Sep. 6th, 2005 02:18 amThe whole recent news of the second Princess Tutu DVD coming out makes me happy. So on a whim I visited the ADV official Tutu website, and watched the promo. Man, the promo SUCKS. Sure, they got the swan lake music, which is good. And the first two sentences are good. But then it peters out and you're left thinking that PT is just some kind of shallow magical girl romance for 8 year olds to watch.
Argh! ::headdesk:: I loved ADV's first PT dvd, but their marketing SUCKS. They're not getting into what makes this show so awesome. I'd NEVER watch it based on that promo. They need to touch on the weird, the dark, the meta, the fairy tales, the dancing anteater! Their marketing scheme lacks passion.
