Fans are undoubtedly excited by the first look at the new series with a teaser trailer featuring many of the characters and moments coming to the new series. Adult Swim and Crunchyroll describe Fena: pirate princess as such, “Fena: Pirate Princess is a 12-episode original anime series that tells the story of a young orphan, 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 the soldiers of the British Empire.
But Fena is more than a helpless orphan. When her mysterious past hits, Fena will break the chains of her oppressors. Her goal: to forge a new identity, free from bondage, and to find a place where she can truly belong and uncover the true mysteries behind a keyword ‘Eden’. It’s the story of a lifelong adventure that she and her crew of misfits and unlikely allies will have to achieve their goals! “
