I imagine some people who are expecting a more traditional kind of adventure might feel a bit disappointed but I thought the transition was logical and seamless. The second half in some ways almost feels like a completely separate show as mecha like combat starts to replace your standard And for the first half of the series that is exactly what you get. When starting the show you will be treated to what is seemingly your normal medieval era sword and sorcery fantasy adventure. For that I am rather disappointed in myself as it turned out to be a wonderfully entertaining and charming series. While hesitant at first, Rygart soon gets involved in the war between Krisna and Athens, in an attempt to save Hodr, Sigyn, and Zess.Scrapped Princess has been a show sitting on my shelf for quite a while and for some reason I had never gotten around to viewing it. Despite its ancient origins, the golem possesses capabilities and systems far more advanced than the current Golems and could be key to turning the tide of battle. While at the capital, Rygart discovers that he has the ability to pilot a recently discovered ancient Golem which cannot be piloted by magic users. Rygart is also shocked to learn that Zess is leading one of the strike forces. Years later, Rygart is reunited with Hodr and Sigyn where he learns the Athens Commonwealth has begun an invasion of Krisna. Despite this, in his youth, he managed to befriend Hodr and Sigyn, the future King and Queen of the Krisna Kingdom and Zess, the younger brother of the Secretary of War of the Athens Commonwealth. Rygart, however, is one of the few exceptions as an “un-sorcerer”, he cannot utilize quartz, making many aspects of life difficult as well as being looked down upon by the rest of society. ![]() This magic is the ability to control and empower quartz, doing many things from creating light to operating machinery to riding giant mecha called ‘Golems’. The story is centered around a young man named Rygart Arrow, a resident of a world where people can use “magic”. Scrapped Princess contains graphic violence and mild suggestive themes/dialogs. A good show to watch to help you wind down. I do recommend this anime to those looking for something good and less known to watch. The story and pacing may feel slow with today standard. This was created by studio Bones, which later bring you other awesome shows like Darker than Black and My Hero Academia.Ĭharacter design is a bit old fashion at this point, including huge shoulder pads and all. Though the plot would lead you to think it should be darker, the light comedy keeps this series from becoming too dark. ![]() The show starts out as high-fantasy with magic and later switchgear to be a different type of genre. ![]() The opening theme “Little Wing” by JAM Project featuring Masami Okui and closing theme “Daichi no la-li-la” by Yoko Ueno and Masumi Itou are both catchy. The colors are a bit muted and dark in most scenes. The animation style is a little dated and reminds me a bit of an older anime, Slayers. Scrapped Princess is one of the less well-known gems of an anime.
