Well, I'm sure some of you have seen at least the first episode of this when it was shown, but here's a plot recap.
Pacifica Cathule is a 15 year old girl who, when born, was prophesied would destroy the world on her 16th birthday, and so has been sentenced to death. She is on the run from the church and the government with her foster siblings.
As the series progresses, various other powerful factions are introduced, notably the Peacemakers (who act as emissaries of God), and the Dragoons (who are living weapon systems).
The series maintains a light-hearted attitude throughout, although this counts against it somewhat, in that there was rarely much tension. I didn't feel the character development was pulled off well enough, so that whenever something sad happened, like a character dying, I just didn't care, which is a bad sign. Occasionally characters would do things, or events would happen which made no real sense, and disrupted the logical flow of the story. Also, the ending had no sense of conflict, it was very much a "Well, everything was fine, because the bad guys weren't really evil, and they just couldn't be bothered any more". Having said that, it's hard for an anime to come up with a good ending, so I don't count endings towards the quality of a series too much.
Overall, I'd say this was a mediocre series in my opinion. Not bad, just not as good as it could have been.

Cheers for the mini Review... im currently watching this series... upto episode 14 now (ill be watching that in bed before i fall asleep) So far ive actually enjoyed this quite a bit... I was curious to see what it was like, after hearing it got voted out at the first showing... Somehow it drew me in very quickly and im really enjoying it. I know this post doesnt really contribute anything or add anything to the review, so ill just give it a thumbs up for now

Every now and again I think about Scrapped Princess again in a "Hey, that was pretty good" but then I remember actually it kind of sucked and it just had a fucking rad OP.
