In episode four of Fena: Pirate Princess, Fena bonds with Shitan over Yukimaru, starts learning multiple forms of combat from her crewmates, has a rather disturbing and cryptic dream, and learns that the mysterious stone in her possession only houses more head-scratching mysteries when she learns who commissioned its creation.

In episode three of Fena: Pirate Princess, it’s pirates vs samurai when Fena finds a lead to the mystery of the stone while out shopping for more appropriate sea-faring attire in the free city of Bar-Baral and runs into some violent trouble immediately after.

There’s always something about pirates that sparks a deep sense of joy in many people. It’s a topic that comes loaded with preconceptions of adventure, comradery, rebellion, and treasure — an excellent fantasy to loose yourself in. As such, it’s no wonder that Fena: Pirate Princess has garnered the initial attention it’s received and as of the anime’s premiere, I think Fena has deserved its praise.
