Princess Jellyfish<\/a><\/em> is an unusual name, which fits a most unusual anime. This eleven-part series is a sitcom that might<\/em> turn into a romcom, in which the two main characters are a painfully shy girl with a passion for jellyfish, and a stunning princess who happens to be a boy (and the world\u2019s most fashionable cross-dresser). Stir in a community of otaku girls, some political farce involving a man-eating seductress, the heroine\u2019s yearnings for her lost mum, and a great deal of sewing. The result is a character-led comedy to rank beside Tokyo Godfathers<\/em>, The Case of Hana and Alice<\/em> and Maison Ikkoku<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The heroine is Tsukimi, who\u2019s recently moved to central Tokyo and is thoroughly intimidated by the crowds of horribly fashionable, confident people. (The show\u2019s set around Shibuya and Harajuku, which comprise the \u201cworst\u201d of Tokyo from that point of view.) Luckily, Tsukimi has a refuge, a communal building shared with other otaku women. It\u2019s a vision of otaku-dom at its broadest, where the females are into trains, or traditional dolls, or the beauty of older men. The noisiest member of the household is a fanatic about Ancient Chinese history, specifically the period of the Three Kingdoms. Tsukimi\u2019s love of jellyfish is bound up with her childhood and her mother, and her memories of both are the series\u2019 sweetest strand.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a jellyfish that brings Tsukimi together with the cross-dressing princess. Tsukimi is aghast to see a shop has carelessly and fatally put two different kinds of jellyfish together in one tank. That\u2019s enough to override the girl\u2019s shyness; think of it as a positive triggering. While Tsukimi is scuffling desperately with the shopkeeper, a stranger appears; a stunning, statuesque model, straight off a magazine cover. It\u2019s the kind of person that Tsukimi would usually run to avoid, but the newcomer helps her save the stricken jellyfish before escorting her home. It\u2019s only then that Tsukimi realises this princess is a he\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

So starts an escalating comedy of errors and deceptions, of accidents and shocks. Never has an orgasmic nosebleed been funnier, or a walk in the rain more desolate (accompanied by one of the show\u2019s key lines, \u201cI want to be a jellyfish.\u201d) This is very much its own show; however, if you\u2019ve seen last year\u2019s My Dress-Up Darling<\/em>, Princess Jellyfish<\/em> has some of that show\u2019s sweetness (the dolls and sewing overlap, too). To add to the fun, the show has its own running cartoon gags. Tsukimi and her fellow housemates frequently turn into statues when they\u2019re forced outside their comfort zones, while Tsukimi\u2019s jellyfish often becomes a fourth-wall-breaking cartoon host, a la<\/em> Maromi in Paranoia Agent<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Broadcast in 2010, Princess Jellyfish<\/em> has a stellar pedigree. It was based on a manga by Akiko Higashimura, published in the women\u2019s magazine Kiss<\/em>. The anime version was helmed by Takahiro Omori, no stranger to formula-breaking comedies \u2013 he\u2019d previously directed Baccano!<\/em> and Durarara!!<\/em> at the Brain\u2019s Base studio, which also made Princess Jellyfish<\/em>. The anime\u2019s lead writer was Jukki Hanada, whose other credits range from Steins;Gate<\/em> to Sound! Euphonium<\/em>. Tsukimi is voiced in Japanese by Kana Hanazawa, who you\u2019ll know as Mayuri from Steins;Gate<\/em>, Shiemi in Blue Exorcist<\/em> and Akane in Psycho-Pass<\/em>. In the dub, Tsukimi is played by Maxey Whitehead, best known as Al in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an utterly delightful series, though some online descriptions might lead you to expect a different anime from what it actually is. Firstly, while Tsukimi\u2019s housemates are great fun, it\u2019s not primarily a women\u2019s friendship show, as it focuses more on Tsukimi\u2019s relationship with her princess (named Kurako or Kuranosuke). If you want a great women\u2019s friendship anime where men are a distant second, I\u2019d direct you to the film Looking for Magical Doremi<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second, the series presents Kurako (or Kuranosuke) as a cishet boy, who loves cross-dressing for aesthetic rather than dysphoric reasons. The script pretty much rules out reading Kurako as trans, though he\u2019s still a ringing endorsement of gender non-conformity, out and proud.<\/p>\n
