Kuroshitsuji: Book Of Circus



Hello, today I will be introducing you one of my all-time favorite anime series. Well this anime is actually ongoing but it is linked to other two series that shares the same name. Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus is the anime. This anime is in the Victorian-era Europe which depicts a story about young boy named Ciel Phantomhive who have made a deal with a demon (who became his butler named Sebastian Michaelis after the contract is sealed) with his soul for revenge on people who have humiliated him and killed both of his parents. Due to the death of his parents, he succeeded his family named at the tender age of 12 handling his family business affairs along with his family’s secret identity which as the Queen’s guard dog. As the guard dog, he have to handle underground work - serial killers, drugs, illegal immigrants whatsoever. Besides Sebastian, he too recruited three more servants ( Bardroy- chef, Finnian- Gardener. Mey-rin – maid). However, these three servants always messes up their work in some way or another but they all have special abilities. Interested in knowing what abilities they have? It’s a secret. You should find it out yourself.
The above summary is just about the beginner's information, this particular Book of Circus series, it reflects only on Noah’s Ark Circus Arc from the original manga. It is about a travelling circus arriving London for their circus performance, however there are signs of missing children from the cities they have visited and performed during the period of them at those cities. This made the Queen to be concerned about the children in London would be the next batch of children who will get missing.  In order to solve the Queen’s concern, Ciel would have infiltrate into the Noah’s Ark Circus to find out the missing children. Did he succeed in finding those children? Stay tuned to this anime series to find out.

Okay, time for my reviews. Well, as I have said before this is my all-time favorite anime series. As this story have a hint of supernatural and along with a large splash of humor which sparks my interest and attracted me. Firstly, Ciel is so adorable that I have the urged to cuddle him (if he is real) and Sebastian is so handsome and his famous line “I’m one hell of a butler” and “Yes, My Lord” have made him more than plain charming, in addition his loved for cats is on a different level from other fellow anime cat lovers. Because of Sebastian, my fear for demon is overwritten. Well, how can a demon this hot be scary?


Secondly, this ongoing anime series have comedic scenes that made me laugh heartily. For example:

Thirdly, I seriously hate those people who used Ciel as a sacrificial lamb to summon a demon for their own wishes but they did not succeed as the one that summon the demon is Ciel which gave him the opportunity to get revenge for his parents.



The arts of this series is getting defined than the previous two seasons. However, I still prefer the first season's illustration as it looks better and not as bright and light-colored as this new series.
                           From this:  
                               To this:
FUN FACT:  Ciel Phantomhive is actually voiced acted by a female voice actor. So I’m sure that you will be shocked when you heard his voice as his voiced doesn’t sounds like a female at all.


One more thing, the ending songs for these Kuroshitsuji series are my favorites. As they give the listeners a feeling of the despair and emptiness the main characters are feeling.

Thus this concludes my review for this anime, if you want to know more about this anime, you can watched it from this link: http://www.animehere.com/anime/kuroshitsuji-book-of-circus.html

Despite the fact that this is the third series of Kuroshitsuji, it does not have much links with the first two series as this series is adapted from the manga while the first two series have only adapt some parts from the manga and the rest of the storylines are not linked to the manga thus you can watch this series without the knowledge of the previous two. Here is the teaser of this series.


To understand more, check this anime out.

However this part i do not understand ''Thirdly, I seriously hate those people who used Ciel as a sacrificial lamb to summon a demon for their own wishes but they did not succeed as the one that summon the demon is Ciel which gave him the opportunity to get revenge for his parents.'' i think its because i didn't read the manga . Last note , i know that ciel's voice actor is a female :D

    1. Thanks for your comment, for.the part that you do not understand, this anime series will touch on it in the first episode. Which is quite a bloody scene if I may say.
