Well thats it for the set up eps . Pretty much everything went as i expected . damsel-in-distress-typical-disney-FMC , brusque male character , mysterious father , etc. etc .

The comedy is done well in my opinion . i dont think this would have boded well with me if it had more towards the serious side , so i am all for the comical aspects. Hopefully it doesnt get overdone and ends up being used as plot convenience or something .

Brilliant production qualities as well . Yoshihiro sano once again showing his capabilities as BG supervisor , they looked beautiful .

I had super strong disney vibes - now I need to know, what was this 1990s disney cartoon in which it relates to? - I looked up disney pirate princess but it only has a cartoon from the 2000s and can't seem to find anything on the 90s like ya said.

So yeah, now I really wanna know lol, thanks if you can reply my dude!


Oh, I didn't mean any specific cartoon, it just feels like a generic Disney production to me.

SHE PULLED OFF BOTH HAIRSTYLES DAMNNNN pixie cut fena is so so cute

really liking the cast :D we have ray or sunshine fena, annoying all over the place twins, mom of the group, guy who just wants to make good food and quiet cold ikemen yukimaru. the guy who could handle the special bow was also really pretty hope to see him more

i cant really take the "special stone that only fena knows the answer to" seriously since it looks exactly like a glass souvenir my dad got a few years ago to me it just looks like.. rectangle glass😭

I'm already wishing for a second season because I like this so much. The haircut was so unnecessary and Yukimaru can be a little nicer to Fena. I want more, this show is definitely binge-able.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

I'm holding out hope that Otto and Salman are gonna tag along as stowaways, cuz they were fun characters and it feels like a waste to leave them behind.

Shame about Fena's hair as well, but they seem longer on the poster so perhaps they'll grow a bit later on.

The character writing in this show is incredible. The fact that I have a good understanding AND care about the entire crew after 2 episodes speaks volumes.

Enjoyed the animation.
The poor effort in humour, though, put me off from the first episode. Too light-hearted for me. Don't know if I'll keep watching it.

So many weirdo weebs on MAL.


This show sure looks nice. Gives me Yona of the Dawn and Nadia: Secret of Blue Water vibes. I just hope it gets a little more exciting. Somewhat bland so far.

i liked that Salman Saruman joke esp when the leader looks just like him lol.
Nice explained most questions in ep1. Last part Yukimaru talk, to standard hero's journey too rushed.

What are you talking about? This anime is produced by Japanese companies and created by Japanese staff. Crunchyroll only funded the project by providing them money.

Getting a very big Yona of the Dawn vibe from this anime, not that it's a bad thing, it's a great anime. This one is really good to, after having completed the first two episodes, I feel invested and interested in the show. I defiantly want to see how the story continues. Here's to hoping it's not gonna end up a mess of a show like some of the previous Crunchyroll originals have been!

Fena managed to escap but she was out for half a day.
Man, I seriously love Karin. Yuuki Aoi as her VA makes her a thousand times better.
Well, I'm in love with the atmosphere on the island. It's relaxing and wholesome.
The characters are all likeable and interesting.
The designs of the samurai's make the show so good.
Seems like she's going out on adventure to solve her Father's voyage
And I knew it, she cut her hair to show her resolve. Her last name ''Houtman'' is a german last name it means ''woodman'' in english.

The ED is chill but beautiful.

Everything is going a bit too quick and a lot of stuff feels so random but I guess I'll go with the flow and enjoy the good things.

Yukimura is mean. Wonder what Eden is. Is it like one piece. I hope nothing will happen to the island when the warriors are gone. Sad to see the older guys not joining the Voyage.

Oh yeah so they're on their way with the pirate boat to find the treasure, quite classical but it can be interesting.
I'm disappointed by how she looks with her hair cut though, she went from really good to absolutely ugly for me

on the first episode it wasn't that clear, I just felt that something was wrong. on ep2 it's as clear as day. This is a DISNEY anime. Everything in this i s Disney-like.

Holy shit am I disappointed in this series.

This anime is cliche af, forced comedy with a boring voyage they have to go to.

The original trailer that came out for this series last year is so much different than what it is today. It looked darker and badass.

But now?

Fucking Fena is annoying af.

Ugh, I quit. So annoyed and disappointed. I'm dropping this.

Whoosh~ Time to start the journey. A group of ninjas/samurai using a submarine, definitely not the pirates I expected from the series title.

Looks like the journey to Raft Eden is gonna be a very loud one..

Loved the sound of the short sword when she unsheathed it.. Send shivers down my spine..

Looks like women cutting their hair is a trend this Season, first it was Sally from Peach Boy Riverside, then it's Fena in this and soon there's gonna be another one coming up.

something feels off to me i dont know what it is. like there is nothing bad about the show but it is bordering on feeling generic with a good art style and animation
Same here. Maybe the reason being we have a secret, floating Japanese island with super-ninjas? And, they have a submarine?!! And I thought this was a world void of supernatural and fantastic elements... oh well...
There's also goofiness. Goofiness reminds me of Ghibli. Fena and other characters make expressions familiar to characters drawn in vey old anime.
Also, the male MC is edgy and the entire team feels like they'll demolish entire armies (with guns) with little effort, using bows and arrows and wooden spears.
Also, I find Fena annoying, but her getting hit in the head constantly - makes me repulsed even more.

Fenaa cutting her hair only made me dislike her more...

P.S Perhaps what's MOST off-putting here is the fact that we have a blend of serious moments met with goofy moments - like at the end of episode 1 when Fena got knocked out... This may just be me but I feel irritated when shit like that happens.
@Sigmar-Unberogen That covers it
Yep, your post is quite well written and highlighting a lot of the obvious garbage that is already painful
