Review of Black Butler

My So-Far review of Kuroshitsuji.... Sorry, guys. I wanted to like it- I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE IT. I am a teenage otaku girl. I watch Hetalia (hence the username) , I watch Shounen such as Hunter x Hunter (a masterpiece... highly recommended) , One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist. I have seen Shoujo such as Clannad, Kanon, and Anohana. I have seen horror, such as Elfen Lied and Another. I have seen it all- covered every base, from Yaoi to violent fighting scenes. But this... this was not enjoyable for me. I watched 18 episodes- I couldn't suffer through any more of Ciel's irritating whining, Sebastian's gary-stu perfection, the workers'over-the-top fails (being done over. And over. And over again) .
I am going to be more specific in why I hated this.

~~The Good
The animation was breathtaking. It was some of the best I have ever seen. The detailed ruffles, the designs for the time period's clothing- it was a treat, honestly.
The hairstyles- amazing. The faces- amazing (although certain characters tended to look a bit alike). The proportions, the movement, the soft feel that it had while still being insanely intense- it was quite an experience. I absolutely adored it. But nice animation doesn't make a perfect show.
I also liked... ummm.... the dancing. It was pretty nice.
And that wraps up the good section :)

~~The Bad
Jesus Christ, where the ever-living Hannah do I start.
To begin-

CIEL PHANTOMHIVE. PERIOD.
For God's sakes, man, how long can you stay away from Sebastian? You claim that he is annoying and you want to be left alone, yet you're ALWAYS CALLING FOR HIM. "Sebastian, I want some cakes!" "Sebastian, I need you to solve this random mystery that has nothing to do with anything!" "Sebastian, I wanna have a party. Make it pretty and make it perfect." "Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian!!" SHUT UP!!! (But the way he dealt with Elizabeth, bringing me to my next topic, brought him some major swag points that he needed. You go, boy.)

Also, his betrothed. *Facedesk* If you thought Ciel was whiny, then day-yum. This chick is so whiny and bratty that I don't feel like spending my time talking about her. Just... just going to to move on.

You guys are gonna hate me, but I didn't like Sebastian.
Come on, how Gary-Stu does it get? Demon, check. Perfect, check. Amazing hair, check. Red eyes, check. Does everything perfect, check. Is a butler and does things for girly looking boys, CHECK. Please, just a tiny flaw...

The staff. Finny, Mey-Rin, and Bard. Sure, their stunts were pretty funny. Their failure to carry out Sebastian's not-so-simple tasks was pretty laughable... the first 5000 times it happened.
Dang, man. We get it. The gardener sucks at gardening, Mey-Rin can't pour tea because she's legally blind, and Bard... well, his food is a hazard. They're all clumsy, we get. Just please, make it more rare and change it up from time to time. PLEASE.

And, the story.
The story was all-right. I watched 18 episodes, but nothing really happened with the plot. All I saw was cross dressing 12 year olds, a perfect looking butler guy throwing forks, lots of whining from everyone (except Sebastian because he's just THAT perfect) , short shorts, more cross dressing, and lots of cats.
The story of Kuroshitsuji season 1 in a nutshell, everyone. Have fun.
