Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is a show solely meant for little girls; this is one of the best anime series you're liable to find period. It's like a fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen meets the magical girl genre meets metafiction. There's many a plot twist and the characters are so well written. The animation and backgrounds are lovely, evocative of watercolor illustrations in a storybook.
The first few episodes are a little slow (though still entertaining), but by the time you get past episode five, you'll be hooked until you reach the heartwrenching finale. If you love shoujo, fairy tales, ballet, or just well written stories in general, then this will be a welcome treat.
