Looks like a bad omen for Fakir if Ahiru's bad dream comes true. Just when he's starting to get tolerable too. It was funny how he covered up for Ahiru when she was about to give away her secret.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

lol, what's up with the 2 part split up on this one?
They didn't do that before.

Ahiru saving Mytho in front of all those people...
That's a first I believe. I wonder if it will affect anything.

There has to be a reason each full episode is in two parts now...

It's so nice to see Fakir and Mytho have some character in them during regular days now...err, different character I should say.

To answer everyone's question about why the second season (starting with this episode) is split into 2 parts: (from wikipedia)

"The second season was broadcast as 26 quarter-hour episodes, to conform to the format of the time slot, so that each episode was split into two parts.

So, there you go. Purely done to fit Japanese TV time-slots.

Second season has added a new layer, The Raven as a villian. My guess is that the 2nd season will revolve around his affects on the town.

Poor Mytho and his heart. Evil Mytho is entertaining though... :X

Noticed that too, the duck has hatched from the egg so maybe that was the chick? Maybe it'll be chapter of the duckling next and finally the swan. :D

In a town where your ballet teacher is a cat? Yeah, I think Fakir is doing just fine.

Kind of agree with this.

As expected, Kraehe wasn't actually the Raven but is instead the "daughter". Evil Mytho is pretty entertaining.

Haha that's a good point. I find it funny how there are anteaters, alligators, goats, cats, and humans all together in one world. I didn't even think twice about Fakir's lie about the alligator or the flying cow because it actually seemed plausible for the world they live in.

Hmm I wonder why they're splitting the episodes up into two parts...

While this episode was more lighthearted, there is a very foreboding undertone, with Drosselmeyer talking about how these good times will end or something.

Something seems fishy about that piano

This was like the very first episode except the roles are slightly changed. Kraehe+Raven's plot has worked and that means Mytho has this nasty vibe about him.
Fakir's future doesn't look nice at all...

I'm not sure how I want to approach the episode discussions anymore since one episode = two and some people will be following both formats, meaning I'll likely get spoiled if I post in both this and the next, yet I'll miss out on thoughts and potentially spoil others if I post two in one... it's a lose-lose.

I liked the episode, in any case. The second half in particular is interesting since it will send the plot in a very different direction.

Looks like a soft reset of the show. I wonder what will happen this time around, and how long it will take for things to get real again.

Kraehe is finally advancing with her plans for Myuth. Looks like she has a father, could it be Drosselmeyer? Anyways, loved the cat teacher's backstory and am sad he had to go away like that. Really nice character to be honest. The transformation sequence of Tutu in this episode was the best in all of Tutu, if not all of Anime.

Anyways, very good episode.

We're somewhat back to normal, though it looks like the plot threads are going to be taken to their logical conclusions in time. It's a weird shift from the 1st cour's climax, but it makes sense.

Well, that clears some things up, good to know. It doesn't seem like people here are taking the episode length shift into account with their comments though, so I suppose those of us trying to stay spoiler-free will just have to dodge the episode discussions.
