    The Atmosphere of this Anime is getting interrupted by the Comedy Scenes, for example Tanaka.The first Season has too much Comedy.The Second Season is Kinda unnecessary. The Third Season is the best Season, in my Opinion. Every Episode brings the Plot forward. And there are nearly no comedy scenes, so the Atmosphere isn't interrupted.When you take all of this together this Anime is a 7/10. (without comedy this would be much better).Note:I recommend you to get as less information as possible about a Movie or an Series. It makes it much more interesting.

    This is my favorite anime. I feel this anime is dark with a touch of humor. There is this young boy whose parents died and after being captured made a deal with a demon to serve, protect, and help him get his revenge. The charming dark demon serves Ciel as he is the queens 'Guard dog'. I feel this season has a more whimsical feeling rather than dark because it focuses more on the mission that the queen gives Ciel. In this season there was a lot more of screen time with other minor characters such as Lady Elizabeth, Finney, and Mei-Ren. The time period was Victorian London 1899, with 12 year old Ciel. It has the same kind of feel as Death-Note which I really enjoyed. I do feel like the anime just kind of threw you out there as far as the first couple of episodes because you don't know exactly what is going on and I think that's different and a good thing. This season focuses more on the emotion ties between characters unlike the second season which focuses more on Ceil's psyche. It was very well translated. It wasn't just Japanese to English. The Idian Prince and his servant was kind of random but I think it added a little more spice to the season. I could really connect with the characters which I thought was amazing. I rate this 10/10 and it was an absolute masterpiece.

    This show was and still is my all-time favorite anime, but it's not for everyone. It all depends on the person, so if you really want to know if it is good or bad, watch it for yourself and don't take someone's word for it (you might be missing out on something great!) This show will woo you if you give it the chance to! I must admit, I started the show and after the first 5 minutes, I turned it off because I was unimpressed. Later, I decided to give it another go. Best decision of my life. The characters, mainly Sebastian and Ciel, were really intriguing and had this captivating dynamic which made every situation, from funny to dramatic, entertaining. This is one of those shows that gets better as you watch and the ending is desirable. Watch at least the first 3 or 4 episodes before passing judgment!

    This is a really good supernatural anime with a mix of drama and comedy. I started watching it out of boredom, but quickly got draw into it. The story revolves around about a boy of about 12 who is of noble heritage, Ciel and his butler Sebastian. As episodes go on you find out that Sebastian is in fact a demon, and Ciel made a contract with him, thus when the contract comes to a conclusion Sebastian will have his soul. But after watching a few episodes you get a feeling that Sebastian perhaps in some way cares for Ciel, who is his master fro duration of the contract and Sebastian bound to whatever he is told and to protect Ciel fro any harm. Sebastian is talented in many ways, he is strong, fast, smart and so on, for obvious reason he is a demon after all. He's catch phrase "I am one hell of the butler". The anime is set in the Victorian England, and there is a strong emphasis on English loving their tea time, which I found so fun because it is true. There are supernatural characters apart from the demon butler, such as the reaper and Devil/demon dog. The characters that bring humour to the series are the household servants of Ciel, Finny the gardener, Meirin the maid and Bardroy or Bard the cook, who seem to be clueless to the fact that Sebastian is a demon. There is also Elizabeth/Lizzy Ciels' fiancé who loves him very much and wants nothing but to make him happy. First impression, after a couple of episodes Ciel seemed like an arrogant brat, but after a while you begin to get a real feel of his character. He is a sad and angry boy, who not only lost both of his parents (and later in the show his aunt), but also gone through a lot. As they show a few glimpses that he was tortured profoundly in a some sort of ritual. SO a guess you begin to understand his anger and complete disregard for his own life, and the fact that in a wholehearted consumption of revenge he sold his sole in order to obtain the power necessary to find and carry out revenge on those who done him wrong. This gives the anime a dark note, and there are many sad moments, but nonetheless there are tones of comedy there, and I find it has great balance between them.
