LOVE LOVE the animation. SO fluid!

Got to say, don't like the story that much. Really doesn't hook me on. I hope it'll get better.

I don't like Ciel that much.. I like his butler better xDD. Sebastian's soo amazing. I wish I was all cool and could throw plates like that :D

4/5 - Not into the story yet so I can give no greater :(
Favorite Quote of Kuroshitsuji (So far!) - "I'm just one hell of a butler." - LOVE THIS. :3

I was wincing and cheering when Sebastian was throwing forks and knives at those guys ("WOLVERINE!!") and flipped out when he got back up. The way he was all curvy and stuff, standing back up... Shudders up and down my spine; it gave me the hiccups!

The ED makes me grin, too. I'm ali-i-ive! Na-na-naaa~

I really like where this is going. Sebastian is completely amazing and anyone who doesn't want him as his/her butler is clearly insane. I've seen that a lot of people are starting to dislike Ciel, which is completely opposite to what I'm feeling because I'm starting to like him a lot. I mean, he's a kid and a millionaire, of course he's not going to be humble.

Also, "I'm just... one hell of a butler". Best.

I like at the end you think Sebastian is apologizing because of the whole incident that just went down..

Nawh, dinner is late.

Yes, that was quite... unpredictable :)

As for the servants trying to catch a mouse - that's absolutely hilarious

I think my favorite part of this ep was the scene with the car on the edge of the cliff, when Sebastian considerately handed the phone back before letting those poor guys plummet to their deaths. He is so deliciously evil!

I'm starting to see why this is a shounen anime... But it's still filled with bishies and pretty clothing and houses. The best art I have seen in a long time. Sebastian is so cool!

Ah, finally. I was starting to think that he was a friendly demon that doesn't kill people. I'm glad that I was wrong.

But still, the fact that there is no main plot still bother me. I want to see some devellopement or understand why he have demon butler in first place.

Significantly better than the first episode. This anime does action, music and atmosphere really well. Felt like Baccano for most of this ep.

Might kinda be more for girls... but gotta love the humor and action in contrast to some of the 'only' intense anime's out there. KuroShitsuji actually switches between the two well.

Awesome episode!

Sebastian is so badass, killing people with forks and plates lol.

Also the bit before when he nearly got shot but rescued the maid and the food LOL!

This show is pretty damn hilarious.

So Sebastian is a demon who has a contract with young Ciel which gave him a strange eye and something else I'd say in return for his soul. Interesting indeed.

I can't wait to see what happens next!!!! <333333

Lots of Haji vibes from Blood+ but more charismatic, still waiting for some underlying plot.

Sebastian operating as a one-man hit squad gave me a wicked grin. I can only hope there are at least some limitations to what can do, otherwise the series might lose its dramatic stakes.

There is something interesting to me about Ciel, too. He is weak, but he has a razor-sharp tongue. It would make sense if he were established as a genius strategist later, so far it's only implied, I think. That is, he has to be smart if he has been able to lead Phantomhive at such a young age. Plus, he's smug and he has a black eye patch.

I think these two form a really solid duo, they complement each other in so many ways.

This episode was a lot better than the first one. Not really a fan of the "comedic" scenes, but the badass butler makes up for it.

Such a badass episode. My baby Sebastian's slaying throughout.

I've seen Earl's other face. Yaaaas! Hahaha. I'm cryiing. Her aunt's so funny, and the other servants, too, made this episode so funny. Ugh. Love them four sooooo much! <3

Meirin is the epitome of Sebastian's fangirls. I know it. Because I'm her. Hahahaha!

If I didn't spoil myself about Sebastian's true identity, I swear I might screamed so loud when he said he's a demon.

Not feeling these first two episodes. 5/10 overall

Ciel may be intelligent, and may have an indestructible vampire Butler, but he's boring and arrogant.

Butler guy is too OP, too easily solves every problem. It's obnoxious. What hardships are these two characters actually going to face, another immortal zombie Butler?

I'll give this a few more episodes just in case it turns around.

I do not think the three/four comic relief characters work with the otherwise dark theme. They're way too incompetent, with their incompetence itself being supposedly "fun".

They do not balance out the dark theme, they just feel too on the nose - Mey-Rin in particular. It also makes no sense for a super pro butler like Sebastian to hire them; they're walking-talking comic relief caricatures, nothing more, and I think they ruin the plot...

I love how the majority of the people working at the Phantomhive household are mostly struggling to get one task done and Sebastian has to take matters into his own hands.

Sebastian is so hot like he's simply perfect. He can defeat people easily and anything he does is incredible and cannot die.

I enjoyed this episode thoroughly, this showed us a bit of Sebastian's powers and more of the relationship between him and the master. When the plates and fork scene came up I was laughing because the other housekeepers and cooks didn't have any silverware. Sebastian really is one hell of a butler.
