I have slowly been unveiling Madman Entertainment’s June 2012 release slate over the course of this month, and the next title I can announce is their release of Black Butler II (Black Butler Season 2), following on from their two volume release of season one last year, both of which I reviewed HERE and HERE. Unlike the first season which consisted of 24 main episodes, this collection will be of a single complete collection release consisting of the 12 episode season and 6 OVA episodes.
I have included information on the release below… do note that the price will not be known until next month.
Black Butler II (Kuroshitsuji II) Season 2 + OVA Collection
DVD/Blu-ray | Hybrid | 450 Minutes
When last we saw dear Sebastian, he was poised to feast on the ripened soul of his young master. Unfortunately for the debonair demon, there’s a new butler in town… Enter Claude Faustus, a malevolent manservant uninspired by the drab flavor of his own contracted master, Alois Trancy. This pedestrian lad holds no allure for Claude, so the bespectacled butler sets his sights on a finer delicacy from the menu of the damned: none other than Ciel Phantomhive. And so begins a devilish dance of death starring crow and spider. The demonic duel rages beyond the limits of good taste, culminating in a debaucherous maze of madness pitting butler against butler. Sebastian and Claude: two ravenous rakehells filled with the power of darkness and locked in a macabre battle for the soiled soul of the young master they so long to savor/devour.
