Nice episode!
I underestood the passion that Sebastian has from cats. I'm with him! ;)
I prefer this episode than the first. The new characthers from Circus saga appear. I like Doll very much she is beautiful. I like how Sebastian get the Beast's lady (I forget the girls name).
However, funny moments. Amazing episode.

Please note that I haven't yet reached this arc in the manga, so I don't have as much knowledge about this as most people probably do.

The first thing that struck me was that maybe it's just me, but this arc seems to be a lot darker in not only tone, but also colour, shadow, details, etc. I do like it better this way, because I feel as though Kuroshitsuji shouldn't have a very light colour palette, considering the dark theme undertones of this series. Additionally, did anyone talk about why Ciel's hair and eye colour are different in this one? I did read somewhere that it's canon and they're supposed to be like that. It's slightly disconcerting because it was so dark in the other two seasons, but I do think it makes him look older. Not as an old man, per se, but perhaps it could be signifying the bitterness he has, and the fact that he's experienced tragedies and loss far beyond someone of his years should have?

As for other thought snippets, are Peter and Wendy, the trapeze twins, a reference to Peter Pan? Additionally, I thought the scene with Sebastian and the tiger was hilarious! I didn't know that Ciel was allergic to cats; if it was mentioned before in the other anime season, I guess I forgot...The ending animation is really nice and a good contrast to the darkness of the opening. I love the designs of all the circus performers, as well.

A last token of appreciation for Mamoru Miyano ^^ His voice is adorable!


This arc is a lot darker than the previous ones, definitely. (you'll see why haha)
as for the color, idk. I like ciel's hair color, but I generally imagine him with darker eyes, so... it's hard to say if it's canon or not, the mangaka colors them differently.

I never even thought of Peter and Wendy referencing Peter Pan!! but that's a good idea.

they didn't mention it in the previous season ^_^

hopefully that helped~

On one of the sub that I watch, the Undertaker say hakushaku, and it's translated as Lord, wasn't it supposed to be Earl?

Yes, it's supposed to be Earl.

so do you like the Gazette? (I noticed your sig... they're my favorite band.)

I found that part so strange that I rewatched it a second time. I think there should be some mystery behind it and it will be revealed later, because now I think we don't have enough elements.

Didn't realise there was another (the third, if I'm correct?) Kuroshitsuji out. I liked the first one. Especially the ending was superb; one of the best I've ever seen in an anime/manga. The second one was a bit less, but still fairly good (but they made the ending of the former have less impact, alas). Curious how this one will turn out. I've watched the two episodes in a row, and story and character-development seems to be great as ever.

I forgot there was such a high degree of shotacon in that series, though. Or more correct: slightly implied shotacon-esque scenes. But I guess that has its own appeal for some as well, especially to yaoi-loving-shoujo (and others) public. At least they aren't too ecchi about it, like in some other series where they flash boobs in your face every five seconds. (granted, a boy can't flash boobs, though I seem to remember he once dressed up as a girl? ;-))

So, I guess there will be a 'demon' and his youthful master (the white-dressed boy/girl?) in that circus as well? Curious where all the kids went, though, if they aren't dead.

I'm so happy just being able to see my favourite scenes animated. Can't get over Undertaker's liking for jokes and Sebby's love for cats!

During the ep I just thought that Miyano sure comes up in many of the animes I've been watching, wasn't expecting him as Joker at all. Not sure if I like him that much :x We'll see how it goes..

Overall great episode, 5/5.

That was a great episode. I wasn't sure if I would really get into Kuroshitsuji again, but so far this has been exceeding my expectations. All the members of the Circus are certainly interesting, and that Snake character really pops out at me so I'm looking forward to finding out more about him.

Loved that scene with Sebastian and the tiger though. Ha ha

I never commented last episode, but this new pallet is throwing me off. Sebastian's orange-red eyes... :u

Dang. Didn't expect Peter's voice to be so freaking husky LOL
Like literally the moment he opened his cute little mouth I almost fell off my chair.

Joker's voice though is a completely different story. I love it so much.
I recognized it immediately as Yogi's voice from Karneval and I'm completely in awe at how perfect it is * ^ *

I did kind of lose faith in Kuroshitsuji after the disastrous season that we must pretend never happened, but so far
this is doing the series more justice. I mean that unspoken season *cough* had it's hilights and great points but
plot-wise it just kept going downhill and it was all over the place.

I can actually see this one going some where, so I'll keep watching.

I'm curious about what Ciel did to Undertaker, however I'm not sure if I truly want to know about that. I totally want Joker to get serious. His voice would definitely become heavenly.

This was way better than the first episode. Looking forward to episode 3.

This is actually pretty good and I'm really enjoying it so far. The second season of Kuroshitsuji was a rubbish, so I'm glad this is heading towards a decent direction.

Anyway... I have a question about Joker's accent (his voice is awesome btw, great choice of VA). His speech gets translated in a pretty weird manner (for me definitely, since I'm not a native English speaker) and it's pretty obvious his Japanese is really different from the formal one which Sebastian is using. However, I'd like to know how it sounds to a person familiar with Japanese. Is it some kind of accent, or just a weird form of a non-formal Japanese...? I'm just interested, if anyone knows.

I was pretty disappointed because I wanted them to make a real season 3 not an in between season, but I'm really starting to remember why I love this show so much. This season is WAY better than I thought it was going to be. I adore the End Theme, both the music and the video are wonderful. I love how bright and colorful the whole episode are but still keep their dark feel. I'm really enjoying this now and (almost) all my disappointment is gone! <3 <3 <3

Exactly how I felt. I wasn't even planning on watching this season, but I read some good things and decided to at least give it a chance. The first episode was a bit meh, but I really liked this one. I'm glad I started watching, for sure.

Uhm, not sure, but I believe it's some kind of Kansai-ben, I think Ise-ben. Can't say so for sure though.

All in all,it really was beautiful wasn't it? I swear,I can't get enough of that kid. He's so damaged & twisted & still so freaking adorable!

I'm not sure what to think about the ED... I don't ship Sebby/Ciel, so I was growling a touch. Of course, Sebby/Ciel is 1000x more popular than any other ship, and it's what a lot of people like about the show, so I completely understand why there's so much of it...

I'm all for Ciel/Sebastian,but even with slash goggles I didn't think the ED was ship material. I mean,yeah it seems really sweet the way Sebby hugs Ciel,but then he opens his eyes & it's all glow-y & demon-y and all I can think of is how hungry Sebastian is & how much he wants to eat Ciel's soul. THAT,decidedly is not sweet -_-

Well, off to the circus they went ...

Peter and Wendy ... from Peter Pan lol. They did kinda fly. Very apt names lol.

Sebastian went up to the tiger because he loves cats, I forgot that, I thought he was trying to figure them out like Ciel thought lol. When the tiger bit his head I burst out laughing! it's like with the big dog in Gintama lol.

Awww, he made Ciel's allergies act up lol.

Sebastian got an invitation to join, not too surprising after those acrobat skills he performed in front of them lol.

Is the Joker in the dub meant to be Irish? it's a pretty bad accent, I can do better than that lol.

What did Ciel tell the Undertaker? and how did it take so many hours that it went from day till night? lol.

I really love the new OP and ED <3 very nice animation and songs <3

I fangirled so hard and couldn't stop myself from screaming when he's cuddling the tiger. He's so cute. Haaaaalp!

Th-then Sebby touched that lady's leg and raised it like he's looking at her p. Fucksake, Sebby! Stooop.

I'm falling in love with this bastard more. I can't even. Gaaaaaaaaah! I hate him so much. ;-;

Almost forgot: it's really nice to see you again, Undertaker. Haha. I wonder what Ciel did to convince him. Jesus.

Ugh. The quality of the animation and that OP and that ED. LAAAAWD! Amazeballs. :O
