Scrapped Princess Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

This is the anime that I've been watching recently. Like Rayearth, it's a sword and sorcery adventure. Like Ayashi no Ceres, it's the story of twin heir and heiress - one charmed, and one cursed. Pacifica, the central figure, is the cursed "Scrapped Princess". An unflattering title, but accurate, Pacifica is the poison that will destroy the world. Supposedly killed at birth, but now fifteen years old, forces of society and law everywhere are after her to destroy her before her sixteenth birthday. She runs from them and fights against them with two protectors, Shannon and Raquel. So are things presented to us, however things are not as they seem ...



So far it's a well written and well thought out story, and some great character development. This anime has an unusual Celtic flavor to it, probably due to the theme and background music, but also because of the character names. Right now I'm up to episode 12, and can't wait to see how the rest of it will turn out. ^_^;;

Right now it's only available as fansubs I think because it was just made last year. It is a good series, so I have no doubts that it will be licensed soon if it hasn't been already. So it might not be that long before it's released here in the US.



One thing that I didn't mention before is that the animation artwork is very well done for the most part. It was made by the same people that did Wolf's Rain and RahXephon and includes some interesting magic and phasing special effects.
