evilredmenace.livejournal.comHi there. I stumbled upon this community after watching the entirety of the anime series as of last night. I wanted to share a few observations, thoughts, and particular shipper-persuasions. But here's me:
Name: Evilredmenace
How I discovered Scrapped Princess: It was actually recommended by a coworker of mine. I had been bitching about the lack of female asskickers found in anime, and he had heard that this particular series had some potent strong women. Turns out it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but I *loved* the sibling camaraderie between Raquel, Shannon, and Pacifica. I thought the entire series should have been spent exploring that.
The character(s) I will defend with bike chains and broken beer bottles if I see anyone bashing him/her/them: Shannon. Shannon is great. Bring on the rather considerable overindulgent hairstyle (mullet?) and his nonchallance.
How I plan to contribute: I have the combined art skills of an especially ambitious toddler. Thus, no fangirl art from me. However, I have been playing around with a few possible fics, centering on, again, the sibling dynamic that I thought was the overall heart of the show. I also have some valid critiques of the series, which I hope will spark some debate and flagrant attempts at my life. :)
Level of exposure: The entirety of the anime.

Further Thoughts: I was thoroughly disappointed in the Pacifica character as a whole. I actually agreed with the Beast Princess's deduction that she relied far too heavily on her siblings for protection. It wasn't even sort of a request; it was a mandatory insistence. In that regard, it kept her a child of circumstance... I kept expecting her to rise up, or at least be aware of her weakness and privledge, and do something to rectify/accomodate it. Suffice to say, it never happened.
I actually joined the discussion @ the Anime Academy about this series. If you haven't joined, I'd check it out:
