Dat airship! Nice.

There's still this mystery atmosphere I'm getting from this episode and series. That Yogi guy is kinda funny. I thought the music in this episode was also a little catchy.



Ouch, Nai seems to be somewhat in trouble this episode as well. The creatures in this episode were kinda creepy with their movements and attacks. Nai ;.;. So I guess Karoku has some influence on him. His character design also looks okay to me.

I love Yogi!!! Anyways I feel that the episode went by too quick 3 chapter in one episode!!! Why are they rushing this and they don't give us chibi Nai and make everything so serious!! Oh well maybe that's what you get for reading the manga you'll compare it to the anime....but I gracefully they animate Karneval.

OP is cool.

Poor Yogi in cat. So Circus really do act like circus other than being a "police". Wow @ the airship. OnoD vs. HiroC, sort of.

LOL @ the rabbit robot(?).

Karoku appearing at the end. Is he the leader that was trying to catch Nai?

I think that it will onky have 13 episodes because it will only adapt until the midle of volume 6. Who already have read the manga probably noticed because of the clothes they use at the opening.



So, I hope that someday when the manga ends they will make a second season. ; -;

probably if the DVDs/BDs sells well they'll think of making a 2nd season, so there's still hope ^.~

anyways only two episodes out so far but I'm loving it, it's a great story, the art is beautiful, the music matches the moment and the seiyuus are really good c:

Once again, I couldn't wait for the subs so I watched it raw. This show is just...beautiful!
Yogi's awesomeness is even more epic in animation.
OnoD as Hirato... Wow! Perfect match. OnoD's voice has such a soothing and sexy vibe to it.

Only 13 episodes? Sad Villetta is sad...

It was good. I felt Hakkenden vibe. Though the target audience is women, it was exciting, not dull. As is often the case with shoujo/josei anime, the art was beautiful and impressive.

That hide and seek was interesting, but it didn't feel the necessaity. That girl said most of people would fail, but it wasn't described how hard the game was.

Is it bad I find the world more interesting than the characters? The show is aesthetically pleasing with the colors and character designs; that and the mixture of real world with fantasy/magic is what is keeping me more interested in the show than I should be lol

Hearing instantly recognizable seiyuu in this show is really pulling me out of the experience more than usual. I can usually just ignore it and buy into the illusion but I'm having a harder time with this show in particular. Not really subtle who the studio is trying to appeal to with the always popular Daisuke Ono, Hiroshi Kamiya, and Mamoru Miyano

YESSSS YOGIIII. I have been waiting for this for so long. :'D Yogi is just so freaking adorable I don't know how he does it.

Another great episode, and I absolutely loved OP. It was great. Kind of reminded my of Shiver (Kuroshitsuji II's OP).

Haha I thought of the same thing, except maybe for a different reason. Both anime has a shota main character :P

Yogi was so adorable! Miyano Mamoru is the perfect seiyuu for him, eccentric, yet cute ^^ I laughed when Gareki through down the stuff he bought when he saw that Nai left, even thought he told Nai not to move. And the sheep! Their voice is just as cute as I imagined it to be when I read the manga~ I love how that one sheep basically saves the day because of the 1 hour limit for hide and seek. Great episode this week, and I also wonder how they're going to finish this up in only 13 episodes. Hopefully it'll get a second season like what happened with Hakkenden :)

I really love the colours in this anime! Everyone's eyes are so beautiful, Tsukumo is so pretty ; ___ ;.

And omg lol at Yogi's battle intro lines, they sound even more ridiculous when said out loud (x I really love the choice in seiyuus for the characters, they really suit them!

I hope they do make a second season, I don't think I'll ever get enough of Karneval ;;

I'm somewhat intrigued by this show, but the characters are holding me back. I do like the members of Circus so far, especially Yogi, but the main two are my problem. Gareki doesn't really seem to have much of a character, but I can see him potentially growing to be one. Nai on the other hand is completely useless and seems downright stupid

Okay, finished episode 2. This show is going pretty well, though it is becoming a little episodic for me. Circus is interesting and I like Hirato, Gareki, and Yogi. Also, the awesome and sultry sounds of Koji Yusa was an awesome addition this episode. I know I just heard him in The Unlimited from last season, but it is always great to hear him.

This episode was a little of a let down for me, but that was mainly because of Nai. I honestly think there's some sort of screw loose up there. He's an idiot! I seriously wanted to tell him if he didn't shut up I would SHOOT Karoku! And when someone tells you to run, you had better run!

Honestly, the only time I didn't want to shout at him was when he was going nuts at the end, and then suddenly I felt sorry for the pain he was going through. I guess he really is like a dumb puppy, he just doesn't know any better, and though you want to shout at him all the time, you just can't stay mad at him.

And it seems the often mentioned, but never seen Karoku has finally shown up. He seems to be injured and at the evil groups place. I think that Circus know more about Karoku than they're telling, but who knows? And what is Karoku doing to Nai? Is Nai a mutation too? And what are these red seeds?

So many questions to be answered, so I guess I will stick around to get them answered. But Nai was single-handedly driving me away from this show this episode. If he gets any worse, he might just succeed.

YOGI = TAKUTO!
And in Yogi's introduction, anyone else notice the Star Driver reference? I love Yogi already! He is just as funny as Takuto! Maybe even more! Yogi can't stop reminding me of Takuto! And that isn't a bad thing in my opinion! Am so curious about Nai too!

I'm wondering now if Karoku got kick out of Circus and turned evil or is working with the Varuga/ creating them, I also get the feeling that Hirato knows more than he is telling.

OP is ok. First time? that Manglobe used a Japanese OP (The UNLIMITED used an English one first). Definitely did not expect a hide-and-seek game. LOL @ Gareki being trashed by those 'animal guards' (what do they call them anyway?).

I'm just catching up with Death Note before watching this, and I'm having trouble connecting Yogi's voice with Light, considering that they're both voiced by Miyano Mamoru.

Will keep watching, but Nai starts to get on my nerves. I hope his character will get better or it will be quite difficult to enjoy the Anime when the only thing he can say is "Karoku" or "Gareki".

As someone already pointed out, using seiyuu who you hear everywhere now does not always contribute to the enjoyment. Surprisingly though, this time I don't find Mamo that distracting, maybe bc of the slightly different voice style and a different kind of character than the ones he voiced, good for a change.

Yogi is totally like Tamaki, I love him already~ they even have the same seiyuu (my favorite Mamoru-sama)... And Gareki is really cool too. But Nai talking about that Karoku all the time... Not sure if I'll like that Karoku guy.

I think that for now it's very interesting anime. Looking forward to next ep.
