These series reminded of Claymore in the idea of armed girls slaying the unholy being. Whereas Claymores are independent, Shikabane Himes depends on their Contracted Priests as their batteries, source of Rune. While they are corpses in the inside, they still retained their beauty which throughout the series, you could see the beauty managed to infatuate their priest partner.

I personally love this series. You should download and watch too~
