Was not excepting that, though it was awesome - yet very, very scary. Like most of Kuroshitsuji really.

I loved Elizabeth's stuffed animal having an eyepatch. xDDDDDD

There is no doubt in my mind. Chapter 33 is my favorite chapter.
Meilin, Bard, Finnian all kicked major ass. Even Tanaka got someone. xD
I love this chapter.

Meilin turns out to be amazing once she takes off her glasses. Woot!
Finni with his crazy strength. xD
Bard when he pulled out that machine gun. 0.0
Good stuff.

Phantomhive Family Servants. (My favorite people now. xD)
Can't wait till June 18th for the next chapter.

I'm glad they were able to stop Joker's minions or whatever from getting anything in the mansion.

This is even better than episode 21 of the anime. The servants' histories, although only hinted in this chapter, seem to be the same as the anime, which makes me think the anime writers had spoken with Yana Toboso about it before making that episode. But damn...just damn.

Wow... just wow! This is no doubt the best chapter so far. Pure awesomeness!!!
Now I understand why they are hired despite their unusual "clumsiness" in doing their normal servant' jobs...
Just one thing, I wonder if Elizabeth can still sleep through the whole thing >.<

Woah woah woah! Who are these new characters that are totally awesome?! Where did our lovable, blundering servants run off to?!

Wicked. Meileen= awesome. She looks good! And Finny is somehow more lovable than ever, all pyscho.

Awesome chapter! Can't wait for June!

Just like Ciel to rather hire competent bodyguards, useless servants than competent servants, useless bodyguards. lol!! I saw the anime series but I have to admit the manga made the servants way much cooler.

A few of the chapters before this were pretty meh but this made up for them several times over. Nothing short of epic, makes the flaws in the characters have some meaning while keeping their quirks. I still reckon Finni is cute despite the whole psychoness.

i was suspecting those servants had other skills for them to be employed by ciel and sebastian, but i wasn't expecting them to be former soldiers!!!
this chapter was truly amazing \o/
though i do feel sad for the circus troupe in a way, but then again they were not exactly innocent.

Wow. That was good.

I just loved when Tanaka was hiding the body from Elizabeth xD (err... hiding? He was standing in... at... damn, no words D:)

Oh, and two things:
Elizabeth was practically ignoring all noise - one question and than going back to sleep isn't really convincing...
And it would be cooler if the "Phantomhive family servants" didn't destroy half of the mansion - I mean, after a few fights the house woudn't look very representative, would it? xD

Cause, I mean - one great maid-sniper, one great cook-soldier, one great psycho gardener AND three great bricklayers? Wouldn't it be too much? xD

Totally great!! the anime is nothing compared to this manga, and this chapter was really great..I never thought it could get that scary...for a moment I found myself thinking that now this has some seinen elements with all the blood..not that I mind either..XD. I like those servants even more, I was always wondering why they were so stupid in their chores..but now we see they are actually pretty qualified for their jobs. :D...
But I liked the circus guys..seriously, I hope the joker doesn't die at least...they were great until we found out they were so coldhearted following orders..maybe that's why they made great villains?
I am looking forward to the next chapters so much!

'Foouuuuuund-- the mice.' Ahaha I love you Finni xD
Ha, well, I liked Finni and Bard even when they were clumsy but Maylene just moved up on my list.
What the hell was that machine gun in the kitchen XDDD
And I have to say, Finni before going psycho = cute. Finni going psycho = secks. (how old is he exactly? Is he legal?...XDDD)

Butbut....NUUUUUU DAGGER Dx I liked him...I hope they don't kill Joker D:

Yep, I was right. This chapter way levels above episode 21 in the anime which showed the same thing, the servants real skills. There are literally a hand-full of cases in which I prefer the manga to the anime, but Kuroshitsuji is definitely one of them. It was quite interesting actually how the writers chose to throw some hints about the pasts of the three characters and not to specifically show them how it was done in the anime.

But now I'm getting the Madam Red feeling again :(. I felt so sad and angry when she died, probably because after her in the anime at least there weren't any more enemies as intriguing as her, but the manga manages to bring forward interesting characters in every chapter. The conflict between Ciel and the circus people was well-developped and there was no doubt in my mind that they had to die, but I can't help but feel a bit sorry for them; they were just some poor unlucky miserable people who tried to live according to the rules of the only person that ever showed them sympathy. Kinda like Madam Red that went umm... crazy!!! because she (thought) she had lost eveyone she had ever loved.

And all these heavy punishments that await 'sinners' really got me thinking. Because let's face it, Ciel ain't no angel O_o. So if this is what other characters have to pay for their mistakes, I wonder how great will Ciel's punishnment for his sins be?...
...or it won't happen 'cause he's the main blue-eyed character and gets special treatment o_O? anyway, I think he is gonna pay and not just his soul to Sebastian, he's gonna pay a lot more for all the other evil things he's done. And not because I say so or believe in that sort of thing but because in my opinion this is the general concept of the story.

I felt really sorry for the circus people when I was reading this chapter D8

Probably because I wasn't bussy being surprised with the servants cause I've seen the anime.

I got emotionally attached to Beast, Dagger, and especially Joker...so I'm sad. Apparently, the fact that they kidnapped children to help Baron Kelvin live out his perverse fantasies doesn't bother me. What a thick skull I have. Still don't care for the servants. It's about aesthetics for me. Toboso's editor(s) have been really helping her out with character names. The newer characters have better names. For example: Mey-rin, Finnian, Baldroy, Azzurro Vanel, Chlaus versus snakes named after literary figures, Baron Kelvin, and all the Noah's Ark Circus characters. I must have a thing against creative spelling and "unique" names that are not made of any words from the dictionary. Mey-rin should've been spelled Marianne, Marion, or Mary Ann(e). Cos she's friggin' British, not Northeast Asian. Finnian's only acceptable because his nickname is Finnie. Baldroy is just wrong. Chlaus looks better as Claus or Klaus. Azzurro Vanel looks like it's trying too hard to combine the words "azure" and "vain." (Ciel and Sebastian have very good names. Especially Ciel. Sebastian's name sadly reminds me both of "The Neverending Story" and "Dangerous Liasons"/"Cruel Intentions"-and therefore John Malkovich and Ryan Phillippe. Malkovich is "as sexy as a snapping turtle" and Phillippe is one of the most vapid actors out there.) Man, I went off on a tangent. I also can't warm up to Finnian due to his character design. F'ug.
