If I recall correctly, during the scene when Ciel was getting new clothes Sebastian had to cover the mark from the tailor. It was a hilarious moment watching Sebby having to move out of her way while keeping that mark hidden.

It's been a long time since I've read the manga (must re-read...), but that would be an interesting scene to see animated. In which ark this happened?

LOL. Adellaaeda I think I see you can. I see a nice space between L and Loveless, and there is some space between Grell and Yoite.

Yeah, I CAN push them closer one to another (*cough, don't mind me*), (worst case scenario, I just remove Recent Anime List... it doesn't refresh fast enough anyway) but I can't find a nice, suitable, similar in style, transparent image of Snake, with at least one snake on him. After all, he's a fairly new character in the anime world. Must wait. Patiently. But the moment the internet gets a hold of him, HE'S MINE! *evil_laughter*

wow! I didn't expect freckles to be Doll! I mean he's too eager to take a bath with Ciel in the previous episode. Totally did not expect him to be a girl.

Anyway here's what I think: The father they're talking about is that old "philanthropist" in the picture. And why would they need kids? To suck the youth out of them of course. Like what Madonna does. Those first stringers are doing these crimes so that their father would survive. They were all orphans and they owe their life to that guy that's why it makes sense. I'm probably wrong though. I wish I am

I thought the messages between Ciel and Sebby looked more like they were drawing characters (Japanese?) on each other's hands, rather than morse code... Although it's been a while since I read the manga so I could be wrong

I honestly didn't think that Book of Circus would be very different from the arcs in the second season, but so far I find that it's a much darker story with some more frightening undertones. The animation is much better this time around.

The first question is, what dialect is Joker speaking? I think it was mentioned before, but I don't remember the name. Is it something that his seiyuu Mamoru Miyano had to learn, or was it something that he knows already? It sounds pretty different from conventional Japanese, and I can say that in English it's pretty difficult to accurately portray an accent through and through.

I noticed that Sebastian is more apt to take his own actions. He's more manipulative in this arc, not blindly following Ciel's commands, but instead using him as a chess piece, manipulating his words and making a game out of being a butler. It really helps remind the watchers that he is a demon whose only goal is to eat Ciel's soul, a fact which can often be pushed into the background during the other seasons of this anime, because we lose track of his more sinister side.

Though I'd heard it mentioned before, it was still a surprise when we learned that Ciel has asthma, and can use Morse code. I was wondering why he never seemed to suffer from it in the first and second seasons when it would've played a big role in his actions, especially when he fights Alois or has to deal with the more dramatic scenes. I guess this does show that he isn't all-powerful and even his butler, who seems to be able to solve any problem, can't help him with his asthma.

So far, a compelling story! In terms of action, it's a bit slow, but I like where this is going and the episodes give just the right amount of information.


I advice you to forget all of season 2 & half of season 1 of Kuroshitsuji. However, the first season didn't portray the characters well either. Anyway, Alois, Claude, Angela/Ash & Pluto is not canon, so they won't appear in this season. I'm grateful!

Soo... Freckles is a girl? O.o how was she planning to take a bath with all those men earlier... And why does she pretend to be a boy if she just wants a roommate?

Look at the time period. This is Victorian England. Most of the 2nd tier circus members were men if not all of them. Same thing for alot of things back in that day. As for the bath part, you're on your own there.

Sebastian and William doing that trapeze lol. William's all like "I'm not touching you, demon" lol then Sebastian just grabbed his scythe which he really shouldn't have had up there, he could've dropped it and accidentally impaled someone.

Ciel's roommate is Doll! I didn't see that coming. She saved him from the snake.

William won't let Sebastian do anything.

Ciel has asthma, awww! poor him, that attack was bad!

I also wonder if they were found out because of that letter about Ciel.

So I was interested in how Ciel and Sebastian were communicating with their hands in the last scene. It didn't seem like Morse Code, I was thinking maybe some other form of tap code?

Nice one, I love the voices for the knife throwing boy and joker. Also the opening is 10/10 but I knew that already before I even watched black butler and also, the ending song is amazing as well.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
