Princess Jellyfish Appreciation Post

This is an anime that I think is a great form of design. The story and characters are well done and the backgrounds and details of the overall animation really add to it. One thing I especially loved about the show is the flow from the more realistic "serious" style to the humorous more cartoony form. It really is a great tool in breaking up the sense of suspense and keep the audience's attention. Also, the plots use of Japanese culture is well done, but is easy for a foreigner to comprehend and understand. Another aspect I love about the show is the color palette. Many of the characters have more of a pastel or softened look. Nothing sticks out to predominantly. 

I also love the attention to detail on each character. The main protagonist pictured above goes through a style transformation periodically through the eleven episode series. You can tell the creators really thought-out her designs and outfits as well as the drastic difference of being stylish and unstylish. It's a great character development tool and gives her a more well-rounded personality as she hates to dress-up. Also, this anime reinvents the usual Cinderella cliche. Especially with the male fairy godmother, who constantly cross dresses. The humorous tone comes across by the fact that this cross dressing man usually looks more beautiful than the main female protagonist as well as their interactions. This show is incredibly engaging and makes the viewer interested in jellyfish and teaches them a valuable lesson about inner beauty.
