----------------------------------------
Watched the raw and I loved it... and that's without being able to understand half of what was being said! :P Please let the sub be out soon.

OP and ED are both good songs, but I think I might just prefer the visuals for the ED.. chibi Sebastian ftw!!!! Actually I think Tanaka takes that crown XD

The horror aspect was nicely done, especially the use of music, and tbh I really thought that guy had been roasted :S

And I thought I couldn't love Maaya Sakamoto and Daisuke Ono more. They were absolutely wonderful as Sebastian and Ciel.

The atmosphere of the anime, the beautiful animation, the fitting soundtrack. I'm still mesmerized by the OP - not the song itself, although it is quite fitting and nice, but the animation is simply wonderful.

This was amazingly done, although there were definite changes from its manga counterpart. Proof that original content is not always a bad thing, right? ^_~

Next episode is the coolest part from the beginning of the manga. Is it next week yet?

It seems like a strange mix between Ouran High School Host Club and Hellsing.

You know it's a good show when you don't spek a word of Japanese but could still enjoy the raw. Other shows...I will have to wait for the subbed version for the rest.

People have been making Yaoi doujin's for this for a year already. Thank god I didn't notice any with Ciel.

This episode is pure win.

I watched the RAW. I could understand most of it, and since it follows most of the manga's storyline anyway, I knew what was happening. They shortened a lot of the funny/interesting bits though :/

It seems that they knocked the boy's love factor up a notch for the anime (or tried to), though, especially in the opening @_@ I could hear this from the opening theme: "ai no katachi wo sagasu [I search for the shape of love]"... The manga was a lot less suggestive...

Chibi Sebastian is absolutely adorable. And Ono Daisuke is always awesome, period.

Yaoi fangirls are all over any kind of series. Don't you mean that yaoi fangirls will be all over this more than usual?

As much as I want to watch the RAW, I'll wait until the subtitled ver. is out. All this positive feedback is tantalizing.

HERE! h**p://www.shinsen-subs.org/

NOW GO AND WATCH AND COMMENT AGAIN SO WE CAN DISCUSS ALL!

I for one after seeing the subs am happy that the guy at the end got lost and dies. Lying to borrow money that he would never give back! I got to say stealing is ok since he is rich BUT lying before doing that is just plain dirty!

Screw him he deserved it but I WONDER about #2.

:D This one might be fun!
I was given the impression it would be a BL series when I first read a summary about it, so I was thinking of not watching it... Glad i did though!
I love the ED song o_O i was surprised when the vocals started XD

All the characters are adorable >0< The maid made (lol) me laugh.

The first episode was deliciously evil, muahahahaha. Im loving Sebastian, he is an interesting character. Im looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
Shinsen-subs did a fantastic job with subbing.

That was quite boring and predictable as well. Doesn't look like a show I'll be enjoying this season. The ED is pretty nice though.

I'd have to agree with cyruz. It was in fact boring and predictable. I had very high expectations for this show since this is one that I have chosen as a comeback to anime watching. >.>

I found the side characters to be amusing, but ok at best. The only interesting character is Sebastien, and the his young master. Although mainly because I can't stand the guy and am interested in knowing how this would pan out.

I'd continue to watch this just because I don't like leaving things unfinished. (Not trying to quote the lead character)

It was certainly intersesting. Never read the manga so I kinda watched it without knowing what is it about other than the those summaries which did not give any justitce to the anime. hmmm...reminds me a bit of count cain actually. must be due to the period it was set in and a competent butler! must not forget the slight creepy factor!!

This was pretty good for a first ep. I didn't read the manga so I don't know much about it, but it looks really interesting. I love the OP and ED songs. I'm already liking the anime~ Can't wait for more.

The voices seemed almost perfect for the roles. The dark undertone is a major point to the series. The next ep preview made Sebastian look a lot like Dr.Jackal from GetBackers :D
