The 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.

They really just need to show the prologue from one of the episodes - I know it was the opening that made me go '...asmndasjkdaksd I'M GOING TO LOVE THIS AREN'T I.'

Because yes! they're marketing this as a stereotypical shoujo aimed at the ten and under crowd and it is very much not just for them, oh no.

I ran across their mailing address online, so I wrote them a letter by hand last night and I'm mailing it out today.

I remember when I first asked in January if anyone else was watching the series and you asked about it, I had nothing but that stupid trailer to direct you to!

More adults need to watch this series, and they're not going to if the series' name and that trailer are all the temptation they have.

No kidding.

I remember I was really suspicious of its worthiness and ONLY watched it because you were falling over your own feet trying to make us look at it. But that should be the job of a marketing team, not us viewers.

This is really just an unsubtle reminder that I need to finish my Princess Tutu fic, isn't it? (I'm kidding. *g*)
