Scrapped Princess
This incredibly compelling anime is the fairy tale-esque story of a 15-year-old princess, Pacifica, who is prophesized to destroy the world when she turns 16. As a result, she was cast away immediately after birth, and thought dead. The 24-episode TV series picks up just as it is discovered that the “scrapped princess” is alive, having been rescued and raised by villagers. Pacifica and her adopted brother and sister, Shannon and Raquel, attempt to escape from the assassins sent to kill the Princess by moving from town to town with only a wagon and a few possessions to their names. Raquel is a mage and Shannon a skilled swordsman, but Pacifica is defenseless…until, of course, the prophesized power begins to manifest in her.
This show, great for fantasy buffs and shounen or shoujo fans alike, was directed by Soichi Masui and stars many popular seiyuu, such as Shinichiro Miki (Weiß Kreuz, Matantei Loki Ragnarok, Last Exile) as Shannon Casull. It began airing in 2003 and finished up its run 24 episodes later.
