| Such a fitting ending. This adaptation was great, it added just enough to improve the story without changing the tone. I've been saying it since episode 2 but I have so much love for the soundtrack. |
| This was always my favourite arc and remains thus so far. A great adaption and I enjoyed going through the story again. |
| I hope you have a lovely day ♥ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ ) |
| The last scene was so heart-breaking :( |
| Denerwować się to mścić się na własnym zdrowiu za głupotę innych. |
| This is by far one of the most emotional endings that I've seen! This episode was perfect, I mean everything, the animation, the OSTs, the dialogue, everything. I know the ending uet I found myself shedding a tear though I didn't when I read the manga long time ago. Reading a series and watching it are really two different things. |
 |
| all hail the queen !! :( i wish they could do the next season asap btw the endings is nice |

| This really is the best part of Kuroshitsuji - I'm really happy to see it so well adaptated. The end was good. I'm really glad. 8/10 with no regrets. |
 |
| This was great. 10/10 for this season. I'm so glad the circus troupe died, just as they should have. They had it coming after doing all those despicable things. Ciel gave me the creeps. I loved it. He looked more malicious than Sebastian when they faced Doll and Sebby is a demon. *snorts* I don't remember Ciel looking evil in the manga in that scene at all. I remember him looking more tired and resigned. His speech about being human was amazing. It made me shiver in the manga and gave me goosebumps. It did now too. It was fantastic. |
 |
 Shota dagger is uber cute. <3 Ciel is fking evil for killing him and everybody. |
| 10/10...this was my fav arc in the manga and the anime adapted it pretty much perfectly. Completely satisfies :D |
 |
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... I can't stop crying :( |
| Beautifully made adaption. The end gave me chills. The piano play was wonderful and the OST overall was fantastic. I'm sad for the circus crew, because I loved each of them, but as someone previously said, they had it coming. I'm glad my favorite Snake is alive tho'. Poor him being left alone. Undertaker showing his left eye *faints* Now let's roll onto the next arcs, shall we? I'm glad the Manor Murder case is being animated. |
| The last 2 episodes of Book of Circus were astounding. Ciel definitely gave me the chills in the last episode, it was sad to see almost everyone of Noah's Ark Circus get killed, I mean they even killed Doll, in the manga it was bit ambiguous on whether she died or not because Ciel simply just said "Sebastian" but the Heaven sequence in the anime confirms her death with her appearance in it of her transforming from Doll to her real look and joining her adoptive family in the Heavens. I know they committed awful crimes but I rather seem them go to Heaven than Hell. I am of course assuming that there is a Heaven and Hell since Sebastian is a demon. Book of Circus was fantastic and I'm giving it a 10/10, it is the best Kuroshitsuji TV series out of the 3 so far. Next is Book of Murder......oh I can't wait for that. :lol: |
| An overall great anime with a great finale with my only complaint being that it’s only 10 episodes long(if you can even call that a flaw,especially since it might’ve been just the right length). I even re-watched a bit of the 1st season when Book of Circus premiered to re-familiarize myself with the amazing characters Sebastian & Ciel are. I don’t know if I’ll ever get tired of these two. Whenever they have a conversation my attention is 100% directed at them and nothing else. Of course,the fact that the show manages to create such an engaging atmosphere also helps. I was even getting a bit attached to some of the circus members for a while there,namely Joker,Beast & Doll,more than shows with many more episodes at their disposal so can’t say I didn’t feel sorry for them…Farewell Noah’s Ark and R.I.P. And thanks for the wonderful performance! Tempting as it may be,I won’t read the manga now. If A-1 Pictures can make such high quality adaptations,then I’m willing to wait for the next one. Excellent show,9.5/10 from me and I'm glad to see it made it in MAL's top 100. |

WolfChaos said: This season was far better than the 2 previous seasons. The emotions were real. This gets an 8/10 from me and I'm somewhat looking forward to the OVA's. Agree. It's better than previous 2 season. I hope we will be getting a sequel soon. Do they have enough material for it? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Can anyone tell me where the manga picks up from where this left off? Also it seems a bit weird for him to say he couldn't have saved the children. He's loaded with money helping rehab 20-30 children would be easy for him. Just set up a place with them all to stay at with as many specialists as needed prob would be like .05% of his net worth lol. But I guess the show isn't as dramatic if he doesn't roast all the innocent children |
| ^ the anime leaves off at chapter 37. This was a calm episode to end the arc, except Doll getting killed of course :) 9/10 |
 |
| Well at least we got to see the Circus members last performance, that was a better ending than in the manga. |
 |
| A wonderfully faithful and amazingly executed finale. I'm so so so happy that they were so faithful to the manga, and the ending gave me chills. It's definitely an anime ending that stays with you and it was heartbreaking to watch. I might be wrong, but that part with Snake didn't happen in the manga from what I remember? When he said "It's lonely to be alone," my heart absolutely broke, especially since I love Snake. Amazing performances from all the seiyuu too, but especially Maaya-san's performance with the mini crazy breakdown Ciel has at the workhouse. Overall I loved this anime, and I can't wait for Book of Murder. |
| The heck had they done to Doll?! They didn't even had to kill her... |

Nah, there's no any difference at all, I think he was just talking about the performance in the very ending of the episode, it's like the circus members were saying "goodbye ", that wasn't in the manga, I mean this: http://i.imgur.com/ALqrSKb.png That performance made the ending of the anime much "lighter" than the manga. |
|
| 8/10 I hope that Book of Murder will be good as this |
 |
| THIS IS THE BEST END I'VE SEEN SO FAR ! it was so glorious :') Snake saaaaan :( <3 <3 poor thing Oh and those golden words Ciel says at the end. I am more than satisfied by this anime :) Thank you very much ; Toboso, Yana ! :) |
SAO : A World With You :)  |
| As expected of the series, a beautiful and tragic conclusion. How unsettling it was to see Ciel laugh but I did like what Sebastian had to say by the end. And that vision of potential peace for the kids although perhaps that was just wishful thinking. |

I think Noah's Ark members' performance there at the end actually made it even more tragic for me,seeing their carefree smiles and how they, like all humans, sought happiness. They tasted sorrow, followed by some happiness although not one without guilt and finally ended up tasting sorrow again. Their transformation from victims to the ones who victimize(which is a main theme of Kuroshitsuji) was short-lived and that performance with Ciel's hatband reminded me of all that. It really goes to the show's credit how it manages to make one feel so sad about some side characters in the span of just 10 episodes. Albeit definitely not as interesting, I find their story quite a more tragic & hopeless than Ciel's. At the very least,he is in a position of power as one who victimizes and even seems to enjoy himself from time to time. And of course he is because after all, he's the one to decide who's futures he'll rob. One could say that's not true since he's "The Queen's Guard Dog" but he doesn't seem to mind it, or at least not nearly as much as the the circus members did when killing people and kidnapping children for their "father". I definitely don't consider Ciel fortunate or anything because we all know that eventually, he'll pay a greater price than most of his victims but while he's alive, he mostly acts on his own terms and got to chose how he'll meet his end as well. |

 |
| Okay, with consideration, that was honestly really good overall no matter how much I hated season 1 and 2. This show gives off strong FMA vibes. It would have been way better if season 1's canon arcs combined with this. 7/10 Still, I felt as if 10 episodes weren't enough. It could have had more, but alas, still did well. |
| After seeing the previous episode I knew it - the best and the darkest animated arc so far! Bloody, mindfucking, with main character being a total egoist and asshole. Unfair world, where no one is innocent or pure, and the good guys aren't 'good' at all. Absolutely loved it, my favourite arc of the Kuroshitsuji series. Hope this sells well, and we will see more in the future! 9/10 |
  |
| A cute/sad ending. Seriously, Doll, you don't just pull a knife on a kid when his pet demon is right there holding him. And Undertaker makes another appearance. And Snake, poor Snake. I can't wait for the next series. |
| Its like the author likes to torture us, kill them off and show us all these sweet memories T_T.. I was hoping at least Doll would survive D': Wonder whats in store for Snake, I expect he might show up later on..? Also I am happy that Ciel accepted that he was no better than the rest of them. Man..those last few minutes were glorious! Perfect with Sebastian's quote. All in all really awesome arc, one of the best show's this season, if not the best. Can't wait for the OVA and hopefully we'll get a full TV series after. 9/10 |
| Goddamn Undertaker makes me so moist... |

| Well that was fucking depressing and heart wrenching. Though I can't approve of what they did, I do think the circus members were victims more than anythng else. Placed in a situation like that, there isn't much else they could've done if they wanted to keep on living and it's really heart breaking to see that all they (especially Joker) did was essentially for nothing in the end... Really dark and depressing arc but a very good one as well. Not very enjoyable, but good nontheless. |
| This is the best Kuroshitsuji series ever! The ending was sad though. I liked most of the characters in this anime T.T |
 |
| And thus Noah Ark Circus put on a last performance for us in the end T_____________________________T I can't stop crying. Snake is alone in this world TwT |
| This arc was amazing. The entertainment was great and enjoyed this anime a lot. I liked most of the side characters (especially Dagger and Doll), and it's kind of sad how this ended. The story was made well-conceived. Definitely better than the other seasons. |
 |
| This arc was really good, the end was incredibly terrifying, I mean I expect Kuroshitsuji to be serious since it's a "seinen" but these feels are paragonable to FMA's feels, heck, even well executed, glad I watched. We just need more arcs like this, but maybe that will be too much for my poor wounded heart. |
 |
| Pretty impressive ending I must say, but the story is far from over or so it felt but well I sure liked this first season it had the right atmosphere and pacing of a great anime all together with proper story development and characters so all in all a great anime for me! 9/10 Let's see to what extend the sequel will be when it finishes airing! |
 |
| Am I the only one who thought the ending was kind of lame? And what happened to freckles? Kind of unclear. Rest of the series was really good though... 8.5/10 but I'll round up to a 9 for the animation Hope book of murder is decent |
 |
| felt rushed in couple last EPs when everyone got slaughtered imo.. Ciel = ultimate trap (no pedo) good shit overall |
 |
| The ending was great I loved it :) It makes me sad that I have to wait FOREVER to see Book of Murder, 'cause I'm going to be waiting for it along with Attack on Titan season 2. Bright side 100th chapter of the manga is coming out at least :P I need something to stall with! |
| Take me down and I swear that I'll come and haunt you from the afterlife! Same thing goes if you take food from me! |
| for those who know, did this get enough sales for there to be a chance for another season? cheers |
| Even with all the fillers and changes, I really enjoyed this! Still excitedly awaiting Book of Murder... And I've seen some comments saying that we don't see Undertaker's eyes and full locket until later...actually, no, in the manga we see both at exactly that scene. |
