About demons and otherworldly...

I rarely talk about films and series that I like. Let's begin!

Part 1. Facts

Title: Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)

Author: Toboso Yana

Year: 2006 (manga); 2008 (first film adaptation)

Genres: Action, Detective, History, Comedy, Mystery

Part 2. Plot

An alternative England of the 19th century appears before the reader/viewer. The events of the Victorian era shroud in darkness the fate of Ciel Phantomhive, a boy of 12 years old. As befits an earl, Phantomhive has several servants in his service, among which the butler Sebastian Michaelis stands out in a special way. Whatever happens in Phantomhive Manor, the affairs of the young master, or even England, Sebastian is able to handle the impossible. 'Cause he's «just a damn good butler»

Part 3. Let's talk about the abstract or Nonsense by CH

Anime

As far as I remember, this anime was recommended to me as a joke. And this joke is out of control.

I wasn't particularly impressed with the first season, because I felt some kind of understatement. Yes, the story was logically completed, but there were too many white spots. The mystery of the Phantomhive tragedy is a confusing thing and I suspected that the creators did not manage with one season. And so it turned out, I found 2 more seasons and 2 full-length films.

The second season, as it turned out, wasn't based on the manga at all, and as a beginner, it confused me even more. Therefore, for those who are watching for the first time, I advise you to postpone the second season somewhere at the very end (may a ton of slippers from fans of the history of the Trancy house not fly at me)

The third season, called the Book of Circus, is currently my favorite. For the most part, it was filmed exactly according to the original source and therefore retained such a fragile line between comedy and tragedy that haunts the adventures of the young master and his faithful butler throughout absolutely the entire story. I recommend watching it immediately after the first season.

The Book of Murder and The Book of the Atlantic, in my opinion, deserve separate posts, so I will say briefly, they are definitely worth the time spent. And yes, when watching The Book of the Atlantic, don't be surprised by the obviousness of some plot twists that will accidentally spoil it in the first season.

Manga

The first chapters were released in 2006, so this year the work celebrates its seventeenth anniversary. To be honest, I admire the progress of the author and really like to simply look at the pages of history. But we don't forget about the plot either. The original source explains what is happening much faster and more clearly, and the characters themselves look a little more beautiful and livelier, brighter. For the most part, the first time I needed the manga was to put everything that was happening in the anime in my head and understand what was going to follow. Now I started reading it more for the plot.

Part 4

The most profitable (in my opinion) viewing order:

Kuroshitsuji (2008)

Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus (2014)

Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder (2015)

Kuroshitsuji Movie: Book of the Atlantic (2017)

Additionally:

Kuroshitsuji II (2010)

Kuroshitsuji II The Tale of Will the Shinigami (OVA)

+ several other small stories that are easy to find on the Internet (OVA)

P.S. I am attaching some moments from the manga and the opening of the third season

I love that Ronald used the right pronouns for grell. Like, feel like not many people used it. And it is so cute

From chapter 150.

Growth. Beautiful.

Happy 15th anniversary!

Let's stay here 'till the final call

WHAT-

YANA-SAN LIKES INAZUMA ELEVEN?!  HUH?!

イナズマイレブン

A moment to once again appreciate the wonderful appearance of Sebastian with glasses...

Ah… you know

Just needed to make this

I was listening to White Night from HSR and thinking about how well it could do as op for the current arcs (everything since Boy band arc) in Black Butler

And now I can't stop thinking how if we get final season it would be so cool for last opening to be fully in English

or at least ending in English (like Fly me to the moon or Come, sweet death from NGE)

I think parts of it were planned from the beginning, but she avoided any big hints, until after the Red Butler arc because it wasn’t till that was over that BB got cleared for a long serialization.

In retrospect, it's kinda funny how obvious the twin theory became in this arc, but back then I legitimately thought that the "other Ciel" in the chessboard scene was just symbolic for Ciel's past innocent self or something like that.

YANA’ S BIGGEST PIECE OF FORESHADOWING YET!!!!

Pics from chapters 7 and 213 respectively.

one thing i saw on tiktok and would like to share is that art of yana, which was made in honour of ono daisuke's netsuretsu answer videoclip, released in december 2010.

while sebastian is wearing onod's clothes, ciel is wearing the boy's rabbit costume from the video !!

found this on twitter and i need to share bc omg wHY ARE THEY SO PRECIOUS OOUGH

So, @simpforsimeon and I kinda made a AU where Twisted Wonderland, and two of our OCs, are Helluva Boss characters.

The name of the AU is Helluva Wonderland.

We even have some roles out for them, like, my main OC is Verosika Mayday, Chesna/William (their OC) is Blitzo, Epel is Loona, Riddle is Mrs. Mayberry, Ace is Millie, Deuce is Moxxie, Crewel is Asmodeus, Crowley is Robo and Real Fizzarolli, Lilia is Stolas, Sebek is Stella, Silver is Octavia, Sam is Wally Wackford, and Jack is Striker.

I think Floyd would be Jarold Mayberry because I, and @simpforsimeon, ship Floyd and Riddle.

The roles we have left are;

- Lin

- Joe

- Sallie May

- Paimon

- Cash Buckzo (Blitzo's father)

- Verosika's Posse (Josh, Coco, Apple, Kat, Milky, Kiki and Ace)

- Lyle

- Loopty

- Cletus

- Collin

- Keenie

- Deerie

- Barbie Wire

- Andrealphus.

And the Twisted Wonderland Characters we have left are;

- Trey

- Cater

- Che'nya

- Neige

- Vil

- Rook

- Vargas

- Trein

- Kalim

- Ambrose

- Cheka

- Leona

- Kalim

- Jamil

- Jade

- Azul

- Eliza

- Ruggie

- Grim

- the Dwarfs (Dominic, Shelpy, Hop, Snick, Toby, Gran and Timmy)

- Najma.

Maybe you guys, my viewers and @simpforsimeon 's viewers can help us with which TWST Characters fit the role of the HB Characters for the roles as I will be writing down the roles.

Now note that I will update this post when we get new Helluva Boss characters from new future episodes.

Edit 1: Yuu is Martha, Malleus is Ralphie

Edit 2: Vortex is Miss Yuu (Named Yuna, she's Yuu's lil sis)

Edit 3: Idia and Ortho are Agents 1 and 2

Crossover

("The Black Butler"/"Star Wars")

The Sith Lord chose a vengeful padawan. In the Jedi temple, our Ciel did not prove himself very well as a capable padawan, no one has chosen him as a padawan yet, unlike his older brother. He was taken by a Jedi master (the Undertaker).

And the Middleford family hails from Mandalore.
