The month of October isn't over yet! I wracked my brain to try to figure out what Halloween themed thing I could talk about this week and I came up with kuroshitsuji, a demon butler is definitely something that could make you shiver but at the same time not so scary until he decides to eat your soul. If you don't know what this anime is about well heres a brief explanation. The anime is places in the Victorian era and is about a boy named Ciel Phantomhive who is known as the Queen's watch dog as he fulfills the wishes that the Queen cannot handle out in the open. Seems simple enough but that is not all Ciel is only thirteen and has come to be the Queen's Dog through tragedy. While still a child a fire engulfed his mansion and killed all his family leaving no remains of the Phantomhive family existence, he too was thought to have died in this fire but two years later he returned to his old home with nothing except for a mysterious black butler, Sebastian Michaelis. This butler is the best of the best completing even the most troubling task in a matter of seconds and completing all his masters wishes wonderfully, he is of course "One hell of a butler". This amazing butler and young master have quite the secret being that the butler is actually a demon who only promises to keep helping the young master until he can enact his revenge on the people who killed his parents. As the Queen's Watch Dogs Ciel goes against many enemies slowly getting closer to the men that killed his parents but at the same time becoming steps closer to losing his soul.
The anime is quite fun throwing within it some dark humor as well as making light of other wise not so bright situations. The supernatural fighting against an eccentric grim reaper would be the prime example of this but while the anime has its fun moment there are many time where the seriousness of things do get addressed. All in all its a anime I would recommend for the Halloween times as well as any other time of the year. Now though I do love the anime the manga ,which is still ongoing last time I checked, is wickedly wonderful the feeling the drawing style gives off fits the story line perfectly and you get more things explained to you than in the anime, but if you're looking for a quick fix the anime is always there and will get you acquainted with our haunting main characters. That being said the dark season of Halloween is almost ending so until the clock strikes mid night on the 31st, be safe and watch out for those dreadful ghost and ghouls. Happy Halloween!
またね！
Matane!
