Plots(1)
Pacifica Cassul is a kindhearted girl living on the run, for prophecy has named her the poison that would destroy the world. Known as the Scrapped Princess, she’s the target of countless followers of a powerful religion. But even when it seems like the whole world is out to get her, she always has her two adoptive siblings—Shannon and Raquel. Together they travel the countryside, making new friends and battling countless foes. Bit by bit, they uncover the incredible truth behind the prophecy and its ties to mysterious events from 5,000 years ago. (Crunchyroll)

Scrapped Princess is exactly this - a high fantasy anime series version of The Matrix, yet somehow not as sophisticated and even less interesting than (the sci-fi fantasy) Utawarerumono, although I found it more enjoyable than Guin Saga, which I saw only last week. What is good about this show in my opinion is that the setting is quite charming, the characters are quite endearing (although the main female protagonist can be quite a brat...), it has a good atmosphere, and the soundtrack is nice too... What I think is wrong with it is that it seems to me that they laid their cards on the table too early and made a fairly enjoyable fantasy anime series into a confusing, though still pretty respectable sci-fi, albeit one that stops in the middle of the season for a long-winded break to unpack everything and kills the initial mood they had built up... They manage to pull it back a bit by wrapping everything up neatly with the ending, however, was there any surprise at all? I binged the whole season in one weekend and enjoyed it, although the second half of the season was not really my cup of tea, and I was not very impressed by the revelations regarding the world it is set in... 6.6/10.
