brendalaI drew this comic immediately after watching episode 12 of Princess Tutu (and I had the other episodes on in the background while finishing it). I know I can't be the only one who wanted to see this ending when watching that episode for the first time:
===
Despite what I said in the comic, I do like the canon ending and the series overall. I just couldn't let this idea go. XD
======
Review of the sereis overall:
I was actually pleasantly surprised by it. At first, it seems like a typical "Magical Girl" anime with one or two OMG!DARK twists thrown in to keep it interesting. But it did a great job deconstructing fairy tale tropes and messing with audience expectations in a way that felt natural and in-character for everyone involved.
I especially liked how it handled Duck's relationship with Mytho (or "Muto" or "Prince Siegfried" or whatever the hell his name was XD). She initially falls for him because he's a handsome prince with ANGSTY PROBLEMS. But the puppy love fades once she gets to know him as a person and a friend (and it helps that a hotter, more exotic boy enters the picture later on).
And I liked how Rue actually got decent development beyond "bitchy romantic rival with a sad backstory". And even though I think her friendship with Duck could have been built up better; I still melted at their little "I love you" scene in the last episode.
In short, the show was better than I thought it would be. Thank goodness Netflix carries it!
Also, I want to buy the DVDs now because it turns out ADV packed them with nifty extras. Specifically, awesome stuff like this:
I saw these bloopers before I watched the show. And it made it difficult to take it seriously for a while. XD
