About Napping Princess

Here is what Napping Princess (ひるね姫 ～知らないワタシの物語～) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, adventure and drama anime by Signal.MD (2017). What the story covers: This fender and genre-bending film takes us into the not-too-distant machine-driven future. Kokone should be diligently studying for her university entrance exams, but she just can't seem to stay awake.

Another thread: Aside from stealing precious study time, her napping is even more distracting, as it brings on peculiar dreams with warring machines that hint at family secrets that have been dormant for years. She can't ask her father, a hipster mechanic more talented and artful than his job requires, as he's always busy modifying motorcycles and cars in flights of fancy. What are these visions that lead Kokone at once closer to and farther away from her family?

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kokone Morikawa (Mitsuki Takahata) and Joy (Rie Kugimiya) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Signal.MD, so the studio's house style defines how Napping Princess looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.5/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Mitsuki Takahata voicing Kokone Morikawa gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2017, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
