So I finished my Book of Circus rewatch and I was impressed how well done it was?? (feels like it had a better budget than Book of the Atlantic 💀)
I love how this adaption was able to add so many original details, while also retelling older scenes like madame red's death. The anime does a fantastic job fleshing out the circus and getting across the tragedy of both what they were doing and what happened to them.
some of my favorite moments were:
madame red's death when explaining what the shinigamis are
jumbo playing the harmonica when ciel hears how they all grew up together. glad it was made into an emotional moment
extra scenes with doll! they're so good like how doll tells ciel he won't get hit and yelled at if he's at the circus. and no offense, but I didn't really get doll's heartbreak at ciel's betrayal until the anime, when she flashes back to all their scenes together 💔
how they show the circus members abducting children! really shows how ciel's missions are time-based and why he's so impatient most of the time, they're abucting children right under his nose
also that little girl they abducted is the same kid that gets sacrificed, and the girl who gives ciel oranges look just like her...
ciels nightmare about madam red. love how their showing he's still haunted by it.
there was also areally cool scene from his perspective running through hallway after discovering his dead parents, I hope they get this creative when it's time to animate the flashback arcs
I love the last scene with joker and the doctor as joker is nearly dying, saying he would have never accepted the prosthetics if he knew what they were, and the doctor asked him would he really, and joker flashes to a dream? of him picking up beast with two hands and he resigns to the fact he would as his eyes grow more lifeless, muah poetry 👌🏽
I will say I laughed a little at the end scene with the circus jumping around in the sky with the ribbon. I saw some meta about the ribbon a long time ago and how it could represent ciel's life or hope that's gone past his reach now... i think it would have been better if it was left open for interpretation? (but I understand how the adaptions feel the need to tie loose ends at the end of the story)
so all in all, amazing adaption, I can see why the fandom went feral when it dropped. I hope the current arc airing now, weston college will have time for their own creative moments.

help I’m sorry I’m still thinking abt the weather thing from p2025. like objectively even if you want to throw out all the actual real arguments and gun straight for capitalism’s sake…. it’s also the dumbest idea ever?? inconsolable disadvantages pending to a pretty big chunk of the futures market, which your institutional traders are currently making money off of using…. u guessed it! weather forecasting tools and weather forecaster forecasting tools based off these data streams. why r we all losing
