Cute episode! But I kinda forgot about it when I saw the preview. o_o I saw Ciel panting hard and they showed Sebastian after it. I practically said "WOAH NOW!" out loud. xD

I still love Tanaka "mini" version~..."Ho..ho..ho"
The "butler in-training" was kinda annoying at some points.
But still, he's the joker...xD

I was expecting Grell to shout out 'ZETSUBOUSHITA'.

Great episode. I laughed so much and the ending was very cute. Episode preview was win.

QFT...


No seriously, it's an awesome anime. Quite a change from the rush of everyday's everyweek's rush like Bleach and Naruto. It's dark at times, and it has that strange presence to it... but allow me to paraphrase:

It's one HELL of an anime.

For some reason, don't you think the two main characters from Kuroshitsuji look like the two main characters from Nabari No Ou? =DD

Ciel is so adorable. lol~ I like Lizzy as well. ^^

Oh hell no, Tamaka xDDD I died.
Grell is so cute, the skulls were full of win (though I'm wondering, why skulls? He doesn't seem like the dark type... then again,maybe it's exactly that xP will see.)
I wanted to slap Elizabeth >.< Seriously.

And...um...what...why...
omg, the preview o.O They made it look so suggestive and I'm SURE that it's nothing like that -.-

Jesus christ, I could hear the yaoi fangirls scream from miles away after this episode. "Stay by my side."

But yeah, Elizabeth needed to die. If somebody destroyed something that precious to me I would beat the crap out of them.

Ciel: YOU BITCH! *raises hand*
Sebastian: *grabs his hand*
Ciel: Huh?
Sebastian: Use your cane, it works better.

Damnit, Ciel and Sebastian looked so cool in this episode. I just loved their hair and eyes. It's well drawn and animated, lol. Aaahh, so awesome.

Okay so, this Elizabeth girl seems to be interesting. She's damn cute aswell, rofl. I loved it when she took the ring and threw it away on the ground. Ciel was raging, but after a few moments, he was like fuck that ring. Didn't know it was all an act though.

Also, in the end, was Sebastian plannign something? The looks in his eyes were just so suspicious, lol. He's a devil butler afterall. Heck that caught me offguard when Sebastian put the ring into Ciel's finger again. Damn Black Magic, lol.

Such a weird episode. o_O The humor was so off the wall, I wasn't sure what to make of it half the time... I did like that we got a better idea for why Ciel is such a stick in the mud though.

I am also rather curious if Sebastian may not be the 100% loyal butler he claims to be - could there be a hidden motive in all this. I hope there will be more to him than just loyal, perfect butler.

The girl was way obnoxious, but it seems that was the point. =/ If she ever comes back hopefully she'll tone down her annoying-level.

I can't believe Elizabeth turned girlified the house and then transform the Finnie, Bardo and Tanaka into pretty girls. I still can't get over Sebastian in a bonnet (and a pink one at that). LOL

Good episode, full with crack-ish humor.

It seems to me they are putting effort in highlighting the tea and desserts that are made...

Poor servants, they have to be dressed up like that, and the pink bonet... Tanaka was really funny. Grell is so suicidal and has some very weird thoughts, and then his singing... LOL.

I can't stand Elizabeth. I usually don't hate characters right away but I can't put up with that bratty girl. And who gave her the right to take other people's things and throw them away like it didn't matter just because they didn't want to put on a freaking ring? And then she cries. Why do rich girls have to be so annoying? I wish Ciel would have slapped her. I was glad when Sebastian gave him the ring again.

And what in the world is happening in that preview? Surely it's nothing as it seems. Fangirls were screaming their lungs out in this episode.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Elizabeth was extremely annoying. Stupid little brat. Stop a little bit and try to understand the things around you before you act! And please get some decorating lessons... *end of the rant*

Ok, nice episode anyway. I loved when Grell was gonna "kill himself" the last time. "Isn't anyone gonna stop me?" Amazing xD

Tanaka finally said words! Even if it was only a little.
Elizabeth was funny. I had thought that they would draw her less cute and more elegant, but Ciel is meant to be the beautiful one, I suppose.
What was with Sebastian's little laugh after he left Ciel's room at the end there?
Also, I wonder if he'll catch Jack the Ripper...

So unfortunately Grell's only redeeming quality as a butler is his operatic voice? LOL

Elizabeth. = The very personification of annoying.
I usually LOVE characters like Elizabeth, but she just annoys me. Period.

Well, alright episode. I just don't like the whole plot of this series SO FAR, but I'll see as it goes on. I've heard it's very promising but I can't say that I'm too much into it so far.

4/5 - I felt the introduction of characters was too sudden. Can't enjoy their jokes when I've only known them for a few minutes..

I thought Grell was actually a girl for a while, until he started singing.. Elizabeth is annoying. Seemed like this episode had a lot of 'fanservice' in too, and not much happened.

The scene with the ring made me so incredibly mad. Even if it wasn't an important object to Ciel, you can't just throw it like that. I'm starting to dislike Elizabeth terribly.

That girl was annoying. He still acted through it.

NOt a lot happened in that episode. Still, we know how his parents died.

Episode 1 was like "eh okay", episode 2 "cool action" and then episode 3 "annoying loli and tons of shounen ai undertones". :|

So many mixed feelings lolol. I will stick through with it.

Aheh. Funny. 3/5. I realize it was a setup but still. Felt less interesting that the other eps.

That was a really great episode, so funny and super kawaii. Elizabeth was funny and cute.

I'm glad she got upset when she was told the ring meant a lot to Ciel though. It's cute that they are betrothed! They make an adorable couple!! <3

I'm glad Ciel decided to forgive her for the ring though even though he nearly slapped her.

At least Sebastian magically fixed the ring for Ciel in the end and it was cute Ciel wanted him to stay with him until he fell asleep! awwww <3

How did dude become normal then go back to chibi? he's so weiirrrddddddddd~

Plus the one who kept trying to kill himself was really funny!!!

At first I thought Elizabeth was going to be his sister or cousin but... fiancee!! Didn't see that coming.

I agree with Sebastian, all guys should learn how to dance :)
