Totally worth it, it really ramps up the further you go and it has amazing stories. Also a fan made a sequel that goes very well and in tune with the original Princess Tutu and even had a mangaka make pictures of the characters. The site died but its still available here

I actually asked ChatGPT and asked her to compare dating Ahiru with dating Emilyko from Shadows House who is very similar to Ahiru imo.
Emilyko is more contemplative so she'd want some tea and cookies before going to play at the park.
Ahiru is more active, so she'd want something like attending an art show such as a theater play or dance or even taking dance classes with her (to disastrous results).

What about it being a fanfic make it bad automatically? If it keeps up with the themes of the story and doesn't drastically changes the characters, it can be quite good. Hell, some fanfic writers can explore themes the original author didn't thin of or couldn't.

>>274998132
>What about it being a fanfic make it bad automatically?
Stories are the work of an author. The themes and the things they didn't explore are apart of what makes it theirs just as much as the things they did explore. It's a form of hubris to think you should actually take the stories to places that the original author didn't. To enjoy a story is to also enjoy the things it didn't do, so to speak. Largely though fanfics innocuous because everyone knows that once you say it's fanfic it's non-canon and actually meaningless, and at best just "kind of nice maybe"

>To enjoy a story is to also enjoy the things it didn't do, so to speak.
Yes, if its a well written story then it will be enjoyable. No one is passing it as canon, just mentioning that This Pendent Heart is well written as a sequel to the original that a fan made.
>>
>>274988802
I'm just so glad they made Fakir the true endgame. I love when a series surprises me with even better option. Ahiru and Fakir had some true chemistry between them. Nowadays pairings in manga and anime are so dull and sometimes they latch some random person for mc just so they can be with someone.

Agreed. I liked from these series that they didn't try to cater to shipperfaggots or offending their sensibilities so they just made sure to make well written characters and if they had chemistry, would pair them, and if they didn't, the story still had a good plot that could sustain on its own.

Couldn't watch the thing, animation was too cringy for me. But maybe a written version could be bearable.

>>274998055

>>274998300
To be fair, not all original stories are that complicated in the first place.
And anime products are more often than not the result of editorial imperative like "add this fetish girl, no it's not a suggestion"

So it is perfectly possible to capture the essence of a story.
I consider some fanfiction as having more value than the original show.
It's no different from a meme that get its own life.

Not at all, its a very different story that flows naturally from where Fakir decides to keep developing his writing abilities like Drosselmeyer

>What was your favorite Princess Tutu episode?
This one.

Princess Tutu does something that's unfortunately very rare in fiction.
A "normal" character meeting another whose very archetype is not normal in any way.

It's like discovering your school friend is a magical being, on a mission that make little sense but drive their entire existence, letting you discover their secret was an accident and woah they aren't used to normal interaction

That was pretty fun too, also their chemistry was amazing. Mine would be, since I enjoy drama, the one where Ahiru recovers Mytho's fear. And what was a cute episodic set of comedic episodes with Ahiru fumbling her way around her magical girl duties and her ballet studies ends with Mytho screaming his heart out and afraid, making Ahiru question her role in the story and whether giving Mython back his emotions really is something good. That's what made me realize this story was going to be something else and more serious than it looked on the cover.
I also liked the episode where Drosselmeyer forces Ahiru to dance in the sea of despair and Fakir has to stab his hand to stop the tragedy
>>275002835
Drosselmeyer is such a fun troll. He'd definitely be a 4channer shitposter

Supported by real evidence.
They would get along nicely and agree with each other script. Lilie probably has Drosselmeyer entire collection of tragic stories.

On one hand I totally agree with you but on the other hand this type of emphasis on the author is a relatively new phenomena. No one cared about Dante making shit up about Ulysses in his book because that's "not what Homer wrote".
>>
>>274998790
I never have performed in ballet but have watched many even by the time I got around to Princess Tutu, I used to go to the Nutcracker Ballet every December and it is my favorite piece of music/performance ever.

Oh yes I remember that, plus that solves the issue of free will imo. Why does it matter if its not real? In the end we're still gonna do what our emotions and urges demand
>>275006729
Yes I wonder if she didn't want to.
>>
>>275006897
I think that's not exactly equivalent. If Dante wrote an entire poem excitability only continuing the story Ulysses then it wouldn't have been as well regarded. Divine Comedy while largely contains homage to classical canon does end up doing its own new thing by tying into christian themes and ideas.
>>

I guess that is true, but we have well regarded works such as "The Aeneid" (speaking of Virgil and Homer) which was a story which was essentially an Iliad sequel written 700 years later. I'm just saying that it CAN happen if carried respectfully, with respect to canon, etc.. Not even saying that it should happen or if it is often pulled off well
>>
>>275007474
It's a sequel barely only in the sense that it continues from the events of the Iliad (specially only the fall of Troy, no other parts), but again it largely does it's own things being about Aeneid and the Roman creation mythos.

Princess Tutu is an anime original. I haven't read the manga adaptation but apparently it basically removes all the fairy tale aspects somehow. There were multiple people who worked on the script for the show though and all of them went on to work on plenty of other things.
>>
>>275013637
Oh yeah the manga adaptation is nothing like the anime. But I wonder if they did other good projects worth watching
>>
>>275013746
Anime writers jump around a lot more than mangaka. I'm looking at one of the people listed as working on some of Princess Tutu's episodes' scripts and she also worked on Naruto and Bleach, but also Ichigo Mashimaro, xxxHolic, and Yuri Yuri.

Junichi Satou actually is listed as being involved in the manga too so I don't know why it turned out so differently. The last thing the artist for the manga did was from 2010 and nothing that I recognize.

I remember thinking this had one of the best first episodes (or maybe first ~3 episodes) in anime and then hating it because of how repetitive retrieving the shards felt. I know this kind of motw format is inherently repetitive but I thought this show did it in a particularly annoying way.

>>275015155

This is why all anime should be watched at a pace of one episode per week. There are no exceptions to this.
>>
I wish we got a happy family life like this!
>>275015155
Except it got a metastory beyond the first episodes. Old shows like these require more than 3 episodes to start, which is why they were superior than the current shows aimed for ADD zoomers.

Only to serialized content that was intentionally designed around being consumed on a periodic basis. Anime was made with this in mind, which is why things like OPs and EDs exist. If consumed back-to-back, they're just repetitive. But on the expected weekly basis, they're much more enjoyable. Likewise, episodic anime becomes much more entertaining when you're not experiencing the repetitive parts too quickly. Flashbacks aren't annoying and actually serve their intended purpose. Magical girl transformations, giant robot finishing moves, and rare unique stuff like Endless Eight all expect you to be consuming it weekly with how they're paced.
