I wish his character was used to address the deeper questions and themes of the show. I despise her as a characterĪ couple thoughts on season 2, continued: I loved Alois both as a character and as a foil to Ciel, especially now that 2CT has been confirmed. She holds the demon sword and is arguably the strongest demon and yet she carries the sword as a 'sheath' for other male demons? And she acts more subservient and is demeaned more than any of the other servants? AND her motivation is being a mother figure to Luka/Alois? Her pain is also sexualized, especially whenever Claude is taking the demon sword out of her.

Hannah's arc was ridiculous and pretty stupid. Also, the fact that Ciel was basically stunned after being thrown off a balcony really speaks to how FRAGILE humans are.Ī couple thoughts on season 2, continued: Another thing.

The 'ONE TWO THREE, ONE TWO THREE, DOWN YOU GOOOOOO'. Ciel violently swinging the sword like he has barely any control of it. Alois running away from Ciel, laughing and mocking him. These two, on the other hand, are so damn entertaining.

The exception is, of course, Sebastian and Claude, and a for a few seconds (before she got pinned to the floor) Sebastian and Hannah. The demons, while they did have a few quips, arguably by this point none of them were fleshed out, so the audience didn't know if any of their quips particularly very in character.

This is Victorian England, there is no respawn point and no health potions). These are little Victorian boys, not demon men, so if one of them gets injured, it'll probably be, if not fatal, a huge pain in the ass for the next 5 episodes (and it is, Alois dies of his injuries later. There's also the fact that the tension is a lot higher (naturally).
