Well, it's back to normal life again for Ciel. After spending all tha time at the school, it almost feels refreshing that he's back at his mansion with Sebastian. Good to also see familiar faces back like Mey-Rin.

After all the drama this season, they also went out to town so this kinda serves as a reunion celebration. Sebastian is still doing butler work like he's born to do. Pretty chill finale. Ending scenes seemed interesting, teasing the next arc.

Final time seeing Sebastian for a while :(

At the bottom floor of Phantomhive Manor, Sebastian, Mey-Rin, Baldroy, Snake, and Tanaka are in the kitchen preparing a special dish. Sebastian asks Mey-Rin to hand him the Fortnum and Mason Royal Blend. She opens the cupboard but hesitates, unable to see clearly. Just then, Finnian arrives and informs Sebastian that he has picked the herbs. Sebastian instructs him to wash them, and Finnian promptly complies. Sebastian then goes to wake Ciel. After briefing Ciel on his schedule for the day, Sebastian requests that Ciel replace Mey-Rin's inferior glasses and Finnian's shabby hat.

Damn did this episode feel like a season one episode. I mean it's been a while since we've not only been in the mansion but also with all of Ciel's servants. Even Agni and Soma came back, and in usual Agni and Soma fashion... be Agni and Soma lol. Also got Sebastian being concerned for our girl Mey-Rin and best boy Finny and their accessories... aw. Lots of callbacks to the Book of Murder this episode for some odd reason. Glad they did though, because it led to the most Sebastian thing ever, him being the horse of the carriage... LMAO. Pretty nice place to end things off on, all things considered. Expect for that post-credit scene... don't know what the fuckk is going on, but the next arc is already looking fire based off that.

One of the better revivals of old franchises this decade, so glad we got more of this, and we have even more on the way according to leaks. Can't wait for it!

thought there would be announcement of new anime because the part after ED seems to show the next arc (w. the fox and the forest), but it was musical of this arc instead.

Edit: the part shown after the ED was actually part of announcement but waited until Anime Expo to officially announce it.

Nice episode to allow for some breather and to show a normal routine in Ciel's life, loved the focus on servants, even just for a bit, and a reminder of other characters. Snake with his new large bag... so cute.

Also, the start for the next arc! Hyped.

An epilogue to end the season with the focus on the phantomhive houseworkers. Mey-Rin got a new pair of glasses and the other got new stuff as well. We got a bit of infodrop of Ciel's grandmother and got to see Irene again too. Sad not much Elizabeth and just only one scene with her. Got a glimpse into next arc too at the end there.

Good season overall and was fun to see this back after a while. Hopefully they'll give us new season sooner this time and hopefully we'll also have more Elizabeth then.

It's nice to see familiar faces like Mey-Rin again. The German at the end of the episode is great. They can't possibly be planning to speak German in the next arc, right?!

Sebastian is not only a hell of a butler, but he's also a hell of an advertiser and promoter lol. I also love how Ciel got each of the members of the Phantomhive household something that they needed or wanted, as a request from Sebastian since he's keeping an eye on everyone's needs.

This season was so much fun! I'm quite sad that it has come to an end and I hope we can get the next season minimum next year! I’m hoping that we won't wait years. Take care everyone and stay safe.

So, besides the horrendous pacing this season had I'm glad it was overall a fairly good adaptation. Then again WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE DEAL WITH THE FUCKING WHITE TITAN THEY ANIMATED FOR THE OPENING??? WHOSE FUCKING IDEA WAS THAT???

Honestly, this arc was just as boring as it was in the manga. I did not enjoy this season, plot progression felt very insignificant and dragged out, animation was lacking overall, and the overuse of blur all over the backgrounds and characters sometimes gave me motion sickness, pretty much a step down from Book of Circus & Atlantic in every way.

@Cestlavie_
I just came on to say this, it's about time we see the legend herself live!! It will be interesting to see who will be her voice actor, and I'm already liking the hints of the use of German in the ending scene.

Honestly I found this arc to be the least interesting overall in contrast to the other arcs in the manga, so seeing this season play out was a pleasant surprise. Thoroughly enjoyed this season as someone who has been following the franchise for over 10 years (literally the one that introduced me to anime in the first place).

Hopefully we don't wait long, Emerald Witch is my personal favorite arc in the manga. At the same time, I don't mind waiting for a while if it means that the anime quality keeps on getting better.

Yeah, same, I loved the use of German, I only got into Black Butler 2 years ago, but it quickly became one of my favorites as soon as I watched book of the Atlantic. yh, I do think this arc is the weakest of the series, but the anime still made it worthwhile, especially the last episode ,and who knows they may one day adapt that big twist later on in the manga

Sebastian covering Ciel's eyes over a sexy magazine made me giggle.
I am quite contented with this finale episode (with Soma in the first moments of it) as the whole Phantomihive household went to go shopping to promoting Ciel's new perfume, which was thanks to his ever gorgeous butler, Sebastian. And I kinda like the sneak peak regarding the werewolves too. I just really hope though that it won't take another 10 years for the next season to come out if ever. Til' then, Sebastian and Ciel! 🖤

They animated the shopping episode to close the season, not bad.

▫We remain at the doors of the witches' arch; In the manga, I'm starting it, so I hope it takes a while for Kuroshitsuji to return to let me advance. 😅

That was a nice light-hearted episode. It's all downhill down to hell from here on.

AM I the only one who is frustrated this sequel was called Public School Arc and doesn't have "Book" in title. Like it could have been called Book of Academia or something. I hope the next sequel is called Book of the Witch.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

Good anime episodes always go so fast, this didn't even feel like 23minutes *_* as the manga hasn't progressed for a while now so this anime was good timing and it was nice to see these things happening in anime version of it. Next one must be Emerald Witch Arc if they happen to adapt more (but i don't think it will happen in the nearby future, considering how it took eternity to animate even this one). Anyways if it would happen, it will be easy to do so as there is plenty of material to catch up on.

Perfect way to end the season, just have a relaxing episode with everyone shopping, and tidbits of plot here and there.

Now, they ended with a cliffhanger, I really hope we get another season, or at least announce it soon.

This ‘Public School Arc’ was a fabulous comeback, and now we’re teased with the ‘Green Witch Arc.’ I’m so excited for the next arcs to be animated!!! Even with the manga on hiatus for now, this teaser will garner people into the series!

A slice of life episode.

Gorgeous shots of all the architecture. Just beautiful. Everything about the backgrounds this season was just top notch.

The whole shopping montage, this scratches all my itches. Loved that too.

Sebastian the unicorn flying during Romeo x Juliet ... it going viral resulting in mass demand for perfume? Wonderful.

He's hell of a butler, and I want more.

Hmm the after credits is showing Germany and maybe Werewolves?

Please ... announce another arc, we need more Sebastian! Please keep the production team that made this one of the most beautiful anime of the 2024 Spring season.
