Princess Tutu, is a 2003 anime TV-series based on and around ballet.
Every episode features a different (real-world) ballet interwowen into the
storyline, complete with the original music. For example, the first episode
uses Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker". This series has quite exquisite
animation and graphics, and a very carefully designed soudtrack. The opening
and ending themes, called "Morning grace" and "Even though my love is so
small", are composed by Okazaki Ritsuko.
Voice acting is also very good. The actor (Katou Nanae) playing the main
character Ahiru (japanese for duck) has, approprietly, a very duck-like
voice (as it turns out, she is really a duck). Her devoid-of-all-emotions
counterpart, Mytho (played by Yanagi Naoki), makes a good job of portraying
a cool and unintentionally indifferent character. Unusually, there is a
storyteller, although he does play a part in the storyline in a quite
intriguing way.
As always, the names in the first few episodes of the fansubbed version
were incorrect, until the correct spellings could be obtained from
DVD-inserts:
(False - Correct)
- Mute - Mytho
- Fakia - Fakir
- Ruu - Rue
- Pike - Pique
- Ririe - Lilie
