Watch order for Kuroshitsuji.

All the explanations are also in the descriptions but to sum it up:
Due to being caught up to the manga, first season of Kuroshitsuji had an original non-canon ending, which then was followed into the second season: Kuroshitsuji II.

Few years after those came out, we got "Book of Circus" which completely ignored all of the anime-only content from the previous two seasons, and instead simply adapted the manga arc that happens right after episodes 13-15 in Kuroshitsuji.

Because of all this mess you now get a choice of skipping the non-canon episodes and only watching those that were adapted from the manga. Whether you /should/ do that is all up to you. People generally prefer the manga adaptations, but Kuroshitsuji II also has a fair share of fans and introduces new characters that some people like.

My stack about some of my favorite animes that I watched every single one myself, containing Demons,Demon Lords (Maou), Djinn and even Yokai.

The demons can be the antagonists, protagonists or even a mean for power.

Some of them may take longer for the demons to appear, some of them will include demons/demon lords starting from 2nd Season.

As for the rating, I leave that to your own judgement and tastes.

Anime set in aforementioned time periods. Some of them are technically not historical but have the vibes.
Only from what I have already watched, so sorry for a small number.
(Possibly mild spoilers)

Anime in this list have one or more of these characteristics:

- Classic whodunnits
- Investigating, solving a riddle, case-solving
- Police or detectives or detective-like characters solving cases involving murder, theft, etc. with a limited number of suspects.
- Mostly episodic rather than a full series with only one plot/case.
-Some listings with supernatural elements but only if it fits the 'detective' part of it.


Order from least supernatural elements to most

One of my favorite anime tropes!

I love anime that feature what is normally a "background" character that is the perfect butler or concierge. They're good at seemingly everything - cleaning, cooking, mending ... you name it, so the master never has to worry. Oh and if things get dicey, it turns out the Butler is also secretly (or not secretly) Overpowered and has amazing martial arts or magical powers.

You know that butler! You might have seen them in these anime, sorted in Alphabetical Order.

Circus? Murder? A straight-forward list of the series that comprise the "Kuroshitsuji" anime, including both manga adaptations and anime-original material.

Eighteen-hundreds. The century of noblesse oblige and fantastical mysteries taking place in sublime surroundings. A feeling of eerieness in the air might also be present.

I've taken the liberty to include anime with supernatural and mythological themes also. As long as they fit the vibe.

Detective stories à la Sherlock Holmes

In these series, mysterious cases are solved with the help of logical deduction. They often feature main characters who are exceptionally intelligent and simply can't let go when they are on an exciting case.
