Update on my previous post
After talking to @/LadyDestani I decided to recheck Funimation to see if
Princess Jellyfish was still listed and it finally showed up there! My guess is that they're having a few issues with the merger and some titles become "invisible/unavailable" from time to time
**Important info for those of you who have a Crunchyroll account**
I also ran across this article from Crunchyroll where they'll be updating what Funimation shows have been added to their library
https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/03/01/funimation-titles-now-available-on-crunchyroll this is a HUGE help, that way I don't have to do a daily PJ search on Crunchyroll lol
I also ended up finishing
Kotaro Lives Alone, and although it didn't have any tearjerker episodes like I was previously thinking, it still had many endearing moments and several heavy felt scenes.
Edit: Removed a title because I found out that the source material has an absolutely horrible ending.
I've been meaning to pick up Princess Jellyfish. I'm going to take this as a "would recommend". Hopefully it isn't as expensive as the forgotten Gainax title "Petite Princess Yucie".
Although I did enjoy watching
Princess Jellyfish years ago, I do have to warn you, it's open ended with no real resolution at the end and with no second season in sight, you may need to pick up the manga if you want to finish the story. I do love the animation and story, (that's why I've been searching for it) but I can't in good conscience recommend something that doesn't have a real ending without warning you first.
I also did some research on
Petite Princess Yucie and it looks like it was once licensed by AVD Films but the company went defunct in 2009. I know Funimation picked up a few of AVD's titles, but it seems like some of them where never picked up by anyone, this being the case for the title you mentioned :/ I can only imagine how expensive the few remaining DVD's must be
I saw the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie today!
Oh gosh! This makes me so excited for the film!! It's not going to release until the 18th here in North America and I can't wait! Also, random question about the manga, but how faithful would you say the anime is to the manga? I've been thinking about getting it, but if it's pretty much the same as the anime, then I think I'm going to pass
