Review of Black Butler

Of course Kuroshitsuji. The thing that almost got me into anime entirely. Kuroshitsuji is about a boy named Ciel Phantomhive and his butler named Sebastian Michealis. Who is trying to get his revenge for who killed his parents. Which is Sebastian's soul purpose in this show. This is where it gets interesting. I realized in the first 10 episodes in this series were really....Slow. For instance in ep. 1 You get to meet the characters and the setting time and place and all that. You even get to see a murder happen in place! This is where Kuroshitsuji fails. It gets so repeitive in its work. For instance, Ciel isthe 'Queen's guard dog.' Which makes Ciel kinda.. 'used' in the story line. Every 5 or so episodes is about him trying to solve a case against someone that has no meaning to the story. Until about episodes 17-25 you will see that that begins to shift.

Kuroshitsuji has its fails and its wins.

Wins:

-Interesting plot

-Interesting characters

-Many memorable places

-Varied races/classes

Fails:

- Repetitive to the bone.

- Slightly bland.

The Art style is......okay Its not the best segoi thing i have ever seen in my life. But it will pass

The sounds are actually okay. They sound like they are in actual London and fit in with the story line.

Characters are unique and have value to them. Which helps more to the story line.

My personal enjoyment was a factor too. I actually enjoyed watching Kuroshitsuji. (Episode 17 was a bit....rough.) I would recommend this first season to anyone getting into anime. It has a bit of cliche here and there. But they is potential in the story. Plus the manga has a huge fanbase too.

All in all I award Kuroshitsuji a royal 8/10. ... Don't make me get started on the second season...
