Imagine my surprise, then, when the setup for Black Butler II, including the opening, featured nothing that I knew and loved about Black Butler. I enjoyed Ciel and Sebastian’s story, despite the issues in characterization and thematic consistency, and the thought of seeing more had me eagerly pressing “play next” on my Netflix queue. Though Black Butler wasn’t devoid of problems, I was excited to see that the series Black Butler II existed. Who exactly is the mysterious Claude, and what connection does he have with Alois?Īmid the web of lies and deceit running rampant in the mansion, the bond between Alois and Claude will be tested as hell itself arrives at their doorstep. And rightfully so, because things in the Trancy household are not as they appear, starting with Alois’ black-clad butler with supernatural abilities, Claude Faustus. However, there are certain individuals who doubt Alois’ story and legitimacy. Kidnapped and forced into slavery at a young age, he was eventually rescued and returned home, only to have his beloved father pass away soon after. Though he is privileged now, such was not always the case for the hot-tempered boy. The stage of Kuroshitsuji II opens on the life of Alois Trancy, the young heir to the Trancy earldom.

Where I watched: Netflix (English dub and sub available) Source: Original (characters by Yana Toboso), based on Kuroshitsuji manga. Genres: Action, Psychological, Suspense, Supernatural
Original airing: July 2nd, 2010 to September 17th, 2010 As maligned as this series is, I was challenged to defend my opinion of it. Day into night, sugar into salt, living to dead, and a hated show into a thought provoking review. Today I review the poorly received sequel to the much loved Black Butler.
