I have this show, but have yet to watch more than the first episode of it. Duty calls, and there's also this little irritating fact that I have to get through several other anime shows first.
You should watch Princess Tutu. You really should. It's hard to describe, except to say that it's so obviously influenced by fairy tales, one of the key figures is a fairy tale author.
