Now, For our talk:

  “I Am One Hell of A Butler!”..The trademark sentence of the main chara of this great anime, Sebastian Michaelis..And it`s not that wrong indeed..!

Kuroshitsuji, as for time of story, occurs in the time between 1899 and 1901, In England, when it was still the Great Empire where sun never sets! It revolves around the noble 12-years-old young boy, Ciel Phantomhive, the head of the English noble family Phantomhive, who has a butler called Sebastian Michaelis, who`s a very skilled, intelligent, powerful and talented butler whom anyone would be proud to have someone like him..But, surely there`s kind of mystery around that young master and his butler..

The mystery is simple: The butler is a demon, whom Ciel made a contract with, to be hi s own butler and bodyguard, to help him achieve his wish which is unknown till now, in exchange for..for what? his soul of course! it wouldn`t be fair if the price wasn`t the soul u know! :D

The sign of the contract is a pentacle drawn on the iris of Ciel`s right eye, by which he can call Sebastian for help and obligate him to obey his orders..

And as long as Sebastian is a butler, there must me other servants other than himself! and those servants are:

Brad: The cook of Phantomhive`s household..He has an outgoing and fine character, but he`s jealous of Sebastian and tries to be better than him in work, but it ends up with a disaster usually, like burning food etc..and of course, Sebastian wins!

Fini: The gardener of Phantomhive`s household..a young guy who works most of the time to make the garden of the palace great-looking, but in vain as u may expect! Looks a bit feminine, that I even was thinking he`s a woman till I read on Wiki that he`s a guy!! Ironic, nee?!

Meirin (or Meilin I dunno): She`s the maid of the household..She has a long sight, so She wears these huge glasses! Very clumsy and never does anything right..Has a crush on Sebastian, who has no time for such stuff u know :D She`s very shy too, and thats what I like about her <3

 

 

 

Tanaka-san: The steward of the household..Actually does nothing in the house but drinking Green Tea XDD He usually looks like a dwarf (!) but he has a real form which called (Real Tanaka-san), in which he says serious stuff, which are really rare..!

 

 

 

 

In the past, Ciel`s parents died in a fire started in their household. Before it, they were a happy little family, and Ciel was cuter and funnier than now..and seems he started his contract with Sebastian after that accident. Sebastian is very loyal (?) to Ciel, which Sebastian explained as a kind of relationship between a demon and his prey, saying he`ll protect, serve and follow him to the very end, even to the deeps of Hell..!

Ciel in fact is a “Guard Dog” for Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. He solves the mysteries of some very creepy and mysterious crimes, like the case of Jack The Ripper..And thats what I like about the series indeed..!

 

In General, I rate Kuroshitsuji as a Great Anime! Good drawings, good creepy (Sebastian and Ciel) and comedy characters (the three servants), and a normal, but interesting, storyline..In Fact, it reminds me of the nice old days of Darker Than BLACK series..! And I strongly recommend this show for watching!

Thanks!
