Are you kidding me ? Are they gonna squeeze the entire arc in just two episodes or is it a different story ? Because even if they skipped 90% of the story it's impossible to adapt it in just two episodes.

Anyway, Is it officially announced that it's gonna be only 2 episodes ?

Since they're gonna be screened in cinemas they won't be 20min long. Although I wonder of the whole arc is gonna fit, it must be 100% filler-free then.

Screened in cinema?
Does that mean it'll be even longer before it's accessible online? x_x

Well, since it's gonna be an OVA, I don't think it'll talk a long time before it becomes accessible online.

EDIT:
Episodes 1 and 2 will be previewed at screenings in multiple cities across Japan on October 25 and November 15, 2014. The DVDs and BDs will be released in January 28 and February 25, 2015.

That looks promising -_-'

I guess we have to wait for 4 months now. Hopefully, when it is released, it will get subbed quickly.

I was also disappointed when I found out it would be 2 episodes, but they will be longer I'm sure off it. I can't wait. :) Book of Circus was just awesome.

If it is a long arc as you say they might as well be movies.

I really hope the episodes will be movie-length. That would be amazing~

Also, I think Arthur's name is wrong on the OVA's character page? That's Arthur Conan Doyle, not Arthur Wordsmith. Wordsmith is just a fancy synonym for the word "writer" which is what Ciel kept calling him in the manga.

If its movie length they probably can do it, but if its 23 minutes per episode its going to a rushed pile of garbage.

Book of Circus was the only good adaption of Kuroshitsuji since it followed the manga and I don't really think it was rushed its been so long since I read that arc in the manga. xD

It could be incorrect, but cdjapan currently lists both parts as being 60 minutes each.

From what I've heard from people who have already watched it (the lucky goats), it follows the manga to a T. No fillers what so ever or alterations. However they do take some stuff out to meet a certain amount of time.

I agree, but it was a little rushed in some areas, and it didn't quite follow the manga (alterations and fillers.). I hope the rumors about BOM being filler and alterations free is true. I would like to see that for a change.

Sounds about right for an OVA, though we won't officially know until we watch it.

^ Same here with the OVA, but at least Book of Circus was more faithful than the first series by a long shot. Kuroshitsuji II is probably one of the worst things I ever had the displeasure of watching Claude is one of the worst filler characters in the history of filler characters. I did like Alois and Hannah though.
