Review of Fena: Pirate Princess

I love the balance of the 18th century elements mixed with fantasy. I always enjoy a series that can balance historical places and events into its story. All the characters are well designed and feel genuine, but lack a certain depth. It introduces characters with plot lines that are never resolved or very clear. In terms of character development, I felt there was very little and the emotions and intent behind each character’s actions did not seem believable or was hard to follow. Fena herself is a very one-dimensional character; she does very little for herself and is always in need of rescue. Hopefully, you can see beyondher being the “damsel in distress”.

There were many great concepts and ideas put into this series but lacked focus to use them effectively and missed some great opportunities. Despite some of its shortcomings, I really enjoyed this anime. The relationships between the characters felt genuine, however lacked development and purpose.

Fena has a good story, amazing artwork, and a brilliant original soundtrack.
I recommend giving it a watch.
