@@fsung1519 It's not that, it just felt rushed, and even if they planned to continue the stories with movies, they could have given us a more conclusive ending in case for some reason the movies ended up being canceled. It's not like a manga adaptation where fans can just read the manga if there's no continuation.
5 reasons 1. Having a Spy anime is a rare experience. 2. Music is composed by Kajiura Yuki 3. Animation wise is really good 4. The director really did a good job in this anime 5. Characters has great and unique personalities.
I also love how in the recently releases dub they all have strong English accents, instead of “generic” (I don’t like that word in this context but couldn’t think of a better one) American dub voices. Not really relevant to the character designs, just thought it was interesting as I e never seen this done with a dub before.
I'm personally mixed on the dub. I also like that they have them proper English accents, but at the same time there are points in it where I feel the VAs are almost holding back with their performance becuase they're trying to keep the accent in tact. But maybe I've also just watched the sub too much. :P
I know right! When I heard it was getting a dub my first thought was "oh, those generic american accents are going to ruin the immersion" but then I watched the first episode dubbed and I was blown away.
Never really paid THAT much attention to how intricate the character designs really were, which might be due to the fact that the characters were so well designed and felt so colorful that I took it for granted, but damn, yeah, I think what you're saying is spot on and I'm now seeing just how much effort was put to make this world feel lived in and it all pays to help with the overall construct of Princess Principal.
Princess Principal is such an incredible show. Also, you might disagree with me for this, but I personally love the English dub. The voice actresses have portrayed the accents really well.
The hair details were really fascinating, especially because Dorothy is literally letting her hair down during missions, i.e. being incredibly relaxed and carefree, though obviously still with the intent to maintain her cover.
Princess Principal character designs, as well as their outfits, are the second point why I like the anime. The OST and its OP is the main reason I watch it.
1:00 don't know about you, but "brown hair" in anime character designs tend to show a person of a lower-to-middle class origins for me. They don't always are, but the darker and more generic the overall designs are, the more true it tends to be.
I absolutely loved this anime, with Tsuki ga Kirei were my favourite from last year. The style, character personalities and designs, structure of the storytelling and plot, it was great and interesanting. I really hope to see more from it.
Holy shit yes! I completely agree, glad to know someone else who is as invested in the world of smoky london as I am. This show is a work of art. I’d like to mention how well the music fits and ties into the whole narrative and setting(and that really cute ED too) I’ll also mention how the dub puts in extra effort(with the english accents) to fit into the shows setting, really makes everything more perfect (except beatrice VA, feels abit off) Overall my most favourite show of 2017
This season in 2018 we got “release the spyce” a spy themed anime featuring cute girls as well. After seeing the first episode, I am reminded what direction princess principal could have gone in(cutesy moe tropes), as was really glad it didn’t go into. Take the last episode for example, a beach scene, yes. But its different from most other beach scenes by the design of beach outfits the characters don(0:13, you’ll see what I mean). It chooses this route,(I feel) to be more historically accurate(in the OP I recall seeing a few names credited under “researchers”) and that makes me respect and love this show even more.
I have to say, initially I found the anime confusing because of the they didn’t really tell you that the rest of the episodes came before the first episode. but once I understood what was going on I fell in love with the show. The side characters like the girls from the laundromat arc felt so alive and real, and not to mention the setting of a steampunk dark london felt very immersive for a spy show.
They do tell you though. If I remember correctly, they precede each episode with a case number and if you look at the numbers, they're not chronological.
Always love to see people talking about Princess Principal :D such a good show, such good characters and an awesome world. and dayum i totally missed that they get 6 movies :O thanks for informing me :D
I think the animator just want a realistic hair color because so far in the series there no one with multiple hair color and also angie hair is not plain grey is blonde grey because of her past but what you say about how they pick for their design is correct
I forgot about this anime, being a casual. So, I legit thought this was going to be an analysis about a trope or something like that called the "princess principal" lol. But I think I'll loop around to check it again cause I did like what I saw, thanks for reminding me.
This anime is one of my favourites. There are so many twists in the story, sometimes it makes you think. Personally, i think that the biggest one is the current princess was not the real princess and her age is different than what we was told about her(think she was 14 or so)
I really get your point about the sencondaty characters, I think that one of the elements that usually ruins Isekai anime for example, is the fact that it looks like any other character can't exist on its own without the main hero around.
I absolutely loved the soundtrack of Made in Abyss, and I enjoyed the series a lot, but I don’t think it clicked with me near as much as it seemed to do with a lot of other people. It could be because it’s so open-ended, or maybe because of some of the really uncomfortable scenes, but while I can appreciate it a lot, and again I love Kevin Penkin’s soundtrack, I just don’t think I could ever count it as a favourite. Princess Principal on the other hand is a show I might end up putting on my favourites list, although I only watched it recently so it’s hard to tell. I can’t wait for those sequel movies whenever they finally get made. It’s a shame they got delayed, but as long as it helps keep people safer and they do get made I don’t mind how long they take.
I actually think it was the best show of last year. Edging out Made in Abyss in how it played as a cohesive whole in mixing all its elements, not for having a few episodes that worked well to make up for the rest, but individual ones. The morgue episode worked so well with a setting of a Victorian morgue, drama that is not in place of unrealistic that it could happen in real life, moral complexity, and atmosphere that the end in the pub really stuck with me. Sure Made in Abyss' last episode will truly stick with with impact, but how many other episodes had that effect? Maybe the one with the Orb piercer, or Oxen explaining the birth? But every episode of Princess Principal had a twist that really revealed a new dimension to a character, in what they have been through, and how they are willing to act, and not feel inconsistent.
It’s still amazing how two great animes are getting movies. Made in Abyss is getting another movie in Jan. 2020 and The Princess principle movie is coming out in 2019 (dunno the release date yet)
I came across it early in '18 & thoroughly enjoyed the premis , turn of the century female 'james bond' spies, btw the last scene at series end is obviously a homage to the 'bond' films. Thanks waiting for the dvd box set in november.
This is a hell lot better than made in abyss. MiA got a pass because it had a single more impactful scene and a more mystical feel that naturally make people go gaga over it, while this is a lot more grounded and has to stand on its own merits.
Great video. I love how you honestly described why this anime should be watched. However, I am not interested as the themes of the anime are not of my tastes since it involves deception and some specific themes of killing. But great video!
@@raphaelgomi5875 I have seen it, and it's definitely up there for anime of last year. I'd probably put it at 5th. 1: Land of the Lustrous 2: Princess Principal 3: Interviews with Monster Girls 4: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid 5: Made In Abyss
@@Shirker12 Fair enough^^ land of the lustrous is definitely one of the next shows i am gonna be watching, somehow still didn't get to it. Having high expectations and am really hyped. Btw. i am going around suggesting it, because to me Made In Abyss was the most perfectly directed and animated i've ever seen. and my very favourite.
Welp... I am a little upset at myself for not double checking that. Haha. Thanks for the clarification. Though I might have honestly kept it only because I don't know how many people would have known the term Edwardian.
The biggest problems with Princess Principal that the story surrounding the main characters lack the proper resolutions and internal tensions except at the very bloody end of the show, the rest the show in itself deserve way more recognition, especially when they're an original anime production in itself Also the steampunk setting in late 19th Century notLondon is cool I guess so yeah it's a bit lower on the note than Sounds of the Sky but it's cool
I think it's mostly the clips I showed. Plenty of the male characters are varried in design. That being said the focus is on the 5 of them so the amount of male presence in the show is fairly low.
Unpopular opinion: i didnt like made in abyss... I hung on for about 6 episodes and i couldnt torture myself anymore - i had to stop watching it. It was boring and i didnt understand what everyone was so hyped about
What sold me the most about it was the ending. Also I love the atmosphere of the show and the OST is just amazing. I think they just did everything right; characters, soundtrack, writing and art all work very well together.
I mean that's fine but why did you even pick it up then? Plus Dorothy is 20 and the rest are 16 or 17. So it's not like they're elementary school spies. Plus they don't really act like frilly little girls or engage in typical cute girls doing cute things shenanigans.
@@TazerLad I always try stuff, I've been surprised before, Made in the abyss is an example of that. I'm not into moe art and the Character are kids. But here this wasn't for me, the combination of genres were kinda random imo. The girls, the Shounen action and how they played the spy role is not good for me. Oh I forgot, the Steampunk stuff was also something that made me give ir a chance.

The most underrated series of last year. The only thing I didn't like about it was how it ended.
You've captured my thoughts exactly in but two sentences.
This year,there will be a movie version
@@fsung1519 It's not that, it just felt rushed, and even if they planned to continue the stories with movies, they could have given us a more conclusive ending in case for some reason the movies ended up being canceled.

I'm glad it's continuing through Movies
5 reasons
1. Having a Spy anime is a rare experience.
2. Music is composed by Kajiura Yuki
3. Animation wise is really good
4. The director really did a good job in this anime
5. Characters has great and unique personalities.
Also one of the best openings ever. The song itself is 🔥.
And the Characters are pretty good
Ange's hair is grey because she's obviously from the Lizard Planet.
if that was true, wouldn't her hair be black?

@@thomasthetanderloin if that was true...
Holy shit! Someone made a video of this show? I got sad when nobody seemed to pay attention to it because of Anime Strike.
I also love how in the recently releases dub they all have strong English accents, instead of “generic” (I don’t like that word in this context but couldn’t think of a better one) American dub voices.

Yeh same, the voices sometimes feel a little to forced but overall it’s simultaneously hilarious to listen to and actually quite good.

"best assets" as Dorothy comes into frame. Don't think I didn't notice.
The dub just came out and it's pretty decent yo. Everyone's got ridiculously posh English accents and it's everything I didn't know I wanted.
DoctuhD I still prefer the sub
HOLY SHIT YES
Ah, a man of culture.
The dub rules.
The accents were awesome! You don't see that a lot
this and Houseki no Kuni, two great shows that got under ther radar of last year. Great video mate
Land of the Lustrous wasn't exactly buried as much as PP in this case. It is at least by far the best full CGI series to have come out last year.
Im glad your trying to show this show off it deserves so much more than it has!

MAN I LOVE PRINCESS PRINCIPAL THE YURI IS SECOND MOST WHOLESOME OF ALL ANIME

I was expecting a cute girls doing cute things show, but it was much more and the setting was very unique.

I don't think we will ever see something as good as this. It will be a sad day when it ends.
That dis though. Some one get her some ice.
"Maybe I should reconsider?" was my favorite line in the entire show. And what great comic timing by her seiyuu, Sekine Akira.
I'm glad you love this series that much. I hope more people check it out now that Sentai released a dub

This show was amazing and I’m hyped that we are getting the sequel films to hopefully tie the series better than the finale for the show.
the dub for this is so much better than the sub
cut to the chase an straight to the point .. i like your review

Do you think I used the time right in this video?
God I love the opening song for this show.
I really enjoyed this show, and I'm sad so many people missed it, but it was nowhere near Made in Abyss for me. That show made my top 10, easy.
Yeah, Made in Abyss deserved anime of the year.
I teared up in ep 13 when the bunny girl said goodbye to her friend. Made in abyss is hands down amazon best anime.
This is a hell lot better than made in abyss. MiA got a pass because it had a single more impactful scene and a more mystical feel that naturally make people go gaga over it, while this is a lot more grounded and has to stand on its own merits.

Nice, sounds like you have purchased a new mic since the Cells at Work Comparison video.
Funny thing is I haven't... it is the same Mic. Though I did record them in two different locations, so maybe that has something to do with it.
The best thing about the show is the uptight British accent in the dub.
Everything, thats what.
spy girls with moe designs,hell yeah...….
Dorothy is best girl .

You could also say Victorian as although it's the 20th century it's most likely 1900-1903 so it's more Victorian then edwardian
