Story 9/10
The story is simple: a duck is brought into the story by the author and is given the power to turn into Princess Tutu in order to restore Prince Myuuto's heart. However, despite the concept being simple, this anime runs a lot deeper than that: it deals with themes such as suffering, fate, right/wrong, love, and happy endings. Like traditional magic girl, Duck transforms into Princess Tutu every episode to help people with her magical dancing.
Art 9/10
The art felt like a fairy tale and I loved the art style of this show. The school uniforms the girls wear look like tutus and it really pretty to look at.
Sound 8/10
The sound was beautiful and most of it was dancing themed.
Character 8/10
I love the portrayal of the characters in this show. Without going too much into detail, everybody is not who they appear in the first few episodes. The first half of the anime makes it feel like a traditional magic girl, but the second half is when the character's true selves come out.
One part I didn't like about the characters was some of them were annoying. Some of the characters are randomly animals while others are just plain annoying (I found Duck's friends to be extremely annoying)
Enjoyment 10/10
I was hardly bored watching each episode. In fact, I was excited to see the heart shard of the week and what would happen next. The second half was extremely addicting.
Overall 9/10
If you are a fan of magic girl, this show is a must-watch! I would recommend this show to people who have enjoyed Sailor Moon, Mermaid Melody, and Cardcaptor Sakura.
