** Plus, there's a ''major'' difference between Rue's exposure and the town's people exposure. Rue was ''fed'' Raven Blood, while the Town's People were ''drenched with'' Raven Blood.

*** Fakir naming him based on what Charon said probably happened. However, in both English and Japanese, what Fakir said was that he thinks "Prince" is a weird name or that he thinks it's weird for Mytho's name to be "Prince." He never mentions Mytho having any other name at all. Even if Mytho hadn't been able to remember it himself, since he is entirely a character made by Drosselmeyer, wouldn't the name have to have been written for him to remember it at all? Though, if not, it opens up the possible for the story's world to have "inner workings" a lot more complex than what Drosselmeyer wrote- It's not like he could have named all the characters, and yet individual people would probably have names within the story. But that's really more of a Wild Mass Guessing subject.

** I don't think the blood has specific effects, so much as it puts you under the Raven's power. He wanted Kraehe as a human agent, so she didn't physically change.

** The impression I received from the series is that everyone is effectively their respective character, or at least acts in such a way as to be indistinguishable. Either way, though, Tutu is Ahiru the human is Ahiru the duck, her wish to protect the Prince granting her the ability that she displays in the story, in the same way the Prince is Mytho. The trick is that they are [[spoiler: not just the [[{{ptitle123ut4ni5x96}} character as written]], but also the person who [[{{ScrewDestiny}} chooses the path they wish]]]], which is what made the acts of the second chapter possible.

** I assumed that because she had been exposed from a young age she had developed a sort of immunity, whereas the town people had a sudden exposure to it, which caused them to change.

* Why her friends forgot her existence at the end? Did everyone forgot what happened?

* Is anyone else bugged by the fact that Mytho is constantly jumping out of windows?
** Not really "bugged", exactly, but fans of the show have noticed it. It's become a RunningGag in the fandom.



* I just have problems swallowing the fact that everyone took Kraehe failing to take Femio's heart completely seriously. ''He's Femio.''
** She was desperate, under pressure from both her father and Mytho (who was constantly mocking her). Not to mention both the Raven and Mytho (under the influence of Raven blood) were constantly saying nobody would love her enough to die for her. She wanted to prove them wrong.
* It bugs me that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG0jMkoKLJo this piece]] from The Nutcracker wasn't used once. It would've been great to use during an emotional scene.
** Seconded all the way! I love that piece.



* I don't care how awesome people think he is, Femio is one of my personal [[TheScrappy Scrappies]]. Extremely arrogant, extremely annoying in every aspect, and contributes in nothing to the main plot. I know he's the main proof that Rue can't be loved by anyone but the Prince or the Raven, but couldn't they have done it with a more ''serious'' character?



* Is it just me, or did the narrative get really...I don't know--sloppy?--in the last few episodes? I mean, the Raven demanding Mythos then-uncomplete heart and then only after Mytho asks Tutu for the last heartshard going, "Oh yeah! I guess I was rushing things! Hey! Give him the heartsheard before dawn, blahblah..." it kind of took out whatever threat the thing had.

** He did. At one point, little Fakir says that the name of the Prince in the story sounded silly. So he says that 'Mythos' (what Charon had said upon realizing that Mytho was indeed a storybook character come to life...) sounded cooler. Mytho himself, newly heartless, had nothing to say other than something along the lines of "sure".

** If the opening narrations are any indication, Drosselmeyer is rather averse to actually naming characters. I doubt Mytho had the lucidity to remember his name when he first appeared to Fakir; it's easily possible that Fakir simply named him.

Added DiffLines:

* Did anyone else find it strange how at the end Mytho reveals [[spoiler:that he had a different name as the prince in the story?]] The only thing that makes any sense seems to be that Fakir gave him that as more of a nickname for some reason that I can't quite pin down. Just because he was young and it sounded better at the time? Fakir had been shown reading the story as a child, and it's a bit hard to believe that the book [[spoiler:would never mention the name of the main character.]] Maybe it was supposed to be dramatic, [[spoiler:the idea being that he can now remember his own name]], but it bugs me to no end.

***** I agree. While it would be tragic, it doesn't seem like the tragedy Drosselmeyer would favor. Or maybe he was just too short-sighted to think of it.

* Was the town actualy a real town trapped in a story? Seems to me it was due to the fake barriers, and the fact that the teacher-cat appeared as a real cat at the end.

** From all of her responses you can tell Princess Tutu ''is'' Ahiru, but maybe a wiser, stronger version--not to mention a version with killer ballet moves.

** Yes, it was a real town, where nobody noticed the weird stuff going on because they were trapped in a kind of alternate reality.


Added DiffLines:

** Well, it's to add to the drama, of course! Aside from that, everyone seemed to have forgotten ''all'' weird things, such as the ballet-dancing animals. Ahiru's existence wasn't really normal to start with.

** Mytho isn't a bad person for not sacrificing a heart shard for Ahiru to be a girl. For one thing, Ahiru isn't "trapped" in her duck form--she ''is'' a duck. It's unnatural for her to be a girl, not the other way around. For another thing, Ahiru wouldn't ''want'' him to give up some of his heart for her--she fought REALLY hard for him to be a complete person again, and if he gave up part of his heart, he'd give up part of himself. It's particularly bad since the heartshard she transforms with is the feeling of Hope...can you imagine being incapable of feeling any hope? He'd be miserable without it.
