I took a long time getting over that as a title. It still makes me shake my head, and feel a compulsive need to EXPLAIN when I recommend it to someone. It fits the story as a title should, but it's hard to say with a straight face. It was my choice last year for "Most Unfortunate Anime Title".

And I totaly get the weirdness and girlishness of some of the stuff, especially the ballet, and the names like Princess Tutu. It's *way* more shoujo than anything I've enjoyed since Sailor Moon. Usually I'm not a big shoujo fangirl, but I make a few exceptions.
