What I liked about him though was how the producers practically used him as a doll to model fashion wear of the 19th century.īut these factors do not save them from being two dimensional characters. And he certainly does talk a lot of bull when it comes to why he is doing all this and such. After he SEDUCES A NUN to get information he certainly got my respect - the thought of him using such tactics was almost unthinkable (considering all the 'sexual tension' between him and his master). Sebastian is seriously one badass butler, the anti hero of our story he can do anything and I mean ANYTHING. ‘Sebastian’ as the butler’s name, that was so cliché and Ciel ‘Phantomhive’ - now that didn’t sound conspicuous at all did it? Well it certainly did humour me with these obvious names, but the characters themselves aren’t ones that you can laugh at. When I first heard Sebastian’s and Ciel’s names I laughed. Poor writing plagued the last three-quarters of the series, which is a real shame, considering how much I enjoyed the first six episodes. Plot twists came from nowhere, justifications and character motivations did not add up and I would end up sitting there by the end of the episode wondering what on earth has just happened. His personality wouldn’t allow him to do such an act, even if it were to benefit Ciel in the end. For someone who has made an unbreakable contract and who has already done about two years work for Ciel it was a unrealistic that he would leave Ciel. Take Sebastian’s sudden disappearance for example. Most of the second half’s story made absolutely NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. Now this is where it goes horribly wrong. The second half was written exclusively for the anime.

The second half of the series was entirely all filler filler that wasn’t even interesting and to put it plainly – all over the place.Īs mentioned before, the anime does not follow the manga series exactly but the first half of the series does to an extent. However, after that it just started to get a little tiring with all the missions they have to carry out.

Instantly there is a dark and mysterious aura and it is well maintained throughout the entire series (except for the idiotic moments with the less than lovable extra staff at the Phantomhive household). The first and second episodes were indeed spectacular. If not for the amount of filler episodes that had been injected in due to the lack of material that had come out from the manga and the confusion in later episodes that still left me with many, many questions. the head of his house and company and Sebastian Michaelis, the demon butler who could do anything and together working for the Queen to solve mysteries and at the same time learning about Ciel’s past. Two-three years later they are still together Ciel Phantomhive the 12 (later 13) year old Earl also The story starts off with an eerie atmosphere, showing a 10 year old child who exchanges his soul for a demon butler to help exact his revenge against the people who killed his parents and humiliated him. Oh, and the obvious gay shinigami who keeps trying to kiss the butler. So, Kuroshitsuji is an anime that is labelled “shounen” but I don’t really know why - it’s filled with bishounens, pretty clothes and the fancy Victorian age backdrop with massive shounen ai and shota undertones.
