The opener sets the tone for the series with an exuberant musical number, while each episode wraps up with an enthusiastic closer. The lively musical score keeps events hopping right along with gentler orchestrated numbers when focusing on Shiori and more energetic and often synthesized numbers during action scenes. The most impressive aspect of the scoring is that it doesn't seem to repeat itself within the first volume, but it also doesn't strike a single wrong note in its support of the tone of various scenes. Its only negative is that it's a little too loud at times when serving as background music to conversations. Even so, this would be a soundtrack worth purchasing.

Extras on this volume include only company trailers, a textless opener, and a rather limited art gallery, although the inclusion of five episodes in this volume makes up for that. All the extras are available from the main menu screen, a somewhat unusual approach. Setup options included a separate “English With Subtitles” option in addition to regular dub and “Japanese With Subtitles” options, and all roles which have an English vocalist credited (not all of them do) have the English and Japanese performers listed together under the character name.

While lamenting over having nearly bitten Kenta in a berserker fit caused by holding her blood in for too long, Karin finally comes to the realization that what everyone else has been saying is true: she really is in love with Kenta. When Maki makes an auspicious first visit to Karin's house to help her with a last-minute homework cram session, Maki indirectly spills her guts about her own feelings involving Karin and Winner, although thick-headed Karin completely fails to interpret the situation correctly. Life soon becomes much more complicated for Karin when Elda, her look-alike grandmother, awakens from a long sleep, much to the consternation of Karin's siblings and mother Carrera. Elda's visits to Karin's school as it prepares for the cultural festival stirs up trouble for Karin and leave her concerned about Kenta's safety, especially after hearing Elda's own sorrowful tale about how vampire/human relationships don't work.

Of all the first-run titles whose American DVD releases were suspended mid-run by the Geneon fiasco in the autumn of 2007, this adaptation of the manga known in the States as Chibi Vampire was arguably hurt the worst. Unlike the other series, which were generally either at break points or just starting into new story arcs, volume 3 of Karin ended solidly in the middle of its main story and with something of a cliffhanger. Funimation resuming its release, complete with a rerelease of the first three volumes, finally rectifies that problem. The series is hardly a masterpiece, but taken for what it is – an unusual twist on a standard teen romantic comedy – it works quite well.

Actually, labeling this a “romantic comedy” is, at times, a misnomer, as through this block of episodes the storytelling takes itself seriously more often than not. It never turns dark, or stoops to melodrama, but the comical spurts have become less frequent. They are still fully effective, however, and the introduction of Elda offers a wealth of new opportunities for good jokes. In fact, Elda's appearance in episode 15 is perfectly-timed in general, as it energizes the story before its “I like him, but I can't admit that even to myself” routine fully passes its freshness date. A properly mischievous character is one thing that the story has been lacking, and Elda certainly offers that. Her presence also allows a convenient excuse to seamlessly work in more vampire background information – and pay careful attention to the backstory Elda tells in episode 16, as its details will become particularly relevant in future volumes.

Humor is not the only thing the series has in its favor. Once you strip off the vampire trappings, a typical romantic scheme involving timid leads, a kinda-sorta romantic rival, a busybody friend, and a compelling reason to separate the two potential lovers remains, yet despite the banal construction the romantic hijinks stay involving. The Karin-Kenta relationship, and Maki's budding jealously over it, has a sweetness and sincerity to it that, with the backing of a nicely supporting musical score, allows the romantic story to transcend its structure. The tentativeness in the key relationship can occasionally get irritating, but that does not happen much in this volume.

And then there's the fan service, which continues to ramp up in concentration by including multiple near-nude scenes and considerable breast size-related content. J.C. Staff's artistry and animation is almost invariably at its best in such scenes, apparently showing where the studio's priorities lie. Otherwise the artistic quality is somewhat erratic, with character designs looking sharp in places and a bit rougher in others. The backgrounds always look cheap by comparison, but the animation actually does not fare badly. The only new design is Elda's, which looks like Karin with longer, alternate-colored hair and a considerably less well-developed bosom. For further variety she normally dresses quite differently and generally sports a smug smirk, a stark contrast to the more fragile and frequently panic-stricken Karin. The ever-changing eye catches do showcase some additional visual creativity, but devoting that extra effort to the regular artistry would have been appreciated more.

Shura no Toki
DVD 1: Age of Chaos
This first volume packs five action-heavy episodes full of typical samurai posturing and warriors getting soundly thrashed. The spotlight alternates between Yakumo and Miyamoto, each of which gets his fair share of lead time and butt-kicking opportunities, though Miyamoto does it with his sword and Yakumo does it with swift, precision martial arts moves. Yakumo's light-hearted, free-spirited personality is strongly reminiscent of another lovable simpleton, Dragon Ball Z's Goku, and contrasts sharply with the more serious, focused, and conceited Miyamoto. Both are equally shallow and straightforward in their portrayals, however. Iori is your typical spunky samurai wannabe, albeit a remarkably perceptive one, who does a bit of fighting and would do a lot more if he were more capable. Though she doesn't do any actual fighting in this volume, Shiori gets a good share of the screen time as the girl who was always raised as a boy and so doesn't know how to behave or feel as a woman, which gets her completely flustered when she starts to fall in love with Yakumo. She is the one main character who has shown any degree of depth so far, and the storytelling is always at its best when focused on her. Otherwise the main reason for the existence of the series seems to be to deliver rousing action scenes—although admittedly the first volume does that quite well.

Corpse Princess
DVD - Part 1
It used to be so rare for the dead to come back to life and hunt the living, but unfortunately for the Kogun Sect, these superpowered zombies, known as shikabane, are on the rise again. When a person dies with strong regrets, otherworldly powers can seize their troubled corpses and bring them back to life as twisted, rotting immortals who despise and hunt the living. Thankfully, the Kogun Sect has a weapon against the shikabane: other shikabane who have made pacts with their monks and become “shikabane-hime” who will be forgiven their spite in both lives and accepted into heaven if they destroy 108 walking corpses in the name of the order, for only the living dead can kill their own kind.

One corpse princess, Makina Hoshimura, couldn't care less about getting into heaven, but holds a personal grudge against the gang of shikabane that resigned her to her fate: the Seven Stars. Her contracted monk, Keisei, assists her in her revenge for his own reasons, while his younger brother Ouri becomes fascinated with Makina and haunted by the world she is bound to by death.

The first volume of Shura no Toki isn't top-class anime, but it's good enough and interesting enough to warrant a look if you're into fighting-oriented and/or action-oriented anime. It has just enough romantic elements and historical context to have broader appeal than just action fans, though one should never forget that it is first and foremost a martial arts series. Don't let the severe cover fool you, though, and while the packaging says 13+, I feel that is too restrictive—it is clean enough and light enough that it could probably be safely shown to anyone age 10 and over.

The English dub left me with mixed feelings. Both the casting and performances are adequate and would probably satisfy dub-favoring fans, but in general the Japanese vocals are a little smoother. The English script takes a few more liberties than it needs to, which occasionally shifts the tone or attitude of something a character says and sometimes eliminates a character's declaration of who they are. This is also the second AnimeWorks title I have run across recently (Iczer-One being the other one) which fails to provide any English vocals during a review segment at the beginning of an episode (episode 5 in this case). What's up with that, AnimeWorks? It's very unprofessional.

Shura no Toki

The character designs used are clean, simple, and obviously digitally-rendered, with a style strongly reminiscent of other anime series which skew towards younger audiences. Of the four main characters, all except Miyamoto are appealing designs. The artists tried to make him look a bit scruffy, which doesn't translate well into artistry of this style. (The historical Miyamoto was believed to have been less than diligent about his personal hygiene, so likely this was a legitimate attempt to portray him accurately.) Of supporting cast members, the most notable design is of Princess Yuki, who appears in episodes 4 and 5 wearing a striking red kimono and offers up an even more impressively-designed kimono to Shiori at one point in episode 5. The quality of background artistry varies wildly from scene to scene, with some scenes featuring very well-rendered digital designs (the artistry of sliding panels in the princess's home is particularly sharp) and others using what looks like amateurish water colors. The overall color scheme is very bright and cheery, a marked contrast to the drab surroundings normally depicted in period pieces. The animation adequately supports the fight scenes, which use some common stylistic gimmicks but are remarkably well-detailed for the genre. This certainly isn't top-end animation, but it does the job well enough.

Shura no Toki
DVD 1: Age of Chaos
Based on references in the first episode, Shura no Toki takes place sometime after 1610, a time period frequently used as the setting for samurai action series. The story is infused with enough actual historical figures and period circumstances to qualify as a work of historical fiction, but it is of a completely different style than Otogi Zoshi, the other major current historical fiction series. Whereas that one takes a more dramatic and artsy look at the events of its time period, Shura no Toki is much more a pure samurai/martial arts action series with a little dash of romance thrown in for good measure. I also get the impression from the style of the production and minimal amount of bloodletting that this one is aimed at much younger audiences than the more graphic and mature Otogi Zoshi.

Shura no Toki
DVD 1: Age of Chaos
Early during the Edo period, the paths of four individuals intersect. One is the legendary swordsman Mushashi Miyamoto, who constantly seeks the greatest challenge. He comes to the aid of Kisshoumaru, a young Master who is being sought by agents of an uncle who wants him out of the line of inheritance, but declines an offer to become the young Master's bodyguard. Instead he recommends a nearby young man named Yakumo Mutsu, who seems a simpleton but in whom Miyamoto senses great strength. Yakumo, it turns out, is in fact a practitioner of the legendary unarmed fighting technique known as the Mutsu Enmei Style, which makes him nearly invincible in a fight. Kisshoumaru is not all he seems, either. He is in fact really Shiori, a daughter raised as a son to take on the family inheritance, and her encounter with Yakumo leaves an indelible impression. The last of the four is Iori, the young “apprentice” to Miyamoto, who ultimately crosses paths with both Yakumo and Shiori. Miyamoto is also intent on finding Yakomo once again, for in realizing the young man's true ability he also recognizes a foe truly worthy of him.
