Princess Jellyfish: The Complete Series (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)



Clara Here with This Week's Top Things you Don't Ask the Sisterhood.
Tsukimi is a shy and timid girl obsessed with jellyfish, living with her friends in an old-style apartment they refer to as the Nunnery. Not only do they have issues with mingling with the outside world, they have a fear of "The Stylish" that turns their resolve to stone. One day Tsukimi finds herself in quite the predicament, seeing two jellies that might harm or even kill one another in a pet store window, mixed in one tank. As she tries to intervene, a Stylish comes to her aid. This intervention turns into a whole lot more than she bargained for.

This is a nice release, tried out an advanced copy and I loved it. not only is the image crisp and the sound superb, but i was a bit surprised by the fact that both languages tracks are done well. Normally, the English is not worth watching but it is done pretty good - as well as dubbing goes anyhow - with this. Also included on the set is the Jellyfish Field guide, some commentary, and a few basics you get with many other sets...

Hail to the Geeks
Tsukimi Kurashita is an eighteen year old young woman living in an old apartment complex with the rest of "The Sisterhood" - a group of female otaku (nerds in the presumably worst sense of the word) with varying obsessive hobbies, Tsukimi's being a love of jellyfish. One day, a beautiful, confident young woman helps her rescue a jellyfish from the uninformed local pet shop and bunks in her room after they return to the apartment complex and see to the jellyfish. In the morning, however, Tsukimi is shocked and dismayed to find that the new pal she just had a sleepover with is actually a trannie.

Little does she know that the young man, Kuranosuke Koibuchi, is about to become the best friend of her life - and the best thing that ever happened to the apartment residents.

The dub ranges from good to excellent. Maxey Whitehead, best known for the stir she made upon taking over the role of Alphonse Elric in the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise once Aaron Dismuke had to...

Perfect for Every Hidden Princess!
Review by my daughter:

I live by the thought that every girl is a princess. So right off I loved it. I also am a "social outcast" and I freakout when I see really pretty girls or guys. (Also, like Mayaya-san, I'm a Three Kingdoms fan since I was very little.) The Sisterhood is a very likeable and quirky group that you can't help but cheer for! Kuronosuke is a great male lead and when he puts on his bra and wig it's like he has super powers! I adore him to death! All in all I would call this a great, heart-warming, feel-good anime. I've just started watching it but I can't wait to buy since it makes me feel so good and glad to be ME every episode!
Kyaa~! I'm going to start squee'ing and gushing now, so taa-taa all you darlings!
