Scrapped Princess

Watched all of Scrapped Princess. Still trying to absorb all the things that happened in the series. There's something so terribly painful and sad about the series despite the supposedly happy ending. You can't help but like and truly feel for Pacifica, however, it's hard to forgive her for forgetting.

Yes, I'm talking about Fulle, and the Queen. I have major issues with characters that does the amnesia thing. It always feels like the coward's way out. Forgetting people, places, and all the things that mattered, it is unfair to those memories. Let's just say my reaction to Fulle and the Queen's fate, as well as Pacifica not being able to remember them were less than impressed.

The Peacemakers are damn interesting. Cz's spiel on humanity and the Peacemaker's reasoning are logical, and seeing it from their persepective, is right. Not saying I'm all for them hitting the re-set button -_-;;; But it's hard to argue when put against so much evidence of humanity at its worst.

I really like the Cathulle siblings. The interaction between the three is just perfect, and you can honestly say they love each other. Love Shannon, who wouldn't love the boy, Raquel is such a, such a calm person (and really manipulative), and Pacifica is nothing more than a girl who just happened to be the 'Scrapped Princes'.

But I'm still can't forgive her for forgetting. You do not need to to forget to move on.

I didn't mind the ending. The series ended the way it developed. Ambiguous and not always happy. Because even Pacifica's decision at the end may not have been the right one. Oh yeah, love the title 'Providence Breaker'.

Will probably rant some more about the series. I just need to re-think a few things.

I always meant to watch Scrapped Princess, but I only have, like, episode 20.

What's the plotline like? Seemed medieval-armyish in that one ep.

WATCH IT!

I swear to you it isn't JUST medieval-armyish. There's character development, there's hi-tech, there's action, and I dare say there's pathos. Also, it can be damn funny.

(I'm just not sure what to say. 'Scrapped Princes' is one of those series that anything I say can heavily spoil. Let's just say it's not going to be something you will be expecting just from the title).

I have this series burned and collecting dust, and have been meaning to watch this sometime. Would you recommend? I'm asking because I didn't read your entry in case I'm spoiled. :3

Watch it! Watch it! I think you'll like it. It's hard to describe the series without spoiling it. I recommend it very much.

Some people think it begins rather slowly, I personally adored it. But you HAVE to watch this series.

(beside, have I led you wrong yet?... actually, don't answer that)

LOL. And you're right actually, so far you've only led me to good things. Like back when I told you my Naruto manga was collecting dust and you forced me strongly encouraged me to read immediately. XD

Cool. Will slot this into my anime viewing with the rest of the piles. :3

I loved a lot of the series, and the animation was quite nice, but damn, that second-to-last ending episode. I mean, /damn/.

Half the good guys team are professional hit men in one form or another and NO ONE thought about how things were going? Shannon didn't think it might work out that way? That ending seemed like a very contrived situation that involved a lot of characters having to act really stupid to set it up.

Otherwise, I enjoyed it... except I wish she'd been a little nicer to... Leo, was it?

Definitely. The second last ep. was WTF?! I mean, hello, twin brother who had issues here.

*sigh*

Otherwise, loved the series. Leo deserved happiness. The boy ran around wearing the suit. He deserved more ^^;;
