Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (9/12 eps)
I'm really split after watching Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler II. After watching the first few episodes, I was really pleased with the story, not understanding how anyone could be unhappy with the sequel. But now, after watching all of it, I'm not so sure...
Lets get it straight, the art is just as perfectly beautiful as the original, the sound a little less interesting, yet fitting. All the technical stuff is just as the first season. But I am unhappy with the ending. My first thought after watching the last episode was: "I wish I hadn't watched it". Because as joyful as it was to get to watch more of the anime, just as unsatisfied it left me feeling. When I had watched the first season, I was ecstatic. The ending had my heart racing. It was surprisingly creepy, exactly as I wanted it. I felt some kind of pleasant unease. But now, having watched season 2 as well, I don't even feel like watching more (In a bad way - I think a good anime should leave you hungering for more, yet without any unanswered questions). So I guess my advise is: If you are satisfied with the ending of the first season, don't watch the second. Let the satisfaction settle and be pleased with that ending. You can always watch the second season later. I'm going to watch the last episode of season one again - maybe I'll forget the confusing sequel.
