I wasn't going to buy this, but Kira-san insisted that I try it, so I bought this and two more volumes of it. To put it bluntly, I shouldn't have bought any. At worst, I should've bought just one volume. This anime tries to look cool by asking questions with no answers. Heck, sometimes, the question isn't even there because the show doesn't know what exactly it is asking. Of course, if it did, it wouldn't look cool.

I love asking question. People don't ask nearly enough questions. I mean, there're so many things we should be wondering about. However, when people aren't even looking for answers to basic things they don't know about, why bother asking strange question that don't even help you? I loved the questions asked in the intros of Princess Tutu episodes. For example, regarding the "Sleeping Beauty," did she really want the prince to wake her up? I mean, damn, that's one great question. It's even better that the show didn't try to dig into it any deeper nor did it try to obfuscate the question.

It's too bad that my ordering habits make it hard to receive the first volume of a series without having ordered at least another volume. If I could, it would save me a lot of money.
