SO EPISODE 20 IS EVEN MORE AMAZING THAN LAST EPISODE. I forgive the anime for its slow start now.
Obligatory pretty Hakuren (and.. possessed Teito) cap. Though we'll be seeing a lot of pretty Hakuren this episode.
Our favorite dark couple. (No seriously i. The anime made me ship them sob loli/shoutacon?!) THEY'RE ALSO SO PRETTY.
At this point it becomes kind of blurry whether it's Teito or Michael in control and I LOVE IT. because it means I was right when i interpreted the manga.
Konatsu has one line in the whole episode. And it's 'Kuroyuri-samaaaaaaaa!!'
Mai angel. :'(
Who has the power to make me kind of hot what.
BABY ME SO CUTE.
Konatsu's only other appearence-- looking shocked with Kuroyuri as eyecandy. To be fair, he is pretty eyecandy.
I just love the look of the eye here.
HYUUGA IS A SEXY BASTARD.
From this point onwards? There will be many 'moements'. Moments so cute that it basically makes you have cavities, as if to make up for all the action/angst till now.
But before we get to that, have some srs!Lab.
And angst (with pretty Hakuren and pretty pink background).
MOEMENTS!!
Bastien ;o; Someone app the tiny tree and make Frau, Teito, and Hakuren love you forever. Also I love Frau's sort of quizzical look (though he gets a moe smile shot later when he says to plant Bastien in the sunniest place in the gardennn~)
LANCE APPEARS.
Hakuren! Is Gay! For me! (ILU BFF)
And I leave you with Lance. Because the world needs more Lance.
SO I'M UBER HAPPY WITH THIS EPISODE GUYS. I mean. Those were some of my favorite chapters compressed into one, and Teito doesn't sound like a little girl when singing (and is good to boot!), and also this means this anime season will probably end at the conclusion of the exam arc and aaah sohappy! My only complaint is (still) that if they cut down maybe even one or two unnecessary filler episodes at the anime's start it wouldn't have felt so slow and lost so many viewers that way, and not make amazing episodes such as these feel so rushed (since a lot happened at the end there for the story, though the animation quality was still first rate throughout.)
