cypsiman2Okay, I still don't ship it, but I'm a lot more open to Fakir/Ahiru than I was in previous episodes. Him realizing that the duck he poured his heart out to was in fact Ahiru, and him being all 'nooo, now she knows I have feeeeeelings!!!', was definitely very amusing. And yeah, Ahiru and Fakir have a pretty good dynamic going on, now that Fakir's stopped being such an asshole to Ahiru. Still, it's not quite my cup of tea, and at the moment I'm more interested in seeing Ahiru and Rue restoring their friendship and realizing that their real enemy is Drosselmeyer.
Oh, and speaking of Princess Kraehe and Drosselmeyer, I loved the bit where Kraehe contacts Drosselmeyer out of the blue, totally throwing him off his game. That, was great, and reminds me so very much of Kraehe/Rue is my favorite. Also, I find it interesting how in the original story, Princess Tutu was essentially a bit character whose purpose was to move the plot along. What can I say, all this playing around with narrative conventions really works for me!

I also loved Edel helping Ahiru and Fakir. She's a wonderful and fascinating character.
I also thought it was awesome when Kraehe called on Drosselmeyer. That was pretty badass of her!

I like her a ton, and I hope she won't need her strings before long.
Damn badass indeed! Talking back to the narrator and getting away with it! XD
