| Interesting episode, though I don't remember some most of it being in the manga... (which it probably was, I just have a bad memory). I guess I'll have to flip back through it again. Anyways... did anyone think the Kor in the garden looked awfully familiar? I know... I'm just being me. =P |
    |
| I've tried watching the subbed version by Dattebayo, but the audio track is delayed, which is a first. Did you watch the raws? |
lianayuki said: LOL ditto to that.and another thing ,why on gods name is Teito still wearing those chains it's really getting annoying -__- Call me lame....but during the whole fight sequence in this episode I kept chanting/hoping that "possessed" dude would blast them off xD kind of weird that didn't happen.... Other than that....ME WANTS MORE EPS NAO! XD XD |
:3 |
| Love it~! We get to see Mikage yaay~ So many things I loved about this episode, I really like how the pace is slower, everything doesn't seem to be forced and crammed in together :P Razette is SO ADORABLE in the anime~, holy crap I really can't get enough of her, and I'm a girl too! Frau is awesome yet again, I loved how he showed some porn to Mikage and he was totally enjoying it XD. Convos between Mikage and Teito was wonderful and the fight scene was awesome. I especially liked the ending when they were in the bedroom Also, I never mentioned it for the last episode, but other people did XD.....but I can't believe they had Teito wear those poor chains for 4 episodes straight ahahaha XD you would think they'll take it off since I assume it takes more effort and time to animate the chains :P But I think I have a hunch on why they did that... Overall, I'm really loving this anime, I think it's doing a pretty good job at adapting the manga :) cressell said: Yea same thing happened to me, I looked on the internet again...and found a second version, so download that one :)I've tried watching the subbed version by Dattebayo, but the audio track is delayed, which is a first. Did you watch the raws? |

| I love the slow building up to something..some people might lose patience, but I think it just adds to the story. Yes, the chains are starting to bug me, but it would be a good workout. I went to dattebayo's sight directly and had no problem with the episode. And lastly, please don't tell me what happens in the manga especially about Mikage...Thanks! |

| Oh hell, Angel is back. Oh well, on the topic of the episode I wasn't terribly impressed. Am I the only person who isn't absolutely in love with this show? While it's somewhat better than generic shonen, I can't see why some of the people who post here hype this up so much. The pacing is slow, the music is beginning to really grate on me, Teito and Mikage have some serious yaoi undertones rocking, and about the only saving grace of the show is Frau. I mean, it has promise, but I'm just not seeing where this is going. Past that, anyone have issues with the "fixed" version of the Dattebayo sub? I didn't have this issue with last week's Ghost, but I did with Bleach which makes me wonder... Basically, the video is "shaky", the audio and video are in sync, but the video doesn't sit still. I feel like it's gonna give me a seizure. |

| Great episode , no way.... the reunion seemed a bit too simple, and did i just miss like one whole episode on Mikage's escape? LOL @ this pic found in the beginning XD  robbydesu said: butterhex said: Please don't read my spoilers ><!!I love the slow building up to something..some people might lose patience, but I think it just adds to the story.

| So they're just not going to explain how Mikage got away? For now, I'm going forth under the impression that Mikage can't be trusted until otherwise stated. I just don't understand how they can gloss over such an enormous plot hole. I'm with Bakayaro...I don't really get how people seem to be creaming over the show when it hasn't really done anything novel. |

I'm with Bakayaro...I don't really get how people seem to be creaming over the show when it hasn't really done anything novel. hmmm~ for me I'm really hyped up about the anime because of the manga. I really love the really strong theme of friendship (especially between guys) that's embedded into this series. Although so far I can't tell if the anime is doing a good job at it cuz not enough has happened yet...but we'll see =) |
| Boring episode. If it didn't get better in the next episode I'm gonna drop it. |
 |
| I don't mind that Mikage's escape hasn't been explained yet because at this point, it really seems like he's become some kind of puppet for Ayanami or something. So I'm pretty sure Mikage's 'escape' will be explained later. Still, I find the show kind of dull myself. I was planning on putting this on hold for now but I think I'll just wait. Some people are saying it'll get better soon and I hope soon means like within the next few episodes >< |
     |
| teito is getting really irritating. he just needs to get over himself. they need to get rid of those chains already. they also need to just move on and change the scenery. |
Iriya said: It really does get better XD..and it should get better...next episode I think :PSome people are saying it'll get better soon and I hope soon means like within the next few episodes >< kisami said: Get over himself o__o? What do you mean? Scenery change is gonna be hard, majority of the manga so far that I've read is in the Church...but that's not really saying much since there's only 35 chaps online XDteito is getting really irritating. he just needs to get over himself. they need to get rid of those chains already. they also need to just move on and change the scenery. |

| I love this show more and more, I cant wait for more episodes!!! I think im going to start reading the manga :) |

Not much has actually happened. The setting really hasn't changed at all and we're only learning about a few things at a time in staid of getting dumped with a lot of information. |

| Hmm I want to know how Mikage escaped... and what happened to his family? |
 |
| So gay.. crap. I wish they'd focus more on the plot rather than Mikage and Teito gay moments. |
 |
| I have been wondering this for a while now when are they going to take those chains of teito |
| Okay. My inner Hakuren lover is saying, "Hurry up and get on with it! Lets see Hakuren!" To be honest, I never really did like Mikage. ANYWAY. Still great episode, veering off the manga a bit on this one, but hey, what can we do. Didn't really like the fight, felt that it was a bit forced. Not too excited about the next episode (carriage, wtf?). We'll have to see. |

Did you watch the raws? The same thing happened to me too. I was stupid though and decided to watch the episode out of sync because I wanted to watch it so badly. Never again! I have such a headache now. @.@ Next time, I'll go find another version. Really enjoyed the episode though. ^_^ I'm worried about Mikage because of all the things he said to Teito before bed. It makes me think something bad is going to happen to him. I hope not because he's my favorite character so far but with my luck in faves . . . yeah, I'm worried. |
 |
| I liked the part where Frau showed porn magazines to Mikage. XD Oh, and the gay moments at the end. |

I mean, it has promise, but I'm just not seeing where this is going. You ain't the only one. To be honest, this series hasn't impressed me much so far, and i agree with what you said. Plus the main reasons why I decided to pick up this series was.. 1) I wanted to try watching some series that are airing in Japan at the same time, other than FMA2 (I usually don't do this, I usually pick some series already aired and watch at my own pace) 2) The growing hype around it 3) it kept popping up as a recommendation for those who liked D.Gray-man Hopfully it will get better like what alot of you folks keep saying, and I have incredible patience, so I can wait a while. However, the shonen-ai hints are starting to get on my nerves. >< *not a fan of Shonen-ai/Yaoi* ....and when the hell is Teito going to do something about those chains?!? Actually, I should be asking just how the hell he manages to change clothes with the damm things on... |

Please don't spew me that friendship crap, it is clearly for fanservice. You have a unique universe with unique characters that would pretty much make a good shounen Anime, that would really sell for the Male audience. Now you need something that would sell for the Female audience, so like why not add some hints of shounen-ai, since you have all these bishies to work with, so voila. And its not only Mikage, you have Frau too. Ugh, reeks of yaoi. |

Anyways, first of all I think I've mentioned this so many times, but shounen-ai and yaoi isn't the same. You don't normally see people going around calling shoujo animes hentai. Second of all, I do know where you're coming from. In the anime, it really does seem like a forced shounen-ai fanservice, but there really is a strong theme of friendship in this series in terms of the manga. I think they are just trying their best to put that into the anime. If you don't mind spoilers from the manga: I think it's so biased for you to go about proclaiming this is this and that is that when you haven't even given the chance to read the manga to see how everything is. Sure at face-value is seems all superficial with it's implications on shounen-ai between characters...but there really is no denying the underlying theme of friendship. I am a fan of shounen-ai, but I'm not blind as to assume every guy in animes has the hots for each other. I could interpret everything as shounen-ai, but to me it really doesn't make any sense. Just because the friendships shown in this series is USUALLY between guys, doesn't mean it has to be shounen-ai. There are tons of animes with strong friendships between girls, are you just going to call that shoujo-ai then? But I'm assuming that even if it's shoujo-ai you wouldn't care as much. Please don't impose your homophobia onto every anime that has a lot to guys in it. If you really don't like the anime, or have the sense to see it for how it REALLY is...then don't watch it. I'm not saying that you can't have your opinion...but I never really understood why people watch animes they don't like. I mean, isn't animes all about entertainment and people watching what they like? |

| I WUV MIKAGE!!!!! ehem, well, I still think the storyline is moving a tad too slow to my liking. |
 |
DinaraC said: XD!!I WUV MIKAGE!!!!! |
| I wish Teito would lose those chains..it's sorta bugging me @_@ And I love Mikage... <333 |
 |
| This show is slow. reminds me a lot of To Aru Majutsu no Index where they start off with a strong first story arc and then gradually slump down in to a cesspool of mediocrity. Although with Ghost only the first episode was really great while after that we go in to "Teito is emo at church" mode. Come on. we spend 3 episodes filled almost entirely with Teito being emo and whining about mikage while mikage gets asked the same question over and over and then poof, mikage appears at the church. Can you say letdown? My biggest interest now is not what happens in the story line, but how exactly Teito changes clothes with shackles around his feet and hands. I expect after the 25th episode he will stop moping around the church, lose the chains and then do something. After that maybe we will get another season full of him lounging around the church for 25 episodes before finally fighting a little in the last episode. |
| why o WHY did they have to alter this part in the manga >.< they altered some areas that were fine put why add a filler, the guy attacking Teito is not in the manga and i was looking forward to this part aswell |

And you are the rude one! Homophobia you say? I am just disappointed with how this series is turning out to be. This had lots of potential on my list since its a brand new world but they had to ruin it with crap shounen-ai. And how the hell am I suppose to know if I dislike a series if I don't actually watch it? Stupidity much? |

But really, please point out the shounen-ai parts to me. Cause other than the rearrangement of when Mikage appeared at the Church and that random guy, the anime has a done a decent job at adapting everything in the manga. Meaning that most of everything you see in the anime, it's in the manga too. So while you're at it why don't you just complain about the manga or the series itself? About homophobia, I'm sorry but in perspective your posts "reeked" of homophobia, I'm just saying. Whether or not you are, you don't have to call me stupid. That's just...mean O__O;;. Hmmm that's all I can say I guess, other than suck it up if you're planning on watching it still. I'm bothered by the fanservice in both K-ON and Hatsukoi Limited...you don't see me complaining :P except maybe that annoying word "moe"....ugh.. |
| People actually thought the hug between mikage and teito when they reunited was something guys whom were merely friends would do (answer: no)? It seemed like something straight out of a romance anime as if two lovers were reuniting after a long time apart. Nothing wrong with that really and as long as they pick up the pace of the rest of the show and get out of that damn church (new anime category: church life?), teito and mikage can make out every episode for all i care. I dont think the show is full of it though as Frau (i think it was him) was clearly looking at magazines with nearly naked women on them. |
| You know, apparently people can't be really good friends anymore without other people thinking they're either lesbian or gay. What a world this has become. |
