9507


I am looking for an anime that had recently came out maybe in the middle of
last month. I watched this maybe around that time, but I cannot find it again
and had accidentally cleared my history on Firefox.

The synopsis of the story goes like this-

A young girl with perhaps maybe long hear, probably really noticeable eyes is
carrying a large coffin which contains a magical weapon/gun presumably similar
to perhaps weapons in the RWBY universe. This girl is the daughter of a
emperor who ruled the world in fear or tyranny or both.

In episode one from what I remember, she runs into this boy who uses some type
of hunter magic. He has a sister who also uses this same type of magic. From
what I remember this girl runs into him as she was crawling around behind
bushes trying to make her way to a town. When this boy decides to help her,
they are attacked by a deer antelope which she eventually kills. Later on she
buys this boy that helped her lunch. It so happened to be owned by his own
sister who destroys some tables in an attempt to maybe hurt him seriously for
not helping out. The girl with the coffin eventually hires them soon after for
a job, but doesn't reveal what it is she is looking for.

Later on in the episode she raids a general or very powerful adversary who was
there during the battle which defeated her father. I also remember that the
boy she runs into comes along with her including his sister. Eventually both
brother and sister encounter this man who has the ability to control anything
inside his mansion at will and maybe has physic powers too.

It may help but they refer to this adversary as a real mage which would
indicate that they may not be actual mages at all but use some type of
borrowed magic. At the end of the episode it is revealed that what she was
after was her fathers body parts so she could give him a proper burial. The
part of her father they obtained in question was the left or right hand of her
father. Before they leave the raided mansion, the man insists that it is a
source of great power, assumes that they want to sell it and in desperation is
willing to pay anything to get it back. Please note that this desperate
adversary was soundly defeated after the hand/item was taken out of this
vault. After this happened he could not call upon his physic powers. It also
was apparent that the hand powered the mansion and his magic potentially.

Finally all I can remember is that after the successful heist on the mansion,
they are encountered by a group that wants to prevent the worlds destruction.
They are then tailed by them in a truck and eventually escape in mist.

hitsugi-no-chaika
An emperors daughter who collects her dead fathers body parts?


I can't believe I found the answer in just 14mins. This is better than
expected. Thanks Maroon.

The anime I was looking for was indeed Chaika The Coffin Princess. Plot
synopsis from animenewsnetworks.com.au:

> Toru Acura is a 20-year-old retired soldier meandering through life now that
> the war has ended. He encounters Chaika Trabant, a 14-year-old sorceress
> carrying a coffin, and follows her in hopes of finding meaning to his life
> again. The two travel with Toru's adopted sister, Akari, the employed member
> of the group and thus Toru's source of income.

This most definitely is it.

I also found the girl with the coffin. Her name is Chaika. Credits to Maroon.

Yep, upon further research this sounds like [_Chaika the Coffin
Princess_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaika_-_The_Coffin_Princess). The
anime came out a month ago in Japan, so it's relatively new (so I'm not
completely sure, but [Crunchyroll](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-
news/2014/04/08-1/crunchyroll-to-stream-chaika-the-coffin-princess-anime) did
for starters also start broadcasting it online at around the same time.)

The eponymous Chaika is the daughter of [Arthur
Gaz](http://hitsugimenochaika.wikia.com/wiki/Arthur_Gaz), who apparently was
the former ruler of the Gaz Empire, according to the fan-made wiki. I haven't
seen the anime or read the light novels, so I'm not sure, but judging from the
list of names he has it seems reasonable to conclude that he was a bit of a
tyrant.

Moreover, as might be suggested by the title, Chaika carries a coffin around
most of the time. In the first episode, she runs into Toru Akura and his
sister Akari, which is consistent with your description.
