| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I really loved this one. I loved all the characters and was fully engrossed throughout the whole movie. What I did not like was the ending. It seemed very rushed through and I had to look at the youtube comments section to understand it. That did not make me like the movie any less though, it just made me want to read the maga now. |
| It's impossible to make perfect adaptation of 17 volumes long manga, but for what it is, it's quite good. Characters are complex, and the themes of in this story are all dark and heavy, Gilbert is completely corrupted by his uncle, both sexually and mentally. He's unlikable, but anyone would understand why he keeps throwing himself at other people. I can only feel sorry for him, none of this is his fault. Serge on the other hand is too decent for his own good, no matter what Gilbert does, he keeps taking care of him. The best part about this short movie was probably the ending - when it's revealed that whole story is told in the flashback. Especially, when you consider how Serge behaves, it's easy to guess that at that point in the story Gilbert isn't around anymore. Which isn't surprising really, this does seem like a story where happy end is impossible to achieve.  Gosh, now that I think of it, Alois from Kuroshitsuji II seems to be heavily inspired by Gilbert, to the point it's not even funny. I'll definitely read manga version in the future as well, movie sadly does feel incomplete. 7/10 |

| I just finished it what happened to Gilbert after those years? |
| Well dang. Not sure what to say here other then I'm impressed and disappointed all in one stroke. Of course nothing close could've ever been adapted in an hour of time but boy was this shot damn well, the style is memorizing, and the characters are so layered yet we really only have time to see them on such a surface level. Time to read the manga *sigh* 7/10. |

| The drama and sensuality of this piece is incredible for just being a little over an hour. There's just enough information to piece together what's going on. I know Gilbert is the star but gosh, something about Serge. Definitely makes me want to read the manga even more, but that'll be a long while from now with no full translation :^( |
| This deserves a masterpiece reward. It’s too bad that there’s no official English translation. |

| I think I could have really liked this if it was a full series. Like that, it just looked like fragments of a greater story. But even the fragments were beautiful at times... |
