Princess Tutu (anime)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: At one point, Edel has a tray full of jewels and offers one to Ahiru/Duck. She says its name is "Dream." Ahiru/Duck starts asking what some of the others are... "Hope." "Adventure." "Mystery." "Artistic License." ("Author's Prerogative," in the English dub.) <!-- Whoever put this on the main page obviously isn't a writer. -->

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: In the second half of the series when {{spoiler|Fakir calls out to Ahiru/Duck after she has been taken by Drosselmeyer in order to bring her back.}}

** The Aesop is on itself a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] coupled with the ending..

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Considering that the soundtrack is entirely taken from famous ballet/classical pieces, ''all'' the music in this show might qualify.

* [[Genius Bonus]]: Rivals ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' for the sheer number of these. Naturally, these are all related to music, dance, and so on, but most people would have to see the translator's notes to get half of these. Big example of [[Shown Their Work]].

* [[Ho Yay Shipping]]: You ''will'' get an "abusive boyfriend" vibe from Fakir toward Mytho; and depending on who you ask, there's also subtext between Ahiru and Rue, as well as Autor and Fakir.

** An in-universe example occurs in episode 17, where a raven blood-addled Mytho temporarily regains control and performs the mime for love...in front of Femio. A good few hearts are broken by this "revelation".

** Another in-universe example: When Fakir returns to school after being suspended, Mytho gives him a hug. Cue a roomful of girls screaming with delight. One even faints.

** And an example for Rue and Ahiru: their pas de deux in the first series. C'mon, why would Rue, a girl, want to dance with another girl?

** Fakir acts like a very possessive, abusive lover to Mytho. {{spoiler|When you find out the reason is because Mytho has no self-preservation instinct in his heartless state, it makes more sense and turns the [[Ho Yay]] up a notch.}} Also, during the promotional video, Fakir and Mytho are seen dancing together, and Fakir embraces him from behind. {{spoiler|And upon his suspension ending and Fakir returning to school, Evil!Mytho gives him a great big hug in front of the entire class, which they definitely take notice of.}}

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Kraehe, before becoming a flat-out Woobie.

* [[Memetic Molester]]: If he's not already, Drosselmeyer ''should'' be one. [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase|Children who like stories, come here!]]
