Finally the first episode has finished airing in all parts of Japan.
Seems like the website has received lots of visits and it’s hard to access the website/blog at times. Sorry. (sweating)
I must say I’m somewhat astonished by the responses.
It’s not like I’m special, I think all the staff and authors feel the same no matter which anime or comic.
The most important thing is to entertain the viewers and the readers.
So I’ll strive to improve my work to your liking and look forward to your continued support.
The second episode will be airing on MBS tonight!! I hope everyone will be watching!
I’m in TBS region so it’s tomorrow for me.
The preview in episode 1 brought back memories (but everyone is fine in the manga) of all those good old characters.
How will the second episode turn out? Please see for yourself.
That guy is elated as always in the preview.
I love it when Sebastian got carried away and said something different from the scripts.
I like the scene with hands holdy-tighty in the OP (I don’t know how to put it any other way), and Hannah’s beautiful receding figure, also when Tonchinkan suddenly turn to face the screen, and Claude's super-closeup. (That’s pretty much the whole OP…)
Actually I like the hands scene so much that I climbed onto the picture and missed the credit of my name.
Naturally a carnivore (in personality), so even though the field of vision is narrow, the eyes can see through a knothole.
Editor asked “How did you manage to miss that?”
So I took a second look indeed it’s on screen in large font. Thank you very much.
By the way, I’m sure you all have seen Claude’s Super Glasses Play in episode 1? (LOL)
No matter how many times I watch it, I still burst into laugh after that tap-dancing.
No one can keep a straight face to ask what happened. It’s surrealism!!! Too much! I’m shaking!
Shall we take that as warm-up exercises in Claude’s style, Director? (LOL)
It’s not in the scenario, but a scene added by the director during animation, hats off to the director’s taste.
Also there’s this rumour saying that during dubbing a certain traveller said “Claude’s awesome! This is unfair! Even I don’t have that!” with envy.
Maybe it’d be nice to allow that traveller to do it someday, tap-dance, carpet-pulling etc…(Smile)
The first episode will be distributed on niconico video from 8th July, for those not within airing region, or forgot to record the show, or just feel like watching it, you can all watch it on niconico.
So get along and watch it.
I’ll also be waiting for HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD.
This is the series I have been looking forward to the most but somehow missed it…No.1 Shock lately. orz
Speaking of niconico, did you watch the NicoLive program?
I was touched by some of the things Editor K said during the broadcast.
He was supposed to comment on Traveller-themed anime (lol), but he made a comment on the traveller’s trunk instead.
Editor K “This traveller can’t go on a journey without this luggage.”
…Good Job!!! (LOL) I’m impressed!
This reminds me of what the main scriptwriter Okada-san used to say, although in this series “most of the characters have no interest in others”, there is this structure of character dependency,
“If this character doesn’t exist, then that character won’t exist either”.
Sebastian is the main character, but he can’t exist without Ciel.
Without Sebastian Ciel can’t continue to exist either.
If Sebastian and Ciel don’t come together, the servants can’t live…so on and so forth.
The Shinigamis are quite independent however.
I think this applies to Claude/Alois and Sebastian/Ciel in the second season too. This is just my personal view.
Because you (Season 1 Ciel/Sebastian) exist, I (Season 2 Alois/Claude) exist.
Then when it comes to Season 2,
Because you (Season 2 Alois/Claude) exist, I (Season 1 Ciel/Sebastian) exist.
The meaning is deep…
After hearing Editor K’s words, I was impressed when they showed me the plot in scripts.
The Claude/Alois pair, who never appeared in the comic, and have only made their entrance in the first episode, have made a great impact!
Their debut in the OP, which is of superb taste and stunning visual effect, really is more awesome than any comic character! This is unfair!!! (lol)
These characters are specially created for the anime, so I hope they will be loved by anime fans.
Personally, Alois hit my spot. That sort of unprecedented character, I like him a lot.
Typical Okada brand of characters I think. (Smile)
I feel some sort of attachment to all the anime original characters, still he’s my favourite among them.
Super easy to draw! Ah, can’t wait to see the scene when he finally comes to talk to Ciel.
Then there is the manga. There are many characters that only appear in the comic, I hope you would support those comic-only characters too. (Smile)
Mainly those comic-only characters appeared in and after Circus Arc.
Comparing to the number of characters made into the anime, I guess more didn’t!? (Smile)
Ah! One more thing!
Kuroshitsuji has been voted The Best Shounen Manga at Japan Expo in France.
Thank you very much. I’m glad it’s archived international recognition as a Shounen Manga. It seems the projection of the first episode attracted a large crowd of people too.
I’d like to thank everyone who voted for Kuroshitsuji and all the staff too. Thank you very much! Merci！！（＾＾）ﾉｼ
