I've watched further into Scrapped Princess.
This series is escalating quickly as of episode 15. Pacifica and the siblings get into more fights than I expected would be possible for people being hunted. I thought this was going to be a long trek on foot to another country, but as soon as we as much as see the next country, we just leave. It was disappointing.
Spoilers!
First: Is the sci-fi nature of the setting meant to be a mystery? The first shot of the TV series is already a give away IMO. Maybe it was a mystery for a while in the light novel.Second: So the Scrapped Princess is a plan for human liberation from a controlled world. What's weird is the only thing the ancients could help the imprisoned with was the right genetic stock. If only more people than one were to be immune to pacifier control. Also I imagine since the pacifiers were created by humans they would allow this genetic stock a power that exploited a vulnerability of theirs or something.
Third: I bet the explanations from everyone in the know sound like technobabble to our main characters, but they never question the specif content of their explanations very much.
I also rewatched the first episode of Log Horizon yesterday. The English dub is great, and Naotsugu's dudebro voice is so perfect.
