This OVA collection is a mixed bag, but overall, quite enjoyable. Ironically, the two Ciel in Wonderland episodes were the weakest for me: Dull and uninspired. We’ve already seen this kind of humor back in Season 1, where the Black Butler characters take on new roles while still behaving like their usual selves. These episodes follow the Alice in Wonderland theme only loosely, and while the concept sounds fun on paper, the execution feels dragged out and ultimately mismatched.

On the other hand, the first-person perspective episode, the Alois-focused one, and the Shinigami episode were fantastic. The first-person episode offers a refreshing look at daily life ... in the Phantomhive household, making you feel like you’re actually meeting the characters in person. The Alois episode really stands out, it gives a deeper look into the toxic dynamics of the Trancy household, what Alois has to endure emotionally, and why that situation was always doomed to collapse. It adds valuable nuance to his character.

The Shinigami episode is another highlight. Anyone who’s watched Code Geass will understand when I say it feels like a chill hangout between Lelouch and Rivalz, except here, it's William and Grell. Jun Fukuyama fully channels his Lelouch energy, making it especially fun for fans. Each of these stronger episodes also carries small, subtle lessons that enrich the world and characters, not in a big, dramatic way, but enough to justify what OVAs are meant to be: extra content that enhances the main series.

Mixed Feelings

I seem to be the odd one here, especially because I LOVED season 2 even though it's not canon, but OVAs just for silliness aren't really my thing.. I watched these because Netflix had them tacked onto the second season, and I personally found most of them a tad boring/too ridiculous.. That's just me, but yeah-- if you're wondering if these are just for comedy and silliness, they are. I honestly can't remember the Wonderland episodes much besides one awkward scene and Grell being the Cheshire Cat. I know I wasn't too entertained by them though. "Welcome to the Phantomhive's" puts the viewer in ... the show, like the characters are talking directly to you, which, to me, felt kind of odd and cringy when not actually playing a video game. The "Making Of" episode is in a documentary style, interviewing the characters as if they're just actors playing the roles of the story. I didn't care for it, but it might be amusing for you, if you like that sort of thing. The episode about the reapers ("The Tale of William") was probably the best for me. I always enjoy Grell and if you do too, watch that one at least. :) I know this review is simple; sorry if it's not helpful for you.

I have no clue what I just watched...

This whole adaption is not good

The writing of these specials are overall bad.

I couldn't find myself to enjoy any of the specials. I felt as if these specials were just bland and confusing. Honestly, these 6 episodes are not enjoyable nor good.

The plot of these episodes are not worth wasting your time to watch.

... If you want to watch after you complete Black Butler, go ahead. There's no reason to watch this, it's not a fun series of episodes.

This whole span of 6 episodes left me clueless and unhappy, I clearly did not enjoy these specials. These specials are generally a waste of your time, there's no good reason to complete these specials, don't waste your time.
