A magical girl anime to give Madoka Magica a run for its money.
A lot of people have said that Princess Tutu is not what it looks like. It’s not as girly as it sounds. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Well… I actually disagree with this. In many respects, Princess Tutu is exactly what you might expect. It’s a magical girl fairy tale with romance, ballet, a fema…

I am not a Mahou Shoujo fan. The first one I ever watched, like many, was the [_Sailor Moon_](https://anilist.co/anime/530/Sailor-Moon/) dub while growing up. It was fine enough, but as I grew, I eventually…

One could write a deep dive, I imagine, into the ballet and folk tale motifs at the core of _Princess Tutu_. Call me uncultured but I am incapable of writing such a review, and yet I enjoyed the anime immensely. Its status as a cult classic magical girl…

Once upon a time, there was a duck. She was swimming in her pond one evening, when she happened upon a lonely, broken prince dancing alone by the water's edge. Her heart was immediately stolen by the handsome prince, and seeing his solemn, empty frolic, she wished there was a way she could help him.…

This is not the first time Japan has adapted Swan Lake, and it isn’t the last. Indeed, if you've been alive on this earth then you’ve probably spent a decent amount of your childhood surrounded by many different adaptations of the classic tale: the ballet, the animated movie, that one episode in eve…

When you look at the picture cover of a show, that’s usually the deciding factor on whether or not it is worth your time to experience watching it for most who don’t bother to look into depth on what the show is about mainly. There is the common notion of “Don’t judge a book by its cover” in many fo…

Warning: Possible spoilers ahead.
Who doesn't know them? The wonderful fairy tales you read as a child. It always comes down to these three words, "happily ever after". I'm saying, I apprieciate fairy tales, some are really nice and some are just the typical thing you'd expect. But, some people un…
