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 Ma'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.

When fantasy and sci-fi make love, out comes "Scrapped Princess".
Very good anime, solid story and characters, it steers clear of tropes and has plenty of Chekhov's guns on its shelves.

The backstory is kinda explained at some point but there is more to it and you have to think and piece together a puzzle to grasp it in its entirety.

It doesn't suffer from lazy writing or "Japanese humour", so to speak, and everything has an explanation.
Definitely worth watching, if only for the novel experience it provides.

The theme is somewhat melancholic... Ok, very melancholic at times, and stuff DOES go wrong. People make mistakes. And they ... get scared and try their best and fail and retry and just you know, behave like actual people rather than stereotyped characters. Fresh air for my poor lungs.

The pacing slows down near the end but it's not detrimental, if you use it to think things through and appreciate the worldbuilding.

8/10, would have been a 9/10, had the writing been braver in a couple of parts.
But definitely a must-watch: one of those rare anime that probe you to think and actually has very mature undertones. So I'll give it 9/10 all the same!

Mixed Feelings

I am shocked to see no comments this is a very good one shot anime it is easy to understand because of how well they explain the series
.
the dialogues and conversation are deep and meaningful and upon that a good MC who doesn't always feel sorry
.
All n all what a Great anime this was and the ending was so wholesome
and the classic art style adds to the beauty as for some people this may not be as good but compared to other anime which is made on this topic it holds a candle so if u spare time u can watch this
.
if they'll remake it ... I'll be there until next time... bye..

Not Recommended

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, ... when she is protected by this OP mech that has the ability to obliterate entire kingdoms.

**spoilers**

Other really stupid logic lapses includes the knight promising to protect the princess giving up without a fight when found, or him being released without a reason when she's captured.

Also how can a queen that's been kept alive for 16 years suddenly die just next to Pacifica's cell? That's pure garbage writing written in just to elicit some drama.

And the dragoon knight doesn't need to negotiate with any human beings. He can wipe out the entire kingdom by himself. So when he was in the same room as Pacific in the throne room, all he needed to do was to activate the dragoon mode. Did the writers accidentally erase his brain or something?

Also, he had a big fight with the Peacemaker CZ, and next moment, he tolerates her hanging around him constantly? And the peacemakers will allow a weakened dragoon warrior to live when they can easily eliminate him due to lack of sleep?

None of the behaviors here make any sense and you rather get the feel that the writers just went with whatever they liked without really considering the logic of it. This is just really poor writing and full of flaws that makes it unwatchable in the end. Do not watch this if you can't stomach lazy writing and writers who couldn't really come up with a logical ending to their initial premise and just wrote whatever nonsense that they can come up with. I felt like smashing my tv from sitting through this anime right though the end. It is an insult to the intelligence of any audience who is not a child.
