Fena: Pirate Princess announced at Adult Swim Con

Adult Swim and Crunchyroll are teaming up with Production I.G. to work on the Crunchyroll Originals anime series Fena: Pirate Princess. The upcoming 12-episode anime series will make its worldwide debut on Crunchyroll and Toonami simultaneously sometime in 2021.

In charge of the anime production is Production I.G. director Kazuto Nakazawa. He, or his manga self, appears in an interview that follows after the trailer. Nakazawa says the series takes place in the 18th century in Europe. “I’m striving to make a fantasy, adventure, action show.”

According to Crunchyroll: “Fena: Pirate Princess is a 12-episode original anime series that tells the tale of a young orphan girl, Fena Houtman. Fena has been raised on an Island where there is no hope of becoming anything more than chattel, to be used and discarded by soldiers of the British Empire. But Fena is more than just another powerless orphan. When her mysterious past comes knocking, Fena will break the chains of her oppressors. Her goal: forge a new identity, free of bondage, and search for a place where she can truly belong and find out the true mysteries behind a keyword “Eden.” It is the story of a lifetime adventure she and her crew of misfits and unlikely allies will have, in pursuit of her goals!”
