Princess Tutu is such a favorite of mine! Hope I was able to at least somewhat do it justice. It was fun doing all the research for the music and ballet costumes/dances. I learned a lot.

Here's the link to the first episode of Princess Tutu Zwei. You should check it out if you're a fan of the anime, I don't think you'll regret it!
