Ah, Mikael, Mikael, Mikael-- he must have been such a fun character to voice! I mean cool & mysterious, cute & flustered, evil & insane; he goes through all the paces! And somehow he managed to take over my collection from my beloved Endy-poo as the character I have the most cels of! Oi, how'dja manage to do that, Mika, without my noticing? (I'll tell you how he managed to do it-- he and Raphael are my favorite characters from my very favorite anime and he's tons cheaper then Raph!)

*all sparkly-eyed* Kael-sama is not cheap! Kael-sama is nice and sweet and intelligent--

And cheap...

Sara! Raphael-sama!

Uh, hello, Sara. We'll get around to your section eventually. And anyway, shouldn't you all be working on the Tenshi ni Narumon shrine?

And witty and charming and--

*carefully zero-ing in on a close-up with the camera* And Kael-san has a thing for red-heads who can turn invisible... or is that the other way around?

I'm Mikael... And you're still a kid! How did you get so perverted?

*grinning brightly* Plenty of practice!

Hmm, I could dye my hair red... in fact, I think I have some pink hair dye left over from Otakon... The invisible part may be a problem...

And well-mannered and hardworking and cute...

Yes! *throws arms around Mika's neck* Isn't he the kawaii-est when he's flustered?

*face beginning to rival the shade of Sara's hair* RAPHAEL-SAMA!

Yes! Umm, I was saying-- uh, what was I saying again?

You were saying how cute Mikael is when he's being teased...

Yes, I-- wait, that's not it!

And Kael-sama has great presence...

You were explaining how you ended up with so many Kael-san cels.

I'm Mikael!

Ah yes, thank you, Ruka. Since Mika cels are so much cheaper and easier to find then Raph (doesn't mean they're all that easy to find in and of themselves, but compared to Raphael... ) I managed to amass a rather nice collection once I set my mind to it. I'm quite pleased with the latter cels of Mikael I've found, but I'm still on the lookout for early cels of him in his summer uniform. (Especially when he's leaning against the tree holding the Book of Chaos, as Noelle first meets him.)

Mikael is apparently supposed to be a mentor to Noelle, as Raphael was once a mentor to him. However he's so enigmatic in the beginning of the series that he makes Raphael look like the most candid person in the world! (And can anyone please explain to me what the heck he's babbling about when the Book of Chaos is being filled?)

Now that is one of the great mysteries of Tenshi ni Narumon! *laughs*

Hey!

Sorry about that Kael.

I'm Mikael!

Hey, Mikael, at least I get your name right!

And powerful and kind...

Aww, c'mon guys, the least you can do is have a catfight for the camera!

*eyetwitch*

Thankfully the puzzles surrounding Mika are revealed as the plot unfolds-- but I'll get into the more nitty gritty details on the individual pages for the cels. And, oh, it seems that Kael = frog in Japanese, so Mika is kinda sensitive about that. Raphael, however, doesn't seem to mind being called 'growing out' = hael. What exactly is growing...

*opens mouth*

*clamping hand over Raphael's mouth* Let's not even go there.

Eh heh, and just comparing the below screengrabs you can see what havoc my scanner was doing with Mikael's complexion! (Not to mention the other colors!) The first two naked Mika cels are more indicative of what his skin tone should look like-- Raphael is the one with the good tan in that relationship!

And my scanner just abhors the color blue-green. It won't show that color to save it from being hurled out my window in a fit of range... umm, so you can well imagine how fun it was scanning in this section of my cel collection! Mikael & Michiru were nearly the death of me! (And my scanner!)

Ah, yes, well, we'll just leave the Tenshi characters to their work-- work, right? Working on the Tenshi shrine, remember? *gives characters the evil eye as they continue to ignore her*

Hmph... Well, here's my small but growing-the-fastest-of-all collection of Kae-- err Mikael cels!
