How's it going lurkers? I have another Anime for Cartoon Sunday. Today I have Kuroshitsuji. It's also known as "Black Butler" in English. I would've shared a YouTube video, but Funimation Entertainment [cough, cough], the monopoly of the Anime Industry restricted it. This means, you will have to watch Black Butler in English through Vimeo.
Black Butler is a historical, dark humored, Shonen Supernatural Mystery Anime with a smidge of Action, set during The Victorian Era in London, England.
However, I will say the target age demographic is debatable. Kuroshitsuji is usually rated as a Shonen but some say it is a Seinen.
Considering that in a later episode, Sebastian, the demon butler himself, has sex with a nun, it definitely gets rated a Seinen in my book.
Most Shonen don't have any sex in the comic books and animation, especially when the protagonist is immature and oblivious to a female character's attraction to him.
Seinen, on the other hand, has a better chance of having sex in the comic books and animation but not necessarily to the extent of Hentai or animated pornography.
So, what is Black Butler's plot?
On Ciel Phantomhive's 10th birthday, he was captured as a fire torched his mansion and killed his parents. As the noble family's mansion burned, Ciel formed a contract with the demon, Sebastian Michaelis. In exchange for Ciel's revenge, Sebastian is to take Ciel's soul. Their contract resulted in Sebastian becoming Ciel's butler.
Sebastian's main purpose is to serve and protect Ciel, until their deal is completed.
A month later, Ciel returned with Sebastian, disguised as Ciel's butler. All the while, Ciel became the head of The Phantomhives. The heir handles Funtom, which is a toy factory business. Ciel is also the Queen of England's watchdog and solves crimes in London.
I need to re-watch Kuroshitsuji because it has been years, since I last watched it. On July 10th, Japan premiered a new season. I have been so busy on and offline, that I haven't found the time to watch it. Anyway, here's Black Butler's pilot episode.
