Lady DeathSet in 15th Century Sweden, Hope, the beautiful daughter of Matthias, believed to be a skilled mercenary, but who in actuality is Lucifer, the Lord of Lies, is accused of being the devil�s consort following a hellish incident witnessed by local villagers. Ultimately, Hope is sentenced by the town priest to be burned at the stake. Writhing in pain and unable to think clearly, she accepts Lucifer's offer of life in Hell, presented by the malevolent Pagan, over a hideously painful death. Lucifer's grand plan to corrupt a soul of pure innocence meets unanticipated resistance, as Hope rejects Lucifer's scheme and eventually, transformed into the powerful warrior Lady Death, challenges the Lord of Lies for control of Hell itself. I liked this anime, but I wasn't thrilled about it. Don't get me wrong, the anime itself is beautiful and the sound, voiceovers and music is good. It just seemed as though the creators tried to cram the entire history of the comic book series into one anime title and it leaves you with gaps and questions about the storyline. The character development leaves a lot to be desired, you find yourself asking a lot of...hey wait, who's that? This is a decent anime, but just not as complete as I'd like. The struggle and climax just isn't very strong if you don't have a connection with the characters and truly understand their struggles. I recommend this to all the comic book fans of the Lady Death series, but as for the rest of the anime community I would only watch it if you don't have anything else to watch.
