Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
You know princesses. Anime is full of them! Long hair curled into luxuriant tresses, fancy hoity-toity way of speaking, sits there and looks winsome a lot. The works. Well, dear comrades of ADTRW, the question I want to pose to you today is: Of them all, who is the BEST anime princess? Let's find out through reasonable discourse and civilized parley the likes for which ADTRW is well known.

I submit that the best anime princess is Dianna Soriel/Kihel Heim from the well-beloved Turn-A Gundam. Why?





Well, for one thing she's not just there to sit around and look winsome! In fact, she's an awesome active character who starts out as your typical sort of naive idol-like princess and gradually learns about the real-world consequences of her idealistic plan to resettle the Moonrace on Earth. Next, she's not afraid to order the death sentence on unruly subjects like Corin Nander. She's got steel in her! Finally, it's hilarious how quick she is to grab the nearest gun or rifle and try to shoot someone, even if they're riding in a dozens of meters-tall mecha!

That's why I think Dianna Soriel is the best anime princess. How about you?

I need to watch this show! Or maybe read the manga, Hiromu Arakawa's mangas are always fun.

It's great so far because as an adaptation of a book by the Legend of the Galactic Heroes guy you can totally take it seriously and it's full of DEEP THOUGHTS about gods and kings or whatever, and/or you can get excited about the pretty people and Arslan's growing harem. Ether way is totally valid!

it's a fun series and yona gets a good amount of development. the comedy is great. there's actually a decent amount of talk about politics.

but it's pretty reverse harem yeah. the 4 dragons are literally bound by a centuries old curse to love her and never betray her, hak has it bad for her, and yoon is a tsundere.

that said hak and jeaha give her a lot of poo poo and tease her, so it isn't complete worshiping of her like a lot of harem series fall into.

Yona definitely. And re: harem stuff she's not obnoxious and useless like an otome heroine which helps a lot. I hate most harem things as well but it didn't bother me at all as an element of the show.

It's clearly Princess Kushana from the Nausicaa manga.
what in the heck?

Manga Kushana is one of my all time favorite characters.


I wanted to do a big effort post about her and how well-realised she is and then I remembered that I'm not very good at actually articulating things like that.

So have a bunch of kick-rear end pictures instead.

That would be true if she didn't decide to rule as regent till the end of her days and then pass over the crown of Torumekia to ??? That means she gives up her official royal claim!! :haw:

It's true, however, that it's rather hard to beat something like this



It's pretty much the best "Princess speech" ever. :allears: :black101:

I expected a crossdressing Loran joke but you had to ruin it by using a completely different Turn A character.

I'm very disappointed.

It's a terrible shame for me to admit this, but I've never watched Revolutionary Girl Utena. I really should, if only for my own edification as an anime watcher. Is Anthy a good anime princess?

Anthy is the worst anime princess. Utena is the best anime prince though.
