Madam Red's flashback was so depressing, with red being the only splash of color in a whirlwind recollection of her life. Grell? I said out loud to myself, "That was unexpected." It was! The chainsaw, however, made me WTF. Anyways, can't wait for next episode!

Wow, Madam Red's life was quite horrible. I loved the way the flashback was made, on a gray scale and only showing the color red and the impact it made on Madam Red's life.

Also, I'm loving the way this Anime just goes from drama to comedy in a matter of seconds. I've never liked it in any other Anime before but I guess it's just that good.

Well this was one hell of an episode. I was getting a bit bored with this series but this turn of events has made up for it. It was really freaky seeing Greil coming out of the house covered in blood, then his smile becoming vicious like the chainsaw he wields. Ciel's aunt really had it rough, now I can see why she hated prostitutes so much, for taking everything she lost for granted. The comedy is still a bit awkward for me though, but I hope this series keeps the momentum of this episode.

I knew it was Madame Red! In the previous episode she said that anyone could cut out the insides, even her. Also, she said she couldn't have children and the killer was cutting out the uterus. Though, Griel's true identity came as a shock to me.
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Oh, so it was that Grell and M. Red in the end. I didn't saw it coming, but when I saw the scene were she was leaving home and Grell was waiting while being creepy, I knew something wasn't right.

I kinda feel bad for M. Red. What she did was horrible and she even tried to kill her newphew, but she had some bad luck. Everything she loved was dying around her. It's like she was cursed.

Next episode, Sebastian vs creepy Grell.

Huuuh. Everyone is so excited about this anime xD Sadly I have tried to watch it a few times and every single one of them I only got as far as episode 2. Finally, I reached episode 5 and YAY! 'Twas something more to my liking. Drama, drama all the way! Grell's gotta be my favorite character, although not necessarily as personality.

when Madam red was mentioned to be one of the suspects, I had a hunch that she really is the culprit. Anyway Grell is indeed more fitted to be a villain. Looking forward to see their fight

Wow that was interesting. I predict most plot twists in anime, but this one completely surpassed me. Wow didn't even think twice about Madam Red and Grell. Lol reminds me of Professor Quirell from Harry Potter

This series really jarringly switches tones and it is disruptive but when it settles on one for more than a few minutes it really gels into something great.

A pretty crazy episode, this was. Crazy as Madam Red was, her motivation made sense, at least from her twisted point of view.

GREIL, NOOOOOOOOO! WHAT THE HELL! NOOOOOOOO! I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS. HOLY SHIEEEEEET! I FUCKING TRUSTED YOU.

This was a very sad episode. Omfg. This is so unexpected in a lot of ways. I hope Angelina's gonna be revived or something. Oh noo. This episode is too much. Ugh. Ugh. I can't deal with this.

FUCK!

i've never really liked grell that much, he's too over the top for my liking but i do like him as a charcater. he's one of the serie's comic relief and he does his job well. as much i i don't like to admit, he is funny.

i always liked madam red a lot, so i think it's really sad for her to be dead so early in the series. );

And so the actual culprits were Madam Red and her butler. I wonder if the slanted eyes guy is involved as well.

I feel Madam Red’s pain and sorrow. I pity her for ending up being a murderer and getting killed at the end.

Red is truly a terrifying colour.

Angelina was the culprit with her butler Grell, a grim reaper. Angelina truly has a sad backstory. Sad to see her go however she has murdered many other women so maybe her being killed was something she deserved.

Good episode :)

The episode anime quality is going up and the story telling is still very good. It reminds me of the other mysterious story I have seen like Bungo Stray Dogs. I got to look it up to see if it's the same group that produced it.

Ciel's Aunt's backstory was very tragic, and it was sad to see her go. I am happy to see Grelle's true appearance though!

Woah hold on I didn't expect this anime to kill of it's characters bruh. The goofy start of the series had me thinking the other way. Madam Red's death came as a big surprise for me dam!
