On the visual side, Crown Handler – Chapter 1 continues expertly bringing the Victorian steampunk world of Princess Principle to life. We see everywhere from dirty, inner-city streets and shops to countryside villas and high-class parties. The film's main action scene—a jailbreak followed by a car chase—is a joy to watch. As for the soundtrack, while most of it is your average Princess Principle fare, the new big band-style opening by Void_Chords certainly stands out.


It was a nice review, but spelling the title wrong multiple times is rather...

This came out over 2 years ago, and has been available in the US for some time now, how come it's only getting reviewed now?

I guess they didn't think it was important enough to review. Having said that I'll say that Princess Principal is one of my very favorite series from the last couple of years.

Thanks for the review Smile

I'm planning to wait for the whole series to be out before I start it though. Don't want to wait months or years between chapters.

Crown Handler 2 was made available on HiDive not too long ago, so I imagine this is catching up.

And of course Crown Handler 3 finally came out in Japan recently. I wonder when we'll get that.

the last two had 3 and 5 month lags, respectively, so I'd expect HIDIVE to have it sometime late summer.

Basically, the third film is currently running in Japan. So I figured since we didn't have reviews of the first two films, I'd do those first.

Makes sense, thank you for explaining.

I'm looking forward to watching these films whenever I get around to them. The anime series for this was a very pleasant surprise.
