The official website of the previously announced movie of the Kuroshitsuji series has announced that work will be titled Kuroshitsuji Movie: Book of the Atlantic. The movie will open in theaters in Japan in early 2017.

Book of the Atlantic adapts the sixth story arc of the Kuroshitsuji manga, which is set on the luxury passenger liner Campania. The story investigating experiments of resurrecting the dead spans the 11th through 14th volumes.

Animation studio A-1 Pictures returns to produce the movie with the same voice cast. The production team of Book of Circus and Book of Murder will also return for the new adaptation.

Aniplex will promote the movie at AnimeJapan 2016 and will be selling limited edition illustrations at its booth.

Yet to watch Book of Murders. Gotta keep tabs on it because Book of Circus was pretty solid.

Yeah I was thinking that, this us one of my favourite arcs from the manga and I just hope they fit everything in to do it justice.

Bit of a downer it's not gonna be realised till 2017 though.

Looking forward to this but it looks like we'll have to wait for quite a bit for it. Nice key visual though.

So now we can forget about the second season (also over half of the first season) and focus on these new adaptations that actually follow the manga?


Well I don't mind at all. Also this arc is one of the best (maybe even the best) arc of Kuroshitsuji so I'm excited. Don't know how it will work as a movie but the visuals and animation should be great.

Let me help you by letting you know that Kuroshitsuji II doesn't add anything to the actual story as the entire season is a filler and better to be avoided.

Start with Kuroshitsuji and then move on to the Book of Circus and then the Book of Murder and finally to the Book of the Atlantic.

Anime remake would have been preferable but it's better than nothing, I guess.

As much as I'm anticipating the movie, I have to agree with you. Unfortunately the anime version is garbled from the start. :( two seasons with little canon (or not canon at all), then a 10 ep part, 2 ovas, now 1 movie... I would indeed be happy with a remake instead.

Decently adapted, only with one movie? I don't think so.

The key visual is artgasm.

I disagree :P I thought circus was much better than Ship, but I do think it's the 2nd best arc.

Considering Murder and Circus were really good, I will have good expectations even if it's a movie!

I guess they can't do worse than Book of Murder, which was a total borefest.

Of course this is great for manga fans such as myself, but until there's a reboot of the first two arcs, this has no leg to stand on.

excellent art, yana, as always.

now all we need is the school arc. i really would like a season of that one, it's my all time favorite arc and i'd love to see it stretched out as long as possible.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!! I'm so glad its going to adapt this arc! Super hyped to see all of its awesomeness in animated form.
Too bad we have to wait till 2017, a whole year of waiting...
And as many are here, i'm also a bit concerned over how they will adapt all 4 volumes. Hopefully the movie won't dissapoint.

@yuliyana29 I agree, the visual is gosh-so-amazing. \( ̄▽ ̄)/
And I'm guessing its because some movies range from 1 hour-2 hours long, which could possibly mean the movie will be a bit rushed. Plus Book of Circus was adapted into 10 episodes (I believe that arc was 3 volumes long?) and it was just spectacular. If that worked once, it could have worked again with this arc.
In my opinion, I believe it would have been better if they had made it into a TV series that adapted this arc + the following two arcs. But it has already been confirmed as a movie and beggars can't be choosers. ^^
Something is better than nothing (/°-°)/

really excited for this! I feel like they'll be able to adapt it into a movie without losing too much content, just because of the nature of the arc. definitely going to re-read that bit of the manga soon. it was fantastic the first time i read it.

hopefully they'll adapt the school arc into either another season or a movie afterwards. out of all of them, that one has definitely got to be my fave

Good to see more adaptations, though like people have said the fact theyre trying to do 4 volumes in 1 movie is a bit worrying...

I've only watched the first season so far and wasn't impressed (although I know its supposed to be crap), but I plan to watch Book of Circus and Murder soon so hopefully that changes my idea of this series.

Damn! This should have been a full 12 episode anime. That arc was the best Kuroshitsuji arc yet! So much craziness and dramatic revelations took place. I can't imagine that one and a half hours would suffice to do it justice. I'm disappointed about it being a movie but because the arc was AMAZING, I look forward to watching it. Please please please do it justice.

I haven't read that arc yet, but I like the idea of the film continuing the story. But since now we're getting OVA and film sequels, does that mean they'll never make another TV season again?

Ever since I saw that there would be a movie of Kuroshitsuji I kept hoping that it would adapt my favorite arc, and it really will, I am so happy \(^o^)/
Also I love the fact that there willl be the same voice actors: Daisuke Ono and Suwabe Junichi!!!! (Sebastian and undertaker) I absolutely love them :3
Though I will only be able to watch it in late 2017 or early 2018 DAMN IT!!! (T_T)

This will be one hell of a movie, I can feel it already owo

I honestly cannot see Ship Arc adapted into anime series... I'd rather see it as really long movie(2-3 hours).

After the Ship Arc comes School Arc, right? I should reread it...

I hope School Arc is made into 12 episode anime tho


This artwork gives me eyegasms tho.

Aw yes! Will definitely have to find time to re-watch the entire series from the beginning. It was one of my favorite series taking place in a Victorian-era setting. Hopefully it's not rushed or anything though, always hate when something like that happens.

Read the manga. At this point anime continuity is all over the place.

I hear that a lot. I am thinking of going with the anime first, then the manga, or is the opposite a better choice?
