Happy Birthday Asuto Inamori
Magical Meow Meow Taruto is similar to Princess Tutu

The reason why this anime “Magical Meow meow Taruto” is very similar to this other old anime “Princess tutu.” Is because:

-Both main protagonists have the same aliases as “Princess.” When both of them aren’t actual princesses in a magical kingdom or castle. That they live in. They are not royalty. That’s just what they’re called/aslias or named most of the time.

-Both main protagonist characters are half animal/half human hybrid. When Taruto is a half human half cat, while Princess Tutu/Duck is half human half duck (with a secret identity).

-Both protagonist are female role/leads, who clearly look like children.

-Both main protagonists are heroines.

-There’s a male in “MMMT” named Nachos who’s tall and has a crush on the protagonist, it’s similar to how it was in “Princess Tutu” When Fakir developed a crush on Princess Tutu/Duck. Later in that series.

-Both main protagonists wear dresses.

-both animes have boring main characters (Iori & the other is Mytho).

-both characters often say their animal sounds frequently throughout the series. Such as Taruto says “meow” while Duck says “Quack.” As their habit of sounding like their animal species.

-Both shows had featured ghosts in them.

-Both of the female protagonists’ close friend groups are 2 female friends with them most of the time.

-both animes were released in the 2000s (this one 2001 while “Princess Tutu” is 2002).

-Both Duck/Princess Tutu and Taruto have a very similar personalities: they both Niave, both are a klutz, young, cute, heroic, (oh my goodness they both almost sound the same too).

-Both animes have similar genres: magical girl/supernatural, romance, fantasy, mystery, a little nit of horror, comedy.

-both animes are underrated, no longer ongoing & their mangas ended in the same years (2003).

-Both intro & outros are boring to listen to. To the point repetitive (which I’d often skipped).

-Both shows feature villians which some of them are elderly/seniors.

-both Taruto and Duck have the same hair styles (braids), both are small/short character in stature/height, both are heroines, as the main protagonists, & they both aren't so smart too.

I can see these 2 animes have tons of similarities.
