A scientist known as Dr. Akamashi launches a coup d'état in the Forland Kingdom using his army of beasts and two android minions. With his dying breath, the king tells his daughter, Princess Alita, to escape at all cost and find Prince Kaito - her older brother who's currently on a diplomatic mission abroad - in order to guarantee her own safety and possibly take back the kingdom.
As Alita flees, however, she ends up in a predicament that results in her dying and swapping bodies with Falis, an infamous bounty hunter who happened to be out hunting in a nearby forest together with her monster sidekicks, Dominikov and Pete. With the two women retaining their respective skills and personalities but changing appearances, Alita, now in Falis's body, begs her to go back to her kingdom and make things right, offering her body and soul as collateral - to which Falis, now in Alita's body, agrees, leading to the birth of the so-called Murder Princess, who ends up not only having to take back and protect the kingdom, but also, unravel a much deeper intrigue that soon unfolds.

Where it came from
Murder Princess was produced by studio Bee Train and released as a six-part original video animation series throughout 2007. It is based on the manga series by Sekihiko Inui, which follows a princess and a bounty hunter who undergo a soul-swapping incident after a royal coup. The production emerged during a period when Bee Train was exploring high-concept action narratives, blending fantasy elements with the studio's characteristic focus on character-driven drama.
The adaptation was directed by Tomoyuki Kurokawa, who aimed to translate Inui's stylized action sequences into a fluid animation format. While the series received mixed reviews for its compressed pacing necessitated by the short episode count, it remains a notable example of mid-2000s action anime. Its design choices reflect a commitment to the aesthetic conventions of the era, focusing on distinct character silhouettes and dynamic, fast-paced choreography.
