Scrapped Princess

Woot, Pacifica is cute, the opening is by JAM project with Masami Okui, and it's actual fun fantasy stuff without being retarded. Definitely one of the series I'm following this year.



Anyway, the story is about Pacifica, a princess who was thrown off a cliff when she was born because the stars she was born under foretold her fate as destroying the world when she turns sixteen. Many people thought she died then, but she was saved somehow and raised by the Casull house. Now she is traveling the country with her brother and sister, Shannon and Raquel, meeting with many adventures and people trying to kill her and avert the destruction that is sure to come.



I managed to watch a couple of episodes of this before getting around to writing this, so I'm more convinced that this will be a neat show. The first episode goes into Pacifica's feelings about who she is after her foster mother turns her in to some guy trying to kill her because she feels she has no choice. It also introduces Chris, the mild-mannered but deadly guy out to get Pacifica, but also kind of watching her. Good thing Raquel is quite zealous about using her magic to protect Pacifica and Shannon is skilled as well, or Pacifica's semi-naive attitude would get her in more trouble than she could handle. ^^;



The second episode introduces Leo the incompetent knight-in-training and Winnia the mysterious, powerful girl. The cool part about this episode is how Pacifica gets to put the spirit-turned-giant-frog to rest, since one of my main likes about this series is how Pacifica reacts to the things that are thrown her way, and deals with her fate (with Raquel and Shannon's support, of course). Overall, I really look forward to watching the rest of the series, and hope it lives up to my expectations in how it handles everything that is sure to happen to Pacifica. ^^



P.S. If anyone knows whether the names should really be Pacifica Cthulhu or anything else, e-mail me!

P.P.S. Oh yeah, the abbreviation you may see, "sutepri", comes from the Japanese word for scrapped, "suteru". So suteta princess becomes sutepri. ^^
