Ah, I've been meaning to check out Princess Tutu for a long time but always forget and never get around to buying the box set! I should get it the next time I'm ordering from Amazon or Borders.
Yeah, I'm sure some would consider Hetalia to be offensive. Apparently, they have houses and sometimes interact with people who aren't countries, too. This show doesn't make the most sense! XD
I don't mind anime adaptations of Western works but it kind of irked me that Umineko seemed to borrow so much from And Then There Were None without acknowledging it. The characters were completely different and there were witches and magic (the main conflict was actually between Beatrice trying to claim the murders were done with magic and Battler who says magic doesn't exist and it was all human trickery) but the basic situation is still pretty similar.
