Princess Tutu (2002)

My name is Duck. Yes, like the bird. Take it up with my parents. They never loved me!

The depths of despair…. I feel so calm here. I won’t be tricked by anyone anymore and I don’t have to resent anyone. There’s nothing here. Not even loving. Nothing but to keep dancing until I die away.

And so, the prince and the princess lived happily ever… Happily!? Happiness in stories is at most a trifling matter of a couple of lines at the end — the epitome of boredom. Now, show me a magnificent tragedy! A cataclysm of tears from which not one of the players is saved, and to which a happy ending never comes!
