Undead Murder Farce

Undead Murder Farce is a supernatural mystery anime that blends fantasy, crime, and the uncanny into a distinctive narrative experience. Based on the original novel by Ao Aosaki, the series is produced by Lapin Track under the direction of Shinichi Omata, with series composition handled by Chiaki Konaka. Featuring Tsugaru Shinuchi, Aya Rindou, and Shizuku Hasei at the center of the story, this TV anime delivers a stylish fusion of genres that stands out in the mystery and fantasy landscape.

Set in 19th-century Europe, Undead Murder Farce unfolds in a world where supernatural beings — vampires, golems, werewolves, and more — exist alongside humanity. At the center of this dark and fantastical era is Aya Rindou, an immortal young woman whose existence comes with a peculiar twist: she lives as a disembodied head, yet her brilliance remains fully intact. Known by the title "The Cage User," she works as a detective specializing in paranormal cases, accompanied by her devoted maid Shizuku Hasei and the formidable Tsugaru Shinuchi, a half-human, half-demon swordsman with the fearsome reputation of a "Demon Killer." Together, this unlikely trio journeys across Europe, unraveling mysteries that the ordinary world cannot explain. Beyond her detective work, Aya Rindou carries a deeply personal mission — to reclaim her missing body. The series blends mystery and supernatural fantasy into a thrilling cross-continental adventure.
