way too often.Īlthough this one is worse compared to S1 it does two things right. In fact here Sebastian is VERY conscious of his sexual appeal and weaponizes it.

can get over the whiny brat (doesn't matter, just pick one.) that is all there is and the show doesn't shy away from that premise.

You have the same aesthetic, same style, characters from S1 return AND you get double the fun with not just one hell of a butler but two. One thing you'll notice in every single review of S2 is this line (this is fanfiction, it's not from the manga.) This line sums up the entire season. No not Ciel, the other kid! Yes, we're doing this again only with a "we are not so different" kind of mirror image rival. Season two of the 13 year old that signed his soul away to a demon for some muddled reason he never follows through on until the finale. It's such a classic and for any fan of supernatural or drama or action or even BL. Overall, I always highly recommend Black Butler to anyone starting anime for the first time. What purpose do they even have in this plot? Literally nothing. Maybe they're better in the manga but there's something really lacking in their interactions. They are the weakest link in this entire franchise. Thankfully they're not super involved in the plot, but whenever they did show up, I felt myself zoning out and feeling bored. I'm not necessarily super interested in the Grim Reaper scenes which is where I dock points. Even the comic relief moments had appropriate soundtracks. The action is also so much better I would actually be interested and on the edge of my seat for various portions of it.Ībove all, the music!!! I also love Black Butler soundtracks but this season was even better than the first in terms of sound. Ciel are genuinely closer and surprisingly care about each other. There are clear differences in character dynamics from the first season. The visuals here are even better than the first season, and the character development keeps getting better. it has been a fun ride!!! I love Sebastian and Ciel so much, they are my OTP!!! Judge me all you want, but I was here for the fan service and I stayed for the content <3 <3 <3 I've officially seen all the Black Butler anime content and I have to say. FINALLY got around to finishing this season and with that Black Butler comes to a close.
