Synopsis

Born to the royal family, Pacifica Casull has earned the nickname "Scrapped Princess" after an apocalyptic prophecy foretells her destroying the world on her 16th birthday. Rescued from certain death by a kindly family, she takes shelter with her adoptive older brother and sister, Shannon and Raquel Casull. When news of her survival reaches the ears of the God Mauser's worshippers, they issue her death at all costs, forcing Pacifica to flee for her life.

Plagued by threats from the church, the nobility and even the common people, the three siblings attempt to outrun the fate Pacifica is destined to bring, all the while questioning if one girl's life is worth the world's demise. The true nature of the Scrapped Princess, along with the harrowing revelations of the world itself, becomes more and more apparent as the princess' 16th birthday fast approaches.

If you are, or were a drifter with some family sadness in your life as a youth/young adult, then this show will either be one of the best things, or one of the worst things.

To many, Bocchi, from Bocchi the rock are "literally me, fr fr" but to me, when I watched this, both Pacifica and Shannon were that to me.
I have a sister, we were both kind of unwanted, but I had a slightly better life, etc, not gonna write an essay on that here, but I'm sure you can imagine why this show would hit that spot in someone.

That aside, I really enjoyed ... the character designs, the music, the setpieces, and ....the color design. In fact, other than my own personal emotional connection, this show stayed with me for how the artists set up night to day transitions, as well as rain.
The color changes were always extremely moody, in fact, the show itself is full of that in general, but the nights, rainy days and the transitions from those to daylight stuck with me, big time, to the point where I studied them for my own art stuff.

The soundtrack is also one of my all time faves, it's nothing wild, but really fit the show, and I dig the melancholy of some of the pieces.
Pacifica no koudoku for example is something I learned on any instrument I ever picked up, which were a few.

The animation is decent, it does what it has to do, sometimes you get some treats animated on ones, but also lows like CGI beam spamfests toward the end.

Due to the emotional nature, it can get a bit sappy and sometimes even a bit artificial, where drama seems to come just out of thin air because 'that's where the fun of that show is' but I think it's alright, could be worse, could be honey and clover (loved that one too, but boy... the drama in that one often was just conjured up for the hell of it, imho).
Perhaps it is due to the fact that I only ever watched and watch this show in Japanese, might be more abrasive in English.

But yeah, I think the drama level is bearable, I have an extra connection to it due to my personal life, but that notwithstanding, it should be in the realm of 'acceptable'
(managed to make an 'annoying girl hating', anime picky eater female friend of mine watch that show and she pulled it through to the end...and that one usually only watches badass stuff, like Claymore)
So, yeah, if someone like that can stomach it, most could, I'd say.

Anyway, I think the show is really good, I think every single arc works out more than it fails, it's not perfect, there are some cliches, but it's 2024 and I'm writing a review for this, because it's a show I rewatch every so often, and that is reserved to a few select works in my vast library (not actually transferred to this site cause, aint got time fo dat)

So yeah, if you enjoy 'the drifter life of a little sister you want to protect' or are the little sister, or just enjoy that kinda stuff, then you'll like this show.
If you absolutely hate drama, slow burn action, and day night cycles (lol) then don't watch this show.

Oh right, I never really cared about the religious or symbolism part, it's Japanese, it's more about being cool than making sense. Don't get hung up on it. It's not Maria the Virgin Witch or whatever.

Watch it for the drifter feel, the doomer feel, but only if you have a hopeful heart.

Mixed Feelings

I am shocked to see no comments this is a very good one shot anime it is easy to understand because of how well they explain the series
.
the dialogues and conversation are deep and meaningful and upon that a good MC who doesn't always feel sorry
.
All n all what a Great anime this was and the ending was so wholesome
and the classic art style adds to the beauty as for some people this may not be as good but compared to other anime which is made on this topic it holds a candle so if u spare time u can watch this
.
if they'll remake it ...

This series started out promising where there is a prophesy of the scrapped princess ending the world (it's not a spoiler since it's presented straight from episode 1). It started out watchable with the brother and sister team protecting their little sister the prophesized SP, with one specialising in fighting and the other in magic.

As the story progresses towards the ending, it becomes a mess with mechs appearing and a storyline full of plotholes and a serious case of plot armor.

For example, you have a general which is reputed to be the most logical choosing to go after the princess, using normal human soldiers, ...
