so that was definitely something

Finished Black Butler I and II on Netflix.

...what the everloving hell did I just watch? I'm not complaining, but I had no idea science had advanced far enough to distribute acid via cable. That's quite a feat, and also, admittedly, I don't think my life could have had meaning if I hadn't seen Sebastian grow a cotton-tail.

I really need the manga now. Like, right now yesterday.



I have to admit, I felt horrible for him, even if he is a psychopath, and boy, they just didn't even bother subtexting anything about his life, did they? Not like the watcher didn't get it with the bath (or the very useful villagers bemoaning the poor boys' purity, Jesus), but throw in a bedroom scene just in case we mistook this for some totally platonic role playing?

Jesus, I hate Claude. The fucker.



Is there going to be a III or are they leaving me desperately confused forever in the anime version?

Amen, sister!
There's a film in the works -- with a *female* Ceil! No plans for a continued anime series, but I think the manga goes on. I'm ordering books now from Amazon, and cruising the wiki and the online forums.

I think II is a distinct alternate timeline from I, and I expect the manga to have a whole separate ending again.

Black Butler has the most perfect ever ending episodes, on both seasons. Just perfect.

I may or may not own a t-shirt. >.>

The manga is a lot better, but also a lot more horrifying.
