posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Bandai Namco Filmworks began streaming the first seven minutes for the fourth film in the six-part Princess Principal: Crown Handler sequel film series on Sunday. The film premiered in Japan on Friday. The below video has no subtitles.
Sentai Filmworks has licensed the entire six-part film series, and describes the story of the first film:
Following the attempted assassination of the Queen, manhunts for spies become a frequent occurrence within the Kingdom. In response, Control — the Commonwealth's covert operations group — begins to suspect the presence of a double agent within the Kingdom's royal family. In order to reveal the truth, Control dispatches spy ring “Team White Pigeon.” But danger lurks around every corner, and when you don't know who you can trust, being a spy has never been more perilous for Ange and the rest of Team White Pigeon.
Masaki Tachibana (Barakamon, .hack//Quantum) is returning from the previous television series to direct the films at Actas. Noboru Kimura (Gundam Build Divers, Solty Rei) is supervising and writing the scripts, instead of the television anime's Ichirō Ōkouchi (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress).
Kouhaku Kuroboshi (Kino's Journey, Sky Girls) is still credited with the original character designs, and Yukie Akiya (Celestial Method, Code:Breaker) adapted the designs for animation. However, Kimitake Nishio (Moetan, ToHeart2) is also designing characters for the films, and is credited as the sole chief animation director without Akiya. Yuki Kajiura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero) is back to compose the music with sound director Yoshikazu Iwanami.
Void_Chords feat. Yui Mugino performs the film series' opening theme "LIES & TIES," and five main cast members perform the ending theme song "Nowhere Land."
Sentai Filmworks licensed the television anime series for the summer 2017 streaming season and also for home video.
