Scrapped Princess

Born to the royal family, Pacifica Casull has earned the nickname "Scrapped Princess" after an apocalyptic prophecy foretells her destroying the world on her 16th birthday. Rescued from certain death by a kindly family, she takes shelter with her adoptive older brother and sister, Shannon and Raquel Casull. When news of her survival reaches the ears of the God Mauser's worshippers, they issue her death at all costs, forcing Pacifica to flee for her life.

Plagued by threats from the church, the nobility and even the common people, the three siblings attempt to outrun the fate Pacifica is destined to bring, all the while questioning if one girl's life is worth the world's demise. The true nature of the Scrapped Princess, along with the harrowing revelations of the world itself, becomes more and more apparent as the princess' 16th birthday fast approaches.

Scrapped Princess is an exceptional amalgamation of classic fantasy, science fiction, and drama that is not only tried but also accomplished with finesse. The immersive and credible setting adds to the overall charm of the series. The characters are well-crafted, entertaining, and impeccably portrayed. Unlike other shows, where lost technology is merely a tool for the characters to wreak havoc, Scrapped Princess integrates it with the story, making it an essential element of the plot.

The world of Scrapped Princess is inundated with classic fantasy tropes such as dragons, magic, and sword fighting. However, what sets it apart is the realization that not everything in this ... world is as it seems. The 'gods' worshipped by the people are named after old gun manufacturers, and the Peacemakers and their names (Cz, Steyr, etc.) are hidden firearm references. Initially, it may seem like there are a lot of vague anachronisms floating around, but as the story progresses, the reason for these peculiar names and references becomes clear. The plot not only avoids becoming trite but also develops into something even more intricate. The setting is reminiscent of some of the well-written Final Fantasy games.

The central character of the story is Pacifica Casull, also known as the "Scrapped Princess." She is being relentlessly hunted down because of the Prophecy of Grendel, which predicts her to be the cause of destruction. While she struggles to understand her true identity and the reason for the enemy's pursuit, she never succumbs to the cliche melodramatic behavior often seen in similar anime. Pacifica is a precocious, energetic, and slightly spoiled young girl who feels guilty about the pain her existence brings to those around her. She is neither angsty nor excessively bratty, which is not an easy balance to maintain, but her seiyuu does a flawless job of bringing out her essence.

Fortunately, Pacifica's adoptive family, comprising her older brother Shannon and sister Raquel, do a commendable job of keeping her safe. Shannon is a skilled swordsman, trained by their father since childhood, while Raquel is a potent wizard, inheriting her mother's magical abilities. The sibling relationship is the driving force behind the show, but the presence of the supporting cast of characters, including Leon, the aspiring knight, Seness, the exiled princess of the neighboring kingdom, and Bergens, the traveling Inquisitor for the church, adds to the overall entertainment value. Each character is a joy to watch, and none of them overstay their welcome.

The art in Scrapped Princess is undeniably beautiful, boasting colorful and detailed cityscapes along with attractive character designs. Although, it's worth mentioning that the breast sizes of the female characters could have been more varied instead of sticking to a constant C-cup size. Also, fan service is tasteful but kept to a minimum, which is kind of unfortunate for me. The action sequences are executed smoothly, and the magical patterns that appear when spells are cast are a nice touch. However, the animation quality takes a dip when it comes to horses and ships, which appear quite lackluster on screen. Despite these minor shortcomings, Scrapped Princess is a rare gem in the fantasy anime genre that is worth your time and attention. It has a fully realized fantasy world that rivals that of Lodoss War and a cast of fantasy heroes and heroines that are incredibly fun to root for, akin to El Hazard. The incorporation of lost technology into the fantasy setting is also done with great care and believability, much like in Final Fantasy 4. If you're a fan of fantasy fiction and are looking for something refreshing, Scrapped Princess should definitely be on your watch list.

This series started out promising where there is a prophesy of the scrapped princess ending the world (it's not a spoiler since it's presented straight from episode 1). It started out watchable with the brother and sister team protecting their little sister the prophesized SP, with one specialising in fighting and the other in magic.

As the story progresses towards the ending, it becomes a mess with mechs appearing and a storyline full of plotholes and a serious case of plot armor.

For example, you have a general which is reputed to be the most logical choosing to go after the princess, using normal human soldiers, ...
