I'd offer a summary for it... but you wouldn't BELIEVE how complicated a task that would actually be. And you don't really understand it until you watch it-- kind of like FLCL that way. It just never comes out right when trying to describe it to someone else. The most simplistic way to summarize would be, I suppose: The NeverEnding Story meets Swan Lake meets Kiki's Delivery Service. And that really doesn't tell you much about it.
But, if you like: classical music, ballet, theater, mythology, fantasy, fairy tales, books, storytelling, or the movie Dirty Dancing, you'll probably find something to like in Princess Tutu. Or love. There's a lot to love. This series really josses its audience in the sense that how you see it in the first two episodes is nothing like how you see it 10, or 20, episodes later. Every episode is better, more confusing, more weird, and more wonderful.
So... anyone else have love for this show? And remember, I haven't seen the last six episodes so please don't tell me the end if you know it. Thanks.
