Scrapped Princess - ep 1

A girl is traveling with two others who seem to be her bodyguards, a female and a male, although aside from that, they also look to have some sort of kinship together. The girl is the heroine, and it seems everyone is attempting to kill her as she's supposedly, according to some nonsensical gibberish revelation from who knows what, going to destroy the world when she turns 16 years old.

She's currently 15, and those two she's with protect her whilst they travel onward.

I was thinking this first episode was overall decent - and had me interested enough if I had nothing better to do, I'd watch it, yet there's a comical scene in the final minute which instantly made this quite a good one.

Scrapped Princess - ep 2

Someone joins the party of three, typical with fantasy series, and it becomes a wonderful party of four with enhanced comic relief. They find a fellow to affix their travels upon - a former knight, who contrary to what was presumed, is not too proud of his past lifestyle at all.

The dialogue is truly brilliant in this series.

I finished Scrapped Princess - was great, now watching Xam'd Lost Memories.

Xam'd was released many years ago - and when I started watching the first episode, I was baffled, the animation is leagues superior to everything, absolutely everything no exception, of the ongoing season.

Incidentally, Scrapped Princes similarly had superior animation - although not necessarily in terms of aesthetics, but in how effectively they were utilized. Original character designs with a unique concept alongside masterful camera editing - completely crushing any of the modern day garbage.

In any case, the first episode of Xam'd was rather busy - although there's apparently one entity flying around, another which dominates the ground, a third which seems to be a retaliation of some sort, and then several who are in between it all. Suicide bombing occurs and some kid transforms into what is presumably "Xam'd".

I finished Xam'd - it starts drifting apart in that the plot gets fairly more expansive than the first episodes ever imply.

Everything gets turned to "normal" by the end of it - peace is found, conclusion skips like 9 years forward or something. Nakiami ends up suppressed within some colossal spherical rock for 1000 years.

I started watching part of Night Wizard, assuming that's what it's called - although whatever it is, the main character is a highschool male, but not typical. In the opening few minutes, there was some demonic world fighting stuff I didn't even understand - and then later, the male protagonist, who looks very scruffy and like a street fighter of some kind, stood before a loli, grasping his school bag like his life depended on it, and said "I need to graduate from school or I'll bring shame to my family". The loli ends up wasting his time with monster hunting and who knows what the heck - yet indeed, seems like a good series thus far.

I've been rewatching a bunch of stuff, currently Haibane Renmei.

Rakka falls and then awakens in a peaceful city - the place seems to move quite subtle and happily, and it indeed is filled with many kind individuals amidst a relaxed atmosphere, although one quickly comes to see that sorrow remains inevitable. Unfortunately, nothing can remain forever - and I'm now in the process of entering my absolute favorite segment of this series. The sounds are notably fantastic - and the visuals do hit home.
