Synopsis:

Once there lived an eccentric author called Drosselmeyer who wrote grand tragedies - one of them was the tale of a prince who sealed away an evil raven by breaking his own heart into tiny pieces. However, before the story could be completed, the author died and the tale took on a life of its own. Now, in a town where fiction and reality meet, the story continues on its tragic course with Ahiru, a duck who transforms into the beautiful Princess Tutu in order to restore the prince's heart. But will Ahiru's act of love be enough to defy the story's terrible destiny and lead to a happy ending?

Completely different concepts, and yet, a similar dark and moody feel to them. Victorian type music and interesting characters round out both series, and in general, this is just a recommendation I make on a hunch. If you liked one, I'm really thinking you'd like the other, but don't take my word on it.. try it for yourself!

Saikano

Saikano

In the not-so-distant future, mankind is at war with itself. The lives of Chise and Shuu are torn apart when Chise is chosen to become the ultimate weapon to fight for Japan against their enemies. Death, sadness, and the hardships of love accompany Sai Kano in its grim look at war and its consequences.

Tutu and Saikano are both utterly beautiful tales of love, loss, and sacrifice. If one broght tears to your eyes, then the other one will as well.

Scrapped Princess

Scrapped Princess

The god Mauser delivered unto a world of magic a prophecy: if the Scrapped Princess is allowed to live, she will destroy the entire world. But the knight who was to kill her could not end the life of a newborn child, and so she lived. Fifteen years later, her adopted brother and sister have sworn to protect her, and together they travel from town to town, searching for a life she can't have.

Two young girls who are outgoing and enjoy life in general can't seem to make any friends. The stories are very much different but the underlying plot is pretty much there. If you need a self esteem booster these shows will please you well.

Sirius no Densetsu

Sirius no Densetsu

Fire Children and the Children of the Water can never be together. Long ago, the God of Water and Goddess of Fire existed together as one entity, until the jealousy of the God of Wind drove a wedge into their relationship. They separated, and it became the law of the earth that their people must never see each other again. Now that the new heirs to the thrones are soon to be crowned, the Prince of the Sea is drawn to the ocean’s surface and meets the beautiful maiden that is the Princess of Fire. A fantastic love is formed between the two, but the flavor is bittersweet when all they can do is hide the fact that they have met. Love is powerful, but is theirs strong enough to withstand the will of the Gods?

The theme of forbidden love with two very different beings in Sirius no Densetsu and Princess Tutu are the common denominator throughout the series.

So-Ra-No-Wo-To

So-Ra-No-Wo-To

Kanata Sorami, a young Private in the army, arrives in Seize to serve in the Clocktower Fortress and learn the trumpet under the tutelage of Master Sergeant Rio Kazumiya. Though peace hangs uneasily over the world, Kanata finds a relaxing routine of laundry, shopping, and trumpet practice greets her at her new post instead of brutal drilling and discipline. With help from the other members of the all-female 1121st Platoon, Kanata finds her place in the bustling city, bringing joy and humor to the war-weary residents while learning a great deal about the world.

Princess Tutu and So-Ra-No-Wo-To seem like they're going to be cute fluffy shows about cute girl(s). And they are- at first. And then the plot kicks in and hot damn things get unexpectedly dark/twisted, which all culminates in a finale that pits each show's cast (who all end up more complex and nothing like what you would expect from the first episode) against an overwhelming antagonist and seemingly impossible odds, and all of this takes place in some sort of psuedo-European setting.
