Black Butler

 
  For anyone that likes animes and is looking for a good anime to watch I recommend watching Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji).  The main character of the story is a 12-13 year old boy named Ciel Phantomhive who is seeking revenge against the people that humiliated him, killed his parents and burned down their manner. To accomplish his goal Ciel knew that he would need help so he made a deal with a demon that until he got revenge and the demon ate his soul, the demon Sebastian Michaelis would be his butler bound to him by their contract and would obey his every command. This story is set during the Victorian area in England. Even though most nobel's in the story live a fairly stereotypical life for the era, Ciel and the people close to him have lives that are far from normal. The anime series Black Butler is based off of Yana Toboso's manga Black Butler. The show is perfect for anyone that likes shows with mysteries, action, and violence. The story in my opinion is very well organized and very interesting unlike some other animes that the plot is difficult to understand or really doesn't have one. Another thing that makes this series enjoyable is the story is the first season has 24 episodes and the second season has 12 episodes, and there are seven Ova's. This makes the series more enjoyable because there are enough episodes to fully develop and conclude a story without cramming to many events into one episode, or having the series end  at like episode 12 with a whole bunch of unanswered questions. I will talk about season two on my next posting. If you would like to see what black butler is like Funimation has put the first four episodes on youtube in english dub and if you like the series after watching the first four episodes you can purchase the series on their website.
