Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Irishchatter So I've heard of Black Butler from the YouTuber "Akidearest", who went to a "black butler" inspired cafe in Japan for her birthday and I finally made myself watch the whole thing last night. I swear, both Brina Palencia and J. Michael Tatum, did such a terrific job in doing the voiceovers for Sebastian and Ciel. I really would give credit to these two because they just attach with the story so well and did a killer English accent that you wouldn't think they were Americans at all! This series really does make you laugh including the other four servants who just are so cute and clumsy at the same time. Although the other butler who always tries to commit suicide but always seem to fail , it really does make you rather sad than laugh out loud to his actions. At least the character isn't killed off but honestly, why did Ciels aunt have to be killed off? Seriously she would've been useful. I really couldn't stand Ciels fiancee, she was just so whiny and b*tchy that whenever she has her own scenes, I just skip them. I really think the writers made a huge mistake in not giving Sebastian and Ciel a gay realtionship, they just are so attached to each other that it just doesn't make sense to me. They are a master and servant with huge feelings for God sake! They are both demons at the end of the day!I enjoyed this anime like the tone of it was just spot on for a Victorian anime series, ill give this 8/10!

karokfish At first I could not stand to watch it in dubbed version - the accents just rankled as racist and they aren't very good accents. But now that I've finished watching both seasons, I need to re-watch it again, and I'll do so in the dubbed version. Funny how in Japanese, everyone has the same accent...While it could have ended simply at Season 1, and since Season 2 was half filler anyway, I enjoyed the twist of the end of the story for Ciel and Sebastian in Season 2. And, boy!, what a twist! At least, it would seem like the end. Not to knock the "filler" - couple of fun episodes in there, so watch! But anti-climactic when the "end of story" was in the middle of Season 2.Speaking of end of story, what a head spinner! Truly convoluted. But I must say I feel quite sorry for Sebastian. After his hard work cultivating Ciel's soul, I wish he could have reaped his rewards.There was a perfect explanation of Ciel in there somewhere, that despite the darkness he has experienced and that he wraps himself in, he still had a remarkably noble soul. He had every intention of being true to his contract with Sebastian, he understood completely what he had signed up for, unlike his antagonist in Season 2. But I think Season 2 might show us that the human master may ultimately affect the demon servant too.Sigh. I wish it wasn't over. However, I understand there is another season called Book of Circus. But it is not available on Netflix Canada yet. So I will wait patiently until it comes out. And something about a movie that came out in 2014? My my...O-tanoshimini!

nicademis32 OK, this is not cowboy bebop of FLCL (which I am not that big of a fan) but it is a very good show. The story flows, it slowly lets pieces of the mysteries go, and best of all it actually has a decent ending. I am pretty picky about my anime. For the life of me I cannot understand the love for Trigun, except Nicholas Wolfwood. Most animes ruin it with the ending. This one is really good. I agree it starts out pretty bad but then so does Hellsing OVA and it turns really good really fast. It has a darker feel toward the end reminiscent of Fullmetal alchemists. If you want the standard hero shows up has a minor problem then overcomes the bad guy with some special power. This is not your show. If you want a solid story with some of the cutsie stuff that ends well, has really decent lessons, and great side character stories then I say give it a try. The second half is not quite as good but then ending makes it well worth the time.Plus there is no way to not like Sebastian since he is "One hell of a butler"

trcky1 This may be the most well written anime series I've seen. Not that it was Oscar-worthy writing, but most of the writing I've seen in anime has always been the thing that prevented me from really loving it. This series doesn't have the lazy, shortcut type of writing that simply fills the plot gaps. It actually builds different stories to support different themes.Anyways, the series themes of revenge and redemption are woven together well with well-crafted story lines. This isn't an anime with non-stop action, but it does have its share of dark supernatural battle scenes, as well as witty humorous battle scenes. There is quite a bit dark humor in different parts of the series, but it's balanced out by traditional anime slapstick comedy (which I'm actually not a fan of and part of the reason it didn't get 10 stars).If you watch the dubbed version, the translation and acting are all excellent. Some hardcore anime fans complain about the fake cockney accents, but they're mostly limited to some supporting characters. The voices for the two main characters (Ciel and Sebastian) are portrayed terrifically and are true in tone to their Japanese voice counterparts (I saw season 2 in the subbed version). Simply put, this may be the best job of versioning I've ever seen in anime. In its early U.S. import days, anime had horrible translations in both subbed and dubbed versions, due to what I expect as literal translations of the script from Japanese to English. Funimation has really done well in this department, as they've taken the meanings of the original Japanese script and rewritten it in English with English idioms and phrases that work perfectly with the characters and themes, rather than just lazily taking the Japanese words and translating them directly into English words, creating phrases that are unusual or that simply don't make any sense.
