They're all still voice acting, well except for Kerrigan Mahan, who seems to be spending his time using his voice...to endorse the greatness of Goldar. XD https://www.youtube.com/user/KerriganMahan Last edited by belvadeer on Mon Oct 08, 2018 11:06 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I remember thinking that Ange's usual "spy" outfit showed a heck of a lot leg for the time period. |

Amazon sub-licensed Princess Principal among several others from Sentai, so it will be up to Sentai (assuming they're getting the license) and the Japanese licensors about how long the wait is. Usually Amazon doesn't stream anime movies, not from their theatrical releases anyways. They may only get a movie from someone else, once it has released on home video. One example is the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress movie, which Crunchyroll licensed and premiered in theaters. Amazon only has the streaming license for the TV version currently. And this applies to other streaming services as well, so I would not expect Sentai to stream the Princess Principal sequel movies on HIDIVE until they're out on home video. |

I very much enjoyed PriPri, and thought the character twist was well done. One of the best parts was the kick-a@@ OP.

PriPri is pretty much everything I could ask for from a steampunk anime. Train chases, car chases, awesome airships, public domain Victorian science fiction concepts, class inequality, steam greeble architecture, references to Victorian literature, mostly accurate costuming, cool girls with period-accurate guns, casual racism, workers' control of the means of production, Queen Victoria in a steam powered wheelchair, England finally taking over France, etc. Not to mention, awesome OP.
The dub is great, in my opinion. Japanese dialogue occurring between Japanese people in one episode is preserved, which was a really nice touch. There are few steampunk anime and even fewer ones I think are good, so Princess Princess is a genre masterpiece in my opinion, and it's based on some kind of mobage no less. Well done, production staff.
Doesn't the Kingdom spymaster Duke of Normandy count as recurring antagonist, even if he doesn't always make an appearance in person? |

Back when Princess Principal was airing, I commented to someone that If you made a checklist of all the show's elements and asked me to mark down the ones that interested me, I'd probably end up checking every box. In spite of that, though, there was never a point at which I was either impressed or even interested in the series. Maybe it came out right at the point when I finally experienced steampunk-fatigue, or maybe my general dislike of The Prince and the Pauper-inspired stories colored my ability to enjoy the show. Maybe it was that I picked up on all of the "stuff you'll only notice the second time you watch the show" right off the bat, which made the big mid-series reveal feel extremely predictable to me. No matter what the reason was, I ended up enjoying the story a lot less than I expected.
I'm glad that people are making shows like Princess Principal, though, and I'm even more glad that Princess Principal was successful, because in general, I really enjoy shows like Princess Principal... just not this one, apparently. |

I think the Princess Principal dub might be my favorite from Sentai. Can't wait for the movies.

Awesome! Can't wait for my PE set.
Just got my Zillion set and I agree, I love it.
Yeah, the tape style box for that. LOL yes, that was hilarious with the Ninja Slayer discs. Also the faked fingerprints lol. |

I guess I will be "That Guy". Maybe I just missed something, and everyone already knows this. Here goes.
Did you know Albion is the oldest known name for the Island better known as Great Britain? There, said it. Yeah "Nation of Albion" isn't much of a stretch, eh? Everyone probably already knew this, but I couldn't help myself. Exit stage left. |

I didn't! Interesting that Japan makes so much stuff set in England. |
