Synopsis

Tucked away in the English countryside lies the ominous manor of the Phantomhives, a family which has established itself as the cold and ruthless "Queen's Watchdog" as well as the head of London's criminal underground. After a tragedy leaves the Earl and his wife dead, many are shocked when their son, a young boy named Ciel, claims his place as the new Earl of the Phantomhive house. At first, many perceive him only as a child surrounded by a few eccentric servants. But they soon begin to realize that it is foolish to meddle with Ciel and his demonic butler Sebastian.

Taking place at the end of the 19th century, Kuroshitsuji follows these two as they face countless mysteries and dangers that plague England and threaten the Queen, uncovering the truth about what really happened to Ciel's parents in the process.

Preliminary (199/? eps)
I reacently finished the anime and thought "OMG this is actually a really good anime, but i dont really get the thing with season 1,2 nd 3" so then i did a bit of reasench and understood that it is in a similar situation as blue exorcist. the anime had an anime only ending, then had a compleatley filler season 2 with a not so great ending, but even so i still fell in love with the series even if it had its wrongs, and i felt bad that it became this extreamley underrated in my opinion, sereis. then i found out that the manga ...

Preliminary (115/? eps)
...I wish I liked this series better than I do. Aspects of it, and a few entire arcs, are great enough that I want the whole thing to be a masterpiece. But as it stands, there's just too many things I dislike about the series for me to pursue it any further. This is long, so if you want a short version of this review, there's a TL;DR at the bottom.

Viewed holistically, it isn't bad by any means; I can understand why it has so many fans. I don't care much for fanservice (as much as I like bishonens), but for those who do, or ...

Preliminary (140/? eps)
It’s no surprise that Black Butler is popular. It’s a story full of mystery, cool Victorian-era fashion, death and destruction, and a sexy, sexy butler.

Well, not just a sexy, sexy, butler. Also a sexy, sexy 12 year old boy.

Ah shit, I just acknowledged the elephant in the room.

Okay, so…

I’m not usually one to complain about fanservice in animanga. I’m not a fan, but complaining about fanservice is like talking to a brick wall. It’s just part of the story, so if you don’t like it, either ignore it or don’t read it. At the end of the day, it’s not real nor ...
