SynopsisYana Toboso draws the original Kuroshitsuji manga about Sebastian Michaels, an impeccable butler who can carry out practically any task his master requires of him — partly because he is a demon. His current master is Ciel, the Phantomhive family head who is smart, business-savvy, and all of 12 years old.

quirky humour. also good serious plots as well. strange unique atmospheres which is weird and slightly creepy. brilliant watches!
Similar main characters Yuuko-Sebastian Watanauki-Ciel
Supernatural & mystery moments!
Characters really do look a like! i think that Sebastian from kuroshitsuji is male version of Yuuko from xxxholic. also at first sight i thought that kuroshitsuji was product of Clamp, but i guess i was simply mistaken.

The creepy feeling of both is similar. Both are psychological, twisted, written to make you think, and focus on vengeance (from what I've seen of the first 2 eps of Kuroshitsuji).
Koroshitsuji and Jigoku shoujo are that same in A Few ways. The storys are some what the same becuz There is a demon serving someone, And in jigoku shoujo, she grants a wish. You get the same feeling from Both the animes as well.

Nov 23, 20087 of ? episodes seen 12 of 19 people found this review helpful Kuroshitsuji is a story about a demon butler named Sebastian who serves the 12 year old Count Ciel Phantomhive. Bond to the count Sebastian carries out all of Ciel's tasks without fail.
Story(8/10): Kuroshitsuji has not had much of a story yet but i am optimistic about this show in specific. Most of the important plots and points to the story have not been unveiled.
Art (10/10): The art is one of the best i have ever seen. The backgrounds are animated beautifully a...nd the sceneries both pleasant and eerie. The animation engineers have recreated old London extremely well. The Character designs are amazing expecially Sebastian and Ciels.
Sound (10/10): This is the best part of the show. The background music is the best thing I have ever heard. The composer is one of my favorite composers ever, Iwasaki Taku. He has done TTGL, Soul Eater, Persona, Kekkaishi, Black Cat and many other. The OP is very good while the ending quite average. The voice actors are very good such as Daisuke Ono(Sebastian), Maaya Sakamoto(Ciel), Paku Romi (Madame Red), Jun Fukuyama (Greil), Noriaki Sugiyama(William T. Spears), Junichi Suwabe (Undertaker) and a lot more those are the only one's i noticed.
Character (10/10): Sebastian is one of my favorite characters of all time as he is funny, smart, kicks ass and says some of the best dialogues anyone can ask for. With his demonic look and his evil grin Sebastian is one of the best characters you can find. Then their is Ciel the spoilt, rude Count Of The Great Phantomhive family and due to some incident lost his beloved parents. Finnian, Meilin and Bard the incompetent servants, they cause all the problems in the hpuse while Sebastian has to save them. All of the characters are unique and funny in their own way.
Enjoyment (10/10): Personally, this my favorite show of the season and i cannot wait for each episode to be subbed. The wait is killing me. I highly recommend it to anyone with any taste, you wont be disappointed. read more

Nov 2, 20084 of ? episodes seen 17 of 57 people found this review helpful I wasn't really being picky when I chose this I just wanted something to watch, but instead of a dull carnival ride I got a rollar coaster through a haunted house. At first Sebatian (the butler) reminded me of Haji from Blood+, but then his sarcasm started showing as well as the way he acted towards the "young master" All in all it's a wonderful show great characters spectacular plot and I can't wait to see the rest.

Oct 8, 20081 of ? episodes seen 19 of 97 people found this review helpful This one was… interesting. I was originally going to avoid it because of the pedophile vibes that I was given. A show about a young boy and his creepy butler just sounded wrong… However, I decided to watch it, and grabbed the subbed version from Shinsen… The OP was pretty good… there are certainly better, but there are many worse ones this season. The ED doesn’t have a good song, but the mountains of chibi awesome-ness make up for it. The art is very nice, all t...he backgrounds are hand painted, and the character art is decently consistent. The CG (what little they use) tends to be a bit dodgy in spots, but I think that can be overlooked. The story of this anime focuses on Ciel Phantomhive, the orphaned heir to the Phantomhive estate. How his parents died hasn’t been established yet, but it apparently caused him to make a contract with a demon… who is his butler. Let me say here, that Sebastian (insert Lucky * Star reference here) is the single most badass butler ever. Watch the show for yourself if you don’t believe me. I’m going to have a hard time summarizing the first episode, but I can say some other things. The atmosphere is very good at shifting. It can be comical and ridiculous the first moment, but then be pants-wettingly creepy. Not many anime these days can switch back and forth so well. Ciel comes off as pretty creepy as small boys with eyepatches come. The rest of the house staff is comical, complete with the girl who loves Sebastian. Sebastian is honestly the best of the whole character set. He switches back and forth from comical to creepy along with the rest of the show. He has red eyes, pallid white skin, and dark hair (as well as an angular face, which makes him remind me of the black swordsman from Comedy.) From what I can tell, he is a demon, but I can only tell from the vague description I can get from the show. He says “I am but a butler,” but the way he says it, it can be also translated as “I am but a demon.” Anyway, Sebastian is obviously the most badass demon butler to ever grace the screen. I really don’t have much more to say on this, because I have no plot summary. Watch it if you want, you will probably enjoy it. I enjoyed it enough to bring me to the second episode, providing Shinsen gets the subs out with decent speed. It really isn’t half bad, and it was a lot better than I expected it. To sum it up, less pedophiliac, more ridiculous, and certainly more entertaining then I expected it to be. Check it out if you want to. I give it a total score 0f 7/10.
Production by A-1 Pictures. Airs on Thursday. Subs done by Shinsen.
