My thoughts exactly. I tried to watch the show with an open mind, I mean the first season was okay. But yeah...it's basically fan service for the ladies, like that new swimming anime.


It's not just fanservice for girls theirs a lot more to this anime, guys can enjoy this anime an example would be my brother he loves this show despite the fact that he's not all that into anime

Guess I better finish watching season 1 and 2. From what I watched it seemed pretty good, but I was busy, put it on hold and, well, you know how it goes.

Fanservice for the ladies? What? Have you seen Kuroshitsuji? Unless you're talking about the BL undertones/subtext/shipfuel, whatever. But they're UNDERTONES. It's not 'basically fanservice' because that's not what a majority of the anime was.
To be fair, those 'undertones' are more like intentional hints. The author is a total fujoshi. BB is not a series like that, but that won't stop her from putting those things in there because she actually likes them.

That said, no one should write off this show over that since while they are present, they're so minor you can easily overlook them. I did until i saw a bunch of fanwork. The action and humor in it is tops and so is the style and stories.
The only thing that will remind you of those undertones is Grell, and he's too hilarious to care how blatantly gay he is.

I'm a lone ranger who preferred the 2nd season to the 1st. Not really sure what I think of this news. Need to know more before I can really decide if I'm interested in seeing more.

FINALLY!!!!

I didn't like the second half of the first season up until how it ended. The second half on the first season that's when it started to go off track from the manga right?? I hope this time they follow the manga but keep the main VA

Ahh, that's great news. ;v; I really liked season 2 to be honest, but I still really hope that this'll be a reboot instead! I'd love it if it were to follow the manga, there are some pretty cool arcs I'd love to see animated, ahah. uvu

I hope it'll be a remake that follows the manga this time. There's plenty of material this time around, so it could easily be a 24 episodes or so anime.

Tbh I still need to finish the first season, but I found the second season.. well not very good, let's leave it at that. Most of the time I either facepalmed or thought "oh god, no."

I do agree about the hints and all (I know Toboso it's a fujoshi, it's pretty obvious), but that's not what makes Kuroshitsuji. It's not like that's the majority of the anime (although I can't speak for the second season, and I won't) or the manga.

Like anyone is watching Kuroshitsuji for the plot. And here I hear that it has 'just' undertones.

Well rumours are never 100% true. I won't deny it for season two, but the first season and especially the manga are great even without the undertones and shouldn't be written off just because they have them.

I know many Kuroshitsuji fangirls and they only seem to care about Sebastian or how close he is with Ciel.
Even if the manga has potential, I doubt anyone will care further than the CielxSebastian pairing.

You're basing your opinion of Kuroshitsuji, a manga you haven't even read, off of fangirls who ship Sebastian and Ciel...? I don't see the logic in this all. Yeah, they are close (I guess) and all, but there's more to Kuroshitsuji than that.

How do you know I haven't read it or at least some part of it? Oh please, 'I don't see the logic', yaoi undertones sell, like sex in eroge sell.

You make it sound like people can't just enjoy an anime, for you know, the anime?

"If there's no sex, gay undertones, or fanservice of any kind it's not going to sell!"

God forbid people watch or read Kuroshitsuji for the story.

Yeah really. I'm someone who reads the manga for the story. I don't ship Sebastian x Ciel, in fact I think it's disgusting. The beautiful art/costumes and historical setting is what drew me to the series to begin with.

So yeah, not everyone pays attention to or even likes the fanservice/undertones. This is exactly why I HATED the 2nd season. The anime emphasizes gay pedo stuff a lot more than the manga does. And Kuroshitsuji is considered a shounen according to this site. There's quite a few big breasted women in the manga and Ciel is engaged to a cute, but badass girl which is the kind of stuff that appeals to a male audience.

Anyone who says that Kuroshitsuji is just for yaoi loving fangirls doesn't know what they're talking about.

well, I'm a big fan of Kuroshitsuji, it's wired but it was my second manga.. i loved it that much and m happy for hearing such announcement like that.. i really want the new anime to follow the manga because i disliked the second season.. i even dropped it after watching 3 episodes.. the second season was mistake.. i didn't feel like I'm watching kurishitsuji anymore.. I'm feeling depressed just by thinking of it.

I agree with you. I'm hoping for a remake myself. Plus, they said NEW series, not a third season, Yana herself even said new series instead of anything relative to that of a third season. Unlike with Kuroshitsuji 2 where they did say it was a second season, this indicates that it may very well be a remake. Good for us huh. Or it could be a new series of OVAs.

Though I do hope the anime ruiners don't get their hands on it (knowing my luck I doubt it.. I won't think that way though.). My love for the series was nearly destroyed and ended up taking two years off just to forget the experience, didn't work well.

Besides my happy nervousness.. I can't wait to see what they do. I hope it does follow the manga more.. I so want to see Sebastian and the Undertakers fight, and the hints handled well. Even if I won't be surprised by it, it would be one of few manga following animes I support. (I'm also hoping for a Soul Eater remake...)

Edit: Checked Crunchyroll yesterday, since they normally have a little more information on the matter, and they said it was a new MANGA adaption. So remake or OVA is more likely.

I hope it's a remake too....oh my god season 1 was great..despite not completely following the manga it was pretty good...but season 2 was..oh the horror..n the trauma...I couldn't get over it, it was horrible!!! The new characters were fine and everything, but it pretty much ruined the series for me. So I REALLY hope with everything I got that it's a remake, the manga has so many wonderful arcs the should get animated.
