Oh, I've heard this was a good series, but I never got around to reading / watching it either. But. Duck. DUCK. I'm still amazed that this happened.

PRINCESS TUTU IS HER OWN MASCOT CREATURE!! I've seen the first five episodes so far, and it's really a good series.

Also involves a lot of stories within stories/creating stories stuff, which I think might appeal to you since you like Sandman.

OMG IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING. I'm so glad you're enjoying it thus far!!!!

- Fakir is absolutely a jerk at the start and while I love him so very very much, I would never excuse his behaviour because SUCH AN ASSHOLE. (Mildly spoilery: it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it does get better and his character arc is fantastic.)

- RUE/AHIRU IS A THING I DO NOT SHIP BUT ALSO A THING I REALLY AM GLAD THAT PEOPLE SHIP. Also, I am writing an original fairytale thing where the two main characters are based off Rue and Ahiru and then they fall in love. That is the way in which I do not ship them.

- Anteaterina/Arikuimi: fear not you will see other weird animal ballerinas and it is the best.

I have seen the first five episodes! It's very good.

And in the fifth episode Fakir SHOVED AHIRU AGAINST A WALL which is probably not what you meant about it getting worse but she's so tiny. ...also locked Mytho in a dark room, which I guess is worse. "Soon he will be numb to the darkness!!!!" oh Fakir. I can see your point but wow. (Also he figured out that Ahiru is the one messing with the heart shards! I am surprised this was not dragged out longer. ETA: Watching ep 6, and I guess he hasn't. But he at least strongly suspects she knows about Mytho being the story prince so.)

...Silvie.

Every combination of the four leads is interesting so far though, which pleases me.

Animal ballerinas!!

...Silvie.

WHAT.

Ohhhh, Fakir. (This show is actually really good about not dragging out the Clark Kent/Superman obliviousness for characters for whom that doesn't make sense. It is refreshing!) Anyway, you should look forward to episode 10! Though really everything after episode 10 is also excellent with regard to every single character SO.

In episode 8 HE SLAPPED MYTHO!! And was mean to Ahiru. And then fed her tasty bread.

Also he tried to shatter Mytho's heart, but slapping and yelling seem a lot worse to me. ...I mean there's obviously some sort of reason for the shattering so.

Also Rue ;;

I tend to forget just how much of an ass Fakir is for the beginning of the show, because I tend to watch the first episode, decide I can't wait, and just skip to the second half of the series when things start getting intense /o\ But really he does get SO MUCH better, his arc is great and watching both him and Ahiru move along their paths and grow into themselves is so wonderful.

Basically the world would be a better place if all battles were fought through classical ballet, and ended in people resolving their emotional issues.

(hello Silvie told me you were liveblogging and I haven't been on livejournal in so long!)

HE WAS BEING SO TERRIBLE it was distressing to watch. I'm starting to see his awesome though.

Yes agreed. I like that emotions are treated as both important and complex. And that some of the earlier emotions Mytho regains aren't "warm" emotions, but stuff like frustration and sorrow. Because those are important too.

(hi hi!! I've been getting back into lj lately because I like talking. Also I yelled to Silvie about The Following OT3/Emma feels here even though she doesn't actually watch it. ...god that is a weird combination of shows.)
