I might have mentioned this a tad bit in the beginning, but even Teito's character seems a bit different. Maybe it's the seiyuu (I can't get wolfram's character out of my head :P) but Teito just seems bratty and a tad bit self-centered. And that's disappointing to me because I really like Teito in the manga.


I also keep thinking Wolfram when I hear Teito and his green eyes doesn't help. It's funny how anime!Teito acts a bit like him...

The only thing I don't agree with is this whole "bromance/shounen ai/boy love" thing that people have been spewing about once in a while. As much as I enjoy shounen-ai, and as much as I want to imagine a shounen-ai thing going on (I probably do once in a while) in this series - but this isn't shounen ai people. Just because the majority of the characters are male and they show a strong friendship between two guys and say "I love you" (what, you don't say "I love you" to your same sex friend?) doesn't mean it has to be a shounen-ai series.

I think this is why people aren't enjoying this series so much. When Studio Deen likes to abuse there control into creating this not so great adaptation and when people misunderstand/misinterpret something so important to this series (the friendship between these two guys) ....it really is no wonder why people just complain about the series. I mean, amongst the many posts I read in the the threads about this series, what is the most common comment I see? The stupid damn chains that Teito has. I means seriously?! Really guys, if all you get from this series is the damn annoying chains, and you can't just bare yourself to ignore it. Then...I dunno what else to say.

I really apologize for such a long and rude post. :(


Totally agree.

As much as I like shounen-ai and whatnot, I'm glad that this show isn't. I like the whole strong friendship and tight bonds that the guys make; we don't get it a lot of it in other shows.

I, too, am surprised how how much people complained about the chains and are super glad they're off. A huge hint that a show isn't entertaining the watchers enough (though a plus for the anime is that it showed how they came off, exactly. I didn't get it in the manga).

Anyways, the next episode would probably be the best for me. I'm too scared to see how they handle Hakuren.

I'm hoping he'll be okay...he's voiced by Fukuyama Jun...so it should be alright..right?*sighs heavily* :(. But I'm really glad to find another shounen-ai fan who appreciates this anime for what it is, and not what it looks like it is :) I really look forward to your posts in future threads :D!!

FINALLY! The @#$%^ chains are off!

However, Mikage is still around. (I'm starting to be reminded of Peter Sellers in the beginning of "The Party".)

And just what were those flying girl-spirits who wanted to fool around with Frau?

It's about time those chains FINALLY came off. The ending was getting intense. I'm glad the storyline is finally coming along. Hopefully it keeps on moving.

Lololol, he took the chains off.

Mikage finally admitted it. (I think you know what I mean.)
Was this also in the manga? Is it really that shounen-aish?

...And man, Mikage makes a hot villain *___* Enough to make me keep watching this anime at least till the next episode.

No, he never said it in the manga and it only has minor hints at shounen-ai (its more like shounen-ai fanservice: nothing too severe but if you read between the lines and if you think "that" way, its definitely there--and of course they still stick to the plot. Its not like all or nothing). But I still fangirled when he said "I love you, Teito" SQUEE xD I know its not that kind of love, but hey, a girl can dream, can't she? lol

In other news, Teito's tramp stamp is super special awesome.

I don't get why Teito was so shy about admitting his love for Mamiko Noto.

Poor Mikage... He really doesn't want to hurt Teito. I really hate Ayanami for possessing Mikage's body. And Teito will be really sad if Mikage died.

Finally a decent episode, the chains get off and some hopeful plot progression. At least it's been interesting enough to keep me from dropping it, even with the yaoi vibes the animation gives me

Damn, looks like Mikage is going to die. Jeez, this show is giving me mixed messages. Is he going to live or not, stop teasing me ;_;

The first half was uninteresting but the last half wasn't that bad, the action was alright but I didn't get how Frau turned into a grim reaper like that.

So the chains inexplicably get whisked away by a dog collar. Absolutely no relevance to them staying on as long as they did, cool. At least things have heated up and I think I can finally take this off hold.

This episode was supposed to be full of twists and turns yet I wasn't too thrilled as a lot was going on at the back of my mind. First, why Teito was still in shackles for 8 episodes straight? Was Mikage under hypnosis or is it that Ayanami possessed him?

Episode 8 had a lot of them answered - the action wasn't that impressive but the twists and turns made up for it.
