SYNOPSIS :
In a manor house on the outskirts of Victorian era London, butler Sebastian Michaelis serves Ciel Phantomhive, the orphaned twelve-year-old head of an English noble family and a toy and candy empire, who serves directly under the Queen. Sebastian carries out any task required by his master while solving the problems plaguing England with ease and perfection, because of his demonic lineage and Faustian contract with his master.

REVIEW :
Unfortunately, this anime is plotless. Yes, it has absolutely NO plot. It just revolves around this boy, Ciel and his butler, Sebastian.
IT doesn't even do a jigoku shoujo thing and collect different stories. It's just about them like an autobiography.
However, they make it up with character development. The character development here is pretty good. The characters are slightly wacked but they're okay. Atleast, they look like they have a purpose.
The art is VERY nice. It's neat and beautiful. It makes you wanna look at it more every time. You just can't get enough of it. And it doesn't help that all the male characters are drawn so beautifully. So naturally, we know why all the fangirls are going crazy.
The background music is surprisingly good. It is the very thing that sets the mood for the anime. IT rely alot on the background music.
The Openings and Endings for it was just alright. However, I definately prefer the Openings more than the endings.
But there was one ending that was awesome which was Lacrimosa by Kalafina. IT was so good.
The feel of this anime is the main reason why I watched it. I like gothic and darkness that the anime presented. IT's nice and something different from what most anime are offering.
Plus, it's set in the victorian era which is something nice.
Kuroshitsuji is super popular since it has it's own broadway musical in Japan and drama cd's.
However, I don't really get why all the girls love it but I have to admit it's enjoyable and a little different.
Well, season 2 of kuroshitsuji is currently airing and the producers have added a few new characters. So I would like to see how it goes. Maybe, the producers finally put a plot in. Hopefully, it will be alright.
As for season 1, I rate it 2.5 stars out of 5. Why? Simple, it has no plot. Sorry, I need plots.
