The Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji)

A charming little series that I've only recently discovered, because I'm always late to the party.

The premise is that this kid, Ciel, who owns a toy company (And is therefore super rich, of course) has a butler that's over-talented. But that's only because, in reality, Sebastian, the butler, is a demon.

It's pretty cool. In which other series can you hear the line "She's possesed by the evil spice." anyway?

Do you guys know about it? Do you like it?
You and me both. What won me over, btw, is the dub's use of European accents. English, Italian, etc. It's a nice touch.

I'm currently in episode 9 of the subs and slowly trying to finish it.
Episode 9? Yeah, things are pretty innocent up 'til then.

It gets really creepy, later on XD

ya and a little complicated 2.......ter r lots of twists and turns in this anime but still i liked it...i hv finished seeing te entire first season till ep 12 i think........
I just finished season 1, and I've never laughed so hard at a "final boss" character!
You mean the transexual crazy angel?

Huh, that does sound pretty funny XD

I'm hoping season 2 gets dubbed. It's a pretty good show.
I Love That Anime Grell Ftw! Shes So Scary And Awesome In The Same Time! i Used To Think She Was a Guy
Grell is a guy.

He's just very obviously flamboyantly gay, that's all (And that's no exagerration)

Surprisingly, I found Grell to be one of the most enjoyable character XD

Oh Snap I Knew That a Yeah Lol Very True!
I do love listening to Grell in the Japanese version. The dub is kind of annoying. I don't know if the dub can perfect his, "OHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" very well.

But I love the dub's use of accents. Oh wait, I mentioned that already.

And yes, the angel. That funny funny angel.
Season 1 was just epik all the way through. But comparing the first season to the second, the first is better. In my opinion they should have just left it with season 1 though; the ending for that was good enough.

"Yes, your highness!"

My 1,000th post, been saving it for something at least half decent Lips_sealed

EDIT: oh i remember why i liked the first better now. Its because the second had some whiny weakling kid in there as an antagonist/rival to Ciel.

And if you like this anime as much as I do then watch season 2 but pretend it never existed... even the explanation for why there is a season 2 sucked in my opinion.
I already know about Season 2, and i agree that it shouldn't have ended like that...It should have been left on Season 1.
That's kind of a point that troubles me. I'm waiting for the dub to come out, but doesn't
Kind of weird...
You haven't watched Season 2 subbed?
I actually hate subs. I don't watch an anime to read the anime (The only exceptions to that being Bleach and maybe Gintama)

Besides, it's one of the rare dubbing that actually has accents for the various countries people come from, you gotta appreciate that XD

In my opinion, you should watch the sub. It is like watching Code Geass dubbed, you don't really feel anything if they say "Yes, your highness"/"Yes, your majesty" in English; the japanese accent just makes it all so worth it. Plus the voice acting is not that bad! Oh and not to mention this.

Also, we won't ruin it, that's what wikipedia is for lol. But your REALLY going to hate the reason on why season 2 even existed; it was all so terrible.

But to contradict my statement, I haven't read the manga yet; so it is possible that they are basing it off that, and if so then I guess there really will be a season 3. Although I really doubt that the anime is based on the manga after season 1 (or based on the manga at all (it doesn't feel like it)).
i can say tat tis anime is gud....but it still wnt come near fairy tail...black butler is gud but it is sort of complicated(especially if u miss one episode..)...sry if i double posted.....
I thought Sebastian always say "Yes,my lord" anyway,Keji can you give me a link fro the second season.During February,I watched the last (English ver)of this anime on Animax and Sebastian took Ciel's Soul right?Maybe in the second season he got anothermaster

No, Ciel is alive, from stuff I've read on Wikipedia and jolly spoilers from a friend of mine.

I'm guessing they'll give an excuse...I hope.

Ah! Now that made sense. When you jumped in here and gave the comparison with that anime, I thought, "WTH"; because it just seemed quite rude to go around into other anime threads and compare them with the no.1 anime(s)/manga(s)..

Late reply.. but they do indeed. As I have mentioned (in my opinion) that excuse sucks big time.
the london fire was really, really creepy and the queen's demise as well as when sebastian comes and snatches the bullets out of the air and says "your right master its not over yet"
This show is just plain amazing.
Im starting to love the ending song.
