    Nerdy Meets Trendy in Quirky, Heartfelt Series

    Actually pretty cool. It's about this shy girl who's super into jellyfish and lives with a bunch of other geeky girls who are all into different, kinda weird stuff. They end up meeting this stylish guy who shakes things up a bit, and it's funny seeing how their nerdy world collides with all the high fashion drama. The show mixes up humor with some real heartfelt moments, which kept it interesting even when the plot seemed a little out there.

    I'd give it a 7/10 because, while it's definitely unique and has some solid laughs, the whole fashion angle was sometimes hard to get totally into. The characters are great, though. Really different from your usual anime crew, and they bring a lot of personality to the story. It's not your typical anime, and that's kind of refreshing, but it might not be for everyone, especially if you're not into the whole otaku culture thing. Overall its worth watching if you're looking for something that's not just the same old action-packed series.

    really cute show!

    This show is incredible , i mean c'mon a jellyfish obsessed girl who become's friends with a model????? That's such an original concept!

    The characters all have something special in design and character personality which is quite impressive sinds not even quite popular anime's can pull that off sometimes!

    Finally an anime that gets girls/women right

    This was such a sweet, funny, heart-felt series. It is definitely in my top series of all time.

    The girls seem realistic in the depiction of their extremely quirky personalities and otaku status. I could relate on many levels to their social anxiety. The comedy in this show is so good. Unlike most "comedies" I actually did laugh out loud on many occasions.

    I really loved the ending song, though the opening was pretty cute and had really fun animation.

    Unfortunately the anime just ends without resolving important plot threads. Also I'm not sure how sensitive the depiction of the cross-dressing character was and it may not hold up so well now.

    Still I wish there were more anime like Princess Jellyfish aimed at women rather than the typical fare: action/scifi/fantasy anime aimed at boys and men, perverted anime aimed at boys and strange men, supposed anime aimed at girls but most likely aimed at boys or strange men based on the questionable character designs of the girls and women. While it has its flaws, Princess Jellyfish is about as good as it gets and I would recommend it to any and all female anime fans.
