Jumping into what skindeep seemed to me was a story about a different household and different characters, with what the staff trolled me to believe, surprised me when Sebastian made a grand entrance in the first episode, both startling and uplifting me. Why the staff only advertised the Alois Trancy household, and only that household, is beyond me, since I was sure many of the fans from the first season wouldn't be in the least bit interested in a complete new plate of characters for a 'second season'.

Entering this with just a bit of a curiosity I was overwhelmed by how much faster the plot drills me this season. With very little filler it really just cuts out the middleman and just digs into the most important parts. And that being the conflict between Trancy Household and the Phantomhive household. Both which duke it out till the bitter end. Claude and Alois I feel make the perfect foil to Sebastian and Ciel, so this series turns out to be more suspenseful than ever.

Great dynamics, appearances, suspense and turns in the plot make this season substantially better, but I feel like the last few episodes were a bit.. disappointing to me, personally. It really leaves the door open but in the same way someone whose door was forcibly removed does.

All in all, the staff haven't really got the hang of making climatic endings yet, assuming that I knew what was going on or they were just confusing me on purpose, but I can tell a lot of effort was put into this season and I enjoyed it for what it was worth.
