Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle (2020)
[้ญ็ๅใงใใใใฟ]
Director: Mitsue Yamazaki
Studio: Doga Kobo
Starring: Inori Minase, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Kaito Ishikawa
Episodes: 12
Synopsis:
Imprisoned in the Demon King's castle, all Princess Syalis wants is a good night's sleep and she's prepared to do anything to get it.
Impressions:
The basic premise of a sociopathic princess with a monomaniacal focus on sleeping is amusing enough, but I would've never expected it to have the legs on it that it does. (For reference, the manga is still ongoing with 17 volumes as of the time of this review.) Syalis' antics and the effect they have on her hapless captors are great fun to watch and amid all the comedy, there's also a fair bit of heart as well. I quite possibly enjoyed this the most out of a slate of many fine series that were airing in the season. It's chill, feel-good viewing and I'd say it warrants a place in your collection.
