Kuroshitsuji, as well called Black Butler, is an anime based on the manga "Kuroshitsuji" by Yana Toboso. It was directed by Toshiya Shinohara and produced by A-1 Pictures. The anime derives from the original story of the manga, but it was Yana Toboso who still created the story of the anime.

Summary:

"In Victorian-era Europe, a young boy loses everything he once held near and dear to a vicious plot. In his moment of death, he strikes a deal with a demon: his soul, in exchange for revenge. Ciel Phantomhive is now the head of the Phantomhive corporation, handling all business affairs as well as the underground work for the Queen of England. His new partner is a demon butler, Sebastian Michaelis, whose powers as a butler is only surpassed by his strength as a demon.

The story follows the two along with their other servants, as they work to unravel the plot behind Ciel's parents' murder, and the horrendous tragedies that befell Ciel in the month directly after." (source : kissanime.com)

Story (10)

The story is a dark fantasy that mixes well mystery and humor. The dialogues are funny and well written. Sometimes here and there unexpected scenes but that doesn't make the anime less fun to watch.

Art (9)

Beautiful artwork in my opinion. This of course depends on each person but A-1 Pictures did a great job finding this anime his "own style". The clothing of the era is very well drawn despite it's surrealistic story.

Sound (9)

The voice actors ar well chosen. Their voices suite really well with thei character and do a great job impressioning them.
As for the background music, it is in the style and I didn't get a feeling like "oh, this shouldn't be here". The openings and endings are also well chosen and some of them can be catchy.

Character (10)

Each character had their own characteristic (that makes them easy to remember). They don't really change throughout the story (even if sometimes you might get that impression) but it doesn't really matter for the plot.

Enjoyement (10)

Like I stated before, it's mysterious and fun at the same time so yeah, believe you will laugh. The suspence is well build and when you think "oh this is solved" you get another question... So it isn't boring for sure, and very enjoyable.

Overall (10)

I thought it was a very outstanding anime, surely one of my favorites. Good story, amazing characters, nice artstyle...

So yeah, hope this was helpfull and picked your curiosity! ^^
