Princess Tutu is probably the best anime so far this century. (Only a few years,
so it's not too grand a claim). And yet hardly anyone seems to know about it.
I'm convinced it's because of its name. Probably doesn't sound as twee to
Japanese people. Anyway, the main point of this thread is to alert people to its
existence, basically as long as you're not upset by a bit of wierdness and
shoujo stylings, you have to see it. Anyone encountered it but been put off by
the name?
Best use of music ever in an anime, except maybe FLCL equals it in that
regard.
Tremendous character development, with likeable and consistent
characters.
And the story is unlike anything else in anime, or anywhere, for that matter.
And it packs all sorts of things into it.
omg, i so totally almost missed it
i mean, come on, hello? it's about ballet and a DUCK!
but it's really interesting and i had fun watching it
there's some seriously deep themes, too, if you're looking for them
i think the storyteller was the creepiest character of all
and neko-sensei is the most hilarious
I'v have watched it like 2years ago, its pretty interesting very
magicly shoujo like. I really enjoyed it and really deep. though it might turn
people off because of the ballet (which can seem pretty werid at times )
I really didnt like the ending though... kinda bad, but happy at the same time.
I admit some interest in it, but I've no desire to plunk down $20 on it when I
don't know all that much about it, and I've all but stopped downloading things
(mainly because I never watch them). If it ever shows up on TV I will probably
take a look-see.
I have watched this one 7 times so far, and I must say, this one really is
great, and not rubbish, as I supposed when I watched it for the first time.
However, minebann, I think .hack//sign is a little better than Tutu.
I got a preview of it, I just liked that cat in the series.
It looks promising, now I just have to find it and find the time to watch it.
=)
I love FLCL music, so with your comparison I'm pretty convinced of how good the
music is.
I liked it quite a lot. I agree with the first person that the tittle is not
very good; it makes it sound like a shojo about a girl that wants to be a dancer
or something like that...
I loved the way the story developed, everything happened just as if it was a
ballet play, and the ending was wonderful. I was expecting something more cliche
for a shojo anime, but it surprised me.
Quote by yamamotoyohkoI love this
anime but I got disappointed with the ending. I wanted Ahiru to get together
with Fakir. I hoped that Ahiru remained a girl.
I agree with you...i think the ending is suck! I did watch this anime last year
well I love this anime anyway. Except the ending ... wtf! *lol...how come the
cat can be a teacher...hehehe*
It is actually based on many ballet-plays and fairy tales it is a great mix of
both, every episode corresponds to certain ballet i.e. The Swan Lake, The
Nutcracker, Giselle...
The ending itself is quite different and very daring, that is why most people
don't like it. I really do like the ending, though it is very sad, but it is
very original and doesn't end like all the other shoujo stories, which are
pretty much the same, boring really. The ending was unpredictable and beautiful,
different and breathtaking.
Yes, I have and i think it's a good Anime! beautiful music and graceful
dances^^ and i like the character! they are so cute! I like the stoties too^^
Ah, A wonderfull anime^^

I'm not sure that it even has any real flaws.
Anyone else seen it?

That's the one based on Swan Lake, isn't it?

It is not based off of swan lake due to its Nutcracker music. <D
So it based off of the Nutcracker, which by the way is an AWESOME PLAY! >D
I wanted to see more but I don't have any money.
