Hey guys!

Last night I thought I'd poke around Wikipedia, and ended up spending two hours playing with the Princess Tutu entrypage. I added an entire new section: Themes and Arcs.

I added the following subsections:

-Storytelling, Writing, and Meta
-Free Will vs. Destiny
-Transformation, Anthropormorphism, and Existential Identity
-A Prince With Two Princesses, A Princess With Two Princes
-Fairy Tales, Myths, and Legends
-Ballet, Opera, and Classical Music

I filled in the entries for "Free Will vs. Destiny" and "A Prince With Two Princesses, A Princess With Two Princes", I added quotes to the start of the meta entry, and I started a bit on the ballet entry, but I had to stop since I actually know very little about ballet except the ability to identify it when I see it. There's a SPOILER WARNING for the entire "Themes & Arcs" section, so be warned! I didn't spoil the ending of the series, but the PT entry as a whole includes several spoilers for the end of season one and quite a bit of the plot of season 2.

Anyway, I was hoping you guys might step up and fill in some of the sections! Because I'm tired, and plus I'm pretty sure any attempt I could make at a coherent explanation of "storytelling, writing, and meta" in Princess Tutu would make absolutely no sense and jump around like crazy.

Edit as you please, folks!

P.S. Under the discussion of anthropormorphism, it'd be really cool if anyone knew about the Japanese mythological character of the cat spirit who seeks a bride. I believe Neko-sensei is a combination of that character and Puss In Boots. The cat spirit who is searching for a bride has shown up in other anime series... the one I remember most clearly is from Ranma 1/2. Unfortunately I have no idea what the story behind that is, but if someone does that'd be a cool thing to include--- I know that people I've spoken to who've seen the series always ask why Neko-sensei is threatening his students with marriage.
