The best characters in this anime is definitely the two main protagonists, no doubt about it. The second season focused more onto the storyline than it is on character developments. If I can choose, I will definitely want to see an extension.Ĭharacter developments in this anime are mainly done in the first season, which makes watching this anime in proper order mandatory. If yes, a third season will definitely be radically different story-wise than what you can see in the first season. This anime is manga-based, I wonder if the ending is canon. In fact, the ending of this anime second season is one of the best I have seen for quite a while.īut with the way the second season’s ending was written, it will be hard to envision a third season, that’s how radical (and awesome) the ending is.

Story development in the second season is just as good as it is in the first season, but unlike the latter, the second season has a very good ending. The second season doesn’t have the scene transition problems that the early parts of the first one has, but instead the pacing in the first few episodes of the second season is quite slow than what I have expected. There are few things that are not explained (example: how on Earth that the Chinese guy is still alive) and personally, I think the second season is inferior to the first one.

The 12-episode second season switched from the multiple-arc plot format to a normal single-plot format that is more common in anime titles like this, this, this and this one. The OVA is basically just a filler episode, and can fit in somewhere within the first season.Īround this part of the world, we call those things chainsaws and paper scissors, not death-scythes. The ending arc is probably the weakest part of the first season, but the final scene is tantalizingly mysterious. The first two story arcs in the first season has some scene transition problems (example: in the first arc, between the scene where the red lady left the seasonal villa and the scene where she was eventually outed), but the subsequent arcs afterwards has a pretty much flawless presentation, whether in pacing or story development. The difference between this anime and the aforementioned two titles are vast though, because the story arcs in this anime is actually watchable. The 24-episode first season starts with few episodes dedicated to character introductions and initial developments, before settling down on a multi-arc plot format seen in the likes of Index and Kaze no Stigma. Meanwhile, as they searched high and low for those killers, the demon moonlights as a butler with extraordinary abilities in his master’s households, serving his noble brat from head to toe while keeping the rest of the bumbling servants in line. Set up in 19th century England, an adolescent noble brat sold his soul to a demon so that he can take revenge upon the killers of his parents. The main 'female' protagonist, also one of the best characters in this anime. Meanwhile, the second season was aired this year, therefore it will compete with the far weaker ‘Anime of the Year 2010’ title holder Working!! Now whether the second season can actually capitalize on the less-than- perfect score Working!! has or not can only be known if you continue reading this review further down. The first season is a 2008 anime, which will then compete with the current ‘Anime of the Year 2008’ title holder One Outs, and failed.

Therefore I waited for a bit so that I can watch both seasons back-to-back, and dump them into a single review. Earlier this year, I finally decided to actually watch this series, only to find out that a second season is coming. Kuroshitsuji is an anime title that I have always kinda wanted to watch, but never got around of doing it. Sorry.The main male protagonist, and one of the best characters in this anime.
