Anime Watch: Subbed Kuroshitsuji Episode 22 Finally Out

Finally, the subbed version for Kuroshitsuji episode 22 is out and can be viewed here. At least I can have one positive thing happened for me today.

Now I understand why Sebastian left Ciel's side so suddenly. Apparently he is not happy that Ciel is changing emotionally. This is mainly because Ciel is deeply affected by Aberline's death. However, this version of Ciel only belongs in the anime. The manga version is much more stronger and evil than this. In fact, the mangaka had said so herself, that her Ciel would be more evil compared with this episode's Ciel.

So this is somewhat of a letdown from the anime team, since they had been doing quite well before. Deviation from the original manga is something that most animes experienced and looks like even Kuroshitsuji is also unable to escape from the same destiny.

Besides, the anime Sebastian had mentioned in an earlier episode that he would follow his master no matter where he goes. So the leaving of Ciel is also somewhat puzzling, though it's suggested that the cat which appeared towards the end appears to be Sebastian. Sebastian's motive is not that clear and so we can only assume that he probably left Ciel as he felt that Ciel is no longer the same as before.

Yet this sudden, new powerless Ciel is simply not my cup of tea, though I do pity him that he has to fend for himself since Sebastian is not around. Well, it's high time that Ciel learns to take care of himself. Surely he can do a simple thing such as grooming himself to a presentable state? In this aspect, at least it's more or less the same as the manga version. Both versions feature a Ciel that is unable to take care of himself properly and simple tasks like wearing his eye mask or clothes is like a challenge to him. Most of the times, he never get them right either. *snickers*

With this, we are left with 2 more episodes to go before the anime officially concludes. Oh boy, I shall be missing this anime when the time for its end comes. Thankfully the manga is still going strong and I am anticipating the latest release, which is tomorrow and hopefully a translation will come out soon.

I never thought that I could become such a huge fan of Kuroshitsuji. Cheers!
