To spite the fact that it's such a great anime, Princess Tutu still has a relatively small fandom. I attribute this to the fact that it get's easily over shadowed by other (more mainstream) anime.

My idea on how to expand our fandom is this:
Since Gaia is made up of 90% anime fans, the Gaian population would be more likely to give it a try if they saw just how much we (the already existing Tutu fandom) love it.

How do we do that?
We get a Princess Tutu avatar to win in the Cosplay division of the Avatar Arena. I have entered a Kraehe avatar before and it placed in the top 100 but not the top 10 and so it didn't win.

Bur if the whole fandom bands together, and everyone votes a 5 on the newest Tutu avatar, I'm sure we can win.

Tutu's a good anime, people just need a little pushe to give it a chance.

Princess Tutu!

I'm starting to realize that so few people frequent this Guild that this strategy may not work. Well, there are always other ways to expand the fandom.

The best why thus far that I've seen to expand the fandom is through anime music videos. Award winners like Hold Me Now really reached a lot of people and made them think "Wow, what is this?"

And even on the comments of amateur videos like my own, I've had people write "This series looks really interesting! I think I'll go watch it now!" Something about just seeing it in motion gets people's attention the easiest :3.

While I do like the avatar arena idea, I'm not sure if enough people actually frequent the Arenas for it to reach much of the Gaian population. Not to mention that yes, I don't really think it would be feasible to get that many people interested in cosplaying ^^; But still, it's a fun idea nonetheness~!

I think a good way to spread the word is to put PT graphics in signatures and forum posts with autoformatting. If I have some extra time, I may be able edit some pictures to make some small, cute graphics for people to use.

I think I'll make a nice thread for PT chat in the anime forum - by making the opening post pretty with lots of eye catching graphics, people tend to get interested.

If you do make some graphics, it would be wonderful if you could share them heart ! That's an idea that's easy to carry out, and graphics do tend to catch people's attention effectively :3.

If you do start a thread, I hope it thrives! It's sad to see the PT threads die off.

Here is a little graphic I found on a Japanese site that would look cute for posts:
