And subjected all the fair goes in my county to the best anime because I got placed in the special grand champion line up trophy case 😂 I recently found this and my ribbons again. Wanted to brag? A little 😅 Mostly I wanted to share my Duck I cherish. I would have loved my Duck no matter what she won lol

Discussion An absolute masterpiece

144 Upvotes

I know there have probably been a lot of posts like this here before but I finally got around to watching this show this year and it is genuinely one of my favorite anime that I’ve ever watched in 20+ years of being an anime fan. I watched it earlier this year with my gf and I loved it so much that I’m rewatching it with a friend just a few months later.

It’s just pure magic and hits me somewhere deep in my soul. I love how deeply artistic it is, not just in terms of the presentation but how it truly is a love letter to art itself. I think it’s one of the best exemplars of metafiction I’ve ever come across. A lot of times in other shows I’ve watched or books I’ve read the metafictional angle feels kind of forced, but in Tutu I really think that it’s perfectly done and fits so well with the message of “Don’t let anyone else write your story for you.”

The characters are also so much well-written, I love that the cast is small and they all go through so many changes and so much development throughout the story. None of the characters are anime tropes or cardboard cutouts even though you might say they represent sort of fairytale archetypes, they are fully fleshed out. And Ahiru is such an amazing protagonist, just such an endearing and lovable character. I love that she succeeds through empathy, compassion, and inner strength instead of through violence.

Honestly even writing about this makes me emotional, lately I’ve been feeling that the world is so dark and this show is just so inspirational and beautiful that it lifts me up a little bit. The only other anime that gets me this weepy and gives me a stone-in-the-throat feeling is One Piece.

10/10 masterpiece, will watch again.

Discussion How do the main characters dance

22 Upvotes

Hi, I'm thinking about doodling or animating one of my characters dancing see I take heavy inspiration from Princess Tutu as I love Ballet in a sense.

See my character is melioncholic, I admit I only know much about Ballet from Barbie movies and Angelina Ballerina, so I thought what better way then to ask you guys

To me I feel Like Ahriu/Duck dances well like herself yet she keeps going. She loves to dance and puts everything in it as Princess Tutu.

Rue/Princess Kraehe dances like well a Raven or a Swan, swift, elegant yet sharp. She's calculated follows to the letter, like winter.

Discussion I find it kind of strange that Drosselmeyer isn’t brought up more whenever I see art or discussion around the show. You’d think the overarching antagonist and cause of everything would be mentioned more.

Princess Tutu old YouTube video SEARCH

17 Upvotes

Ok I know this is going to be very niche, but there was a YouTube series I used to watch as a kid- to give a time frame roughly around maybe 2008-2013 idk exactly when because it was so long ago. So basically it was videos of like fan-made dialogue from all the characters from the anime. It was just still pictures from the show with text and I’m pretty sure old school nightcore music playing in the back.
ANYWAYS for some reason Sonic The Hedgehog was also in this fan made dialogue series. I can’t for the life of me remember what it was about or what it’s called, I just remember staying up late invested in drama with Fakir, Ahiru, Sonic and Amy. And I really really want to watch these again. If there’s even at least ONE person who knows what I’m talking about please 😭 it’s been keeping me awake at night trying to remember what once was

Princess Tutu where to watch.

69 Upvotes

Not a question, an answer. Dm me for the google drive link. Its outrageous that these companies can charge us to "own" Something and then take it away from us because their streaming license expired. Its outrageous that it costs almost 500-900$ to own the entire thing thing on dvd. tentatively posted link

Still one of my favorite couples ever in anime. These two definitely altered my brain chemistry as a kid.

I will always adore how even though they couldn't be "together" in the traditional sense, they still never left each other's side at the end.
