FUNimation took a chance back in early 2012 by releasing the eleven episode series Princess Jellyfish, partly due to the number of people who asked for it through surveys and other means. It’s been a couple of years since then and now we’re seeing that the limited edition set is still out in the wild but has received a significant price drop, at least at Right Stuf. Originally priced at $69.98 for the limited edition DVD/BD combo, it’s now down to a list of $34.95 – and selling for $26 with discounts. This is definitely one of those shows that you want to check out, especially with all the references, and is the kind of series that you’ll find worth lending to others to try and convert them a bit.
This limited edition comes with a chipboard art box. The set has a solid number of extras that are on disc which include Princess Jellyfish Heroes Parts 1-4, Go, Sisterhood Explorers! Parts 1-6, Tsukimi and Jiji’s Octopus Tour, The Princess Jellyfish Field Guide, Episodes 1 & 11 Commentary, Promotional Videos, Textless Songs, Trailers.
Plot concept: Plain, timid and obsessed with jellyfish, Tsukimi is a far cry from her idea of a princess. Her tepid life as a jobless illustrator comes complete with roommates who harbor diehard hobbies that solidify their status as hopeless social rejects. These wallflowers run a tight, nun-like ship, but their no-men-allowed-not-no-one-not-no-how bubble is unwittingly burst after Tsukimi brings home a rescued sea jelly and a beauty queen… who’s actually a guy.
When the threat of losing their cozy convent inspires this glamour boy to turn the neurotic entourage into a portrait of success, will Tsukimi take her chance to bloom, or will she end up a hot mess?
