| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A pretty good episode. I didn't expect to see others' past and their real jobs. I was totally enjoyed by it. |
| Three lovely stills that I'm sure the lot of you will appreciate. :] Note about the story, I still don't believe that Ash and Angela are the same person. They're both angels, with similar faces and similar intent, but I still believe they're separate. It also looks like the mansion might be in for another "hot" event. xD The thing with the queen, I guess I didn't really see that one coming. Though, I'm glad it confirmed what I thought was the queen playing chess with Ash by her side on a previous episode. I wonder what Sebastian is thinking though. Although he might have just lost faith in his precious soul? Then again, what with Aberline and such...I guess we'll have to see with only two episodes left. Now I really need to know the ending. And I'm half and half, I want it to follow Ciel's demise because his contract is, after all, irreversible. But at the same time, I want to see Sebastian maybe prolong things. Gah. Two more episodes mean two more weeks. Who can wait for that? |

It actually kind of pissed me off how useless Ciel was by himself lol I just can't picture a 2 episode left scenario with this anime that will satisfy me. I'm hoping for a season 2 too, even though its only slated for the 24. Lets hope for a good one! |

| Okay...now I feel confused o__o It was so painful to watch poor Ciel all alone ;___; (I can't watch kids suffering it's my weakness ^^;;) And angry Sebas was just....so scary XD ...next episode pleeeaaaseee~! |
 |
| *scrams* wheres Sebastian!?! NOOOOO!!!! T_T i felt soo bad for Ciel T_T and it seems that his house is going to go again T_T |
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breath. |
PandaPuff said: Aww Ciel! Useless without Sebastian. :( But how cuuuute. <I wanted to hug him, really. :3 > Woow, this one was great. Angry bishounens are so scary... XD And I don't like all that "be good and you'll be saved" stuff. It's just not like Ciel. |

XD And I don't like all that "be good and you'll be saved" stuff. It's just not like Ciel. I agree. Sebastian was pretty pissed and Ciel can't do anything on his own D; I can't imagine how it'll end in 2 episodes but lets hope it'll be good. x3 |
| Dammit Sebastian! I order you to return to Ciel once. You hear me? x'D Sent with Mal Updater |

| To be frank, this is starting to get boring. It had so much potential, and episode by episode it has succeeded in changing my views from a brilliant show to...*yawn* |

| Ciel being alone despresses me. He's so helpless without Sebastian! And this is really the first time we've seen Sebastian give Ciel angry looks--I guess it's because Ciel called off the fight between him and Ash. Only two episodes left! |

| I was beginning to think that I was the only one who felt the same as sugarplumfairy. This was a borderline terrible episode. The beginning was good, but more like what I expected the last episode to be; the second-half, however, with Ciel petulantly yelling, "Do you know who I aam!" to everything including cats was ridiculous and overexaggerated. Thank God it's going to be plot from here on out though. |
| Was the cat Sebastian? I wasn't sure. I actually quite liked this episode. It confirmed my suspicions that Sebastian didn't like how Ciel was changing. Also, with this episode I took more notice of the opening theme song lyrics ~ Has anyone else noticed that it's a love song, and appears to be about Sebastian and Ciel? I agree with what some of you said about there only being two episodes left, and how it's unlikely that there will be a satisfying ending. ]= |
| this episode was so sad! Sebastian was really shocked when Ciel asked him to stop, and then was just really pissed! I guess he´s thinking he might not get the soul after all... Still, I can´t believe he left like that! Ciel is so helpless without Sebastian... I mean, he can´t even dress himself properly! I really think the cat was Sebastian, specially when we saw the eyes... I wonder what will happen to the mansion now, will they be able to put out the fire on time? |
| Awwww! Poor Sebastian! If this keeps up he won't get Ciel's soul ... and after working as a butler for agesss. I would be pretty pis.ssed too. |
 Oh no. |
| This episode was pretty boring. I guess everything about this episode was important, but to me, it all felt pretty useless. I'm confused though. Did the queen kill Ciels parents or something? I thought thats what this was all about. I'm not sure about this at all. Well, hopefully the final two episodes will complete the series and not just be a cliffhanger of some sort. |
| Ciel cant do much without Sebastian .. quite sad |
     |
| Seeing Ciel running around alone and helpless is so depressing :( I want Sebastian back... |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| ...O-oh God. I think my heart broke for Ciel without Sebby. Bawww he's so cute and useless and I just want to give him a hug. ;__; Either way, this was a stunning episode. The development of tension between Ciel and Sebastian is well done, and works well with their personalities. Sebastian liked Ciel because of his old mindset, an almost emotionless mindset. But Ciel's been changing, and Sebastian hasn't liked it? Or maybe he's conflicted about it. Man I'm worried they're just going to cram too much into the next two eps. :\ But we'll see how it goes |
    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
| Loved it! Poor Ciel is useless without Sebastian :( And I knew it was only a matter of time before Sebs got pissed and something like this happened. Ciel is pussing out. :/ |
 |
| Just as London has been depicted wonderfully (Crystal Palace <3), so has Paris here!!! Shocked, then annoyed Sebastian when Ceil told him they were going to retreat, and then when he said there's no such thing as a soul.. 8/ Tbh part of me really wants Ceil to take Aberline's advice ... 'My soul's always been running in the dark.' :( .. but then Sebastian D: So Queen Victoria/Albert were turned into a golem, that has evolved into that little girl? :S |

| Well, the manga is still on-going so I wonder if it'll end on this one season. Maybe in the next episode Ciel will realize how hopeless he is without Sebatian-sama and there will be a moving reunion, then Ciel will come up with a Great Plan of Revenge and pampampaaaam: see you again! And a 2nd season in (?) next year. |
| |
| I have.....absolutely no idea what's going on... it was still alright though... But thank god I have the manga to read...which is awesome. |
 |
| Is it just me or are things getting more and more confusing...? Only two episodes left and so many things are unclear. |
 |
| I feel bad for Ciel Also it ended too quickly But the queen is pretty~ |
 |
| That episode was so sad! Sebastian, you bastard! He was hinting at leaving the whole time, but it was still sad to see it actually happen, though I still LOL'd when Ciel came up to the desk with his clothes all untidy and the clerk gave him a strange look XDDD Alas, I still hope Sebastian goes back to Ciel...Ciel is just too dependent on him :/ Is it just me or does it seem like Ciel's going to get killed off at the end of the season? :'( Xephia said: Was the cat Sebastian? I wasn't sure. Just judging by the eyes, I would say it's him :] |

Two more episodes mean two more weeks. Who can wait for that? I concur on every single point you've made in that post. :] Here's a deranged twist for you: Aberline comes back with his own demon butler. xD Just kidding. Somehow this episode felt terribly awkward for me. When Sebastian demanded for Ciel to "forget everything", I had initially assumed he was referring to the events that occured during Ciel's dangerous encounter with the queen and Ash. But when he suddenly disappeared like that, would it not literally be like disobeying when he swore allegiance to Ciel? It wouldn't make much sense. Plus the emblem embedded in Ciel's right eye is faint but has not disappeared, insinuating that Ciel STILL has ties with Sebastian. Hence the cat theory. Maybe the appearance of the cat was a way to tie this whole charade together. The chances of Sebastian making his reappearance in the last couple of episodes is absolutely probable. If not, then shame on the scriptwriters of the anime - not the manga. I wasn't able to fully understand the Queen's appearance. If she supposedly fused with her husband, would that merely imply that her husband was a young boy when he died? This has left me baffled and a little disturbed. =P This was an alright episode, but I do hope the end of the series will be striking. If not, then may a second season await us? =D |

| That lonely and poor Ciel reminds me of David Copperfield. |
| Sebastian giving Ciel that evil glare and Ciel in his rumpled clothes made me laugh. But poor Ciel is lost without his Sebastian...aww |
         |
| What a foreboding episode. >.< When Asch said the queen's will had turned her image into that of a spotless girl, it reminded me of the picture of Dorian Grey. Seriously, Ciel and Sebastian need to kiss and make up, now. |

Thank God it's going to be plot from here on out though. you're not the only one. i am quite disappointed that ciel is such a useless person. i thought he would be more resourceful than that. sigh, note to self: never read the manga before watching its anime. (hope 07 ghost won't be like that!!) and it was so promising at the beginning half of the series!! |

Seriously, Ciel and Sebastian need to kiss and make up, now. go..away..with those...yaoi thoughts^^ great episode again although i wasn't sure why sebastian had left ciel at first it looked like (when he watched himself in the mirror) that the mark was kinda disappearing... maybe some users here were right and sebastian felt like he wouldn't get ciels soul^^ but then again i felt sorry for ciel poor thing can do nothing on his own^^ i laughed at the part when he told the inn keeper he was CIEL PHANTOMHIVE blabla...too bad for him he can't threaten him without sebastian... and i also think sebastian was the cat..why else would there be a BLACK cat around ciel all the time^^ about ash and angela..of course they are 2 angels not one^^ the queen also shocked me...i mean i knew there wouldn't be some old granny..but..a young girl talking about the same stuff as the angels? must be pretty manipulated by ash (i always knew he was special *-*) |
| I am so glad that my suspicions about the queen were proved right ^3^ though I obviously didn't know the exact details xD was an awesome ep though, from queen-related shock at the beginning to Sebastian vs. Ash fight that I wanted to go on for much longer *___* to Ciel-kun being on his own >.< man! I hope Sebastian comes back soon, Ciel is so lonely bless him >x< and hopeless on his own (though I too thought maybe the cat was Sebastian 8D) also intrigued that Sebastian asked about the underground room where he made the contract with Ciel -- seems even Sebastian doesn't know about this o__O I want to know!! >w< |
 |
| Confusing! |
David_CZ said: Confusing! kinda same here :\ overall, fell sad for ciel =.= well i only go this one word nao: get back quickly sebastian!!!! (wait, are those moar than a word??) |
| Okay seems that the subbers screwed up and they called 21 22 as well D: but ummm as for the actual 22 Ciel was a bit too full of himself and useless in a sense, I mean I'm pretty sure he's more dependable than that when Sebastian isn't there and his reaction was a bit over the top but lets hope it gets better in the following episodes. |
| To be honest I really think that just like Sebastian said have a wonderful Dream but what is a happy Dream to a demon. So I think he is just dreaming and the mansion I don't know yet well Ash is an ass. But I give this episode a 8.3/10. |
 |
| One comment: What..the..HELL, Sebastian?! |
  |
| Why, Sebastian? ;_; Poor Ciel... |
     |
| You could actually feel Ciel's loneliness without Sebastian. :( Just shows how much he really depends on him, whether he wants to admit or not. Makes me wonder how Sebastian feels in return, if he feels anything. |
