~Princess Tutu Specials - 3 Episodes




  • Both Tutu and Kraehe's outfits are based on Swan Lake's Odette and Odile. -ANN
  • Many Fans get confused by the number of episodes in this series. The Japanese version contains 38 episodes, because the second season was divided into 15 minute acts instead of 30 minute broadcast, While in the English dub there are only 26 episodes. ADV combound the 15 minute acts into actual episodes. -ANN
  • Differences in manga adaptation:
    The manga shares similarities with the anime, although some elements are different. Drosselmeyer is absent in the manga, with Edel taking his place. Edel herself is also drastically changed and is the one who initially gives Ahiru her pendant. The manga also gives a different ending to the story. -absoluteastronomy.com

I love this anime! Although the ending was slightly disappointing, it's still one of my favorites!

This is my favorite anime and it came at a time when my interest in anime (and manga kinda) was at a low. I remember desperately trying to get both raws and subs of it on Winny at first, but now that it is licensed (very surprising), I own some lovely DVDs.

There's a lot of development in the overall story and characters throughout the series. I liked the ending too, in a way. It seemed fitting. Overall, I thought the story was well written and I liked the "frame story" setup with Drosselmeyer.

This is also the anime that put Sakurai Takahiro on my "map." I heard him before, but his role as Fakir is one of the best. :) Partially due to this and his massive character development, Fakir is my favorite character and even earned a "favorite character" slot here.

OMG, I don't even know why that manga exists. It inspired me to create a 'crap' tag in my manga list. ;-p

Wow so the manga is really that bad eh? Guess I should feel lucky that I have only seen the anime series itself.

Though I was reluctant to watch it, I started.
Though it seems simple and childish, it have something that makes me watch it.
Anyway I like it ^^
