First of all, the title Kaizoku Oujo or Pirate Princess is a bit weird. I thought that Fena, the main heroine would command a group of pirates plundering and finding treasures whilst deepening their bond. But instead she has a crew of samurais, who is tasked with guarding Fena and finding "Eden". It doesn't even sound like she's a pirate and the only pirates i see in this anime are the pirates that are hired by the main antagonist Abel, which is odd. The story goes from action-adventure to mystery and supernatural near the end of the anime with a bit of romance put on top. The sudden story shift near the end makes me confused and all felt rushed. I liked the first episode, but as the anime goes on, i got more and more confused because the anime basically doesn't explain everything that well. The story seems to play it safe so that they have a happy ending at the end. Even when everyone at the ship disobeyed the Goblin Island chief's order to save Fena, they seem to don't mind and let them run free without any lasting consequences.
The characters felt flat to me with them having sets of personalities attached but no depth. They're just there to follow Fena and nothing else. They don't have any goals or motive other than to follow Fena. It's a shame that they serve no other purpose aside for being a side character and helping Fena without them actually having any benefit. I like the antagonist more than the main cast because they showed his past and motives making you sympathize him. But at the end, he's just another antagonist and the writers just decides that he needs to die which is a shame.
The best part of this anime has got to be the animation. The animation looks fluid, the lips are sync properly with the va and everything looks beautiful. The character designs are also good and i have no complains for the art.
Overall, i did enjoy did anime a bit but everything felt short and rushed. The story is confusing and the characters fell flat. Only thing that's good in this anime is the animation and sound which is good imo.
Thanks for reading^^
