I did expect so much from this, since the Manga is my absolute favourite.
But they disappointed me with almost no maintainance of the original story and on that account a use of a needless, stupid filler story and corresponding characters who made the absurd story even weirder. Moreover did the original characters behave totally out of character at times.
Just the voice acting is won... read more
I cried so much in this anime. It's beautiful. The characters, the story line, the drawings.. Wow. I admit it's alot of fanservice in it, but wich anime is it that hasn't one or two fanservice scenes?

"My take: Black Butler is a very funny super natural drama anime with with a hint of seriouness. It left me wanting a butler with super natural powers to do my chores around the house. If only I can find one on craig list *sigh*

"woohoo! I love black butler and yes it is mostly because Sebi is awesome. He made household chores fun I mean I now do them thinking I am female version of sebastian, LOL but yeah I have a knack for relating to characters too much. He even won the hottest anime award of I guess 2010 or 9. The best thing about this anime is its artwork and level of details they put into it.
I loved the Sebastian and Grell character and the scenes they had together were fun to watch.
This series doesn't follow ma"
"Grell Sutcliff
Completely different from the serious mastermind is role of Shinigami Grell. Almost hyperactive and always trying his best to win over Sebastian's heart with all his might, his personality is definitely more salient and extreme. Grell always speaks with a very high-pitched and more female voice yet never loses that seductive undertone. This kind of voice acting is one of the main reasons I adore JunJun so much and he was indeed perfectly cast for Grell.

Yana-sama offers fanservice to the readers all the time, and the Anime followed her example of course. These two have more than a sadomasochistic Butler-Master relationship! xD It cannot be unseen! And although I actually also approve of SebastianXGrell, Ciel is just perfect for Sebby.
