----------------------------------------
Such a cute episode~

I like how they put a hint to the next arc at the beginning of the episode. Continuity is a beautiful thing.

Elizabeth sounds as annoying as I thought she would. She's cute and she's a kid, but I just can't like her. The dance part was really, really cute though.

This episode also shows more about Sebastian's and Ciel's relationship. It's one of those times I'm not sure if Sebastian takes care of Ciel because he has to, or if there's something resembling care for him.

Also, omg! Tanaka-san appeared like a normal human for once! XD When he turned into a chibi again, it was so funny~ And gothic lolita Grell! Haha!

Next week's preview is going to make a lot of fangirls happy - including myself. It's great to see an studio being so faithful to its source - not 100% faithful to the point of being a carbon copy, but faithful enough not to change anything major and end up disappointing the fans. I'm still bitter about Nabari, what can I say.

Oh wow, this episode made my day. I was worried that they wouldn't include Elizabeth after they skipped her chapter before, but I'm glad they got around to it. A-1 Pictures is doing a great job on adapting Kuroshitsuji so far.

GRELL, MY GOD. <3 He's getting so much screentime, and that's a good thing. He made me laugh so much this episode, especially when he started singing in that dress. Tanaka too, I definitely wasn't expecting him to deflate, of all things.

I don't mind Elizabeth's personality. I would have hated her if she hadn't been sad about destroying Ciel's ring, but the fact that she did shows that she's not just some selfish rich brat. Her voice is typical loli(Yukari Tamura~), but after watching so much anime, the high pitch doesn't affect me anymore, hahah.

And the preview-- oh my. I was wondering how the animators would adapt that scene, but it looks like they're not skimping out. I look forward to it. :D

I was wondering if they would keep *that scene* in, but I guess they will. I'm not much of a fangirl so I can't say I'm happy, but whatever, it turns out to be funny XD

You're right, Grell is getting a lot of screentime. I guess that makes sense, considering the future...

But I love Sebastian's closing moments in this episode; I think it's really what I like about this series - it has a lot of subtlety.

I also though it was also some sort of reference to Zetsubo Sensei.

Hahaha, I didn't even note that until you mentioned it, which I'm suprised about. I feel kind of bad I didn't.

The episode was amusing, the various(okay, same) looks on Ciel's face were astounding, I rather enjoyed the scene where they first ran into eachother... I need a gif of the glomp and their faces. Oh yeah, I said it. Bet you haven't heard that since 2003.

You might just be reading a little too far into that :P Sebastian is one hell of a butler after all.

watched episode 3 and it was good, it deserves a rating of 4 out of 5!, it wasnt as good as last episode but it was still pretty funny.
the funniest parts were when that other butler (forgot his name xD) every time he made a mistake he always tried to attempt suicide LMFAO!!! lol that was just a hilarious part, and it was also funny when he started singing all good out of no where xD lol
the sad part was when Lizzy broke Ciel's ring but im happy Sebastian some how fixed the ring and got it back for Ciel.
i thought that Lizzy was so KAWAIIIII and she was hilarious because she tried to make everything look cute and it was hilarious when she put that pink thing on Sebastian head xD lol, i hope to see more of Lizzy.

i didnt really think that i would like this anime this much, i am bringing this animes overall score up from a 7 up to an 8 because episode 2 and 3 were just hilarious especially episode 2 xD
well ill give it an 8 or now but the score could go up or down still since its only the first 3 episodes of the anime so far but i hope that it will still get better because after watching the first 3 episode i have high expectations for the rest of this series!

I detest Elizabeth for what she did to Ciel's ring, carelessly. I would've scolded her out my house, immediately. =/

However, I'm liking the series up to now. It's comical and proves to be good.

Awsome, awsome, awsome. This is really my type of series. And what can I say? It lives up to my expectations. I love the intelligent humour, the art, the characters, the pace...everything

Ahah sebastian wearing pink x) And so knew he would retrieve the ring perfect
Ciel is just adorable, wherther being all proud and cold whether showing his honest afraid and child-like side.
Lizzy is... annyoing. In a cute way, yes, but still annoying. Lol @ what she did to the house

They hinted the next arc in a nice easy way. Ahhh the wonders of good anime.
Lovely OST btw, I totally fell in love with it

This is probably the show I look forward to the most.

Also what's up with the next episode preview? They're messing with my mind! I wanted to say "poor Sebastian" (because of the kawaii frilly hat) but I ended up typing "porn Sebastian". Haha, I wonder why XD

Just an okay episode, Grell was most interesting. I got annoyed by Elizabeth...I thought (hoped) that Ciel would order Sebastian to kill her after she threw the ring to the floor...too bad it didn't happen, I already hate her personality xD

I'm pissed off at Lizzy too. I wonder how did Ciel agree to such a moron fiance. I sure hope she will not be making any appearance anymore. I want to crack her head open when she threw that ring.

Real Tanaka makes me laughed but so hard as the preview *fangirl squeals* XD

This ep was somewhat of a more comedy than then scary, so it's sorta of a filler?
I hope Ceil doesn't end up with Elizabeth, even though I like her. (reminds me of Misa from Death Note)
Sebastian in the bonnet was funny, when everyone was silently laughing at him, but then they shut up. xD

Haha,I was just about to state that this show reminded me of Hellsing but.... that crossdressing party appeared O_O And Elizabeth is officially the new,younger, but just as annoying version of Amane Misa.

Btw,casting Fukuyama Jun as the seiyuu for the clumsy suicidal butler is pure genius ^___^ He reminds me so much of Watanuki (xxxHolic) for some inexplicable reason.

ah wow, this show just keeps getting better and better! :3 Loved Ciel through this one - he seems more human now and damn is he loveable xDD~~ and I didn't hate Elizabeth, which surprised me xD And Grell XD comedy gold! I love the way things just keep appearing in this anime (first a knife, then suddenly all the trees are skull topiaries (someone should have noticed that for sure xD) and then a noose handily placed by a step ladder xD) and yes - didn't miss the Zetsubou-ness either :D

but yesh, preview? :/ looks interesting... to say the least x3
