Therefore, You Pass Through the Door of the Defeated… Miken: Man am I glad they managed to stick the entire exam mini-arc into one episode, since it was kind of annoying reading it even though I can’t even remember how long it was in the manga…and it’d be for the best to get past it quicky. [...]

Oh episodes from this series recently have been really really awesome~ I only didn't hurry in watching it out of character bias . . .ehehe . . . but I love the series just the same~Entrance exams in the anime and manga universe are pretty common, on whatever genre. . . usually on action/adventure though. In 07-Ghost is one of those exams that I don't find . . .typical. I hope more series are like this~Exam started with the leading character not being qualified for an exam because he doesn't have power of all times. The leading character doesn't always need miracles to be able to go through the exam. He got help from someone . . . it's a character that we have no idea how he met though (at least, I don't remember) . . . but I really like it that there had been a character who hadn't been selfish . . . and the position that they want to take is for people who aren't selfish. Those people who help deserve winning~Like many exams, we have an elimination round . . . awesome that this round is like a horror scene, with ghostly hands pulling you down~ Elimination rounds are meant to surprise you on the difficulty though in actuality they are very easy to get through. It's really good that your will to fight is tested first . . . without it there's no point to go through the whole process~Just when the hell have been an exam for a religious position involved math??!!! Haha! Looks like our bishop exam isn't just about memorizing scriptures and fighting, but even on computation and analysis. Different brain skills being tested, awesome~They answer questions not through pen and paper . . . but they use their powers . . . and they don't only answer on something that stands still . . . but even on their opponents. We see the teamwork on question-and-answer portions, because not only Hakuren knows everything, but there are some things that only Teito has remembered.The exam also puts you through life-and-death situations . . . because you don't only have to use your brain cells . . .you also have to rush or else you'll drown. Fortunately, Teito has a reliable partner who lets him save his energy. Not all the students who had made on that round were able to hold their breath long . . . and Teito, being such a nice boy as usual, help the guy even if he didn't need to. The proctors have been acting indifferent, and that got Teito pissed off. I like it that it's shown that some examination proctors could be assholes.Not only your skills and knowledge were tested, but even your balancing and reflexes. Teito was nice enough as usual to carry other "examinees". They didn't want to hold each other down, and say that they could be depended upon if anything goes wrong. Oh what partnership~ They had been safe in this round thanks to Hakuren~Final round is a battle! Oh if this was typical shounen they would have fought already to see who's the victor. But in this one, they really really insist on letting the other become victorious instead. Since they really don't want to fight, they both chose the path of the defeated. They even ignored the offer of letting them going to the path of victory. They had been that humble and generous. Necessary traits of the position they're aiming for~I was giggling on this part because it seemed like a final round and Teito called Lance the last boss. What's this, a video game? Hahaha! Well, the final test is to answer why they chose that door.Since they answered correctly, they passed~ They possessed the traits that have been necessary to become a bishop. This is a test wherein the "losers path" is what will make you pass, first time I've encountered that. Of course the main characters have passed it, but at least it didn't take them so many chapters and episodes to end an exam (I'm looking at you Naruto!!! Uuuuggghh . . . . those exams took so long . . . .)Oh I wish more exam stuff in fantasy/action/adventure anime are like this. Creative, not freakin' long, and not typical either. So awesome . . .so awesome . . . .I love 07-Ghost.Though I have to admit that their lines of "I want to protect my friends" had been sooooo OVERUSED. Even if it's something noble and nice, it's really irritating if characters keep on saying it. You don't need to repeat your reason for fighting, jeez.Here's my favorite part in the exam:Teito saying that he'll watch Hakuren's back . . .and Hakuren saying that he won't hold Teito down . . . then later Teito sneezes, making Hakuren surprised and almost fell. Bwahahahahahha~More about bishop examinees, we get to learn that Frau and Castor used to be partners:and they used to fail for 2 years all because of Frau. Hahahahhahaa!!!! Isn't it awesome that the powerful and prodigy bishops had actually failed in their exams??? Hahahhaha!!!!!Ah, other stuff about the episode:Aya-tan is just so hott as usual The empire had found out about Mikhail . . . . and it looks like they want to get rid of Teito, so that Raggs won't be revived again. Aya-tan is already a big problem, but now facing the whole empire??!!! What destiny Teito has . . . .for a Raggs prince and a holder of the Eye.I know my beloved had scenes in this episode but . . . they were just the same as with the previous ones, And the one with the eye open had his back faced on the audience, so we can't tell if it's Mikhail or Teito with just the eye open.Alright, next episode:I do not have any memory of this because I can't remember the manga . . . I'm also lazy to reread . . . except on the chapter which Mikhail had appeared. I will recheck the manga if he appears in the episode. Heeheeehee~ But well, I know next episode will be awesome anyway~ Hehe. Looking forward to it~

Before I go fan crazy about the drama cd . . . again . . . here's the cover of the upcoming Supreme Sugar (07-Ghost official doujinshi) manga:Oh Mikhail . . . I'm so in love . . . I can't wait for this doujinshi~By the way, there had been confusions on how Mi-ku-ha-i-ru is supposedly spelled in English, because it could be either Mikhail or Michael. GoComi used "Mikhail" but now we see the drama cd use "Michael". I guess what the mangaka originally has in mind for the archangel's name is really "Michael".Michael is more appropriate . . . since I've heard that it's how it's really spelled in German . . .and this series uses German words. And someone has informed me that the way the name "Michael" is pronounced in German sounds like "Mikhail", thus the katakana sounding like "Mikhail".Hhhmmm . . . but even if "Michael" is the official romanization . . . I'm already used to "Mikhail" . . . and besides, it sounds sexier and more mysterious. Fits our beloved crazy yet awesome archangel better. Hehe~Anyway, now about the drama cd . . .I highly thank allforchocolate for sharing this seductive picture of the cover of the Mikhail Drama CD which was released last May:*faints from long staring on the sexy god* . . . . *returns to the real world* Why the hell did I see it only . . .today??!!! Oh how could I miss Mikhail goodness . . . but anyway, better late than never~ Oh it got me hyper on Mikhail again~ I miss the drama cd, so I listened to it again~I already fangurled about it at my personal journal over here and over here. I actually have a comment on each freakin' line . . . because each of them are either cute or funny or simply awesome. Haha! I thank my dear friend defade for the translations~Here's the organized translations of the drama track, by the way:Hakuren: Hn...today I worked until quite late and studied hard. I suppose I'll relax in my room to prepare for tomorrow and bid farewell to today. Mm, life is indeed beautiful. Oh, and I suppose I'll try the book I borrowed from Bishop Castor with Teito, the one on yoga poses that help with sleep. Since Teito doesn't seem to be getting enough sleep, what with all those nightmares...so- TEITO-?!Michael: Ohhhh~ So you are Hakuren Oak. An important person to my master.Hakuren: This is not Teito! The red stone on his right hand...Mikhail awakened?!Michael: Unlike that Zehel, you won't get on my master's nerves. Although that is not to say that your insolent acts of calling him an elementary schooler has completely slipped my mind...but fine. I suppose I'll close one eye to that on the account of your friendship with master. Hahahahaha....Hakuren: S-scary-! His eyes aren't smiling at all! This is bad...Michael: But well...Zehel's existence in itself irks my master. That stare from above...that height...unfavorable. He's simply brandishing that difference, isn't he? Outrageous! Simply outrageous!Hakuren: Silently....silently...Michael: By the way, where do you think you're going?Hakuren: !! No, I just remembered something I have to do...Bishop Frau said that he can put Teito to sleep with the collar, he'll be able to resolve this situation. The Eye of Mikhail...the mystic stone that is said to have the power to seize half of the world. If I don't play my moves correctly, I won't be able to study for my exam tomorrow- nevermind that, I might never be able to study for it again! I said I'd bid farewall to today, but now I'm faced with the risk of bidding farewell to me life- NO! I'd be troubled! Extremely troubled!! What in the world did I do to deserve this! MORE LIKE, I REALLY WANT TO SLEEP RIGHT NOW. PLEASE JUST LET ME SLEEP.Michael: You wear your heart on your sleeve.Hakuren: !!!Michael: Outrageous. But...I don't dislike your honest self. Well, sit there.Hakuren: So...why are you in the open?Michael: To tell the truth, master isn't getting sufficient sleep. His exhaustion is wearing him down. He may seem to be sleeping soundly on the surface, but that is no more than a facade the army trained him to put on in the event of enemy assault. The problem is...master isn't aware of that.Hakuren: Teito...ah! Great timing! I've brought this yoga book from Bishop Castor over just so we can try it!Michael: Ohh~ As expected from my master's friend! I shall use it then, with compliments!Hakuren: Let's see...cross your arms behind your back, stand on one feet, left up the other while breathing out...once your head touches your foot, keep that pose for 30 seconds- AS IF I CAN DO THAT. Eh? EEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?! YOU DID IT.Michael: Master has a flexible body to begin with. Something like this is mere warm up for him.Hakuren: ....hehehe....Michael: Well then, Hakuren, why don't you talk about something? Hmm...like how you think of my master?Hakuren: ...what is with this embarassing development.Michael: My master thinks highly of you...I'm interested. Go ahead and talk.Hakuren: WHY ARE HIS EYES SPARKLING IN ANTICIPATION!!!Hm...Teito is...how do I put it...a very important friend. He doesn't talk much...but I suppose that's due to the harsh life he led in the military. But despite that, he doesn't lose his compassion and is straightforward. He has his share of clumsiness and recklessness, which is quite worrisome...but I think he possess true strength, moreso than anyone. When I first met him...Michael: *snoreyawn* No good, no good, I've fallen sleep. Now...where were you again?Hakuren: ARE YOU WITHOUT SHAME.Michael: Hmm...I've done you wrong. Please start over again-Hakuren: NO NO NO PROBLEM! PLEASE KINDLY KEEP SLEEPING!Michael: *yawn* Well, since I seem to be finally nearing sleep, I request a lullaby.Hakuren: LULLABY!?Michael: Hakuren, master's heart seemed to be calmed by your voice. He's opening himself up to you. You have my thanks.Hakuren: Ah- well, it's not something to be thanked for-Michael: SO! A song, if you will? I shall rest after hearing it.Hakuren: UAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRGH! Mother, is this some sort of trial? Song...song? One powerful enough to put the Eye of Mikhail to sleep? Sounds good...a song that helps Teito sleep in peace! *clears throat**insert whacky song I'm too lazy to translate, plus I'm not good at understanding that type of Japanese* (~ TL Note)Michael: Witholding judgment on the actual quality, your expression [of the song] is peculiar, Hakuren. But...not bad.Frau: Here you go. Coffee. Just get back to your room after drinking it.Michael: ....what is this? You don't even know my master's preferences? He despises things of a bitter nature.Frau: What now, haven't drunk coffee before? What a kid~ Well, it just happens that I'm not in the habit of storing dairy products or sugar in my room. Is black coffee too much for a kid? HAHAHAHA!!Michael: ...hn. Did I just hear...'kid', or are my ears betraying me....?*kills coffee*Frau: You did NOT just destroy my love-filled drink!Michael: You don't store milk nor sugar? What a useless fool. Bring me a cup of tea. Now. And I'll say this beforehand...but if you try to restrain me using the collar...then it'll be your doom.Frau: ...he read ahead.*yawns* Geez....here, cup of tea. Seriously, just go back to your room after you drink this. Huh? What now? You don't need this?Michael: I've changed my mind. Master likes melon soda. Bring me some, Zehel.Frau: Y-you damn midget staring down at me! I'm not taking this shit anymore! Imma gonna stuff a green-colored (I cannot make out this part) into your damn mouth!Michael: Damn midget staring down at you...!? What insolence against my master! UNFORGIVABLE.Frau: I'm not saying this to Teito! It's for you!Michael: NO EXCUSES! Zehel...it seems that the time has finally come for you to part with this world. Let me guide you to the deepest pits of hell. Taste despair that surpasses even the ninth circle!Frau: Eh? AHHHHHHHH!!Labrador: Mikhail-sama, did you call for me?Hakuren: Woah...Bishop Frau's room is messed up.Michael: Profe and...Hakuren? I am very upset right now. Damn Zehel...can't even make a cup of tea properly, and what is with him not storing any of master's favorites?Labrador: That must have been greatly worrying.Hakuren: Zehel...Profe? Why are you talking about the gods?Labrador: Mikhail-sama, please call us by 'Labrador' and 'Frau'.Michael: Ohh I see. Must be quite hard, living amongst the humans.Hakuren: B-by the way....why are you holding a bottle of vodka?Michael: Well, it was right here. Geez...and he dares call himself a bishop.Labrador: ...that's very bad. Priming right beside the bomb.Hakuren: Bishop...I fear that the worst situation may come to pass-Michael: Did you say something?Lab & Hakuren: NO! Nothing at all.Labrador: Mikhail-sama, if Teito is thirsty, then you shouldn't really drink wine.Michael: Well, it's not like I'm seriously considering drinking it.Hakuren: ...then what's with the happy face.Michael: Hmm...not a bad smell. Hahahaha- master is still underage. I shouldn't really be drinking wine.Labrador: I will lecture Frau on his storage of wine, and I'll take care of that bottle, so please hand it over.Michael: It's not like you have to take care of it right away, or is it?Labrador: It's dangerous, so please hand it over. Okay?Michael: What's so dangerous about it?Labrador: Putting that aside, it seems like Hakuren just made some of Teito's favorite food. So why don't you give them a try?Hakuren: Yes yes! I've made muffin - Teito mentioned that he'd love to try some out one day.Michael: Favorite food? How attentive of you, Hakuren! You made these yourself? I'm sure master will be delighted.Labrador: That's great! Go ahead and try them with this cup of special herb tea.Michael: Mmm...great smell, as expected of you, Labrador.*sips* Splendid taste as well. You guys are quite competent, much better than Frau. Hakuren, master likes the taste of it. What did you put in?Hakuren: Well, nuts in this one...Michael: Oh~Hakuren: And here, some eyefish to bring out a more mature taste-Michael: I don't need this one.Hakuren: And dry fruits in this one.Michael: Ohh~ I like this one.Hakuren: And here...Labrador: ...have to get the wine right now...Michael: Mmm~ Master will be delighted with this! Hahahaha- *snores*Hakuren: !!....he's sleeping.Labrador: Great! Seems like the instant-sleep drug I put in the tea is working.Frau: Geez...so my wine got confiscated, my door blown off and it's pretty damn cold. But more importantly! Why the hell is that damn Mikhail so open with Lab and Hakuren?! Not sitting well with me! And what the hell was that? Staring down at me when he actually has to look up at my face?Labrador: Hehe...the trick is just reaching out to the other. Frau, just get along with him.Hakuren: Maybe...Bishop Labrador is the hardest to deal with.I thank Dorothy for doing the organizing. Hehe. Also, if you want to download the tracks, you can get them from the Mikhail/Michael/Mikhael Fanlisting! I also encourage people to JOIN! I do not think Mikhail fans are that few . . . hehehehe.I'm so crazy about Mikhail again that I feel like making a tribute post or something. . . . Hhhhmmm . . . . maybe I really will. . . . once the anime is over. I'll be collecting all Mikhail goodness~ So, watch out for that~

Episode 20: They Both Offer a Requiem Miken: This series is getting harder and harder to watch with each passing episode.

One of the best episodes of this series once again~ Even if I was screaming like crazy when a certain part happened. Ehehe. It made a few changes from the manga, and covered more than two chapters, but the anime had presented it so well . . . I have no complains.The animation had been so pretty, and the music . . . wow!The events . . . so intense~ It wasn't perfect, but I got thrilled~The music's so wonderful too~ A really fantastic episode![ WHAT HAPPENED ]I base on the manga counterpart . . . because I'm impatient for subs . . . but of course I'm still watching it. Ohohohoho~Hakuren was pwned, they were both brought along. But when Hakuren gained consciousness, he grabbed Teito and jumped out off the flying vehicle.Good thing Frau was there to catch them. Frau was able to wake Teito up, and it turns out that his Eye of Mikhail is being infected by dark stuff that he needs to take it off. Mikhail refuses to be separated from his master though.And then they got separated because Kuroyuri attacked them.Mikhail landed on where Kuroyuri and Haruse are. Mikhail's powers had been out of control . . . and Haruse captures him.Of course I do not enjoy seeing my beloved tied up like that.Haruse had been so determined to die for Kuroyuri's sake. Of course Kuroyuri didn't like the idea.Mikhail won't let himself fall under the enemy's hands, but he needs to be separated from Teito or else Teito's condition might worsen. He chants the spell, and when the Eye was out, such destructive power was let out. It was so incredible that everyone who saw it was amazed.Mikhail assures Teito that he will always be his master, for he is his chosen master, and will await the day when he gets stronger. Teito recalls his other memories during that event too.Meanwhile, Hyuuga and Frau fight over getting the Eye and Teito.Teito and the Eye falls . . and Teito tries to reach for it. He was already so close but when the other two came; Frau had saved Teito but Hyuuga got the Eye.Of course I did not enjoy Mikhail's last conversation with Teito because it means bye bye to my Mikhail in Teito's body fanservice . . . Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!Teito prefered that the Eye was taken instead of him. He wants to kill Ayanami a.s.a.p. But well, to the ones close to him, his safety is the priority. They are very grateful that he's alright.Teito's seriously huggable~ Two hugs in a day . . . daaaaaaaaw~Then we have more Teito flashback . . . sort of. I find it cool when young Teito had sort of seen the present him.Teito recalls a song . . . and sings it~ Frau recognizes it, saying it's a song from Raggs, but the friend of his who used to sing it is already dead.Teito reveals that he used to be able to control Eye's power while being conscious. But he also sealed it himself in order to not be used by the Empire.Teito asks Frau about Bastien . . . then Castor and Labrador showed up. They brought a plant that's somewhat related to Bastien, and Frau had it planted in their favorite tree~Teito finally changed clothes (no longer his mourning ones). Not that he had forgotten Mikage, but he is taking an exam with a friend now. That made Hakuren so touched. Then Frau has blessed them.Later they meet a new bishop that had taken Bastien's place. His name is Lance and he's now in charge of the examinations~[ NEXT EPISODE ]Next episode seems awesome as usual~ And I wish they put more Lance crack~ Hahaha! I need more laughs, because this one's mostly serious . . . hehe.[ WHY NOT IN THE ANIME ]I like the black wings on Mikhail thing! It must've been so cute to see him not being able to control his wings while in the air~As for the others . . . maybe I'll add them here tomorrow . . .[ MIKHAIL/MICHAEL PICSPAM ]My beloved had been so cute and awesome in this episode. I love him~ And if that is not yet obvious, here are some scenes I took of him~first time he showed up in the episode~oh his voice~he looks cute here~he looks cute even if how he's drawn is kinda weird~I love his surprised face~manga looked cooler though, but still . . . Mikhail~I love bloodshot eyes . . .with tears~oh the way he lands is sexy~he looks younger here~he's cute in whatever facial reaction~you cannot threaten him~whoa! dark stuff in his hand!it's out of control!trying to hold it . . .he didI think his eyes got brighter in this shottroubled Mikhail is so cute~I don't get why he checked up on the guy with that expressionbut he looks cute so no complains . . .noooooooooooo . . .Mikhail's real appearance~ I wish he was not like just in status form, but like how the manga did . . .oh those eyes~eye power!!!!yay for cleaner version of the previous oneOMG THAT LOOK!!!!!I FREAKIN' LOVE HIM HERE!!!!!!KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But no more Mikhail after this . . .WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!*laments* . . . *depressed* . . . . *anguish*Unless the anime can catch up on the part with Mikhail in chibi Teito . . . .Oh my darling angel . . . I'll miss you~As for the others . . . I got lazy . . . this is the last episode with Mikhail this season . . . let him have the spotlight.

I decided to separate this part from the episode post or else that post would have become . . . extremely long. Ehehe.But this is still the best among the rest:Mwahahahahahahaha!!!! *addicted to Mikhail*Okay, see the lovely pics of the others below~Sorry if they're not HQ, but it's the scene that matters more, not the quality, right? LOLz~[ TEITO ]As if the main character will not have his goodlooking scenes~I love him best when he blushes. Freakin' cute~[ BURUPYA ]SO FREAKIN' ADORABLE!!!!!!!!*dies from diabetes*[ HAKUREN ]Pretty as ever~Why so fabulous?!

Ahh~ This image describes this episode well~It's bloody and twisted . . . yet so awesome . . . and makes one delighted . . . its got the crack too . . . and some light moments . . . even though most of the parts had been so dark~Nice~To sum it up, Castor gets to have a chat with Aya-tan. He figures out that half of his soul is with Kuroyuri, so if he hurts the kid, Aya-tan gets hurt too; and he so did that. But Aya-tan doesn't want his servant killed, so I think he did some little possession to get Kuroyuri out of Castor's threads. Castor and Kuroyuri had a battle, but Castors pwns the kid so much~ In the end Kuroyuri was able to surprise him though, but Haruse and Labrador arrive to save them. Haruse and Kuroyuri escaped.Bastien had a funeral, and of course many bishops and nuns attended. Frau is now innocent, but him not being tainted by a Warsphile made the sisters suspect that he might be one of the seven ghosts. And the bishops do a very cute thing to change the topic and make them forget that idea~Meanwhile, Hakuren is looking after Teito. His thoughts are over what he had learned about Teito and how freakin' worried he is and how such a nice guy Teito is for saving a guy like him. When he tries to touch Teito, my beloved angel reacted, thinking an intruder was touching his master. Hakuren clears up the misunderstanding, and when Mikhail dear had realized that he's his master's precious person, he brings Teito back. Teito wakes up, and huggles Hakuren . . .still freakin' worried over him and Mikage on what happened~ Well, Hakuren clears up to him what had happened. Then the bishops show up . . . and Teito beats up Frau as soon as he saw the dude. He doesn't like Frau's statement that it's okay for him to be killed by Teito. Frau explains why . . . but he still doesn't like the idea . . . so he goes away~Hakuren spotted Teito . . . being corrupted by a Warsphile (Kuroyuri). Frau had been in time but Kuroyuri transported them (Teito and Hakuren) elsewhere. By the way, Aya-tan and company are also coming~ That of course got the bishops alarmed~(sorry for the not-so-serious and detailed and obviously informal summary. Haha! And I also might've forgotten some parts . . . ah yeah, the part with the new characters. *got lazy* . . . but I'll show you pics~)[ NINETEEN FAVORITE SCENE FROM EPISODE NINETEEN ]Hyuuga telling the dude to wait a little because Aya-tan's busy . . . so cute~It's rare for Castor to do some pwnage (usually it's Frau). He's so awesome~I really love it when it's the good guys who are doing the torturing instead of the bad guys. It seriously doesn't happen often~Why did "Aya-tan bondage" come to my head . . .I like the fight between these two . . . Castor seems much stronger of course . . . but Kuroyuri being so young makes the scene look like Castor's bullying a child . . .eheheheDAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW~Flower boy to the rescue~ Thanks!Frau drooling got me so amused~Haruse: Was it a naughty child?Aya-tan: Yeah~Three bishops with such different personalities at one glace~ Hehe. It's from the scene of Bastien's funeral by the way. I liked the blue flowers~ forgot to take a screencap of those . .Burupya by Teito's side . . . daaaaaaaaaaaaaw~Hakuren being like threatened by my beloved. But Burupya jumped to him, like trying to say to Mikhail that he's not a bad guy~Huggles~ (guh . . . it should have been the same with Mikage!)Teit's such a worry freak, it's fun to pat him~Sweet moment between these two~Ahh, these two~How Hakuren spotted Teito~ Awesome scene~Hakuren went to Teito, and looking for who's responsible for this~Frau failing to save them~[ BEST SCENES ]This is out of bias of course because the best scenes for me is where my beloved appears or does/says something~ Wheee~Oh you overprotective violent angel~I LOVE THAT EYE!!!!!!!![ THE FUNNY SCENES ]Frau flirting~I always love it when Castor beats Frau up~I love their expressions~Oh Labrador so cute~Frau + pron!Angry Castor is cute~Three bishops running like idiots, even if not illustrated comically obvious, amused me a lot~Oh these two~It's supposed to eb serious, but Teito beating Frau made me laugh~Heeeheeehee~ Frau's face, LOLz~Wahahaha! What made me giggle more is watching Burupya biting Frau's leg!Bwahhehehehehe~Frau beign stepped on . . .LOLz~[ MY BELOVED ]The rest of his appearance was the same with the previous episode, except for this part:He looks like a lunatic!!! Squeeee~[ FAVE SCREENSHOTS OF THE OTHERS ]I'll upload them later 'coz . . . there's like 60 of them! I'm even thinking of making a separate page for those . . . okay . . . I really will.[ NEXT EPISODE ]It's being loyal to the manga so I'm sure next episode is going to be as awesome as this one~ Even if I don't particularly like it's . . . conclusion . . . out of bias (MY BELOVED BAAAW!!!). But since my beloved is there, I highly look forward to it~

I love episode 16! The scenes with Teito trying to save Frau, and Mikage trying to teach Teito how to smile are so sweet and funny. This episode also explains more about Verloren. Apparently, Teito's 'Father' was the one who stole the Pandora's box in which Verloren had been sealed away. So now, Teito's 'Father' seems to be the bad guy but given how he used to treat Teito, I believe there must be a misunderstanding somewhere.As for episode 17, it tells us more about Frau's past through Bastien. Though naughty and stubborn, Frau was a very kindhearted and talented child. From the way Bastien talks about Frau, it's easy to tell how much Bastien loves his pupil. Hence, I feel really shocked when Bastien suddenly turns evil.What's Hot?Teito tries to save Frau but Frau doesn't want to escape. - The verse Frau chooses to dedicate to Teito is really sweet! ♥Barsburg Scriptures Volume III Verse 17: 'As long as you keep anything about me within you, my heart will be with you!'*Flashback* Mikage tried to teach Teito how to smile but failed. - Oh.. how I miss Mikage!Teito attempts to smile for Frau. - It's a weird but really sincere smile.Hakuren and Teito decide to go back to the crime scene to find clues to save Frau. When they reach, Teito sees women floating around above Hakuren. Hakuren thinks that Teito is trying to scare him as he can't see the women. - How come Teito can see? Is it because of the Eye of Mikhail?Bastien tells Teito and Hakuren about Frau's past. - From the way Bastien talks about Frau, it's easy to tell how much Bastien loves his pupil.Bastien visits Frau in the prison and promises to save him. Frau can sense that something is wrong. - What is Bastien trying to do to save his precious student?After realizing that their Bascules have turned black, Teito and Hakuren suspect that something is wrong with Bastien and decide to look for him. Before they can reach him, they have to pass the guards first. When they finally reach Bastien, Bastien is already in combat/evil mode. - What the hell is happening? Why is Bastien suddenly the bad guy? Evil Bastien looks a little like Aya-tan. Is he really a Warsphile?What's Not?Why does Labrador look so weird in this scene? He's supposed to be the most 'beautiful' of the three.

This had been an awesome episode.Heck, just when was an episode with my beloved not awesome?!But, yeah, even bias aside, it has been a really good one. I don't think there are much changes from the manga. I like how the anime presented those scenes from the manga . . . very much~(UPDATED)Episode 18 continued from what the previous episode left off. Hakuren tried to attacks but Bastien easily handled him, even using him hostage against Teito. Teito's no match for Bastien either. Bastien reveals that he's working under Aya-tan, and Kuroyuri ordered him to handle the Teito kidnapping. When Teito's soul was about to be devoured, the angel inside him shows up to save his master~Mikhail, on the other hand, is too powerful for Bastien. He's so ready to kill him but Teito stops him (First time for them to actually converse~) because Bastien is important to Frau. Mikhail couldn't do as he wishes because his beloved master's resisting. Bastien takes advantage of the situation and strangles Teito/Mikhail. He hesitates a little though when Teito (Teito and Mikhail have been switching places, like on and off. Haha!) says about him wishing to be by Frau's side.And after that, speaking of the devil, he comes to the rescue~ Not as Frau, but as Zehel rather. Bastien is actually pleased to see him and ready to die. By the way, Bastien turned evil because he couldn't forgive criminals who seek sanctuary to the church . . . so he killed them all off . . . thinking that it's justice . . . and became a monster that he is now. But Bastien's love for his little boy had been true. It's not exactly clear to me what Bastien's wish had been, but it looks like in the end it became true.This scene makes me cry:On the other side, I forgot why Kuroyuri and Haruse separated but it looks like Haruse's gonna be battling with our favorite flower boy. Well, flowery boys are kinda gay, I agree, but flower boys that look evil around flowers is hott. As for Kuroyuri, the kid knew that Frau will be rescuing Teito . . . so he went after Frau's body while the guy's in Zehel form. But when he sliced off Frau's body, it turns out to be a doll. Of course our favorite doll bishop is behind it. And he was able to tie up Kuroyuri and communicate with the boss: Ayanami.Anyway, back to the part with my beloved. He tells Frau that there's actually no need to do any rescuing, knowing the kind of being he is. But Frau responds that the reason he did it is because of what Mikhail is. Well, when Teito returns, Frau puts him to sleep. The series shall continue next episode~ Mikhail and Aya-tan are there, so of course it's gonna be awesome. Mwahahahahahahha! (Okay, it really is awesome even without my bias~)This episode had action, drama, and blood~ I really love how the anime animated those chapters in the manga where it had been based. In fact, I like it better in the anime version. I'm also happy with the additional scenes. They fit. And they're good.I'm also happy to see Castor and Labrador kicking ass this time~ They seriously lack screentime. Haha!My absolute favorite scene of course is when Teito is stopping Mikhail; and Mikhail trying to persuade his master to kill the guy already~ It was fun to watch~Alright, favorite portion . . . some of my favorite screenshots!!! Wheee~ (usually they're LQ . . . they're more LQ now . . . sorry . . . )[ BASTIEN ]He looks even younger than before[ FRAU ]Young Frau's really cute . . . of course current him is good looking[ LABRADOR ]I really love it when the usually-smiling bishies go evil~[ CASTOR ]He's so hott~[ HARUSE ]He's hott as well~[ KUROYURI ]Freakin' adorable~[ HAKUREN ]Pretty as always~[ TEITO ]Leading character will always have cute scenes~[ AYA-TAN ]HE'S SO BLUE AND HOTT~And of course . . . .[ MIKHAIL ]MY BELOVED'S SO FREAKIN' AWESOME AS USUAL!!!!!!!Gotta love those eyes~He's cool in sideviewEven in this viewawesome hand covering mouthmore of that awesome handgetting readyposes and Burupya leaves because it's dangerousattack poseTeito interrupts for the first timeHe looks like a lunatic with that expression~More lunatic WTF expression~Teito's actually in charge but Mikhail so wants to do some killing~Oh those eyes~Those eyes . . . plus those stuff in the face . . . he's like some monster.

Overall, this is a pretty good episode. Not only do we get to see Castor and Frau in action, we also finally see some action from the military. Anyway, I can't believe Teito spent another episode mulling over whether to trust Frau and the Church or not. I'm glad that in the end, he finally decided to trust. I hope he will be firm with his decision and not be fickle-minded.What's Hot?Teito is too short to reach a book. Hakuren tries to help him but he jumps to get the book himself. - Haha.. this is expected but still funny!Castor uses his Zaiphon to 'kill' Haruse. - Is Haruse using a doll? Why can he explode and disappear?Frau plays with the kids in the Church. - Oh... I love guys who love kids.Frau falls for Kuroyuri's trap and is now imprisoned by the Church. - Poor Frau!While attending a military meeting, Aya-tan is also communicating telepathically with Kuroyuri and Haruse. - Aya-tan can multi-task very well! Also, Kuroyuri is surprisingly very devoted to Aya-tan. He looks so cute when he cries!Teito remembers 'Father's' name (Fea Kreuz). However, Castor and Labrador reveal to him that his 'Father' was excommunicated from the Church a long time ago. - Hmm.. more twist! Isn't 'Father' a good guy? Why was he excommunicated?What's Not?Teito ponders over whether to trust Frau and the Church or not. - After being saved so many times by Frau, I can't believe that he still can't fully trust Frau.

Episode 13 is an episode of revelations. First, it finally reveals more about Teito’s past. So far, we've been given many clues about his past. With this episode, all the pieces are starting to come together. Second, we also find out that the Bishops actually knew about Teito's past right from the beginning. This can be implied from the fact that Frau seems to be hiding something. It's really funny when Frau accidentally talked about Teito's 'Father' when he tried to comfort Teito.Episode 14, on the other hand, has a lot more action. Not only do we get to see Frau dolls again, we also get to see Kuroyuri and Haruse in action. I like those scenes with Frau. He looks especially cool when he jumps out from nowhere to save Teito and Hakuren. I'm particularly curious about the last scene. It makes me wonder if Frau feels his right arm burning every time after he uses his scythe.What's Hot?Late in the night, Teito suddenly recalls his past. He remembers 'Father' who took care of him when he was in the Church when he was a little child.Teito is looking up for some information about the Eye of Mikhail. When he's reading a particular book, a sudden gust of wind flips the book to the page about Veloren. When he reads the page, he gets drawn into another world and he starts seeing weird images. - How can there be wind in the library? It must be Mikhail's doing!Frau and Hakuren's first meeting! They become buddies instantly. - Hakuren is certainly a big fan of Frau. He even knows about his hobby and interest. LOLFrau and Castor discuss about the latest happening in the Church and about the Eye of Mikhail. Teito, who is looking for Frau to apologize for the broken bascule, happens to overhear them. He becomes very emotional and he begins to think more about 'Father'. He feels that people he loves always die and so he concludes that he doesn't want to love anyone anymore . - The only problem with Teito is he's too negative.Hakuren shows up with Mikage in pet form. Teito is full of angst and so Hakuren decides to call Frau. - It's nice to see Hakuren and Mikage in pet form getting along so well. ♥Frau tells Teito that he's protecting him. However, despite that he wants Teito to become stronger because he doesn't know how long he can stay by his side. - This is almost the exact words of Teito's 'Father'. I find it a little cheesy.Razette suddenly appears with the bascule. Mikage in pet form also suddenly appears on Frau's head. - Haha! So cute!Frau accidentally talks about Teito's 'Father'. It takes Teito 5 seconds to realize it. Teito then demands an explanation from Frau but Frau assures him he'll find out eventually. - LOLCastor is watching over Frau and Teito. Suddenly, an evil shadow appears behind him. Kuroyuri, who is acting as one of the students, is the culprit. - As expected, Aya-tan has penetrated the Church.In the night, Castor takes Teito out for training. Teito's task is to use a shield and run around the Church on a Zaiphon path until he doesn’t mind losing to the annoying Frau dolls. - To be fair, the dolls are less annoying in this episode.Teito and Hakuren open their hearts to each other. Teito tells Hakuren that the cute pet is his good pal's (Mikage's) reincarnation and he's the very reason why Teito wants to become a Bishop. As for Hakuren, he wants to become a Bishop because his mother was infected by a Kor and was after that saved by Bishop Frau. Even though his family tradition is to join politics or military, he decides to go against family tradition and join the Church. - Hakuren is becoming more and more likable!! Also, young Frau is so cute!!!Teito manages to complete Castor's training. He also manges to use his bascule to defeat all the Frau dolls. - I think the Frau dolls will disappear for good from this series.In the hallway, a monster suddenly attacks. Hakuren pushes Teito aside and tries to fight the monster. However, the monster proves to be too strong and Hakuren is thrown out the window. Teito immediately jumps out to catch hold of Hakuren. Fortunately for Teito and Hakuren, Frau appears and saves the day! Frau reveals that the monster is a Wars, a Kor that has gotten all its 3 wishes granted. To Frau's surprise, the Wars is Aldo. - Frau is so cool!!Kuroyuri and Haruse are obviously behind everything. Even though Frau senses their presence, they manage to escape before Frau can catch hold of them. - I guess this means that Kuroyuri and/or Haruse are Warsfiel. Anyway, Kuroyuri and Haruse really remind me of Honey sempai and Mori sempai!After Teito and Hakuren wake up in Frau's room, Teito asks Hakuren to stay away from him as he doesn't want to bring more trouble to Hakuren. However, Hakuren refuses to as Teito is the first person who has ever risked his life to save his. Hakuren calls Teito a comrade and offers to shake his hand, but Teito, out of fear of losing loved ones, refuses to shake his hand. At that moment, Mikage's spirit appears and talks some sense into Teito. - The Mikage part is a little cheesy but well, I like it! ^-^The alarm clock suddenly rings and Frau wakes up from within a coffin. - That's really unexpected!Out in the hallway, Teito declares that he wants to become Hakuren’s friend once he’s strong enough to protect him. Upon hearing that, Hakuren says that he's foolish. - Friendship is unconditional. It's indeed a little foolish of Teito to set a condition. Teito has too little self confidence. After Teito and Hakuren leave his room, Frau complains about how his right arm felt like it was burning the night before. - Hmm... why?What's Not?None! ^-^

Miken: Lazy blogging style to speed things up as I try to catch up on everything~ XD;; I haven’t blogged this in over a month, but that doesn’t mean I’ve given up on it. I’ve just lost a ton of interest with my favorite character gone. Plus, Teito’s hard to stand as the protagonist and Hakuren’s [...]
