In the early days of my own personal journey into the world of anime, I discovered a series that I particularly enjoyed titled Sister Princess. While history has not been kind to the series over the last couple of decades, the series still has its fair share of fans scattered throughout the world. This was made even more apparent on August 29th when it was revealed that the title would be getting a special 20th-anniversary project in the near future. There are no further details available at this time, but the format of the project has been promised to be revealed on September 9th via a brand new YouTube channel.
Sister Princess was originally launched as a serialized light novel written by Sakurako Kimino in Dengeki G’s magazine from 1999 to 2003. In 2001 the series was adapted into a manga and the first of two television anime series (the first of which was released in English by ADV Films). In 2018, the anime series and its sequel (which was never officially released in English) were rescued by Discotek Media and re-released in the west.
Discotek Media describes the plot of the first season as:
Wataru Minakami was at the top of his class in middle school and had a pretty comfy life in Tokyo. But, when he unexpectedly fails his only high school entrance exam because of a computer glitch, his life is suddenly thrown into utter chaos! Jeeves, Wataru’s trusted butler, sends him off to attend school on a mysterious island. Upon his arrival, Wataru encounters many friendly, cute girls. This isn’t a problem until he finds out they are all his sisters! For most kids, adjusting to life at a new school in a different town is tough enough. But for Wataru Minakami, high school will be the easy part!
