Plot Summary
Born into a legendary ducal family, martial prodigy Maria “Mimi” Annovazzi loses her claim as heir and is suddenly ordered to marry into prestige. With no options left in her homeland, she transfers to a neighboring kingdom—only to be publicly dumped at graduation by a prince she’s never met over an engagement she didn’t even know she had! Will Maria be doomed to the life of a spinster?!
What Works
- Solid entry in the animation, comedy, sci-fi & fantasy catalog
- Stunning cinematography and production design that demands a large screen
- A compelling lead performance that anchors the entire narrative
What Doesn't
- Pacing issues in the second act hinder the momentum
- May feel overly familiar to long-time fans of the genre
