It hasn’t been too long since the last season was premiered and a whole lot of manga still hasn’t been covered in the anime. ‘Black Butler’ season 1 premiered on October 3, 2008, which was followed by a season 2 in 2010, and then came ‘Black Butler: Book of Circus’ in 2014. Even the manga is way ahead of the series so that again is something worth checking out.īlack Butler Season 4 Release Date: When will it premiere? The show’s production value and animation are also quite brilliant. But till then if you have only seen the anime series, then you should surely take a look at the feature films and OVAs that ‘Black Butler’ has come up with. There is also a lot of manga material that still needs to be animated and also the endings of the recent OVAs suggest a new season. So a new season is definitely on the way. ‘Black Butler’ is quite a popular anime maybe not as much as ‘One Piece’ and ‘ Naruto‘, but it still is watched and loved by many. If you’re too familiar with modern anime that involve too many girls just for Ecchi, then you might want to give this one a pass.

The anime is filled with strong visuals backed up by witty lines and an “edge-of-your-seat” plot, but I would still say that it’s not everyone’s piece of cake because it has a more classic Victorian feel to it. The character mannerisms go incredibly well with the voice acting and the best part is how the story moves forward with a fine touch of flashbacks here and there. The characters are rich and have been designed really well.

It is what you’d would call a shotacon anime and it actually does a great job with what it is at its core.

‘Black Butler’ is not a clichéd “heterosexual relationships” anime.

Similarly, the Japanese have their own Shojo series like ‘We Were There’ and ‘Say I Love You’, where your typical complicated heterosexual relationships flourish. One example of this is the world’s obsessions with the Twilight series. Heterosexual relationships of fantasy creatures have been a common theme not just in the anime world but in Hollywood as well. “ Hentai” anime started disappearing from TV broadcasts and became more of ONAs as they were replaced with ones that are more mellow and subtle, focusing more on relationships rather than the “ ecchi” aspects. Soon after this, the Japanese government started acting out on overly sexualized anime and that’s how so many of them evolved to becomes what we see today.
