This episode wasn't too bad. It brings up some questions though concerning Rue and Fakir since it looks like they have an uneasy truce concerning Mytho.

The way Duck's panic attacks bring out her duck mannerisms is a really clever bit of animation. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

I suspect Fakir (Fakia in a.f.k. & HnK sub) and Rue knows something about Mytho (Mute in a.f.k. & HnK sub). This time Ahiru got the feeling of loneliness for the prince's heart back, I wonder if this will become the pattern...

This was the first episode that started to make me aware of the huge potential this anime had. The first two episodes, if quite interesting in retrospect, act more as an approach to the basic traits of the characters, while this one starts to mix some dark and weird stuff while reinforcing the structure of fairytale.

Ahiru running in circles...so cuuuute O___O

Fakir and Rue have black hair. Ravens? A part of me actually wants this to have a tragic ending.

Haha Princess Tutu is pretty funny xD Rue and Fakir are really mysterious though...I wonder what this thing is where princess tutu will disappear when she confesses her live to Mute. The lady at the restaurant was kinda creepy, though...always smiling. Also did the exterior of the restaurant remind anyone else of the bad guy pub in Shrek?

Plus that voice. Jesus the guy is giving pedo vibes all over the screen.

A good episode, surprisingly quite darker than the previous two. I love how calm and confident Tutu is compared to the utterly frantic Ahiru. Again, one can cut the tension between Fakir and Rue with a knife. Rue's relationship with Mytho isn't exactly a proper relationship, is it now. You've got to wonder why Rue is with 'love' with a guy who doesn't even know what love is, or most feelings for that matter. .

Ebine was kinda freaky at first, but then her story won me over. Real quality storytelling with the use of 'cold' food as a symbol for Ebine's lonely heart. Very impressive.

Good episode with some references of other tales, probably will continue with the next episodes, didn´t expect the story of the women, thought would be like hansel and gretel.

I hear that the show started slow and that was the weakest part but if this the weakest I can´t wait for the rest.

And didn´t expect the "battles" be like this, although the last one I was a bit confused and disappointed this one was pretty good and hope the rest is like this one

This episode allows us to get just a tiny bit more information concerning our maybe assumptions upon the two most commonly appearing characters, Rue and Fakir, both seem to be involved in the mystery revolving around Myuuto. Ahiru is as cute as ever in this episode and seems to be getting a small grip on what she's set out to accomplish, there was almost no nervous quacking hahaha.

A rather boring one, and it is getting quite redundant. Still, not really a bad episode.

ahiru finds out that mytho, and (a part) of her are part of a tragic story.

ebine's story was sad, but i liked how they portrayed lonelyness

Wow i really like the storytelling of this anime, the way the plot is slowly unfolded each episode is clever and make me excited for the next one. I think Fakir probably loves Mytho too.

The ebine story was pretty sad but heartwarming, albeit I felt it a bit corny. 
Either way. EXISTENTIAL CRISIS TIME! WOOOO.
I am already predicting the ending will be sad.

Myuto reminds me of Anthy from RGU, the way that he just follows orders and is being used by other people if that makes sense.
