Religion... Bad.... Restrains freedom.Yawn. This age old rhetoric finds little new ground here in what I thought would be a fascinating tale of a princess nobody wants. Instead I find that the themes and subject matter are simple one dimensional rehashings of a tale as old as time: Nobody likes religion, therefore it must be inherently bad.While the Anime itself is pretty well done (hence my rating of 2, rather than 1) and at times is quite fascinating to look at, sadly that is the only thing that stands out in this yawn-fest of simplistic predictable characters and story lines. By the time I had gotten to the 3rd episode I could already tell you who was going to be the main protagonist for each episode... and from that point forward I never missed a single one. There are no surprises here.If you are looking for fascinating sci-fi.... turn to Blue Gender, Full Metal Alchemist, Armitage (Poly or Dual), or any other number of far better Japanese anime. If you're just looking to waste time and be bored... well... here's one you'll not regret on that front.BTW: Obviously those who did the subtitles even got bored --- they couldn't get "Cis" (or Cz) name right ONE SINGLE TIME when she was in child form. Kept calling her "Cin"... which doesn't even sound close to what was being said.Trust me... this is one to take a pass on... I sure wish I hadn't spent the money on it.

I have watched the full series and must say that I am very pleased with it. I would rank it up there with some of the other great anime series that I have watched, such as Cowboy Bebop. The easiest way to think of this show is that it has a storyline similar to the Matrix, although it is set in the middle ages. It really has a truly intriguing story of how, after a great war, known as the Genesis war, humans were put in a contained environment to prevent further destruction. The humans were ruled over by what are known as the peacemakers. They were also led to believe that it was t around the middle ages. The story follows the life of a young girl, Pacifica Casull, who is the only person that can resist the Peacemakers' powers.All in all, it was an excellent show and I would recommend it to any fan of anime.

This is one of my favorite anime series of all time, and I would recommend it to anyone who love anime, or just loves a good story. The characters are awesome as is the plot. It's also one of the first show's I've seen where I haven't gotten majorly annoyed at one of the characters. It's also one of the only shows which plot does not lag, keeping at a good pace while still taking time to explain and give detail. Every episode will leave you wanting more. The soundtrack is also superb. Everyone should watch this show, and it's great as an anime for those who have never seen the genre before. All in all, a great series.

I've seen quite a few animes in my time and most of them generally aren't original and not very entertaining. Scrapped Princess isn't all that original but it was very entertaining. The animation is very good its a newer anime but it doesn't look like crap like most newer animes look like. The storyline can go from funny to serious in a matter of moments. Each episode keeps you wanting more. This isn't the best comment in the world but no one else has commented on it and I think its anime that you just have to see to enjoy. There's magic, knights, gods, and dragons. Nothing new but something you have to see.
