The Scrapped Princess is an interesting story because of it's mash up of genre's. The story is resolved within it's 24 episodes but the resolution changes the world to such a degree you can't help but wonder a bit about the end of the story.
The main story is very simple. It's about a young girl and her step brother and sister and their struggle to find a life free from danger. However, as the story progresses you start to learn that there is so much more to the story that the characters can not even understand or contemplate.
The artwork is a little older with muted colours but the designs are still very good and the animation is very polished.
Not all of the characters develop in the story which I think makes the story just a little flat. However, a number of the characters within the story do develop to different degrees.
The conflicts are essentially fairly easy to understand but towards the end I feel like both the characters and the viewers are confused to greater and lesser degrees. It does explain everything in a way that the viewer will understand, but at the same time it's just a tip of the iceberg type of understanding. The explanation suggests a much larger story that is not explained in much detail.
Overall, I give the Scrapped Princess a 3 out of 5.
