Anime beckons again...

Here's a video of images from Princess Tutu, about a duck who dreams of becoming a girl, and then morphs into a magical dancing princess. That's just a garbled guess from a clip found on Will Shetterly's blog, but looks like fun to me. (He claims it's about the power of Story, not Ballet -- which he hasn't much use for.) The music is a Swedish group, and not soundtrack from the show. I think I need to find the group -- good stuff.

I've really been trying to resist Netflix. I have enough distractions in my life...

Princess Tutu is worth the other evils of Netflix. Many, many writer in-jokes, some interesting things to say about the nature and strength of story, several surprising twists. Also, the music is wonderful.

But don't take my word for it -- talk to janni and lnhammer. Because, yanno, I also like "Fruits Baskets," though for entirely different reasons...

Who needs Netflix when you know somebody who has the whole set at home on DVD? And it is indeed about Story, but the music in the anime is all wonderful ballet. It's very good.

That rocks. I've heard great things about it ... although don't bank on happy endings from Anime series!
