Sarah Shockey is warm, funny, and passionate in general, but when it comes to her love of Princess Tutu, all those traits are simply intensified. Anime fans can rejoice in this episode topic's slight obscurity, but everyone can appreciate how much fun we have as she explains the ins and outs of this wonderful little show. I don't have too much of a working knowledge of anime (I think I manage to mention everything anime-related that I've ever seen), but I think the description of the workings of the show really hit home the nature of how intricate and layered it can be in the best ways. I don't think Sarah would even consider herself a huge anime person in general, which I think makes it all the more interesting that this is a show she loves so much. We cover the romances, attention to animation in dance sequences, and odd humor that made her fall for the show in the first place, and it was all a delight.
