Scrapped Princess V2

Well, if you are looking for a synopsis of the series, look at disk 1.

This is probably one of my faovrite animes, and it's about time they brought it to the USA.

Well now the important notes. This series DVDs as with most anime series DVDs are being released every other month. The doll that comes with the set has her feminine features far to over accentuated. I think mile long legs are great, but 2-3 mile long legs. Just get the regular DVD and save yourself a 10 spot.

Pacifica is traveling with her brother, Shannon, and her sister, Raquel. Pacifica has a terrible destiny. She is referred to as the Scrapped Princess. The Scrapped Princess is said to be born under a cursed star and bring destruction to the entire world. Nearly the entire world is out to kill her. There is nowhere they can hide, so they stay on the move. Shannon is a talented swordsman, and Raquel is a strong sorceress. Pacifica has very good protectors. At first glance, Pacifica tends to seem like a spoiled brat. Sometimes she makes a complete turnaround and shows a sweet and caring attitude. It's kind of wierd how she changes like that. The 3 siblings will meet many people on their journey. Some will become friends and others will betray them. One thing is for sure; there will be lots of action and plot twists.

This series is pretty good. It has a good mix of action, comedy and drama. There are some really good characters that are developed well. This series stays focused on the main plot and doesn't diverge like a lot of the fantasy animes out there. It has good animation, voice acting, and a decent soundtrack. I really enjoyed it, but there are tons of better shows out there. I'll give it 4 stars, because even though I enjoyed it, it didn't blow me away.

One thing that you know in the world of Scrapped Princess is that you never truly know the real intentions of anyone you encounter. For example in the first episode on this dvd, what seems a chance encounter with a mediocre minstrel, leads to a battle when he reveals himself as a bounty hunter able to control swarms of poisonous insects! And with his big mouth he just might reveal Pacifica's secret to Leo! And there are other more powerful forces moving against the Scrapped Princess. Peacemakers, powerful beings that claim they are servants of God, who can control humans, attack once again. Behind the scenes, Christopher, the assassin from Volume 1 has been sent to investigate the true meaning of the prophecies concerning Pacifica.

Once again this series great strength is in the love between Pacifica, Shannon, and Raquel which allows them to stand against an entire world! While Pacifica wonders whether she would be better off dead, her brother and sister are always there to help her. It seems like most of the people that try to kill them are won over by their kindness and dedication to each other. Hopefully, the prophecies are wrong.

The extras are pitiful with the only one being a textless ending. To me, the picture quality is not as good as it could be, especially when there are dark backgrounds. The Japanese voice acting is superb.
