A while back someone said the ice sculpture episode was supposed to replace the curry contest (which never made sense to me) so I was really happy to see this.
Kinda feels like they're abandoning the circus arc though... >:

I liked that this contest seemed to be a parody of Yakitate!! Japan, but the the queen seemed almost loli-ish, an more of the princes' whininess brought the episode down.

Best Part: Lau's eyes. I had a "wait, wft?!" moment there.

Glad the Curry Arc is over though. I do love Soma and Agni, but I just really want the Circus Arc. I really hope that they don't cut it out.

And am I the only one who kept laughing at the whole "Soma-sama" thing? Say it out loud, you might laugh too. ^_^'

Right there with you on both counts.

Am I alone in feeling that the new ending sequence is completely ominous and somewhat scary? Damn I need to read the manga...

Not at all, I love the new ED, animation and all, but it is pretty creepy, Ciel looks too...not alive for my tastes. ;-;
If you get a chance read the manga, it's just as good as the anime. :3

Am I the only one who thinks that the person who escorted the queen is really, really attractive? xD And he mentioned not having to "get on stage" which means he's capable of something?

Lau's eyes = awesome foreshadowing. I don't know what it is trying to tell us but I'm sure it'll by awesome.

And they also left out the ending from the manga where Lau did something, too. Gah, cutting Lau out this much doesn't make him seem as great as he really is! I really wanted to see that part animated too!

But the preview seems as though they won't be jumping into the Circus Arc anytime soon? Maybe at all?

Gah, the curry taste-testing had me half expecting Kuro-yan to pop out of nowhere and have one of his overly-dramatized reactions. The other judges seemed to make up for his absence though.

...they are changing the manga story line, or rather rewriting another story for the anime. I am semi-reading the manga too...damn, shouldn't have read the manga since now I'm comparing them and find the anime storyline a bit less to be desired for.

Hahhah, when they cut the bread and the light shone out, yes, I did think of Yakitate Japan!

wow~ magical curry pan ^w^ tabetai~~! though one of my favourite moments was where the apparently french chef who put the evil spice in his curry is complaining that the best curries come from france when he just gets punched in the face by Agni xD for some reason, this creased me ^^

though to be honest I'm a little glad the whole Indian prince + curry arc is ending - it just isn't quite creepy enough to be Kuroshitusji..

The ivory-hair and violet-eyes combo always looks good, IMHO. Note that at least one other supernatural character in this series has it.

My guess is that the guy with the Queen is her sorcerous champion and head bodyguard.



I *love* the new ending song but it would go better with a purely dramatic show. This show has a lot of fan service and laughs and it's fun to watch, but it doesn't scare me at all.


Magic curry and monsters with battle auras reminded me of Sailor Moon, somehow. I was waiting for the Indian girl Mina to scream something like "Pineapple Curry Blast Beam" and for Sebastian to reply, "In the name of Hell's Moon, I'll punish you! I fight for demonic love and demonic justice!"

After reading the manga, the anime seems a bit unfantastic and pales in comparison. I wish I didn't read the manga now for the fact that I think I'd have enjoyed this episode much more.

The animation was pretty as always, and the curry looked delicious. I LOVED the judges reactions to things.

But all in all, I found the possession part to be a bit silly, and an unnessisary additive to the episode.

All in all... the anime is good. But nothing compaired to the manga.

Lol! Right on, that's kinda what I was thinking myself.

The episode was so-so for me. Fun, but a little pointless. I too like Agni and the Prince... although, what the heck was up with Agni randomly crying bloody tears half the time? Seriously. That was weird; the fact that no on commented on it was even more bizarre.

Also, is it bugging the heck outta anyone else that the Count is now just this flamboyant funny guy who shows up randomly? I mean, he was selling off human body parts for crying out loud! That's pretty twisted, but now it's like, "Oh! Whatever, it's all in good fun. Ha! Ha!" I wish the show would just decide whether it wants to be completely off the wall goofy or serious and stick with one.

Oh, and as for the Queen's bodyguard butler dude, he looks like the love child of Sebastian and Angela. Look at his eyes and face (Sebastian), then look at his eye color and hair (Angela). Yeah... I wonder if that was intentional or if the animators just got lazy and wanted to reuse what they already had to draw anyway.

Whoa, Queen's sidekick person looks just like a male version of Angela o.O Haha, or maybe that's just me.

And OMG, Lau opened his eyes *__*

Mina tripping on a lobster was...unexpected. And, Soma's face XDD Soma is adorable, as was the Ciel/Soma hug XDD Sebastian's face when he was called a friend...d'aww. -sniff-

Maybe we're supposed to believe that it's normal for Indian people to cry blood? That's the only thing that makes any "sense" to me. I wonder if the same thing happens in the manga....hmmmm

WHAT THE FUCK? SEBASTIAN'S CURRY BREAD TAMED THE EVIL SPICE OF ANGELINA, LMFAO THAT WAS SO CHEESY. AHAHAHA MADE ME LAUGH. Also, te Queen's servant indeed looked like a white Sebastian. Very interesting.

Anyways, it was a good episode. I am wondering how that Queen's gray-haired servant knew what she was going to say. It looked like she wasn't taking but her servant already knew what to say, lmao.

Also, it wasn't suprising to see Sebastian win. He never loses. :( Plus, in the ending, I loved how Sebastian and Agni worked together to beat those zombies. Also, Sebastian looked like he was touched when Agni called him a friend. Don't tell me a demon also has emotions!?

Okay okay okay.. all that was funny and I really enjoyed it! But won't they EVER show wtf happened to Ciel?!?!?! And someone please tell me why on Earth won't he try to find those who did harm to him and harm them back?! I mean that has to be the reason he came back, right?! What's with all the random stuff going on?!?!? Why wasting time on all this stuff?! Doesn't he wanna KNOW the truth!? that really really really buggs me sooo freakin much! Other than that it is okay... If I knew this anime was going to be longer..like 50 episodes.. then all these arcs would be fine, but now why oh why don't they get to the main plot already?! or isn't there any?! O.o if that's the case... the description on MAL about this should srsly change or sth...

I don’t think I can take Kuroshitsuji seriously after this episode. This wasn’t good. I don’t think this episode can even redeem itself.

It was pointless. The Count is a funny random guy from now on? Nobody does anything about him selling human parts in the black market? Don’t tell me they all forgot about something like that.
And Agni was crying blood for what reason…? Nobody cares neither, apparently.
The possession scene was lame. It was just so implausible… Apart from the few people who were fighting, everyone stood there like nothing was happening. Please, they should know by now, if you’re going to do something akin to a zombie attack or whatever it was, do it properly; not an evil curry excuse. The cure was throwing the curry pan to their mouths. Incredible. And the name is too, curry pan, how creative.

Kuroshitsuji should settle for a sole theme; a dark genre, with a serious plot development, or a funny (which is in fact not-so-funny) approach like it’s been having. I don’t like how they are making what could be a supernatural, mystery and fantasy-driven shounen, to an anime with only a tinge of that characteristics and where the rest is purely unnecessary comedy that doesn’t take anything seriously, not even something that is referred to murders. It bothers me to no end.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.
