Princess Tutu 2
Furries come hither.
So, Duck is a duck. But she is also Princess Tutu. So she will be a girl until she acts like a duck (i.e. say "quack" (or as Duck says it, "quock")). She has to go into water to change back to normal, but she comes out nekkid. I really hope they don't repeatedly play this for laughs, but...they probably will. Oh well, I can take it, just as long as it's genuinely funny every now and then.
An anteater girl decides to ask Mytho out to spite and hurt Rue, the beauty from the special class. Mytho says yes, because he is the prince from the story who has had his heart scattered around. So, he has no emotions and doesn't give a fuck. Oh, and that weird dude is named Drosselmeyer or something, and he was writing the story.
So Anteaterina challenges Rue to a dance-off in class to try and take her spot in the special class. She dances with Mytho. Rue dances with Duck. She likes Duck, because she tried to warn her about seeing Mytho with Anteaterina, and she thinks she's a good person.
Then Duck locates one of the parts of Mytho's heart. It is the feeling of bitterness and anger. I might be wrong on the latter, but I remember the former. The feeling sucks its way into Anteaterina, but Princess Tutu overcomes it, and does a beautiful dance with her. Or at least as beautiful as a dance can be when done with an anteater. Now, Mytho has a feeling back, and Fakir be not pleased, it appears. Is he the raven in the story? We'll see.
I like Princess Tutu's transformation sequence. It's a little short, but sometimes they go on too long, and it is very well done.
So as this goes on, it appears I'm going to have to expect the unexpected. Because the narrator says that when the prince and the raven broke off the pages of the story and came into the real world, they severed the boundary between fantasy and reality. Which is probably why we have a girl who's a duck, a girl who's an anteater, and a teacher who's a cat. There's probably gonna be some pretty far out stuff, and I'm excited to see it.
