Alois and Claude.
More shota-master and devil-butler scene.
The power of emo bishi x 3 is too much to bear!!!
Villetta Nu!!!What are you doing here? Did Ougi bored the hell out of you? Is being a maid a lot more exciting than being the 'PM's' wife??

Summary:
Alois Trancy is one screwed up kid who was kidnapped when he was still a baby. He went through hell and was finally reunited with his father when he was older. His bad luck certainly didn't end there cause his so-called father loved shota so Alois was raped and abused by him. Alois wasn't happy with that naturally so he made a contract with a devil named Claude. His father died and he inherited everything.
But his Uncle Arnold wasn't happy since if it wasn't for Alois, he would probably (somehow) inherit his brother-in-law's wealth. So he came to check his nephew with a father and Viscount Druit. Everyone was pretty much convinced that Alois is the real thing except for dear uncle. Since Uncle Arnold isn't hot or young anymore and resembles Alois' ugly dead father, Alois expressed his hatred for ugly fat old man through mockery and later got rid of him with money.
That night, Alois was feeling very disgusted having to meet his uncle, but after inviting the mysterious but hot traveller for a stay in his mansion, he was all well. Since Alois is still a kid, he got curious and wanted to see the content of Mr. Traveller's trunk. Applying the law of equivalent exchange, Alois brought Mr. Traveller to his dark basement for a tour so that he could later see the Mr. Traveller's trunk. But no, Claude knew that Mr. Traveller was up to no good and wanted to snatch the trunk from him, thus they started fighting.
Surprise surprise, Mr. Traveller is revealed to be our hottest butler Sebby!!!! More surprises, our shota-bocchan is revealed to be napping in Sebby's big trunk. Well it was clear that Sebby is the best butler and he owned Claude and ran away with a tea box from the basement. While Alois and Claude were angst-ing in the Trancy mansion, Sebby took out Ciel from the trunk and patted his hairlovingly before putting on Ciel's ring (from the tea box) on Ciel's thumb. Later on the sun rised, and it's time for Ciel to wake up. The end.

Alois, you're too young to seduce Claude...
Mmmmm~Alois looks like Ciel here, except that he has that hint of slyness around him, must be his hair.
Psycho kid needs to fix an appointment with a doctor.
Not as innocent as you think.One moment he looks normal, the next moment you see him poking people's eye till it bleeds. I thought my eyes were tricking me when I watch this scene. But no, Alois is truly insane.
Triplets!!!They don't act like they're humans and they don't speak at all, so different from the three dummies from the household of Phantomhive...
Ta-tap dancing? For real???
And I thought you were normal!!!!! What were you thinking Claudo?? The last thing I expect someone as solemn as Claude to do is certainly tap dancing...
Dance Claude dance!!! We seriously need more dancing butlers!!!
Alois and Claude are the exact opposite of Ciel and Sebastien.
Yes, more angry face please. At least you look normal.
How I wish Alois was lying about his family. I'd rather him be a random slave boy found by a mentally sick old man rather than his dad. It's really disgusting, it was his own father!!! What the hell happened??Sadly, some facts (his resemblance with his mum) seem to support Alois' tragic story...
Sparkly.Normal boys don't sparkle, it's obvious that he's abnormal.
Shota in shorts!!!!!!!! xDAlois' clothing suits him perfectly. The big playful ribbon on his neck, his
Megane-shitsuji.Sensing that we're in need of guys with specs, here comes the fanservice. And it doesn't stop there, we have both guys with and without glasses at the same time!!! How convenient.
Tsktsktsk.Alois is so evil. After gaining trust from both the father and Viscount Druit, he mocks Uncle Arnold silently knowingly that nobody would ever believe what Arnold tells them.
Awww, Claude you need to loosen up a bit!!!!!*imagines Claude going 'ha-ha-ha' like Tanaka*
*Sniffs*
Claude isn't too happy that his master is interested in another devil.
Ouch, you've hurt Claude's pride Sebby... And this is how Claude pays back.
Sebby's signature smile.How can we not recognise it????
Shiny...gold knives...Of all things, butlers love to fight with cutleries... Plates and knives are their favourites...
Not surprise. Not one bit.JUST FRIGGING HAPPY. xD
It's Sebby!!!!!! Oh welcome back!!!!
Sebastian in pain? He can feel?????
It's Ciel!!!
Protecting Alois~ GJ Claude!!
Nice eyesight. I find it amusing that Alois can see that it was Ciel in that trunk even though he was so faaaaaaar away from it...
Sebby and his professional pride.
His trade mark 'shhhh'.
Wheeeeeeeeee~This scene made me lol-ed all the way till this end, how ridiculous can they get???
The 
Claude without glasses!!!
Sebby you're so taaaaaaaaalllll...
Alois is afraid of the dark and being alone... He's still a kid afterall...
Claude, how could you let your master beg you on his knees???
Fufufufufu!!!Sebby is one happy devil!!
Dolly Ciel~ xDDDI wouldn't mind having him in my room!!
Bocchan~Impression:
Well done to A-1 for trolling every fan around the world. It was a nice surprise to see the Ciel and Sebby returning, and even more shocking that Sebby intends to revive Ciel for some unknown reason (maybe he got addicted to being Ciel's butler or he simply enjoys working at the Phantomhive household with the 3 idiots).
Despite that, it was lame to have Ciel revived. But I can't say that I'm not happy, so I'll just pretend that Ciel never died at all in the last season. And from the preview, I spotted someone who looks a lot like Lau (who's supposed to be dead as well), so did Lau escape the fire or was that his brother/lookalike?
The seiyuu for Claude, Sakurai Takahiro (Suzaku from CODE GEASS!! & etc...) certainly did a great job. While watching this, my sister pointed out that Sebby and Claude sound alike in terms of tone and voice~ As expected of Sakurai!! xDif only we can squeeze Fukuyama Jun somewhere in and I could die of happiness! As for Mizuki Nana, seiyuu for Alois, all I can say is she pretty good in bringing out Alois' character. Since I'm not really a fan of her so I'll just stop here...
Now let's check out our new shota. Alois is childish, playful and extremely mentally-ill unlike Ciel who is serious, mature, and can a bit psychotic as well when provoked. Despite that both of them went through hell, Ciel remains sane while Alois is clearly one messed-up kid so screwed that he totally lost his common sense. Alois doesn't trust anyone at all, not even Claude. Perhaps it's because of his lack of trust and attachment to other people and the experience of being isolated are what that shaped him into what he is. Unlike Alois, Ciel knows how was it to beloved and love someone before he went through all the terrible things. Furthermore, Ciel's maturity and calm personality can be explained through his family status as the Queen's watchdog.
One common trait they both share is they are playful. But how they play is very much different from each other. Ciel enjoys playing intellectual game or challenging Sebastian to achieve something, in other words, he's normal. But what Alois does is pure craziness. To him, all his pranks are nothing but pure entertainment, but we can't possibly call gouging people's eyeball as playing!
On the other hand, Alois' butler Claude is so darn serious (let us pretend that we don't know he loves tap dancing) and almost emotionless (Sebby would surely be annoyed if Ciel were to unbutton his shirt just to tease him) unlike Sebby. Knowing that Claude is very strict, it's no wonder that the Trancy's servants are much more reliable than the 3 goofy servants Sebby hired. lol Though, if I'm a servant I'd prefer to be hired by the Phantomhive household, at least my master isn't psychotic and I have Sebby to clean my mess for me! lol
It seems like the butlers are designed to balance their masters's personality!! I'd love to see these masters switching their butlers for once. I'm guessing that CielxClaude might be too boring to watch as both are quite serious, while AloisxSebby will probably be fooling around with one another so much that I dare say it'll be very interesting to watch them doing so.
Now that I've seen Alois' craziness, I'm hoping to see more of the serious side of him. It's clear that Alois isn't just some crazy brat (from how he deals with those people) and hopefully A-1 would expand that side of him in the future episodes through his interaction with Ciel. There said, A-1 better not discard them like garbage like what happened in GA REI ZERO.

SSSOOOOOOOOOO HHOOOOTTTTT!!!!!!! I haven't even started reading this or watching it yet but you totally made me want to read it! The characters are so cute and interesting. One minute Alois is psycho the next he's so sweet and childish. Anyway, Dancing Butlers Rule! Thanks Alot!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, the same person "SSSOOOO HHOOOTTT"!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading the summary at the beginning and OH MY GOD! you serious? that's horrible! But to still smile and laugh though in a psychotic way is amazing and made me love Alois all the more :)
Poor Alois :(
I'm glad that you're giving Kuroshitsuji a try (the more the merrier~)!! The first season wasn't as fabulous as the manga but it wasn't bad (I find it entertaining until a certain arch...), hopefully we get more interesting story in this season!!! xD
ReplyDeleteAbout the summary, it was all from my POV for the 1st episode so it might not be totally accurate since I'm not sure what Alois said was 100% true. But he's indeed a very interesting character!!!! Too bad many viewers can't take his psychopathic behaviour... lol Can't wait for the next episode~ xDD
hello there, i like your screen shots, all the pics are large and clear! may i know where you screen shots them from? you downloaded the video? where is the earth you got those clear video from?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!!
ReplyDeleteI took all the screenshots manually with some programs, mainly Gadwin PrintScreen and Evernote. Evernote is my fav since it's the easiest one to use, sadly I had to switch to Gadwin cause Evernote has a usage limit (which I always exceed)... And if I have to edit the images, I use Photoshop. As for the video, I got them from here:http://tokyotosho.info/
the video from that link are all HD? or you used those programs to make them large and clear? normally i just print screen by the keyboard key and paste them into paint, save them up, any big different if i use gadin or evernote to do screenshots?
ReplyDeletesorry if my questions are too much :P
Well, that site has many sources, HD or not depends on the subbers/sources, so you get to choose (especially for popular series). Generally, most are already in 480p while 720p/1080p are getting more common.
ReplyDeleteIf you use these programs, you don't have to paste and save them in paint (I find that painfully tiring). But of course you need to install the program first and you might want to customize it.
The moment you press PrintScreen, you get to select the area you want to save as screenshot (a bit like highlighting...), press enter and your images will be in your folder(which you can select to the one you want to save in). So basically the steps are, Print screen, select, enter and you're done. xD
are you combining two pictures on that ciel sleeping pic? as i know we can't screenshot that long, right?
ReplyDeleteI used more than 2 screen shots (especially the area around Ciel's legs needed some touch up) using Photoshop to get the result. Same goes to other extra long/wide/square image.
ReplyDeletewow these pictures are well combined :)
ReplyDeletei see. thanks!! have fun watching ep12!!
