Princess Principal somehow blends its cookie-cutter princess aesthetic with the plot of gun firing and katana-wielding spies set to topple an entire kingdom pretty well.
The series got its first anime in 2017 by Studio 3Hz, and all was calm until the studio dropped a bomb of an announcement about a six-part anime film project! The film’s first part was released back in February 2021; however, before the fans could even breathe, the studio surprised us all with an even bigger announcement.
Through Princess Principal’s official website, Studio 3Hz announced that the film’s second part would have a theatrical release on September 23rd, 2021. Additionally, a full-length trailer, key visual, and character designs were also simultaneously released.

The trailer is what you call pure hype, with many exciting events taking place one after another in such quick succession that you don’t even know where to look. The trailer starts with a glimpse at a giant spherical machine, which might be what the spy girls are after.
The video quickly moves on to gunslinging western fights and other action set pieces. We even catch Prince Richard being shot at a parade, with his guards rushing to this aid. With that, the trailer ends with shots of even more action and a crying Princess Mary.
