Review of Black Butler

This is my first review and I choose to write it about the anime "Kuroshitsuji" Or "Black Butler". So let's get on with it, yes? ~STORY & CHARACTERS~ Both rating 8/10 The story itself was overall enjoyable, though it's not something "completely" unheard of before. The anime "Chrono Crusade" has a slightly similar plot. I think what makes Kuroshitsuji different was the characters. To me the characters were mostly all lovable, even Ciel was, though at times he was an annoying little brat. But that was part of his charm ^^;; I absolutely LOVED Sebastian. I mean, there's literally nothing he can't do xD. And he's alwaysso cool and calm about it :P

~ART~ Rating 9/10
I loved the art. I think I loved the outfits the most due the old Victorian era feel to them. Especially Ciel, Elizabeth and Sebastian were always very well dressed. The character design was nice and simple, but elegant enough to fit the context of late 19th century London. THOUGH, sometimes the men, namely for example Ciel, Finny and Ash, were drawn a little too feminine for my taste and I think that's why I gave the art only a 9 and not a 10. The scenery was beautiful and well done, which I appreciate very much in any anime ^^

~SOUND~ Rating 10/10
All of the chosen theme songs fit the series quite well. I liked the ending songs the most, especially "Lacrimosa" by Kalafina. I thought it was very befitting of Kuroshitsuji: the darkish and mysterious feel without being downright emo. Also the voice acting was great. Every character had the "right" voice, as in the one that suited them the most in my opinion. I was extremely glad that Ciel didn't have the typical "little boy" girly voice, because it would probably made me enjoy his character a lot less ^^;;. The sound effects and others were all great as well.

~ENJOYMENT~ Rating 10/10
Hell yeah I enjoyed it :D. It's very hard for me to come by an anime I truly enjoy (Yes I'm picky =__=") And I had my doubts about Kuroshitsuji at first. But I definitely don't regret watching it. It made me laugh (a lot), it frustrated me (^^;), it even made me cry (can't say why :X) and that, to me, proves it's a good anime. Plus all of the things I mentioned above. It's most definitely worth watching.

~OVERALL~ Rating 9/10
Absolutely a "must-watch". Period. :P Everything coordinates so well, no matter how odd some things and/or characters are.
