Ah, been waiting for the ep 12 thread

Spoiler for Episode 12:

The episode itself can be considered another character introducing one, this time about Troubadour (voiced by Yama-chan, ech). I don't consider his singing to be any good, and it's a relief that Urd has no interest in him at all.

The next episode stars Skuld, so it seems that Bell's taking a backseat recently.

What was probably the most striking thing about ep 12 was the new ending song. The song Koibito Doushi is a wonderful ballad performed by Jukai, who did the ending for Fate/stay night. I never had that much attachment to any of the previous AMG ending songs (as much as I enjoy hearing Ishida Youko), but this new song is really good.

There is a new ending sequence as well, and it looks like Rind and Hild will play an important role towards the end.

Having the new song air from episode 12 may be indication that TBS will only air 22 of the 24 episodes, although I'm hoping that's not the case.
