Finished up two #anime series coincidentally on the last day of the month.

First was #LocoDol, a series new to me. It's a must-see hidden gem for slice-of-life fans, seamlessly combining that genre with the Idol genre. A fun cast of characters makes it easy to watch this story about aspiring small-town idols.

I also completed my rewatch of #PrincessTutu. Like all of the best fairy tales, the cute and whimsical appearance hides a dark center. I had also forgotten virtually all of the second half - including the finale - so it was great to rediscover this series. Story and character designs by #IkukoItoh (one of my favorite character designers) and series direction by #JunichiSato combine to make this a masterful reworking of Magical Girl tropes in the context of classical ballet.
