Kuroshitsuji and Suteki Tantei are remarkably different. Of course there might be a convenient similarity that would make you think otherwise, but clumbsy maids have always been popular in anime and rich tea-drinking shouta boys are the usual bait for the sadistic antagonist or the creepy-ass 'other' main character. 1) Dunno what's up with the gardeners, 2) Kuro has a useless chef *thumbs up*, and 3) butlers are becoming more popular nowadays in anime. All in all, the Kuroshitsuji anime was absolutely terrible and it still is. It terrorizes me that they even announced a second season, which means they're most likely going to shove it up Toboso Yana's ass and do whatever the hell they want with their so called 'storyline'. I recommend reading the manga. It makes SO much more sense than this angel vs. demon bullshit they threw in there just for teh lulz, I bet. I have to disagree.

I definitely thought Haruhi's was WAAAAAAY better. But then, that's probably because Haruhi's wasn't really about baseball, whereas this one was - and I don't like baseball. (: I also really liked how, if viewed in the proper broadcast order, Haruhi's baseball episode was only episode 4, occuring long before you knew about what had happened in the main storyline, so all the subtle references to the main storyline were really intriguing - a few of the lines in that episode kinda made me laugh a little, as I was like, "dude, what the hell happened?! What are these characters all talking about?! I have GOTTA keep watching this show, and find out why everyone is so scared of Haruhi getting bored!" ;) Clannad After Story's baseball episode was still cute, don't get me wrong... but only because I really like the characters. The actual content of the episode was kinda boring, I thought. -Tom Wow, you really like Clannad After Story’s baseball episode more than Haruhi’s? I definitely thought Haruhi’s was WAAAAAAY better.

Think of it when the coffee was about to spill over the table, and Sebasian went to great lengths in order to pull the table cloth away before that would happen.

It indeed makes more sense that STL ripped off KS than the other way around. :P Archer: call it a guilty pleasure. I know the cheese is bad and overexaggerated, but I can't help but enjoy it. ^^; Westlo: ah, that explains. It indeed makes more sense that STL ripped off KS than the other way around. :P

and really!!?? rip off in anime! i am like whatever but the story from Suteki Tantei Labyrinth belongs to its mangaka (or so i would believe) so it is his merits not really all Hiroshi Watanabe’s but i know you don’t like manga that much so you don’t pay much attention to them

And speaking of cheese, what gets more cheesy than a Butler using freaking BUTTERKNIVES as deadly weapons. That's just too awesome.

I still haven't watched the anime but in the manga , it got some darker mood later on. I won't say it has a good plot or anything like that but at least it tries to have a more mature theme, well at least I would say it 's better than Zombie Loan. And Sebastian will surely attracts fangirls, even if he has many exaggerrated movements , I will admit those are pretty cool and yeah, good for a laugh.

Sadly, the anime invented its own story in this episode and took out most of the humor - I suppose it'll be only 13 episodes long so they'll have to hurry to establish the (serious) main story. Nevertheless, I found the episode enjoyable. By the way, all that over-exaggerated glamour was done on purpose. The humor in the manga is usually pretty straight-faced.
