Princess Tutu gets a lot rave as being one of the better shoujo animes. Here's one example comming from the "anime guru" at animename.com John Opplinger.

"Largely overlooked because it's overtly a magical girl show for pre- adolsecent girls, a show about ballet dancing no less, Princess Tutu revealed a startlingly morbid and morally ambiguous undercurrent the like of which hasn't been seen in shoujo anime since Utena. Lush and exquisite art design make Princess Tutu simply a joy to look at, and its exploration of the dark side of fairy tales and their themes of unrequited love, punishment, cruelty, loneliness, fear, and sorrow balanced with hope, love, and friendship give the show an atmospheric style far more mature and philosophical than its outward appearance suggests." -John Opplinger - Animenation

Strange fact about Princess Tutu the person that wrote Hellsing also wrote Princess Tutu.

Try getting the show off IRC. For more information visit: The fansub group's website that subs the show - http://www.hikarinokiseki.com/ There IRC channel is on irc.enterthegame.com and the room is called #hikarinokiseki

Iīve seen up to episode 6 and Iīm loving this little series. I donīt know how to decribe it to be honest, itīs sure a wierd shoujo but in a nice way. So if you are willing to give it a try with an open mind to whatever Princess Tutu throws at you then donīt think it twice, you may find yourself sucked into the story ^_~ 

Note: not recommend for people who just likes mecha or fightings, because if you do (just loving lots of "boom" action then youīd better donīt see this one or youīll go through a nos to pleasen 15 minutes viewing xDD

*Groan* Have you seen more than five episodes of this series? If not than go watch more instead of bringing such a fool opinion into my house! Now I know everyone is entitled to their own tastes- but to say the show is lousy is pure and utter ignorant bull. I can understand if you're one of those heavy mecha/action fans that fast- forward through scenes with character development *chuckle* but Princess Tutu is complete genius, once you get past the first few episodes it'll enrapture you to the end faster than Berserk. It's one of the best Shoujo Anime ever... naw.. THE best Shoujo Anime ever, goofy title and all.

Oh yeah, to find it, go to AnimeSuki for fansubs. ^_^
