Crunchyroll and Adult Swim announced quite a bit of new information about their upcoming series Fena: Pirate Princess.
The series follows Fena Houtman “as she is on the run from pirates and the English Navy and must rely on a crew of Japanese samurai to unlock her family secrets…and an unimaginable treasure!”
A new trailer gives you a better idea.
Take a look.
Along with the trailer we got a new piece of key art as well.
Check that out below.
The official description for the series reads, “Fena Houtman remembers little about her childhood. Orphaned and raised as a servant in a brothel, her life changes when she escapes to an island of pirates where she discovers the truth behind her family.”
It concludes, “With Fena being the only one able to unlock her family’s secrets, and a formidable crew of female pirates on her tail, she must take her place as captain of her Samurai crew for a high seas adventure!”
Along with this new trailer, key art, and description a number of character designs were also revealed as the series was featured as a Work in Progress series during a panel at Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France.
Attending the panel was the series’ director Kazuto Nakazawa and producer Rui Kuroki.
Nakazawa discussed his inspiration for the series. He stated, “It made me want to make an anime with a flavor of Shojo manga in it.”
And he also noted that while the series features plenty of action and adventure “it is basically a love story.”
