Update March 22
It was announced that the new Kuroshitsuji anime will be both a TV series and an OVA series.
The TV series is subtitled Book of Circus and will air July 2014 in the Animeism block. It will adapt the Noah's Ark Circus Arc, picking the manga story back up from the point at which they diverged. This arc immediately follows the Curry Contest Arc in the manga, which ended at episode 15 in the first season of the anime.
The OVA is subtitled Book of Murder and will pre-screen in theaters Fall 2014. It will adapt the Phantomhive Manor Murder Case Arc, which follows the circus arc in the manga.

season 2 was pretty much garbage ..not sure i will touch this again.
I agree that season 2 was garbage (I think I dropped it before even finishing the first ep) but that was because it was completely anime original.
Being an avid fan of the manga, I recommend you to give this adaptation a try because it is soooooooo much better than the anime original crap they come up with.

Hopefully it'll be more than just the circus arc. I really, REALLY, want to see the zombies, and put the
It's called "Book of Circus" I really doubt it. The arc after that is being animated too, in OVAs, "Book of Murder". At this point in time, I really doubt anything will come after that. It all depends on how they sell/what A-1 wants to do, I guess.

This is good but I really hope they add in extra appearances and cameos from Grell who hardly appears in the manga at all. He's totally my favourite of all time!
That or they do the ship voyage arc as well as the circus one. Because in the manga for the circus arc there's no Grell at all!!!
Considering how much they butchered Grelle in the anime, I really hope they don't put him in the Circus Arc.

After the way season two went compared to the first one i am almost worried about what they will do it when they animate such a great arc. i think it could go either way, either good like the first season or bad like the second. i saw that it was coming out on May 7th, is that right or no?
No. It's coming out sometime in July this year.
