The final four episodes of Scrapped Princess get off to a rousing start with spectacular fantasy-styled mecha battles and a generous dose of (occasionally bloody) swordplay, magic, and BUG action, not to mention some battle wagons that are every bit as goofy-looking as the warships seen in earlier volumes.
In any other series the battles might be the highlight, but Scrapped Princess has never really been an action series; it has always been a fine balance of action, drama, and a bit of comedy, and doesn’t abandon this successful approach just to wrap up its story.
Scrapped Princess does not rank among the better series when it comes to its depiction and animation of horses, but its greatest artistic strength has always lay in its sharp, distinctive character designs and most especially in its even sharper use of costuming.
