Should I wait before watching the rest of Princess Tutu?

[alias_sqbr]

lizbyrd very kindly lent me her Princess Tutu dvds, and I just finished season 1. It reached a moderately happy and satisfying ending (given the sweetly heartbreaking Hans Christian Anderson fairytale-ish tone) but I had a sudden vague memory of someone saying that you should stop at the end of season 1 because it's just downhill from there.

So, am I remembering right? Does it get dark and then happy again? If so I can deal with that but might wait a bit. (Liz hasn't seen any further than me so I can't ask her)

Also, lizbyrd: I agree, it did get progressively less femslashy as it went on, but I think the subtext is still there if you squint :)

Everyone who's seen it says it's a work of genius and not to stop at the end of Season 1. I know how the series ends, and I wouldn't say it's depressing but bittersweet.

That I can live with.

Uhhh I think it does get darker and then happier. I haven't seen it in a long while, though.

The beginning of S2 is very slow, though -- it takes a while to get as addictive as the end of S1, but hoo boy end of S2 is amazing. :D

Awesome, thanks.

My love did not wane at all during S2, I loved it a lot.

As it turns out neither did mine, so, yay.
