For someone who has made an unbreakable contract and who has already done about two years work for Ciel it was a unrealistic that he would leave Ciel. Take Sebastian’s sudden disappearance for example. Most of the second half’s story made absolutely NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Now this is where it goes horribly wrong. The second half was written exclusively for the anime. The second half of the series was entirely all filler filler that wasn’t even interesting and to put it plainly – all over the place.Īs mentioned before, the anime does not follow the manga series exactly but the first half of the series does to an extent. However, after that it just started to get a little tiring with all the missions they have to carry out. Instantly there is a dark and mysterious aura and it is well maintained throughout the entire series (except for the idiotic moments with the less than lovable extra staff at the Phantomhive household). The first and second episodes were indeed spectacular. If not for the amount of filler episodes that had been injected in due to the lack of material that had come out from the manga and the confusion in later episodes that still left me with many, many questions. The head of his house and company and Sebastian Michaelis, the demon butler who could do anything and together working for the Queen to solve mysteries and at the same time learning about Ciel’s past. Two-three years later they are still together Ciel Phantomhive the 12 (later 13) year old Earl also The story starts off with an eerie atmosphere, showing a 10 year old child who exchanges his soul for a demon butler to help exact his revenge against the people who killed his parents and humiliated him. Oh, and the obvious gay shinigami who keeps trying to kiss the butler. Time is running out to solve this mystery, and if the demonic duo doesn’t act fast, they’ll be treading some seriously rough waters.So, Kuroshitsuji is an anime that is labelled “shounen” but I don’t really know why - it’s filled with bishounens, pretty clothes and the fancy Victorian age backdrop with massive shounen ai and shota undertones. Worse yet, the flamboyant reaper Grell and his new partner, Ronald Knox, stand in their way. With more questions than answers, Ciel and Sebastian are up against not just one flesh-hungry corpse, but hundreds. Incognito amongst the mysterious Aurora Society, they find familiar faces and a sight they can’t believe-a woman raised from the dead! But surprise quickly turns to dread when the shambling corpse attacks.

All aboard to the next great adventure for Ciel and his demonic butler, Sebastian! After hearing rumors of a peculiar society bringing people back from the dead, the two board the luxury liner Campania on her maiden voyage to investigate.
