I'm not sure whether you're being serious or not. Heterosexual guys do not generally hug in most circumstances, much less hug in a romantic'ish way. Next thing you know people will be complaining that just because two guys kiss doesn't mean they aren't just friends still.

Ask yourself if you would respond the same if mikage was female with both people doing exactly the same thing. I suppose if that was the case people wouldn't argue so much over the obvious hints about the two being more than just friends.

I hug my guy friends o__o;;...and just because it's not the social norm, doesn't mean that there aren't guys who do hug each other; my bf hugs his friends and I don't go off assuming that he's cheating on me.

So far, I didn't like how the anime re-arrange certain sequences because it feels some parts are disjointed. Like the scene at the end from this episode...I thought it was quite odd for Mikage to suddenly get up, walk over to Teito and spew his 'don't make enemies speech'. The flow of the exchanges from Teito to Mikage is abrupt in that scene because they changed parts of Mikage's dialogue from the manga. It was done much better in the manga. I also dislike how the anime is dragging *certain* stuff. I just don't feel the tension if they keep prolonging the inevitable. With the way things are transitioning, I'm getting less and less impress with the anime version. Frau alone isn't enough to save the show for me.

I don't know if it was because I finished this arc of the manga in one sitting or not, but the pace feels REALLY slow, i mean, theres a lot of things to happen after this but with 25 episodes only, I can't see them being able to fit in if they keep this up.

You keep defending this series to the point where I want to see how it is going to end. To be honest, I am almost close enough to being bore by this series. Put the story telling and character development aside, all I can see in this 5 episodes are nothing more than just: "Mikage: I won't betray you, Teito." and "Teito: How are you doing now, Mikage?"

It may be just my personal taste by I still think they are overdo it.

If that's directed to me...

o__o;; I'm only defending the friendship theme

It's not like the anime is perfect, and there are tids and bits that I don't like about the adaptation from manga to anime. But really, it's not the first time for an anime to do that. I don't like focusing on all the tiny bad things...I see no point in that. I just watch it because I like the series, I love seeing everything in animation.

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.


Same here. Why is everyone so physced and think this is the best thing since ice cream? It has a good theme to it, and the feel gives it that "kool" factor. It seems to posses a LOT of potential. BUT...nothings happened. 5 episodes and I'm just waiting. 1 episode of them in school. Then 4 episodes of Teito just sitting in church. Pace is slow...story seems promising but nothing great has happened.
(And two reviewers have already given it 10's? Nothings happened...Manga may be great but this isn't the manga, or we haven't gotten to the good parts yet, 7/10 til something happens lol).

I'm not complaining...I'm just hoping SOMETHING does happen. Or I will be very disappointed. I can handle a slow build up...but they better deliver.

On a side not, take the chains off already! lol.

And the whole Zephions? Interesting concept...something new and different. But I'm getting bored of them. Is that all they do? Is swirly swords that go round and round and shoot a little blue destructive light out? Don't they have any other attack? Just think they could have made them more intriguing.

Another pretty good episode. Not sure about the complaints about Mikage showing up, kind of obvious he's a puppet being manipulated by Ayanami or something along those lines. I'm sure exact details will be forthcoming when he inevitably betrays Teito.

I'd say the only weak link is the action. None of the Zaiphon fighting has been terribly exciting or well done thus far. I was hoping it was a fluke and would improve, but after five episodes guess not...

Thumbs-up Frau for the win, by the way. Had me laughing hysterically.

This show is so slow. I feel like there's a lot of things happening, yet no explains for any of it. Hopefully the pace will begin to pick up soon and things will start becoming clue because honestly, at this point, I don't understand what's going on.

Pretty sure, just want to confirm : the blonde sister's seiyuu is Mamiko Notoh, isn't she ? I guess it's hard to mistake Mamiko chan's voice... But i don't find any info 'bout these sisters.

Nice episode.


And why don't they take the chains off Teito ffs? >_<
Mikage was kinda acting strange at the end. I wonder what will happen to him, he sounded like he was saying goodbye or something. :|

Yup! It's her who did Rosalie (the blond) ^^
It was confirm on the offical site, though no one had put that up <.<
The other pink hair girl is voiced by Kaori Nazuka! And even Razette (the mermaid) was confirm to be voiced by Sayori Hayami XD Though I am not sure it's true since she was also mention to be voicing (mention on spoiler tag)
There are going to be some more cast joining which have confirm who's voice actor are.

Ah, really. At the very beginning this show was claimed to have many famous seiyuus. Thanks for the info.

Oh that was a little weird I was sure that Mikage died in episode 4 but it looks like I was wrong ...uh but still I don't think Ayanami would just let him go meet Teito like that
Anyway I think he is really doing to die soon if the anime follows the manga

and another thing ,why on gods name is Teito still wearing those chains it's really getting annoying -__-

LOL. Teito thinking about how he's going to be a burden to everyone, especially Frau.. but then he;s like "well, who cares about the last person anyway?" XD

But yay he's reunited with Mikage. It was a cute moment. :)

Are they ever gonna pick up the pace in this show? Or at least make it interesting enough so I can forget that it's been 5 eps and nothing important happened?!?!
I'm not buying about Mikage, he couldn't have just simply escaped. There's something more to it.
And are they EVER gonna get those chains off of Teito's wrists?? I know he used to be a slave, but it's been 5 episodes already!!!

Frau's amazing pervertness never ceases to amaze me and the fact that Mikage was all like "wooooooooow" was even more epic!

Mikage...obviously this seems to be a trap! Or something...I bet Ayanami had a trick up his sleeve! Those Kor probably were related to him..

I wonder how Teito can even change clothes with those chains...It's impossible no matter how you look at it..

The moment where Teito said "It feels as if you're going to leave me" made me REALLY sad..

Awesome episode but you have to admit it's very strange that Ayanami let Mikage go.

Looks like my fears from episode 1 will be realized. I get the feeling Mikage is gonna die. He seems like such a great friend too, I hope I'm wrong about this.
