Is he not a shinigami in the manga?
I've been meaning to read Kuroshitsuji, I've just never gotten around to it... |
No, it was never mentioned in the manga about his identity. I think the manga's at volume 9 right now...in the middle of the detective case. |
Is the manga very different from the manga or is it pretty accurate. I guess I really should read it...
|
I haven't read the manga either, but from what I understand, the anime isn't very faithful. There's too much random humor and blatant yaoi vibes or something like that.
Also, the second season had more Grell, but it didn't really have a lot of substance. It didn't really have a bunch of cases to solve. It was all about souls and boring. |
Yeah, the manga's very different from the anime. I think they started out the same, but then it just went waaaay off. I know at least that the detective arc never appeared in the seasons. And I know Sebastian did not fly onto a boat holding Ciel bridal-styled to kick Lao's ass via riding a cannonball in the manga either. (though it might appear in the later series, depending on how the mangaka wants it to go) |
I don't really like the comedy bits in the anime. One fo the few things I don't like about it. I think I'll definitely read the manga now once I get the money to buy the books :)
I don't really like reading it online |
I usually don't like reading online either, because it takes a long while to wait for the pages to load and I get irritated easily by that. :lol: |
its amazing i loved it the seconed i started reading/watching it i LOVE Greil <3
|
Oh wow, the new chapter had both my favorite characters appear in it. xD |
Snake's awesome in his own right I guess. I was definitely happy to see Undertaker and Prince Soma and Agni's antics were great XD
SPOILER |
lol Yeah. XD |
I liked the first season much better than the second season for some reason.Still want both on DVD when they come out.
|
ah yes, poor sebastian definitely has his work cut out for him XD
but I think, my favorite arc was still the circus arc, I mean it was mad twisted and all but the character designs were really nice. @hillary84: I have to agree with you. I much preferred the first season of the anime. I felt the second season was a bit...iffy. It was okay just...not great for me. |
Yeah, I liked the circus arc too, but not the ending so much. Too sad for my liking. |
Grell wasn't in much of it though... I was a bit disappointed myself. I was hoping Undertaker would have a better role as well.
|
i absolutely love this anime. what's not to like about it? it's dark and scary, but completly funny, not to mention it has a sexy demon butler =^_^= i just recently found the manga, but havent gotten to read it tho. i'm looking forward to that for sure.
|
I wish they had taken the Circus arc from the manga and put it into the anime as well. That was one of my favorite arcs from the manga series that I would have loved to also have seen in the anime version.
|
I think it was because the anime got finished before the circus arc had been completed? *isn't too clear about when the anime had been released* But yeah, I like the circus arc too, it would've been neat if it could make it into the anime D: |
I. Love. This. Series.
Honestly. I haven't been able to get into a series in a long time, which led me to believe my interest in anime has faded greatly. I found this manga when I saw an icon of Grell and fell in love with the character, I did some research and found the series and fell in love with that as well. I found it back when Jack the ripper was being released in Japan, so I'm proud to say that I'm a long-term and very loyal fan. I have all three volumes of the manga in English, and I'll be buying the anime when it's released, even though I don't like the English dub, but I'm going to buy it regardless. I also own many things from the series, my most prized possession is my Sebastian and Grell plushie. I'm also a Grell and Sebastian cosplayer. I hope to be Pluto, Beast, Joker, Demon-Hannah, Canterbury, Alois and others eventually. I'm such a dork. I could go on and on about this series. I just love it so much. ;w; |
Well this is the perfect place for you to go on and on about the series! XD It's entirely dedicated to the series, after all. :3 |
Oh boy. Constant jabbering about non-existant people. :D
I agree. New series are just repeats. You have to look really hard to find the good ones. Kuro was my rare jem. <3 I hope there are more series like this, but not entirely. Yana's other manga, Rust Blaster or whatever, is really good. I love Kain Van something. o 3o I have a feeling he was the inspiration for her to make Grell. And she made a Yaoi manga that I read...Oh boy was it Yaoi. -w- <3 And the last chapter, since there were five and all one shots, I believe was the prototype for Kuro, since there are a few similarities between the two, but it's not official. I know too much stuff. D: I have a friend who is cosplaying the Undertaker. He's really good at it too. He's re-making his cosplay and it looks fantastic so far. Who knew you could make a great cosplay from sheets. xD Gotta love his resources. I also have a Ciel, two Sebastians, Madame Red, Angela/Ash, Claude, Alois, Hannah, another Grell, and Mey-Rin. I love my little Kuro family. c: And this next convention I'm going to in January, I'm running the Kuro panel! It should be fun. Going to serve Earl Gray Tea and give out lollipops butler style. I just have so many ideas. >w< |
Yeah, after Kuroshitsuji became a big hit, I noticed a lot of new manga coming out featuring butlers/masters...-.-; |
I'm glad Snake re-appeared, but I'm really suspicious of Ciel. He has something planned, I know it. And Ronald came back too! Now I'm just waiting for Grell because I remember Yana saying that the anime has inspired her to put Grell back in, but that was during the Circus Arc and still no Grell, other than just a sliver of his red hair and a brief mentioning of him. Boo.
And yes, I'm a huge Grell fan. <3 I would love to become an amazing cosplayer of him in the future...waaaaay future since it will be difficult to be him. His teeth are expensive...x___x But I have his wig, glasses, outfit, dangly glasses thing, and my friend is making me his chainsaw. ^^ And I need contacts too. Boo. He's so expensive. >w< I believe that Yana was a yaoi artist as well. I don't mind. I love yaoi. o 3o And I recently got into that, too. At first I was like "...Nuu" then after awhile I dove right into it. I've become one of them. D: I've seen a lot of Ciels as well, and his dress seems to be the most popular. But I've seen male versions, but most of them are traps! I've only met two male Ciels...And one of them is too tall so he doesn't look like Ciel at all. xD i actually have Ciel's jacket that I bought from this really fancy website. It's amazing and very accurate and detailed. So I'll be cosplaying as his Birthday version when I get the rest of his costume. x3 |
Snake's my favorite character aside from the Undertaker so far, though it's mainly because I love snakes. :XD; Kid's way too gullible though, considering how he just accepted Ciel's proposal like that...(though if he hadn't, he'd end up dead, so I guess that's not too bad compared to the other option :stare:) |
I love Kuro. It's kind of the only yaoi-ish manga I can stand, because it's actually got a great story and setting instead of the simple ol high school stuff, and it's not nearly as predictable. And yet the fanservice amount is equal! Yay!
Being a teeny asian person, I cosplay as ciel all the time. I made sure to make an outfit that you can't buy, which is the blue coat ensemble in episode 7, I think. The best part about it is that his coats are snazzy and wearable outside of conventions, unlike most other costumes, so I get way more use out of them. Totoro and all those costumes are fun, but I figure if you're gonna spend all that time making something you should wear it more than once or twice. |
