According to a revelation, Pacifica, the heroine of the broadcast series Scrapped Princess (2003), will cause the end of the world on her 16th birthday. What exactly that prophecy means isn't clear, and the narrative falters amid a welter of characters, who multiply like coat hangers in a closet. Shannon, Pacifica's older brother-protector, meets a mysterious girl-spirit named Zefiris who announces that he is her master. She gives him the magical powers needed to defeat Galil, one of a cadre of powerful beings known as Peace Makers, who are bent on killing Pacifica before she turns 16. A secondary plot involving a sinister baroness, her adopted son/agent, a corrupt cardinal, and the god Mauser only adds to the confusion. The filmmakers are so busy introducing and discarding characters, they seem to have lost track of the story. (Rated 13 and older: violence, brief nudity) --Charles Solomon

Product Description

The journey continues as they successfully evade the forces of Mauser. But a bounty on Pacifica's head is now set and a bounty hunter aims to collect using poison to end her life. Raquel and Leo must now set out on a dangerous journey to try and find an antidote before it is too late. Powerful beings called the "Peacemakers", who claim it is their destiny to rule humanity can no longer wait and observe as time is running out and as prophecy predicts, "the world will be destroyed when the Princess turns 16."

4.0 out of 5 stars Good series, bad doll, July 15, 2005

By	Jazz - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scrapped Princess - Melancholy Wagon Tracks (Vol. 2) + Series Box and Figure (DVD)

Well, if you are looking for a synopsis of the series, look at disk 1.

This is probably one of my faovrite animes, and it's about time they brought it to the USA.

Well now the important notes. This series DVDs as with most anime series DVDs are being released every other month. The doll that comes with the set has her feminine features far to over accentuated. I think mile long legs are great, but 2-3 mile long legs. Just get the regular DVD and save yourself a 10 spot.

5.0 out of 5 stars MISREAD PROPHECY?, September 5, 2005

By	Sesho "www.sesho.libsyn.com" (Pasadena, TX USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

One thing that you know in the world of Scrapped Princess is that you never truly know the real intentions of anyone you encounter. For example in the first episode on this dvd, what seems a chance encounter with a mediocre minstrel, leads to a battle when he reveals himself as a bounty hunter able to control swarms of poisonous insects! And with his big mouth he just might reveal Pacifica's secret to Leo! And there are other more powerful forces moving against the Scrapped Princess. Peacemakers, powerful beings that claim they are servants of God, who can control humans, attack once again. Behind the scenes, Christopher, the assassin from Volume 1 has been sent to investigate the true meaning of the prophecies concerning Pacifica.

Once again this series great strength is in the love between Pacifica, Shannon, and Raquel which allows them to stand against an entire world! While Pacifica wonders whether she would be better off dead, her brother and sister are always there to help her. It seems like most of the people that try to kill them are won over by their kindness and dedication to each other. Hopefully, the prophecies are wrong.

The extras are pitiful with the only one being a textless ending. To me, the picture quality is not as good as it could be, especially when there are dark backgrounds. The Japanese voice acting is superb.

One would think that our party might catch a break after leaving town. But, instead they are attacked by an unusual assasin, which causes a crisis for Pacifica's friend Leopold, and reunites her with the man who first tried to kill her as a baby. Later, an abandoned girl attaches herself to Shannon, ultimately resulting in tension and heartbreak amoung the siblings. More clues are provided as to the truth of what's happening, and Shannon gains a powerful ally(?) as this unusual story moves forward.
There's alot more going on here than is evident at first glance, and the writers are careful to build things slowly. As before, the animation is superb, and the whole thing works very well from a technical standpoint, though I find myself relying on the captions instead of the recorded dialogue. It's a small price to pay for a great story.
