| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice detective story we've got here with a fitting soundtrack. To those who read the manga: Clues... Clues everywhere. My thoughts on the episode: - All these rich Victorian people are so gorgeous. I just love their clothes and accessories *-* - What else would be in Sebastian's closet but cats? Haha :D - Finny is still my favourite though, he's so just cute and emotional. - The moment when millions of fangirls cried out in pain: |
| Episode should be out but there is no raw anywhere. Please message me if anyone has a source of watching. Also OP can you tell me if this was only 24 minutes or longer ? |

| "Double Charles" sudden appearance. Queen wanting him to hold party because she was not happy with last arc's result. Ciel and Sabby's French. Murder happens and Ciel is suspicious just because he's alone sleeping. He had to sleep with the author, which was the main target of partying. Sabby's weird action when being attacked, and being killed next day... Tanaka's position is back. Then third person. The author is in charge to investigate because he cannot kill in these 3 cases. The 3 servants' feelings. Is Jeremy guy that appeared at the end Sabby (it's true that his voice sounds like OnoD, though)? Cannot wait for next ep. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| yep, jeremy's seiyuu also onoD. SEBBYYYYYYYY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. his acting is awesome right? |
| That was certainly nice. I somehow had massive Ciel (and Finny) feels while watching it. And i don't really know what else to say but i want to see second part asap XD |

| Just one thing... Did you read the novel "And then there were none" by Agatha Christie? Because Book of Murder is (*cofcof* a copy *cofcof*) like that. |

I wouldn't say that it's a copy of anything but it's true that this arc borrows many ideas from older detective stories. Why Agatha Christie? Poe wrote similar detective stories way before her, so following your logic, Agatha Christie copied him? For example, Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" already had a seemingly impossible murder in a locked room and the resolution is quite similar to that of Book of Murder. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author of the Sherlock Holmes stories) was influenced by Poe; not to mention that Doyle later influenced Agatha Christie as well. In literature we can't really talk about copying but intertextuality. |

Ciel & Sebastian speaking French was hilarious, I couldn't understand a damn thing. It was one of my favorite moments as well, along with Ciel discovering the cats, lol. Those cats are so cute though. I'm have to say, I'm surprised at how faithful this was to the manga, though still a little sad they took some things out, there were other scenes I wanted to see animated. Still, can't wait for part 2. Her_Holiness said: Zaoldyck said: Just one thing... Did you read the novel "And then there were none" by Agatha Christie?

| episode 1 is finally subbed! |
| Nice to see everyone again, especially Sebastian; Love this Arc as well. Looking forward to the Second Half. |
 |
| They said that Sebastian is killed by probably 2 persons,and then they excluded Ciel and Arthur,I mean they were chained together,but that still makes 2 persons,right? :D |
I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway |
| I've been waiting for this for so long! even though i know what happens since I've read the manga it will be fun seeing what people come up for guesses for the mystery. also this arc is the most we see of Tanaka so we can get some character out of him since they always had him as background character that didn't do anything. I do hope they keep making more black butler anime series since they can do 2 more seasons with what's done in the manga |
| Everyone is out there having a social life and I'm here watching anime. |
| Sebastian is probably bored out of his mind in that basement. |
| I read this arc as it was published but I can't remember who the culprit was. Looking forward to the finale. |
| Too bad Sebastian died this early. Anyway I'm curious about the culprit. |

| Cool. This felt like Detective Conan actually, which is why I liked it. Really great to hear so many seiyuu, like Kimura Ryohei and Maeno Tomoaki. Obviously, Sebastian isn't dead. He has some kind of grand plan to solve the mystery. Even Ciel knows, since he whispered something while fake crying. |

TooAwkwardForYou said: WHERE CAN YOU WATCH IT????? PM'd you |
| Why nobody translates it Q_Q |
| God, this reminded me (once more) of how much I fucking love Ciel <3 |
| "Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural "Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |
| Murder cases I love these <3 Sensei is the only one I suspect due to the fact he has a lot sf screen time. Ciel has an interest in him for some reason??? or maybe Charles Grey? Sebastian dead? Nope |

| This was pretty interesting tbh. I was kinda surprised that even Sebastian became a victim in the early going. The mystery fiction felt thrilling with good comedy and suspense overall. Definitely impressed with this first episode and direction. Going to watch second episode later but so far so good! |
 |
| zat french zou... Hahaha... seriously... :D |
| If we didn't know everyone had supernatural powers so they were faking the whole affair, it would have had good suspense. Does anyone else think the author was inspired by Detective Conan? |
 |
| Nice...I love a good old fashioned murder mystery. Tanaka still has moves! |

| This reminded me of Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Sebastian is dead ? I don't think so |
 |
| Their French was god awful... Couldn't even understand even though I speak French ^^" Only got a few words... |
| These Sherlock Holmes references are off the chain. Of course Arthur is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle... which is why he is intrigued by Bartitsu and writes it down excitedly - Bartitsu is Holmes' preferred martial art. And "Jeremy Rathbone" is an amalgamation of Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone, both well known for playing Sherlock Holmes (though he looks like Jeremy Brett more than anything). |
GarLogan78 said: Nice...I love a good old fashioned murder mystery. Tanaka still has moves! Ever since I read that page in the manga, I've been wanting too see in animated, Tanaka seems so underrated, but he can really kick some ass still :D And I absolutely agree with your love for old fashioned murder mysteries :) |
 |
| Sebastian can't really be death right? Nah don't believe it but well this 1 hour episode sure was great, looking forward to see what the second will offer! |
 |
| This episode was sublime! I loved all the details and also the unrolling of the episode. I'm really looking forward for the second one! Utsukushii ~ ヘ。ヘ |
| It's like Umineko again, indeed... Well, only weaker. But still enjoyable. Eh, but that Jeremy's voice is too obvious... They could have at least change his seiyuu, doesn't even suit his elder age. |
  |
| Meilin remind me so hard on Roberta from Black Lagoon. |
 |
| that first part was really good !!! The new characters are just as interesting as the ones in Book of circus were. Well , it's a pity that there are only 2 parts and not a full - series , also the fact that there isn't an opening or an ending ! |
| ''I'm fine with being a beast, I neither want nor need anything to protect. I just want to destroy everything, until the beast stops whining.'' Takasugi Shinsuke |
| lol did he really die and the french they were talking sucks. |
 |
| Good episode and good story. Loved it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I am impressed with the story and the animation quality. This is my first time to see any of the Black Butler anime and it appears to be a good watch. I will have to take a further immersion into the series after finishing up this murder.....9/10 |
 |
| Well that was really awesome! I love a good murder mystery and especially locked room ones!!! I like the new characters including Arthur. I can't believe how much Ciel slapped about Sebastian when he found him dead, that was so mean! All those cats jumping out of Sebastian's closet made me laugh so much! pure Sebastian, he does love the kitty cats, hence my sig on here lol. Of course Sebastian can't be dead otherwise the show and manga would be lol. So it was kinda pointless knowing they can't do that to him really. Well, it's obvious in the dub by the voice alone who Jeremy is! lol. |

| Things that gave me the feels: - How cute is Arthur though? - Sebastian and Ciel slagging off Siemens in French so noone could hear :') - Arthur commenting on how cute Ciel is and Sebastian agreeing - Grey being calm, collected and relatively badass and then turning into the biggest baby and clinging onto Ciel - Tanaka - General Phantomhive servant feels were persistent through the entire episode <3 -Jeremy Rathbone...I recognise those eyes I think... Looking forward to catching up with the rest of the world and watching part 2! |
