I just finished Scrapped Princess tonight. I know I am really late. It was a good anime. If you don't know it's about this girl named Pacifica and her brother Shannon (yeah I said brother lol) and sister Raquel(le) that are traveling around on the run because Pacifica was born the Scrapped Princess destinted to kill the world as they know it. The anime starts off a little bit slow but it ends with a punch. (hehehehehehehe) You basically go through a simple random attacker of a day to something meshed and significant with all the characters past present and future. Since I am on characters the development was great. You really connected with the characters well. You might think something about one and then it turns out they are completely the opposite. The one thing that I didn't like too much was the eyecatches. They were too friggin happy for some of the episodes that were more dark. It's a good watch filled with good amounts of comedy, drama, suspense, and all the other good things that makes an anime good. Go watch it! :D

While I haven't finished this anime yet (I'm only on like episode 8 or so :unsure: ) I like what I've seen. My friends told me to watch it and that I'd really like it. Then they watched the rest of it and don't want to watch it anymore. So now I'm left high and dry. I'd like to watch the rest, though. It was pretty cool, and the pole axe that whatsisface has is incredably sweet! It's teh ownz!

I will say this it will not stay as carefree as it did in the begining. It's worth watching for finding out how each character is important to the storyline.

Weird, this is funky. You and I are actually agreeing on an anime. What's wrong with the world?! :blink:

It happens every blue moon.

I agree, it's a really good anime. I saw it a couple of months back. There isn't any real filler, which was nice. Something was always happening. :)

I just finished this series this morning. I started watching at episode 8 and couldn't stop until it was done. I was left speachless afterward. Here are a few things that really hit me.

In my entire anime watching career, there has only been one anime that has made me cry. Now and Then, Here and There. Until this one. There were times when I was watching it and I said to myself, "Wow, they did a really nice job with this.The mood is really working." Then, at what I would call the saddest moment of the anime, I couldn't think about anything except the exceptional amount of pain I was feeling in my heart. At that moment, my heart broke. This series has done what only one other has. I became so emotionally attached to the characters that I empathized with them. I actually shared some of their pain. Even now, thinking back on it, It's hard for me to keep back a wave of emotion.

On a lighter topic (because I don't need a breakdown at my expensive keyboard), I would also like to talk about the characters. While I'm well aware that they aren't real, Watching them, I got a sense of realness. There were a few stereotypical characters, but for the most part, I felt that they were truely original. They felt like actual people, rather than just fictional personas that did things on an "if a, then b" reaction algorithm. They reacted to situations in ways that people would. They thought about the consiquences and weighed their options.

And now, the linch pin. The mood of the series. When first I saw it, I thought, "Great, a good series that's going to be mucked up by Pacifica's comic releif." Then, as I continued to watch it, I came to the realization that that was supposed to be her character. She had very little angst, espesially for being and anime heroine. Instead, she was a carefree, cheerful person who didn't really understand her situation, but knew she had to take it seriously. She never really broke the mood. Everything she did was kind of in the background. During serious times, she was serious. During lighter times, she was her normal cute self.

One part, I wish they had improved, though, was the fight scenes between the dragoon and the peacemakers. Toward the end, they were pretty boring. I almost skipped them because they never did anything during them. It was standard 'lather, rinse, repeat' style fighting. Better than DBZ, but worse than Gundam Wing.

I have to stop for now. I still haven't recvered from the wound this series has given me.
