Chaika -The Coffin Princess- English Sub & Dub

About Chaika -The Coffin Princess-

Chaika -The Coffin Princess- (棺姫のチャイカ) arrives as an action anime by bones (2014), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Toru Acura is a 20-year-old retired soldier meandering through life now that the war has ended. He encounters Chaika Trabant, a 14-year-old sorceress carrying a coffin, and follows her in hopes of finding meaning to his life again.

Further in, the two travel with Toru's adopted sister, Akari, the employed member of the group and thus Toru's source of income.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Chaika Trabant (Chika Anzai) and Toru Acura (Junji Majima) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
