Great Film overall

Brilliant and touching

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

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.

First of let me say that I'm not a geeky fan of anime. I'm a man who loves all sorts of films that have a message, good dialogues, well made characters and a good written story. This is not a film, but still it fulfills all of the criteria. The moment you start watching this series you start to evolve a bond of love and sympathy for each character. You may, or may not, jump off your chair vouching for your favorite character whenever he/she is in trouble. The dialogues are in no way exaggerated but rather simple and gradually evolved for each episode passed. The story is VERY well written and above all, unique. It does contain sad and very very very dramatic scenes, which actually even made me shed a tear, which I rarely do when I watch films. I've seen many animes, I enjoyed almost everyone of them. But when I came to see this series it did not just excite me, it overwhelmed me. This anime also covers another thing, which most animes don't. And what could that be? The ending of course! In most animes you're left to be sad and the end "real" end will remain unknown. But in Scrapped Princess the end is perfectly shaped! It's an end which will either leave you happy or sad. In most cases both. But when you do think about it you can't deny admitting that this actually was an anime with good dialogues, well made characters, good storyline and a good heartwarming ending. I'll state my point; My favorite anime, 10/10. If you're a fan of anime go watch it! You don't know what you're missing!

I have watched the full series and must say that I am very pleased with it. I would rank it up there with some of the other great anime series that I have watched, such as Cowboy Bebop. The easiest way to think of this show is that it has a storyline similar to the Matrix, although it is set in the middle ages. It really has a truly intriguing story of how, after a great war, known as the Genesis war, humans were put in a contained environment to prevent further destruction. The humans were ruled over by what are known as the peacemakers. They were also led to believe that it was t around the middle ages. The story follows the life of a young girl, Pacifica Casull, who is the only person that can resist the Peacemakers' powers.All in all, it was an excellent show and I would recommend it to any fan of anime.

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.
