Scrapped Princess

Well I've strayed away from World of Warcraft for the past 2 days since it's getting quite boring for me. If anyone's wondering, I chose a Horde feral tank druid to level to 80 (which is still at 70 at the moment) just because I've always wanted to tank stuff. The druid is very old and started at 60. It has been abandoned for years before Burning Crusade. Anyways, this post isn't about WoW so I will be dropping this subject now.

Scrapped Princess (スクラップド・プリンセス). Since I'm too lazy to come up with my own words to describe this anime, I will be borrowing AniDB's summary.

Usually, the birth of heirs would be a joy to any kingdom. But at the time of the birth of the royal twins, it was prophesized that if the girl child reaches her 16th birthday, she would be the cause of the destruction of the world. Out of fear of the prophesy, it was decided that she should not be allowed to live and the little child was cast off the highest cliff to a certain death. Pacifica, the child of whom the prophesy spoke, is now 15 years old and traveling with her adoptive brother and sister who are dedicated to protect her. Chased by various forces dedicated to see that the sentence of death is carried out, Pacifica is compelled to hide her identify and to rely on the strength of her brother's sword and the mastery of her sister's sorcery to stay alive.With an army of warriors, sorcerers, and the might of the church all dedicated to her death, will the assistance of brother and sister be enough, or will Pacifica have to call forth the power to save herself and fulfill her destiny as it was told in the prophesy?

While it may have extremely little, if not any, romance in it - this title still comes up strong and is definitely one of my favorites. Heck, I would go even as far as saying that IT IS my favorite. Yeah it is, seriously. Yeah! An anime with absolutely no romance in it at all is my favorite anime of all time. Who would've thought? Fantasy, sword fights, magic casting. My favorite character, be it a semi-minor character and almost no development, Raquel Casull. Always have a very kind and calm attitude and sometimes goofy. She's the magic caster of the three main protagonist. Pacifica Casull, the blonde lead character. Shannon and Raquel Casull, her adoptive brother and sister. It's such a shame that they never focused much on her character.



I actually didn't just see this anime recently. I've seen it about 3-4 years ago and just remembered it again while digging through my pile of anime collection. I just want to get this out there and if you're looking for a great anime, please check this one out. It may not have awesome animation but it's definitely good enough and the story is just great and unique (at least to me).
