Now as for Yogi and Araki-sensei, that totally sent my BL signals tingling. ;)


This is no yaoi, LOL. Still, clearly as a manga reader I can say that the author puts all the guys in the spotlight and leaves the girls in the shadows.
For instance I ship both straight and BL couples here.
In the manga I got HUGE BL vibes not from Nai x Gareki but from

I don't think spoiler is necessary since one of them jumped and just sit on the other this episode :P
I hope they're not going to get any closer than that, because I already started to like this anime. The main characer is a cute animal... I'm not sure either to feel this: >///< or this: -.- ,but lol for most part of this ep <3

The colors are beautiful.
Shame there are only few circus related anime- this is a great source of- (ok right now I'm just geting too much data within my brain) everything.
This is a very very broad subject (in polish there is a better phrase, literally: a river-subject, a subject as long, broad and easy to run/tractable as a river and it's water; you can speak about it forever and never exhaust it). And more about language issues: I wonder if names like Erisyuka, Karoku and Kafka are related to Elizka (a diminutive form of Elisabeth), kruk and kawka.
There is something that makes me feel uncomfortable whenever the Circus council (?) gets a meeting, I'm somewhat afraid this "company" thread might exacerbate the show.

Manga is better. What leaves me extremely sad is that this will have 13 eps, which means that the best arc of all, Aka, Yogi´s arc, wont be animated. A pity, because that´s the time when Karneval became Pandora Hearts the story becomes darker and angsty, which I loved *.*



Go read the manga guys!!!

Yeah, and we probably won't see Gareki in his school uniform too. The anime probably will stop at the midle of the volume 6,

So, I think that the ending will be the result of the dvd's sales. If we get the dvd's to sell well, we will probably get a "open" ending, that means a probably future second season. But if the dvd's wont sell good enough, we will get a filler ending, with no openings for a second season. Well, at least some animes go that way, or others have a second season planned from the start, no matter the the dvd's sales(like Hakkenden).

More backstory is good, but now its time to move forward. I expect to get some answers here about Nai. Maybe Karoku will make an appearance.

Mystery grows deeper as the story progresses and it seems like Nai is actually an animal with unique special abilities which further widens the mystery. Looking forward to how it turns out in the next episode!!!

5/5

Geez they really love beating up Gareki. He's gotten hit at least once or twice in each episode so far .-.

And those animal flashbacks were awesome lol

Looks like the (creatures in the) forest attack(s) "hostile" people but leaves others alone.
The story so far is really random, hopefully things'll clear up soon.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Is the show called Karneval because of Circus?

No matter how cool you are, Gareki, you shouldn't make Nai cry!
Because of that, you got taken away by those "Off-limits!" servants.

So, Nai is actually an animal called a Niji, which can be described as a winged bi-horned fluffy bunny.

Lol at Gareki's reactions toward Nai as a Niji.

Noo, Gareki is captured!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Why does Gareki need to bluush?

I really love how this anime series progress with each episode ~ great developement ! not too fast not too slow ! and all characters are on their place without some pathetic drama like in most new anime series !

also it's going ok with following manga, and I don[t agree with some of you commenting that it's pace too fast since it would be borring if they followed manga at actuall details, anime is more clear which it should be and I love it.

I really enjoyed this episode. and poor Nai *_*

I love Yogi's seiyuu oh my god. His voice acting is A+++.

Karneval is probably my guilty-pleasure anime. Nai is always getting people in danger but I still love him. Parts of the plot/characters need more clarification but to be honest I don't even care. I'm just watching this for fun.
I don't even know why, but I am really, really enjoying this.

It was so cute when Gareki was imagining Nai as the little cute, cuddly and furry creature. I was wondering if their relationship was yaoi but I guess Gareki is more like the big brother to Nai.

Awww, Nai trying to push Gareki away because Karoku told him too, the crying was so sad and sweet!

Awww, he's all sweet and innocent like a cute bunny type creature because he is one! awww. It made me laugh when Gareki imagined talking to the animal version of him LOL!

The cool fighting stuff~ <3

And we found out that Nai is an animal. When Gareki found out, though, he's so cute. Hahaha.

Fuck. Why is Gareki so fucking hot? Ugh. ;-; And Kamiyan being his seiyuu ain't helping. Ohmygod.

Gareki has been taken. Noooooo.

"Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out."

An okay episode. So Nai was actually an animal all along, that explains his behaviour up to now. Gareki and Nai seem to be bonding quite well, a nice bromance is forming. The varuga at the end seemed to be after Gareki, I wonder why.

Highlight: Nai's dream sequence
Ep Score: 3/5

good episode.
somehow i can't stop thinking that there will be a lot of yaoi in this. i know this is shoujo (= a lot of "hot"/cute male characters) but nai's sparkling and gareki's blushing have left me with the impression of a yaoi anime xD
@ZeroAkito This is a Josei. Though technically, Shoujo invented BL and GL. Before there were dedicated magazines for BL and GL series, a lot of BL and GL stories were published in Shoujo magazines.

Nai being an animal explains his co-dependent nature. It also explains his great hearing (animals generally have better hearing than humans).
