For example, the character backgrounds and the file cases weren't repetitive, and the extra additions to background keep the viewers hooked all the time. I consider this anime very attractive and unique. The story isn't weird and doesn't need a complicated plot to capture our attention. We can't find this art quality (steampunk) in the recent original animations. The pacing, the storytelling, the art, the sound blended well and created a show that deserves to be watched and repeated in the future.įinally, the character design is stunning. Each episode left me a good sensation and entertained a lot. In summary, I have few negative aspects about this anime and are insignificant for this review. Additionally, the characters emotions evolve during the story, and we could see unexpected decisions that indicate a proper background build. I know that some of the outcomes could be predictable but not all them. On each episode, we could have more details about each character. Something I enjoyed is the extra background information given. In other words, the characters have a spy profile that works with the plot. These girls have their problems, a painful past, they have secrets, and they take their own decisions to complete an objective. She has some hidden secrets.Ĭhise has high values for her tradition and displays her unsatisfaction when she isn't considered as a useful part of the group.īeatrice is the most insecure member of the team, but her skills are convenient on every mission.įinally the Princess, she is more an actress but with a defined goal.įor me, each character is different and not generic. We don't know when she is lying or telling the truth but is a character that will give up everything for someone or the mission. In more detail, Dorothy is the leader of the group but is the one that enjoys the freedom she is more the "sempai" of all them.Īgne. Dorothy "The face," Agne "The liar," Beatrice "The voice," Chise "The stranger," and Princess "The usurper." With that original nickname, you can start guessing about their background. For me, the OP is excellent, and the ED isn't bad. The sound of each action sequence adds emotion to the plot and is played at the right time. They elaborated a complex sound mix with a delightful soundtrack. However, it isn't a reason to drop the anime. Also, the art helps a lot with the storytelling, timeline, and the possible fantastic ideas such us the use of the mineral "Cavorite." For experience, someone could find the steampunk art weird or not attractive. You can notice that some areas don't have the standard lighting because they like to create a dark ambient. The art is "steampunk." It is stunning and formidable that goes well with the color palette, the mechanical design, and the character's concept. I consider that constant additions a plus. Furthermore, each episode keeps adding information to the main arc, and the characters background. Also, the show doesn't need a sequence to connect the story. This method helps with the pacing because the story is always advancing and changing. I want to say that the storytelling focuses on "file cases" so each episode is a different mission and the principal idea (espionage) remains. One of the possible issues found in the forums and some reviews is the lack of a plot sequence that changes between some episodes. when the duty calls they transform into dangerous and very skilled spies with particular abilities. During the day, they are typical students and The spies are young girls that use their student status as a cover. The story deals with espionage in a divided nation, nothing to do with a slice of life plot. Princess Principal has a very creative plot with an impressive storytelling that could surprise a lot of spectators.

Then you could start considering any slice of life plot and girls related storytelling and few moments about spying. First, you could think that the show is about a school and girls. Princess Principal a title that could mislead any viewer.
