Here it is! My first anime review in this world. ^^
I'll be reviewing Kuroshitsuji, or Black Butler in English.
Summary :
The story revolves about a 13-year old boy Ciel Phantomhive during the Victorian Era. His parents were killed and he seeks revenge. Ciel made a contract with a demon named Sebastian Michaelis who plays the role as his butler.
Normally I don't like dark anime because I'm very bad at dealing with occult and blood but I decided to give this one a try.
Story :
The anime doesn't complete follow the anime, they've used some of the arcs but there are also anime-only characters and of course fillers. I don't have a problem with this but some people might so if you're not into that, you can still read the manga, which is also very good.
Even people who, just like me, usually don't like dark anime may enjoy this because there's also a lot humor in Kuroshitsuji, mainly in the anime.
Characters :
I adore almost every character in this anime, both their characters and looks are original. The cast itself is fairly small but there's a variety in types of characters, there's humans, demons, angels and even grim reapers.
Seiyuu : A lot of famous seiyuu's voiced a character in this anime. Some names you might recognize are : Daisuke Ono, Jun Fukuyama, Junichi Suwabe and Noriaki Sugiyama.
Music : Normally I won't listen to this kind of opera-ish music but it fit the Victorian Era very well. My favorite song is without doubt 'Si deus me reliquit'.
Ending ( only read if you have already seen this anime or you may be spoiled ! ) The ending of the anime was okay, the stereotype fight between angels and demons. Though it was a bit rushed towards the end and I would have liked to see more characters involved.
It was an open ending so it was pretty obvious there would be a sequel to the story.
That's about it for my first review, I hope you all enjoyed it. 8D
