  • It has only been a month since I started watching the first collection of this series, and out of all of Madman's releases this month, this was the one I was most eagerly waiting for hands down. A few days back, Madman recently announced that they will be releasing Black Butler onto television screens in at the very least, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales starting next month, so you have no reason not to experience Black Butler for yourself. For those who have not read my review of the first part should take to reading it HERE and ideally trying to watch some of the first part before reading this to prevent spoilers (Hell, it is not like this will be a negative review given the previous comments). Anyway, all your favorite British accented characters are back in the second part of Black Butler.

  • On sale.... today, is Black Butler, a series that has a very gothic looking front cover and the tones of the series are equally dark, however it provides a unique experience. I haven't done this since my review of Xam'd Collection 1, but I mentioned this series on my facebook page and got some comments from my friends. One of my friends asked me to mention that to him "everyone in this show had some sort of interest in Ciel or other child-like characters (Reworded)" which I suppose it sort of true in a way as well as another comment from another friend stating that "kuroshitsuji rocks!". Anyway, if you want to know more about this series and my thoughts on it, read on for my review of Black Butler Collection 1.
