Kuroshitsuji Picture Drama · review
First off, this is pretty difficult to find, not only on the internet, but even on MAL itself. If you find yourself here, congratulations! You're a pretty big fan of Kuroshitsuji to make it this far. For those of you that want to watch it, it's just one crack episode that's shorter than a regular anime episode, so if you're a fan, I reccomend giving it a try. That being said, this short is not animated. It's a 'live voice acting'. The voice actors of the sub got up on stage and did a live voice acting session for a short crack episode, featuring illustrationsby Yana Toboso. It may not sound very appealing, but it's really very fun and interesting to watch.
To begin with, the story is funny. To be honest, it's just plain crack, but if you've ever read any fanfiction, you have probably come across worse. It maintains its crack aspect without having to sacrifice the plot. It has a 'Valentine's Day' theme and it followers through with it til the end; it's never boring' it's always fun and engaging.
The art is very pretty, and while it's not animated, the stills are drawn really well and are captivating. You can easily follow the story with her picture; it's like a live manga reading.
The sound is amazing. The VAs really put in their effort and all the characters sound amazing. The minimal background music was also great.
The characters, of course, were supposed to be crack, but they somehow retained some part of their identities, making Yana shine even more with her amazing writing skills.
Lastly, I enjoyed this a lot.
I would recommend this if you: are a kuroshitsuji fan, you like voice actors, you like crack anime
I Would NOT recommend this if you: don't like kuroshitsuji, you don't like crack humor
Have a great day everyone!
