Hello there my fellow Otaku friends I am Lucy-Chan the other Lucy of this blog group and I am crazy about well anything nerdy. I like Marvel, Amine (duh), all movies, comics/manga, going to conventions, cosplaying and hanging out with all my friends.
(WARNING: SPOILERS, A LOT OF SPOILERS)
Black butler is an amazing anime with both suspense, comedy, demons and mystery.
To summarise a bit, the anime is set in the 1800s and is about a boy called Ciel Phantomhive who was kidnapped by a group of people - who torture children for their own amusement - right after his parents were murdered in a fire that had destroyed their entire mansion. The orphaned boy had then made a deal with a demon called Sebastian, the deal was that in return for his soul, Sebastian had to always protect him and be his butler till the day that Ciel had gotten revenge on the people who had murdered his parents and destroyed his home.
The story begins when Ciel had first made the deal with Sebastian, to seal their deal Ciel had gotten a mark on his right eye and Sebastian had gotten the same mark but on his left hand. Sebastian had then killed all of the people who had tortured Ciel and had taken him back to his home in London. It then starts properly a few years later in the Phantomhive manor were Sebastian is acting as Ciel's butler as agreed and is waking him up. During his new time period, Ciel has now taken over his father's business in making toys and sweets, Ciel is now working as the Queen's guard dog (which means that he is like a private investigator).It then shows Sebastian going around doing all of the chores such as cleaning, cooking, ironing and gardening. On that same day Ciel was going to have a visitor coming to have a meeting about the business. This visitor is an Italian man who is actually a spy who had been sent to try and get ahold of some personal information. When Ciel is having his visitor over he starts to suspect him of being a spy so sends Sebastian to deal with him. Sebastian soon discovored the Italian mans plan to ruin Ciel's family business. Sebastian then used his demon powers to torture and haunt the spy to death.
The rest of the episodes all have a similar plot to the first;
-There's a problem with Ciel's father's business or the Queen sends them cases to solve
- They go and investigate
- Ciel gets captured (It's like he wants Sebastian to save him)
-Sebastian saves him (LIKE A BOSS!)
- The problem is solved
- They then find out something shocking so that it then leads to the next episode
IT IS JUST THE SAME!!!!
But it is still enjoyable and will definitely keep your eyes glued to the screen
There is also a couple more Black butler series such as Black butler 2 and Black butler: Book of circus.
Black butler 2 is the sequel to the first Black butler. It is about a boy called Aloise Trancy who had the same horrible fate as Ciel as a child except he was kidnapped as a baby and his parents weren't murdered, instead Aloise was first brought up as a slave and then later on was then captured again and raped by Earl Trancy who used him horribly. It was then that Aloise had made the exact same deal as Ciel with another demon called Claude Faustus who later ends up killing him. Now I know what you softies out there are thinking, "Oh that poor poor boy", WELL NO NO HE IS NOT POOR OR INNOCENT HE IS A SELFISH ARROGANT LITTLE DIVA CHICKEN!!!!! HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANY OF HIS SERVANTS, IS A LIER, A CHEATER AND A CRY BABY!!!!
I swear to god this boy is really annoying because I mean at first he acts all high and mighty but near the end of the series he completely breaks down and begs to Claude for help because he doesn't want to die but yet ends up dying and taking over Ciel's body, just what on earth is wrong with him. (DRAMA QUEEN) =-O
Here is some info about some of the characters;
Sebastian
To me Sebastian would have to be my favourite character, he's strong, handsome and a demon what more could I ask for. In the manga it is a fact that Sebastian had made himself look like Ciel's father so that Ciel would be more comfortable around him and trust him more. It is also a fact that in the dubbed version of black butler, Sebastian's voice actor was the same dubbed voice actor for Kyoya Ootori from Ouran High School Host Club. He has black hair and red eyes that glow red when he is in BOSS mode, he also wears white gloves as well mostly so he can cover up his contract mark on his hand.
Ciel
The story of Black butler is definitely based on Ciel and his past and how he tries to solve the case of his parents murder. Ciel is 12 years old though in black butler 2 he is 13, he is very short for his age and wears an eye patch over his right eye to hide the contract mark in his eyeball. He is always gloomy because of his past but his fiancé Elizabeth always manages to make him a smile a little. Also he can be a little jerk at times.
Grell
I love Grell he/she (I DON'T KNOW HIS/HER GENDER, AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!) is hilarious especially when he/she tries to prove his/her love to Sebastian. Grell is a reaper who likes the colour red, killing people and Bassy (A name that he/she calls Sebastian to flirt with him). Grell would have to be one of the stupidest characters of the anime because of his/her failed attempts at love towards Sebastian (kinda reminds me of Juvia from Fairy tail). Grell works as a reaper and used to work alongside William.T.Spears.
The anime Black butler was so popular that Japan had actually made it into a live-action movie. I haven't seen the movie yet but from the looks of the trail it looks AWSOME!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
Well that's all I've got to say towards the anime Black butler and I hope that you Otakus out there try it and enjoy it as much as I did because seriously this is one of the most popular animes out there so please give it a try or else Sebastian will probably hunt you down and possible kill you. ;-)
(P.S. This anime was originally supposed to be a yaoi but the company had changed it half way, just to say)
LUCY-CHAN OUT!!!!!
