timepiececlockA brief squeeing thought on 9 minutes into Tutu, episode 9: Okay, Rue just looked into Mytho's eyes as saw Princess Tutu reflected, where previously anyone who looked into his eyes (including Ahiru) saw empty pools of nothingness. But that's not the interesting part! The interesting part is that in episode 8 Ahiru looked into Fakir's eyes and saw a reflection of herself as Ahiru. There was even a little zinging sound effect. That's the only two times in the show so far (that I've caught) where a distinct figure has been reflected in someone's eyes. And both of them ended up being her, Tutu for Mytho and Ahiru for Fakir. Hear that, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
riddering? Shipwatch! Interestingly, if we take this a little farther, both of them are princesses that saw the reflections... Rue saw Tutu and Ahiru saw herself. I wonder what that means. I find it very interesting.
ETA: And Fakir randomly jumps through a window to save the day that doesn't need saving! And in doing so accidentally gives the villain back her evil motivations! I :heart: this anime.
ETA2: Also, the next-ep promos for this show are evil. Because they confuse me, and I'm already a fair amount confused just from the episode.
ETA3: I'm also curious about this quote they keep using: "There is happiness for those who accept their fate. There is glory for those who fight their fate."
That could have a whole host of meanings. Tutu's fate is to love & save the prince but never have him. Fakir's fate apparently involves a gory death? The prince's fate is still unclear. The raven's fate is apparently to fight Tutu while Ruu's fate is to always love Mytho. Who's going to fight their fate? Who's going to sacrifice happiness for glory, or vice versa?
Why am I so wrapped up in an anime about ballet?! ...because I already love it, I suppose.

Re: Names in "Tutu"
