Where I watch Princess Tutu, episode 8

[cypsiman2]

Hmm, so Rue doesn't know that she's Princess Kraehe, who Fakir calls an Avatar of the Monster Raven, and now has become very concerned about who she really is...I like it! Character's suffering from a crisis of identity is always the kind of plot-line that I enjoy, and since everyone but Fakir is dealing with this issue one way or another, this show is very enjoyable to me.

Oh, and speaking of Fakir, he made a few steps forward this episode, but he also made about a dozen backwards...and now he's wielding the sword of the Prince, the one that pierced and broke Mytho's heart in the first place, and unless there's been a gross misunderstanding on my part, it would seem that Fakir was the person who originally broke Mytho's heart! Indeed, the opening narration said that the prince killed his friend to save him, and that his sword knew that it would have to kill the prince for there to be peace...this has become a lot more complicated than it was at first, so hopefully we'll start getting some answers before too terribly long.

"Will the real Rue please stand up? "

No. Quit asking.

Really? That's a shame, the real Rue was going to get this really awesome gourmet dark chocolate bar...

If you enjoy identity issues, Tutu is definitely for you! XD

It definitely feels like it is!

So, yeah, I think I'm going to go for a good Rue icon. Know where I can find some?

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Princess Tutu with its story roles really is good at having characters with identity concerns.

Big time!

Oh, and I've just found my Princess Tutu icon, I hope you don't mind. ;)

Oh, sorry it took me so long to respond. I see you have one now.

Just let you know, illusionstudios makes some excellent Tutu icons. Just in case you want more later.

Btw, it can be difficult to talk about Princess Tutu without giving away massive spoilers. So, many of my comments might be rather brief and/or cryptic.

I wrote a fairly long post on my love for Rue a little while back, which I link you to when you're done because...huge spoilers. I'm so glad you're liking her character!

I do appreciate you keeping it brief, since it can be really difficult to avoid spoilers.

I'll keep that in mind, I think I'll definitely be looking forward to it by the end!

No probs! It's a lovely icon. If you want more Tutu icons later, the sorceresses icon community, although not updated since 2008, has a lot of gorgeous ones. But with Princess Tutu there's a risk of being spoiled for later episodes while looking at icons.

I'll have to give that place a look once I'm done with the series then! :D
