Princess Tutu

[logicbutton]

I haven't paid it much attention in recent months, but rashaka's post reccing an AMV (I heartily endorse this recommendation, by the way) got me thinking about Princess Tutu again. So I was going to make a boring-ass post talking about how much I love it and how everyone should see it because it is awesome, but to be honest, it isn't for everyone. I don't mean to imply that there's any kind of objectionable content, because there isn't, or that it's of low quality, because it definitely isn't, but it's not something that everyone across the board will love. So, yeah, not for everyone. But it is definitely for me. Actually, as 100% of octopedingenues will agree, I mean that literally.

Things I Love That Directly Relate To My Belief That Princess Tutu Was, Like, Made Especially For Me Personally

-the German language
-fairytales
-dancing
-classical music in general
-Carnival of the Animals
-Pictures at an Exhibition
-program music (music written to capture and portray the essence of something specific, like, say, lions, or the great gate of Kiev)
-instrumental soundtracks (such as, for example, music from The Nutcracker)
-meta
-stories with an underlying mystery
-nutty cats

Seriously, guys, if they'd had any mathematical references in there I would have become convinced that the producers had been stalking me for the past twenty years or so. Maybe they have been anyway.

But, yeah, if any of the above are also things that you love, Princess Tutu might be for you.

I have no Princess Tutu icons. Why the hell not?
