Description
Anmitsu Hime, also known as Princess Anmitsu, is the titular protagonist of the anime series that aired from 1986 to 1987. She is a princess who resides in Amakara Castle. Physically, she is described as a pretty and beautiful young girl. Her personality is defined by a spirited and energetic nature, as she is a tomboy who does not act in the traditionally ladylike manner expected of someone of her royal status. She is also kind-hearted and full of curiosity, which often leads her to act on her whims. This curiosity and her desire for fun frequently cause her to behave in an irresponsible manner, escaping the confines of the castle to explore the castle town and the world beyond, much to the dismay of those around her.
Her primary motivation is a thirst for adventure and a desire to learn about the world outside her royal life. Rather than focusing on her princess duties or formal education, she is driven by a need for fun and excitement. This often puts her at the center of various mysterious events, including encounters with visitors from space and lake monsters. In the story, her role is that of a catalyst for chaos and adventure. Her escapades drive the plot of the standalone episodes, leading to interactions with a wide array of characters and creating trouble for the inhabitants of the castle who are tasked with her care.
Anmitsu Hime has several key relationships that define her world. Her parents, the king and queen of Amakara Castle, present her with a tutor named Castella, who is from the Pudding Kingdom and is often described as an American tutor, in the hope that she will become more serious about her studies. This plan backfires, as Anmitsu continues her usual antics. She frequently interacts with Hikozaemon Abekawa, the meddling chief retainer, and Gen'ai Hiraga, a genius inventor living in the castle town. The series also features modern tools and sentiments within a period piece worldview, giving it a unique and unrestricted style.
Regarding her development, the series follows a mostly episodic structure. However, a significant change occurs in the final episode, where she gets married to Ryunosuke, the young lord of Mitonatto Province. Following the marriage, the couple lives together happily in Anmitsu Province. While the series features a comedic and lighthearted tone, her adventures often lead her to learn valuable lessons about life and the world outside the castle. In terms of notable abilities, Anmitsu Hime does not possess any overt magical powers or superhuman skills. Her primary asset is her quick wit and resourcefulness, which she uses to navigate the humorous predicaments she gets herself into. Her boundless curiosity and energetic personality are the main drivers of her actions and the events of the series.
