| I hope CloverWorks will deliver a good, faithful adaptation. |
 |
| The anime gods have smiled down upon me, I am truly their favorite child🥺 If my favorite manga can continue to get such great adaptations, I will never ask for anything again |
| I re-watched the PV so many times already, can't wait! |
| Bout time it's been 84 years |
 |
| FUCK YES, LET'S GOOOOOOOO. I never imagined Black Butler would get another season omg T-T And the staff looks amazing!? Cloverworks is an awesome studio, I have no doubt in their ability to adapt the source material properly. Unlike the disgusting shit A-1 studio created that is the second season. Based off of the promotional poster, it looks like this is going to be an adaptation of the public school arc. Not my favorite arc, but it's still pretty damn entertaining. Definitely looking forward to this! |

| This has gotta be the most unexpected news, out of everything. |
| I didn't even remember this anime anymore kkkk, what good news! ^-^)/ |
 |
| kek maaya sakamoto of *bakemonogatari* fame welp been 6 yrs tho |
| One of my favorite anituberisms was when people were saying Re:Zero was this intense deconstruction on anime tropes when it came out, and then years later when I got around to reading it it was just lolicon chuunige. |
| We need more revivals. Keep them coming. Though a VERY unexpected news everything considered lol. |
| Another unexpected announcement... can't wait to see Ciel and Sebastian again!! Let's goooo |
 |
| I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I NEVER EXPECTED IT WOULD EVER GET A SEQUEL AFTER HOW SEASON 2 ENDED. I WAS HAVING SUCH A SHITTY DAY BUT THIS MADE ME SO FREAKIN' HAPPY. |
| Yo a sequel ? I'm all in for it. |
 |

| lmao this is legit trending on google |
   |
| But will it stop people from wanting to see a romantic relationship of 12 years old with 20+ years old ? Or that's just a fandom standard ? |
 |
| This anime series is back! |

| Loved this anime ever since I first watched in on Animax, really happy that it's getting another season. I had read the manga till Emerald Witch Arc, about time I start reading it again. |
| Yes...YES..This is some fine news. I'm simply one hell of a fanboy |
RobertBobert said: Why not? A number of shows have simply canceled the original ending to get a new season. Kakegurui, Blue Exorcist, Tokyo Ghoul. After some thought I realized that they can just forget about the existence of season 2 and follow the movie Book of Atlantic since that movie was quite faithful to the manga compared to that unnecessary season 2. Then the next would be the public school arc. But I still hope they don't go anime original for this new season. |

Book of atlantis was particularly ugly since it was a movie and therfore should have had a better budget but no, it was so much bad cgiEsmera said: A-1 literally gave us Book of Circus and Book of Atlantis...Unlike the disgusting shit A-1 studio created that is the second season. |

| Between this and Natsume, it feels good that anime which haven't updated in five to seven years can continue to get sequels. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

MikuMousepad said: Ionliosite2 said: Yana Toboso gave us the story.A-1 literally gave us Book of Circus and Book of Atlantis... Without A-1 said story wouldn't even have been animated to begin with, so without that we would've been left with season 2 LOL |

They're the ones that made this mess in the first place. |

A1 pictures gave us the abysmal animation and poor pacing. Book of atlantis was particularly ugly since it was a movie and therfore should have had a better budget but no, it was so much bad cgi Apparently we did. I found Book of Atlantic enjoyable in it's own way because it's a great arc, but the visuals were very lackluster. I already mentioned the bad CGI but the animation itself was also minimal and not very fluid so I feel the manga is the superior version of that storyline. If you're saying you love the film inspite of the visuals and not because of them, then I can understand, but as an adaptation it was at best mediocre and I'm very glad to see a different studio helm the series |
|
| OH MY GOD!!!!!! Will the public school arc be animated?!?!? Finally!!! Ahhh I'm gonna cry im so happy |

Ionliosite2 said: I was solely referring to Kuroshitsuji II that had Alois and Claude. I'm grateful for the Book of Circus and Book of Atlantis adaptation and think they did a decent job at them, but that 100% non-canon season was completely unnecessary and was horribly written.Esmera said: A-1 literally gave us Book of Circus and Book of Atlantis...Unlike the disgusting shit A-1 studio created that is the second season. |
"As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Amazing news! After 6 years since the movie and the fandom boom having died down, I had given up hope of any anime continuation until the manga finishes and we get an entire new beginning-to-end anime, FMAB-style. Idk if they're continuing into the school arc or what, but happy to hear it's not forgotten about all the same |
   I'm level  on MAL-Badges. View my badges. |
| I saw the announcement on Reddit and Twitter and I legit screamed. My prayers have been answered after all this time. I just finished rewatching book of circus, murder, and Atlantic after seeing the news. My heart is so full. I cannot wait to see baby boy Ciel and Sebas-chan again!!! |
    |
| I am so excited as this is literally I think the first manga I ever read and I still follow it!!!! This is great, I am so hyped! |
 |
| Is this a sequel though?! Are we getting the school arc???!! |
 |
| So excited for this! Recently I thought about Kuroshitsuji and then, I found the trailer of the new anime. I have a lot of sweet memories with friends through this series. |
| Very exciting news |
