you guys will probably want me dead after reading this.
I've never read the manga so i'll be talking about the anime only. I read in posts that the anime never followed the manga (sucks when they do that)
Anyways, i just finished watching black butler season 1 and it was kinda fun to watch. There were some pretty funny stuff but sadly, the anime didn't get me motivated enough to watch it... what i'm trying to say is that each episode didn't get me all excited. it wasn't boring (or maybe a little) but i guess each episode didn't get me asking for more or wonder what happens next. Frankly, i wanted to just drop it. The only reason i kept watching was because i make it a point to always finish what i started, and because sebastian's hot.
black butler was pretty popular so i thought it might be good, but i guess i'm a little disappointed.
i didn't dislike it or anything, it was ok, i enjoyed some episodes, and i loved the three servants and that weird old man, tanaka-san,.. just the story is lacking.
The first season was tolerable (sorry, i don't know what other word to use but something like that)... and then there's season 2. i thought the first episode was pretty interesting, and then i went and watched the second episode, and gods, what the hell!? i thought the part where the food sebastian prepared were replaced with live animals was pretty funny, but aside from that... yeah, like i said, what the hell!? the characters were annoying, especially lizzy, and i'm sorry but i'm including ciel. how am i supposed to like an anime in which i dislike even the main character? I'm really sorry to those who loves this anime, i'm not a hater, but this is just what i honestly think. will this anime get better at all? i've only watched 2 episodes and i just don't see any point in watching it anymore. in all my years of watching anime, it looks like this is gonna be the first time i'm not going to finish an anime because i find it sucks. i know it's not in the manga, but i don't really have time to read unless it's something i really reeeeallly like, or if it's yaoi.
so, to sum it up, i'm saying i like the season 1 but not that much, and so far, after watching 2 episodes, i think i hate the season 2 (not as a hater who only hates for the sake of hating, but i just can't bring myself to like what i just watched). what do you guys think, are the other episodes gonna get better? should i give it a chance and continue watching? coz i only have like 1 and a half hour a day to watch and there are lots of other anime i could be wasting my time on instead of this.
also, in that occult thingy episode, with the angel, and the cleansing thing, did sebastian really have sex with that girl that looked like a nun in exchange for information? is that in the manga? gods, i hope not!! i kept repeating that scene, looking for something that would suggest that they weren't doing what i think they were doing.
yeah, that's all. please don't kill me. |
