Rue had her chance to get a heart and let it slip away. Autor's confession of love and apparent willingness to give his life was rather abrupt but it looks like it's added some doubt in her mind. She must be doubting her father and I can't blame her considering how crappy Mytho has been turning out.

Poor Mytho is suffering a lot :<

A lot of awesome music in this episode, as usual. I wonder if normal people see Tutu as a swan. Because Pique said Tutu was a bird and the bookmen saw her as a swan too.

it's impossible to watch this episode without wanting to watch the next episode immediately afterwards.

Ahhh this is getting extremely exciting! o.o

I didn't really like the sudden confession of Autor either, but it's good to see that Rue still has some of her own feelings left.

This was an exciting episode! We got a lot of information and though the story "stopped" to me it seemed like it finally started moving towards a conclusion.

Genius, simply genius! The entire town being a dead end where stories are coincidentally born was brilliant. It all makes sense...everything is coming together in the best possible way it could. I hope it remains this way for the final episodes.

I can't stop watching this show, it's so interesting now! Didn't expect Tutu to be kidnapped by Drosselmeyer.

Infinite Story Works.

So Drosselmeyer has his own Reality Marble?

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

This is definitely a series that begs to watched over and over, so many things that have happened in the series made sense after this episode.

So that explains the random animals in the town.

Autor x Rue = OTP. I find them perfect together and I can't describe it that way about a pairing that exists from, like, six minutes.

Talk about a brilliant turn of events, this story just keeps getting more and more unexpectedly intriguing. I wonder if the heart shards at each gate are what's keeping the town isolated in Drosselmeyer's fairy tale. I had a feeling Autor would fall for Rue, it's now planted doubts in her father's words.

Although now with the revelation of why talking animals are the norm in that town, I wonder if Neko-sensei turns out to be this strikingly handsome man in the end.

Welp the story finally stops, and Princess Tutu is captured by Drosselmeyer. The whole town is subject to Drosselmeyer's story, but the story itself is what they actually need to fight? Kinda confusing to me. Although if they do end up destroying the story then Ahiru would turn back into a duck... :( I wonder how this show well end

Ridiculously impressive episode. Now that the anime is finally spilling the beans, I've never been more intrigued before. If only the show didn't had those filler-ish episodes during the middle...

Wow! The plot thickens... can Rue reedem herself? I want to believe yes. How will Ahiru and Fakir go about saving the prince? I can't wait to see! Since the gates indicated shards of Mytho's heart, does that perhaps mean that they are some sort of wards keeping the raven inside? That wouldn't really make sense with what we learned, so I don't think so...

It looks like we'll soon get an epic finale. What an amazing show!

This is really a well designed story ...
Rue getting surprised to hear that someone loves her is surprising by itself, she is a beauty after all lol ...

I lost it when Tutu was captured in Drosselmeyer's gearwheel and pulled out of the fiction. This show is really brilliant in terms of storytelling and cinematographic space.

And now we have characters in a story directly rebelling against their author. This show is wild man.

I'm also pleased that the show is returning to its first half quality. The immediate episodes succeeding Ep 13 were a letdown, especially since the first half handled the episodic nature of the story pretty well. If this show keeps up its momentum, this'll be one of the best shows I've seen in a while.
