Wow, I really liked this episode. Bumped my rating up to an 8, nice job Kuroshitsuji.

Btw, Sebastian started to remind me of Alucard xD.

Muahaha, I loved how they adapted this arc in the anime. The waltzy music playing when Sebastian is throwing the cutlery reminds me so much of Sweeney Todd lmao.

wah~~ I'm loving this anime!!! the soundtrack is brilliant, the art done to a ridiculously high standard - haven't seen a slip up yet (though it seems studios normally draft in more artists from the third ep, so fingers crossed it doesn't deteriorate) And ~taku is it creepy xD

This was a great episode!~
I'm definitely loving Kuroshitsuji :)
Ciel isn't the stubborn spoiled little kid I thought he would be - and Sebastian is a way awesome butler. Lol, worst way to go is getting 'forked' to death~ I also love the other 3 characters - they're too funny ^^



Amazing sig set thanks to -DraGonZ-

Aaahaha no way, the 'doctor's habit' xD Sebastian lost his composure for a moment there, lol.

And I have to say, I love Finion's eyes :) all the male servants are likeable, it's just that what's-her-face I can't stand Dx

...But the cherry on the cake was the MUSIC that played when Romeo (lol) was godmoding with silverware. People were dying and I was laughing because of that music o.o How coldhearted.

But that scene at the end...seems like servants are Ciel/Sebastian supporters XDD

Truly the Butler's way of fighting.
It's nice to see a female "pervert" for comedy relief for once.

I have to say I love the music going on in the background when Sebastian is taking people out with dishes and silverware. So ironic XD


Yeah, me too. The music really got me that time. But then it also emphasizes the fact that no matter what happens, Sebastian's still a butler!

Loved this ep. Love this series the way it's going so far. I'll keep watching it. Anyone know any good torrents for the subbed version of the series?? I have a feeling like I'll want to watch this series more than one time through...

And LOLed when Sebastian told Ciel he did what a butler of the Phantomhive family must never do.

SEBASTIAN, OH MY! BE MY BODY GUARD, DAMNIT! That right eye of Ciel was epic. I don't know what exactly the eye is for but I can tell that it's awesome indeed.

I just loved the looks of Sebastian in this episode. The one when he was chasing the sniper and the other guy in the car was just awesome. He was like a demon chasing those two men, lmao.

Also, it was so awesome when everyone was preparing for Sebastian's arrival with guns and barricades, but next thing you know, he's already inside, lmfao. Plus, when he killed that senor blonde guy, his eyes were just awesome. He's like Alucard, lol.

Now I know Ciel traded his soul to acquire his demon butler but I wonder who gave the contract to him. Also, how'd he know there was a contract in the first place?!

So the butler is a curb stomper. It sounds like the young master sold his soul to a demon, so that he'd have a killer butler? So random... I'm assuming we'll get more details on this later.

I still like the three other servants though - they're hilarious. I liked the whole dilemma with whether or not they should eat the pie. (I was waiting for the comic ending where it shows they gave in and ate it, and then the butler gets pissed and beats them up or something... oh well.)

hm.. i had expected this ep to be darker than it was.. but oh well it was still good! Though they have to explain more about the new characters that appeared all of a sudden in this ep! Also will they ever show the past of Ciel before he made the contract and why did he make it in the first place? I believe this one is coming up.. but I just can't wait to watch it!!
Hope it won't be long! Loved all the action scenes and how Sebastian just stood up after he was shot.. pretty creepy scene! :P hehe

I'm trying to decide if I like Sebastian and the Earl. Sure, they're kinda badass, but they really don't seem to possess any genuine kindness or mercy. Those "hired hands" who tried to snipe Sebastian looked like just some ordinary guys trying to get money, and while they tried to kill him, they really didn't deserve to die...
Also the Earl is just a bratty, cocky kid. He acts all cool and spoiled in every situation I've seen so far. These guys better change, or their behavior better be explained, or else I'm gonna consider them the antagonists. Or they make it clear that they should be considered that way, which would work too. But if they want me to think that they're protagonists, then there's no way I'm buying that.
And I know that Sebastian's a demon or whatever, but I guess this is more of a Hellsing thing than other series. Which is fine, but it means I have to cast aside all emotion and just take in the battles. Which don't get me wrong, they're amazing. I love hellsing for the same reason.

I couldn't exactly enjoy this episode, I had high hopes of it but I didn't like it too much. I felt it predictable and not funny when it was supposed to be. The action was well done but maybe it wasn't my cup of tea.

The art sometimes seemed off, but it wasn't really a big thing.
The only part I felt worth a chuckle was, strangely, the last scene when Maylene and Finnian were ogling Ciel and Sebastian like, well, worshipping fangirls... At least the OST is proving to be a feast to the ears.

I will continue watching, and hoping it catches more my attention. One episode doesn't mean everything.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I loved this^^ Some nice action in this episode and Sebastian is really badass.

So, my guess was right and Sebastian is that crow at the beginning of the first episode. And Ciel sold his soul? Wow, it's wired for a kid to make that kind of contract... Though Ciel is everything but a normal kid. I don't know if I find the fact that he always acts so cocky lovable or annoying.

Sebastian is amazing. I can't wait to get into his back story.
The young master is such a spoiled brat! If he were in the daycare centre I work at I'd send him to sit by the door.

""i'm just...one hell of a butler"
this guy loves his inside jokes doesnt he? lol
also "cool guys dont look at explosions" he did just that.
ats weird, i've always been a main "main" guy in terms of anime characters, but i dont even care what happens to ceil, the more Sebastian scenes there are the better (and his interaction with the 3.5 idiots is cool too)
