Princess Principal English Sub & Dub

About Princess Principal

Princess Principal (プリンセス・プリンシパル) arrives as an action anime by Studio 3Hz and Actas (2017), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: The "spy action" series follows five girls in 19th century London, a city within the Albion Realm divided into east and west by a large wall. The girls serve as undercover spies enrolled as pupils at the prestigious Queen's Mayfair school.

As things develop, the girls make use of their individual abilities to remain active in the underground world of disguise, espionage, infiltration, and car chases.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Ayaka Imamura as Ange le Carré and Akari Kageyama as Beatrice. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
