Princess tutu is a really funny anime about a duck who can turn into a girl when wearing a magical pendant,that also allows her to turn into a ballet dancing heroine! Duck in girl form is a funny unsuccessful dancer,and her and her classmates are constantly threatened by their dance teacher (Mr.cat or Neko-sensai) into marriage....very funny! Definitely worth watching,story line:Drosselmeyer,a famous writer starts writing stories,that legitimately makes the stories come true,scared of bad things coming from this power,the town's people cut off his hands to prevent him from writing stories,his hands were cut off,before the end of one story in particular,named: The Prince and The Raven. Each episode introduces another story(ballet shows) including Don Quixote,Sylphide and other classics.Duck has a crush on a boy name Mytho,who's heart was shattered (he is the prince from the unfinished book)and Fakir,a direct relation to Drosselmeyer possesses the same power as Drosselmeyer,that of whatever is written becomes reality.The anime is one the best I have ever seen,and would recommend it to any ballet/anime fan!

I watched this with all of my siblings and we all love it so much. Duck and Fakir are so cute! I love the story.

Princess Tutu is ostensibly a shoujo magical girl series, from its name all the way down to its romantic quadrangle, and it fulfils the expectations of that genre wonderfully. But there's also an element of artistry that elevates it beyond simply being a well-done genre work. It's not just that the series wraps itself in high culture like ballet or literature -- it's that it actually manages to comment intelligently on these things while creating a beautiful visual work.

Princess Tutu filters the usual magical girl narrative through the strange logic of fairy tales and a healthy coating of Utena-esque surrealism. As the series progresses, the story begins to fall apart in an intentional and revealing way, and things get increasingly metafictional. What results will be a delight to both anime fans looking for entertainment as well as postmodern aficionados like myself.

There are a lot of relatively stand-alone episodes, and these tend to drag. I won't deny that the middle section of Princess Tutu bored me most of the time. But the end pulled it all back together, and it might have one of the best conclusions of any anime series I've watched. Don't be fooled by the silly title -- this show deserves to be taken seriously.

Princess Tutu was never really a popular anime nor did it make much of a discussion among anime fans but the anime critics at the time gave huge praise to Princess Tutu. This is what you call a hidden gem.

Princess Tutu is really unique. Its about ballet but I saw it as more of a fantasy adventure type of anime. It incorporates elements of fairy tales and stage plays to create a unique style. The ballet is used when Princess Tutu resolves conflicts by dancing to classical music, which the entire soundtrack is classical music. You'll hear Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Erik Satie, Chopin and more.

Princess Tutu is in my top 10 animes of all time. Its unique style is something i cant find anywhere else. Sure, other animes use classical music but Princess Tutu uses it in a fantasy adventure setting full of fairy tales and magic.

Even though its my top 10 favorite animes i choose to give it a score of 9. You might not get why Princess Tutu gets a whole lot of critical acclaim from the first few episodes but each episode just keeps getting better and better. Another thing is that the actual animation seems limited like the show is on a budget but even still the show gets by on such a great soundtrack and the animation seems like it tries to match the music almost like an AMV or like the disney movie Fantasia.

If you ask me Princess Tutu is a classic anime that is very unique and i cant think of any other anime i saw that is anything like it. Amazing anime. Even though i give it a 9 thats actually my highest score i gave so far since i have yet to give a 10 out 10 to anything yet and idk if i will ever give a 10 out of 10 it has to be the best series or movie ever for me to give a 10.

When I first saw the trailer of this anime on a volume of Kaleido Star,it was kinda pretty. But after buying the first volume,and the other two, I really loved it. My favorite characters in this one are: Duck,and Miss Edel. I know Duck has what it takes to be a dancer,all she's got to do is believe in herself,and work hard to achieve that goal. I also like the opening theme as well. What this series tells us that we all have to face greater challenges that lie ahead of us.All we have to do is do our best,and not mess up.The show also features the great voice talents of Chris Patton,and Luci Christian(famous for Pretear),Jay Hickman,and others. I really think I'm going to like this anime and keep collecting it on DVD. So in closing,if you have seen the preview, then this is the one to get. You will see what I mean
