This could have been 10 stars, mostly because I love Freckles. But the other circus members (minus snake) are terrible. How are we supposed to feel sympathy for any of the circus cast other than freckles? They kill and kidnap kids. I thought I would end up liking or caring for Joker, Dagger, Beast, ect, but their entire backstory didn't make me feel like I could actually like them. How are we supposed to feel bad for characters that are bad? And why did Ciel have to KILL ALL OF THOSE KIDS? Like nothing would have changed in the plot if he atleast let them live.
