It’s time to look back on some of the anime princesses that we have seen over the years in anime. Since many anime have fantasy themes or plots which are set in certain kingdoms, it is normal to have princesses in the storyline. Sometimes, they might also appear as the lead character. Anime princesses are as you would imagine them to be: beautiful, snobby and powerful. If you are into such type of characters, this list is for you. Here are the top anime princesses ever. These girls have been selected from several anime movies and shows.
12. Hakuei Ren, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (2012)
‘Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic’ is a magic genre adventure anime series. If you enjoy an adventure in your anime then you will love this one. I mean the best thing about adventure anime is new locations are shown regularly. The stories are inspired by tales of Aladdin and Alibaba with many characters sharing their name with the original characters. Hakuei Ren is a princess of the Kou empire. Her father was the first emperor of Kou. She is the general of the western army though she doesn’t like violence or conflict. Hakuei wants to solve everything peacefully which has led many of her soldiers to believe that she isn’t capable enough. She likes sewing a lot.

11. San, Mononoke Hime (1997)
I like anime movies. They are quite enjoyable and the best thing is that you don’t have to be invested in them for longer periods. So, if you just want a quick anime break go for a movie. This anime is really nice to watch. IT shows a conflict of interest between humans who want to advance their technology with little to no regards for nature while others who want to protect it. San is generally known as Princess Mononoke. Her raising was kind of like Mowgli. After being abandoned by her parents the wolf goddess Moro raised San as her own daughter. San is now the princes of the Beasts and Spirits and fights against those who try to harm the forest.

Usagi Tsukino is one of the cutest characters from the fantasy anime series ‘Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon’ and why wouldn’t she be? Her name literally means rabbit or rather rabbit of the moon.

She is bubbly and cheerful though at first was shown to be an immature girl who was quick to cry. Over the series we see her personality develop as she learns to accept her responsibilities.

May Chang is a princess from one of the most popular anime series of the 21st century, ‘Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood’. The series is absolutely amazing with a great plot and character work.
