably two - the first being the unknown mage who suggested the legs-for-voice swap to a mermaid, and used her to power his ghost-collecting ship, and the second being when Severin unleashes the Zombie Apocalypse on a town just to kill Hime.
  • Sylvia's are when she turns Emil into a blood warrior and lets him loose on his former subordinates. She also kills Hime in the Bad Future.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • There's buckets of it everywhere in this manga, but the whale bus is of the more mundane sort.
  • Hime can be more than capable of handing this out. For example, in episode 22 of the anime she and her band capture and imprison three nigh-invulnerable werewolf Blood Knights sent to assassinate her. In order to to remove them as a threat, she goes into the room where they are being held captive and shoots them with silver bullets again and again until they are no longer able to regenerate. Worst of all, she tells them right off that this is what she is planning to do, and proceeds to commence firing. For most of the night. Wow.
• The Scrappy: Hiro is absolutely detested by the fans, who can't seem to stop complaining about him being a useless coward, completely ignoring that he's just a little boy, and even despite this he acts unusually brave, but lacks the superhuman strength of everybody else. Some are willing to go so far as to imply that he's also selfish, and the only reason he's willing to risk his life for Hime is because 1) he knows he can't die and 2) if Hime dies, he loses his immortality. In the manga, however, he gets a decent amount of Character Development and Took a Level in Badass by showing what he can really do.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?: in Chapter 87, Sylvia's ginormous breasts appear to have shrunk after she lost her royal powers.
