Akuma Shojo: Epic Alien Princess Yuri Glitter

Akuma Shojo: Alien SkyBattlers (often shortened as Akuma Shojo) is an American animated superhero-comedy television series which originally aired as part of Teteragon’s former ANI animation block from 2007 to 2012. The series was created by Japanese-American Manga artist Amse Tanaka and developed by EnSkulled Entertainment, underneath the animation unit. It follows Cranberry, a trigger-happy alcoholic alien princess, who came to Earth with her balloon servant, Helios, on a self-guided “spiritual” mission to search for her “true nature” in life. She becomes well adapted within Earthen culture with the aid of her human caretaker, Dr. Mister, and disguises herself as an average elementary schooler to hide her true alien identity. Later on in the first season, it turns out that Cranberry is being hunted by various alien assassinators by her royal family, as she stands in their way for ultimate universal control.

Being a reboot of Tanaka’s first actual manga and anime franchise, Eirian Skybattlers, Akuma Shojo is considered a parody of its original predecessor as well a satire on anime tropes overall, especially those in the sub genre. The series ran for three seasons from May 14, 2007 to August 19, 2012, on Teteragon. It received a TV-14 rating in the United States alone, due to its densely vulgar subject matter and violence.

According to various polls on the Teteragon website, Akuma Shojo is one of top rated animated series on the channel, and holds a #15 spot on the Best Teteragon Series of All Time poll.
