| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Drosselmeyer seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit at the expense of everybody. It looks like Edel might be losing favor with him due to her emotional acts though. I guess it isn't too bad that Ahiru revealed her secret to Fakir. If anyone else learns to just take her pendant she could be in trouble. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Drosselmeyer cares too much about stories, indeed. I don't like Fakir still, but this episode is so adorable. Also, Rue and Mytho, laying together, naked. Mytho being ordered around.. ...rape. o.o I was wondering when someone was going to find out she was a duck.:3 And how her being naked would be dealt with. I love how she forgets about being naked. |

| Fakir was SO CUTE in this episode O///O |
 |
| omg.. FAKIR! <333 blushing <3333333 |
| I luv this episode. Especially AhiruxFakir moments ;p |
| Definitely my fave episode ever. xDD (a flushed Fakir is a must to see! xD)  FakiAhiru ♥!!! |

| *ish re-watching Princess Tutu* This episode is my 2nd favorite. That scene with Ahiru and Fakir was hilarious. Fakir is such a dork |

| Haha, this keeps getting better. (And gosh, that Drosselmeyer at the end of the previews keeps creeping me out! What's with the pawing hand movements?!) |
... |
| Woah, a lot of things happened in this episode. I can hardly believe the story has so much to go. |

| This episode really represented how love can make someone crazy. I was starting to think maybe Edel-san was bad, so this episode was good to see. I love that he keeps saying "not knowing your role is dangerous." Um. Fahkir was really adorable in this episode. |
 |
| Fakir <3 |
You know, I only started watching this anime today, but when this scene popped up about how Fakir read the story of the Prince and the Raven to Mytho when he was younger, coupled with the dramatic classical music in the background and the general setting of the scene (an abandoned cavern and lake underneath a church?) it suddenly hit me that I'm watching one of the most epic fantasy animes I've ever seen. This story is so gripping... I have a hard time believing that this would be relegated to mere children's entertainment. |
| ^That's why you don't judge a book by its cover. The Raven trapped her, great cliffhanger. The Ahiru and Fakir moments were entertaining. |
| I'm getting a real Lancelot vibe from Fakir's development lately, I wonder how it'll play out. |
| FAKIR IS SO TSUNDERE~~ *3* Love the interaction between him and Ahiru this chapter. And his reaction to learning her secret was too great. :3 |

And he got Lohengin's sword, that's a lot of knightly reference already for him not to get ummm... knightly? LOL! Why do I feel like the story is already at it's climax when I'm not even halfway through all the episodes...ughhhh must stop posting and watch the next episode now! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| YAY the Ahiru Fakir monents!~ <(^.^<) |
| I'm just repeating what majority of the commenter's here have said, but I LOVED the Ahiru x Fakir scenes. Expecting a lot more cute moments like that in future episodes. But omfg what's gonna happen in the next one?! |
 |
| This ep made me root for fakirXahiru <333 |
| Evil Rue x Evil Fake Mytho is delicious for some reason. This is getting better and better. The use of classical music is truly staggering. |

| Ahiru is so cute in this episode. |

| This show is amazing. The only thing I fear is that it almost as though the series is ending, yet not. I wonder how it will go from now. |

 |
| TEAM FUCK!!!! <3 <3 <3 (fakir X duck) lol i also thought those parts were so cute it was very kawaiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
happyhellhound said: Fakir was SO CUTE in this episode O///O YES HE WAS. <3 I'm expecting more cuteness from Fakir. :3 |
| Wow, that was intense. The showdown is about to begin huh. It's about time Duck learned some of the truth though, especially about Rue. |
 |
| My favorite episode so far. Fakir is just so cute when he learns that Ahiru is the duck. His blushing....I had to squeal.... ._. He is now my favorite character. |
  |
| Ahiru can't talk about her love cause she'll disappear, so she can't say anything. This will make for interesting developments. |
 |
| The music was fantastic this episode, sadly I don't know what it's called. Fakir and Ahiru were super adorable. Blushing, holding hands while swimming and of course naked Ahiru lol Also a great cliffhanger. |
| Best episode for a while imo. Fakir and Ahiru's interactions were fun. |
tc said: I'm getting a little tired of the same Neko-sensei joke being repeated over and over again... Yeah I can see that too. That joke is used at least once every episode. Nice episode. Princess Kraehe's lair is very complex. It's interesting how she got Drosselmeyer to create that lake setting for her. |

| Fakir is too adorable for my soul. |
| Oh Fakir, you're such a tsundere it hurts. This episode was pretty neat. |
| oh no i hate these situations more than anything.....why must i root for the couple that i know will not happen? it's always the side guy that i like more for the heroine....always..............god damn it Fakir why must you be like that...be more of an asshole so i can hate you |

| I really, really love this episode. Fakir and Ahiru are so incredible adorable. "Wait, she cannot drown, can she? Can ducks actually drown?!? Well, I think, it's possible with her!" :D My favourite quote ^^ |
| ♫♪--- Everybody, put your hands uuu~uuup ---♪♫ |
| So I was true all along to think that Edel is Drosselmeyer's puppet, perhaps... also, Fakir is so Moe! Well, now I'm pretty curious on what happens if Ahiru says quack in a girl form in the water with the pendant equipped. |
 |
| fakir x duck scenes were cute but this episode made me think that fakir will die soon =( |
| Wow, all of that bonding between Ahiru and Fakir was great. Kraehe and Drosselmeyer colluding was pretty interesting. Reality and story interacting with one another, eh? "A living story" indeed. Mid-season climax incoming, it seems. |
| Holy moly! The plot! The music! The feelings! This anime really progressed a lot, it's simply amazing. I like how Rue started out as someone who could become a friend of Ahiru, but now is the villain. Fakir started out as an asshole, but now we grew to like him and see him in a different light. And I am really curious to see whether Edel-san will play a bigger role in the future, or whether she'll remain a puppet... You have to give Drosselmeyer that: He does have a talent at telling exciting stories! :D 5/5 for this episode. My tentative rating for the series improved from 8/10 to 9/10 if it keeps up this quality. It looks like we are approaching the "mid series finale", so things will probably be calmer in future episodes. |
| Why is everyone saying that Drosselmeyer is the villain and the author, when he is clearly a meta commentary on the viewer? A nice episode. The interactions between Tutu and Fakir were hysterical. Edit: Hmmmmm... seems like my poor attempts at sarcasm can go undetected. |

Optigisa said: Why is everyone saying that Drosselmeyer is the villain and the author, when he is clearly a meta commentary on the viewer? So, Drosselmeyer is a fanboy of "The Prince and the Crow" story that is now trying to complete the tale since the original author died? Seems legit about the behaviour of some anime fans out there. |
 |
| This episode feels more like a lead upto a series finale than it does a 12th episode. I'm guessing the next episode is the end of this particular arc. And also, I knew Fakir was going to get more likable. Such a classic shoujo trope, not that I mind. |
