Entry no.3

Today is 25th of May, 2025. Here goes my third record of the observation, on Black Butler Emerald Witch Arc, episode 8.

A user manage to get the historical reference for who will be dr. sullivan (sieglinde's father): Fritz Haber

Some user were stinged by how cruel it is to have the recap of the last brutal episode. Though they understand that this is out of the need of story conjunction

some user found the german soldiers attractive in uniform, which is something they themself did not expect of.

Many users points out that despite revealed to be one of the soldiers, wolfram actually seemed to care about sieglinde. They wished wolfram gets a redemption chance but hopes arent high.

"Sebastian rampaging the factory is hot" - users (This opinion is approved by the observer)

"The Elder is hereby awarded Mother of the Year." lampooned user.

"If i have a nickel for every time Ciel and Sebastian commited arson, i'd have three nickels. Which isnt a lot but it's funny it happened that many times."

PS: Am having having memory loss here. Once during circus arc, once here, another where?

Today counts the third week for me to observe the anime onlies' reaction as a manga reader of black butler. Regretfully, it did not cross my mind to record down my previous observation, so we will start this week, on ep 6.

Previous chemistry expert had been able to accurately tell the miasma, mustard gas, and the ultimate weapon, sarin, based on the chemical formula disclosed this episode. They also notes on how the lines of the "magic circle" sullivan conduct on represents bonds, single and double. Said user had made guesses of the miasma being poison gas (one of the guess being mustard gas, spot on!) upon it's very first debut, based on the symptom, how it doesnt affects people surrounding the victim and the need of removal and disposal of clothing.

Previous "ciel have a big brother" user seems to be more firm on their theory now. They does not think the elder to be a twin though.

A 2CT theorist user had emerged amongst the crowd. As i expected, the less vague presentation of "in cage" o!ciel and "out cage" r!ciel in this media (animation) cannot fool watchers as easily as the manga did. Said user put focus on the covenant marked right eye and compared the two as well.

Most other user takes "the other Ciel" as a metaphor to o!ciel's past innocence and youth.

Users are being suspiscious on John Brown as well. Some are confused on his introduction, for his role was replaced by Ash on ss1. A user are able to pick up the reference to historical character John Brown on last episode's discussion too.

Here writes my second week of observation of anime onlies' reaction toward the newest Emerald Witch Arc episode, ep 7.

So far, a user picked up "an old acquaintance of Ciel is doing investigation". Make notes everyone! Two episodes until the arrival of the german beauty (i think)

A user recalls that in the first episode sebby mentioned he never came across werewolf and (actual) witches. Its all coming together.

Users express sympathy towards Sullivan's ill fate of longing the outside world while trapped in a made up society.

"Out of place technology!" exclaimed users.

Most users are fascinated by how the plot twist is revealed. Though a few users expressed disfavour to the plot twist, expecting more supernatural elements instead of futuristic human (furry) shenanigans.

A user had guessed out vicky's intention behind the tea party invitation.

Entry no. 4

Sascha and Ludger's arrival is welcomed by both anime onlies and manga readers alike! Say hi to our german Grim Reapers!

Though shinigami having out of place gears aren't new, a user took note on Ludger's sneakers. To their own surprise, their research shows that sneakers are invented around 1830-1880 (though unpopularized), so it's actually accurate to bb timeframe!

Users are as surpised as bocchan upon seeing the panzers' appearance. Granted, not for long, but the sequence is well received. Especially the sebastian Neo Dodging Bullets part.

Users noticed the emphasize on wolfram's disagreement to harming sieglinde. But hope there's a chance for wolf to talk it out, but they dare not have hopes high.
