In my very opinion Kuroshitsuji did not need a sequel. What happens here is not related to the the first season at all. In the first episode I was was like, "What the heck, this does not include the original characters in the beginning." As I went on watching the story progressed Sebastian and Ciel are back into the story, not like as it started in the first episode.
Characters
The story starts out with new characters you have know idea about. Unless you read summaries and heard from your friends, you already know about the different characters. They introduce Alois Trancy and his butler Claude. Just
...
like Sebastian and Ciel, Claude is a demon, Alois he's also the "son" of a rich father. It hints that he may have been adopted. Not like I'm sure about it. Alois is like a spoiled brat. I know his only family was killed and all, but he doesn't need to act like that. Ciel had the same thing happen to him, he's not like that. Sebastian shows his protectiveness of Ciel toward the end of the series, which is a bit cute, in my opinion. Claude....he creeped me out man!! Personally I do not like the new characters. I'll give it a 6
Story
The story wasn't bad, nor was it good. It basically was leisure time spent. The story does not drag you in as the first one. It basically revolves around the fight between Claude and Sebastian over Ciel's soul. With Alois in between. I don't want to give any spoilers so I'll keep it at that. I give it a 7. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one.
Art
As usual the art is really good. Detailed and all that stuff. I give it a 10. Not much to say here.
Sound
The OP I really like, just I can't find it without the sound being blocked. Geez Youtube. The ending kind of ruins the mood of the seriousness of the episode. It's like calm and I just couldn't get used to it. I'll give it a 7.
Enjoyment
Tell you the truth it wasn't bad, but since they made a 2nd season, I'd prefer it to have different plot, or just follow the manga with some filler episodes from the start of the entire anime series, 1st and 2nd season. But we are stuck with what we have. I enjoyed bits and pieces. It had its small humor. The dark tone of the series. It spent my leisure time (most of it) and sometimes I was like "Awww" or "WTF!!!" or "Eh." Lots of mixed emotions. I give it a 7.
Overall
It continues from the 1st season, but some may not like the story line. I'm in the middle. If you are satisfied with the 1st season's ending, I recommend that you don't watch the ending of the 2nd one. The ending just made me like "WTF JUST HAPPENED!!!" So if you are the one to on a rage on a ending that you don't like. Don't watch this during the night when everyone in your house is asleep, because you are going to wake them up, and possibly the neighborhood. Go on and watch if you are curious, but if you aren't then just skip it. All I give it overall is a 7.
