From the beginning: The name of the circus. (I may be plotting, but I thought it might be a reference). "Noah's ark was able to carry much load and served to save Noah's family." The circus is a way to keep all the main characters together. It is like a boat, that there is capacity for much cargo. There is a place for everyone who wants to enter, as in this case, Sebastian and Ciel, who enter the circus through information. This bow is one of the best in my opinion. (Actually, I love the circus theme in movies and animations, from the general). Something remarkable isthat whenever an anime / movie tackles this theme, or the story is sad, or it's scary. In children's tales, there may be a happy ending. Perhaps.

Taking advantage of what I mentioned about children's tales, there is a popular tale called "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" which tells the story of a man who hypnotized rats with his flute. And after not paying this man, to end the infestation of rats, he left the city, returned and began to attract children with the sound of his flute. This tale also appears in Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R: The Movie. Where the flautist hypnotize the children. Likewise, it happens in Book of Circus. The circus hypnotized the children by taking them. And in their dreams, they seemed to be in a beautiful and wonderful place.

Soon, the anime has a great story, despite a sad ending.
The circus contains very cool and captivating characters (if that's how I can describe it), the whole character is cool and has an interesting ability (common circus). But of course, the character who has more prominence, the Joker! I particularly love this character.

The design in the characters is also great. The costumes are pretty cool. (Expected from Kuroshitsuji, usually the characters have a cool design and are very cute). The expected of Yana Toboso, I say.

The soundtrack is divine. Besides the OST, the opening and ending are very special. Something that Kuroshitsuji also works very well, which is the audiovisual part. There are always bands or singers of influence, which makes it even better. The cool thing is that the opening and the mv coincide with each other, because mv is as macabre as the circus.

And now about the end ... A sad ending, unfortunately. I clung to the characters in the circus, even though some of them, no matter how cool, were just that. It's very sad when you discover their story. In the end, they only wanted to pay for what they had done, for they were grateful to give them life again, even if it was not their liking to do what they did. (The abduction of children, I say). I hoped the characters would live to the end. And after Book of Circus, my love for Ciel was never the same.

Watching Kuroshitsuji Season 1: Ah, I love Ciel.
Watching Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus: CIEL, I HATE YOU.

To conclude, I think this bow was great in 10 episodes! Certainly one of my favorites.
