¿Would you sell your soul to get what you want? Kuroshitsuji; Review (anime)

Kuroshitsuji also named as the black butler, is based on a Japanese manga created by Yana Toboso, who after the success of it, decided to launch the series that was published by Square Enix publishing house, thus coming out with a great first season constituted by 24 chapters plus 1 ova.

Maybe many who are unaware of these issues will be asked what is anime or manga ?, ova? .. For that reason I will leave some brief concepts so that they can be oriented a bit on the subject.

I'm very motivated to talk about this because anime is one of my biggest hobbies besides video games as you can see if you take a look at my blog. First of all I will start talking to you about this anime not because it is the best, but because of its history and development, it really caught me leaving me at the end with small uncertainties.

However before I start talking to you about this fabulous anime, I need to give you some guidance on this subject;

Kuroshitsuji will mainly tell us the story of a young boy of about 12 or 13 years old called Ciel Phantomhive, who after a series of events and the death of his parents becomes the heir of all the goods and companies dedicated to various types of business from construction, pastry, among others.

After his parents died Ciel is involved in a thirst for revenge which leads him to contact beings from beyond, finding a demon with whom he carries out a contract where this demon named Sebastian Michaelis would follow all orders of Ciel Due to the contract, with the mission of finding those who murdered his parents and Ciel achieved his revenge with what they wanted the destruction for the Phantomhive family, while that mission is executed Sebastian will serve and protect Ciel and will pose as a butler over the luxurious Phantomhive mansion.

This contract is symbolized in the right eye of our main character, which is why he always uses a patch; while Sebastian we can see with the symbol in his left hand which is why he always wears gloves.

However all this with a price that Ciel will have to pay with his soul when said revenge is concluded.

In the course of the story Ciel and Sebastian will solve mysteries and crimes while investigating those involved in the death of their parents, finding themselves on the road with numerous characters that will fill this anime with action and fantasy, although not everything will be gloomy and bad in this Anime since many scenes of comedy and daily life will be involved.

This is not all because this anime will have a second season in which we will see two new characters, Claude and Alois Trancy, who together with Sebastian and Ciel form a contract.

To not spoil them about the first season I will briefly explain what this second part brings.

This 2nd season will be composed of 12 episodes that will tell us the story of these 2 new characters with the tragic past of Alois Trancy and the link with Claude, not leaving behind our main characters of all the anime Ciel and Sebastian.

Highlighting that this 2nd part does not follow the manga for what would be a separate story that created the same who made the first adaptation considering itself as an alternative and unofficial world of the series.

The first season of this anime as I said above will be composed of 24 chapters and 1 ova, where our protagonist along with his butler will be solving cases of crime, all wrapped up in mystery and action, the only thing that made me frustrating is that there were times like the chapters that made you weighed with the same routine and did not go to the point of the whole story, and there were many chapters as filling. Despite this criticism, the anime does not cease to be a magnificent one that without a doubt I know would hook more than one.

On the other hand I loved everything that was recorded in the 2nd season although I was disappointed enough to learn that the story was not original manga.

I have to highlight one of the best openings of all the anime in general "shiver" which is repeated in the 2nd season which I do not dislike at all and I think that everyone who has seen Kuroshitsuji agrees that no doubt some the opening was brutal, so I'll leave the video so you can enjoy it and I hope you like it as much as I do.
