Princess Tutu, ep. 19-22

[oyceter]

I am using my on crack icon because I feel it is entirely called for.

Wow. WTF?! Also: BBQ! and OMG! for good measure ;).

First off, I squee whenever they do something like having Hermia dress up as a donkey to play Ms. Bottom to deliver love letters because she secretly pines for Lysander. Hee!

And then... uh. Wow.

Talk about metanarrative!

I'm not actually sure what to say! Ahiru notices that people just seem to be born out of the gate! One of Drosselmeyer's distant relatives is named "Autor"! Fakir is Drossemeyer's descendent! Fakir can write stories that come true (sometimes)! There are Book Men! They cut off Drosselmeyer's hands much like someone cut off the feet of the girl with the red shoes! ZOMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?! This is awesome! It is so awesome! They're all in a story and they know it and no one can leave or really enter the town because it's not real! And then Tutu gets taken away by Drosselmeyer to the gear-world outside of the story, except there might be story outside of that too, because I don't know where the Book Men come from, and of course all of Fakir's books have the end torn out!

My brain hurts.

Now you're beginning to understand about the meta-meta-narrative that makes this show absolutely brilliant. But just you wait. I certainly can't wait until you post your thoughts on the last episodes.

It's so meta! I just... gah!

Sigh. And Netflix hasn't shipped out the last disc yet...

Yeah, I lent the first four disks to a co-worker, who only recently returned them, and I didn't want to buy 5 & 6 while I didn't have the first part around to rewatch, but now this is all making me want to finish off the series (again) oh so badly...

Oh it's so excellent! Now I'm sad that I hadn't watched it when I met with you so we could burble together. Next time!

There will be many more anime series that we can burble over, I'm sure. :-) And I look forward to it!
