In a manor house on the outskirts of Victorian era London, butler Sebastian Michaelis serves Ciel Phantomhive, the twelve-year-old head of an English noble family and a toy and candy empire, who serves directly under the Queen. Sebastian carries out any task required by his master while solving the problems plaguing England with ease and perfection, because of his demonic lineage and Faustian contract with his master. - wikipedia
The Kuroshitsuji anime/manga by Yana Toboso got my attention because of the Victorian motiff and dark humor. First time I saw the anime, I easily fell in love with the series. The story is very mysterious and dark. The characters were very adorable especially the servants in the manor. I was actually surprised when it was revealed that they are actually very skilled in protecting their master and the household, even Tanaka which has just been revealed in the manga. I love it when Ciel and Sebastian is doing work together - the way Ciel orders Sebastian and the way Sebastian does his work.
Back then, anyone was fine, as long as they would be devoted to me and grant me my wishes... Anyone.
There are things that you cannot get back no matter how much you struggle. There is also despair that you cannot escape.
I love every character in the series. But one of my early favorites was Angelina Durless a.k.a. Madame Red. You shouldn't ask why because I think it's very obvious XD. That's why I was a little disappointed when she died - I don't care what she had done. I still like her. lol...
The last episode of the anime made me cry my eyes out. I started crying when Sebastian was ferrying Ciel somewhere. And while they were having their last conversation and while Ciel was waiting for Sebastian to finish their deal, I was like begging for Sebastian to stop it. haha... lol... Ciel is such a waste.
I was glad when it was announced that there would be another season for the anime. There were debates on how it could happen when Sebastian had already eaten Ciel's soul. There were some speculations that maybe Sebastian stopped (the screen went black while Sebastian was about to eat him, so we were never sure) and maybe gave Ciel more time, thus permitting for another season. But then, to my disappointment, it was announced that the new series would have a different butler and master. I was just disappointed because it wasn't Ciel and Sebastian. But I would still support the second series when it comes out.
