Sukurappudo purinsesu

I know the title sounds superlative, but I believe it.

This show was conceived as a singular narrative, and every word strikes toward its target with precision.

All the best Anime golden-age tropes are here - The emotionally stunted, heart-of-gold knight, the coquettish, over-powered sorceress, the naive, playful princess, the stoic, warrior-monk, etc.

But there's something more: A thoughtful exploration of humanity's most enduring and noble traits, against the backdrop of a strange, yet familiar, and exquisitely animated world.

As of 8/14/2023, it is unavailable most places except for purchase in Apple TV.

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.

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.

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.

This is one of my favorite anime, it's such a gem. even though it's over i want more. there's just part of me that needs more of this type of action/magic/gods/peacemakers and characters in general. it's just too good. if you haven't watched it, what are you waiting for? go!
