Black Butler Is Back !! But With A New Sebastian.. 

I don't care about the animations, Sebastian is back and this is all that matters.

I really miss sebs red eyes!!!! GIVE BAVK HIS HOT RED EYES PLEASE I BEG U😭

I like the old animation for sebastian.

idc what other people say i love the new arc and designs i think its great to see ciel less depressed and more around people his age and cuteness. he's adorbs

i personally love the animation, it fits the setting of this arc extremely well - yes black butler is dark and gothic but this arc takes place in a school setting - a place that is traditionally pretty mundane and cheery for most of the students, and it’s Ciel’s first time interacting with kids his age - i think the vibes feeling out of place for some viewers actually matches how Ciel must feel - he is way out of his comfort zone, only really knowing how to communicate with adults, not other kids. i think as the story progresses it’ll feel more connected as Ciel finds his footing - he’s still navigating Weston and learning how to behave and interact with everyone. i think the art and the music fits this very well. i’m really excited for the cricket tournament where ciel can show his true colors (manipulative) and i think the climax of the story is going to be very intense and extremely intriguing!! i also think this arc is just a breath of fresh air, and is a bit of petty simple fun that Ciel doesn’t get to deal with, poor boy is always dealing with the most traumatic events imaginable

Honestly I’m upset about the artstyle change, cause I like the “old anime” style that they kinda had it was also very unique but now with them changing it it kinda looks like this casual normal school anime’s especially with the bubble highlights and the detailed eyelashes, I just prefer the old style, but I am really happy the show is back, and it’s not like I can force them to change it. but even this seems cool and I’ll still be willing to watch it

We might not have YOI: ice adolescence, but we have a new season of Black Butler! This year is full of surprises 😅

And you forgot to mention 2 OVA's "Book of Murder"🤕

The problem was at the trailer of this current season. His face was Wrongggg It looked really circular and nonsebastian's style. Now at the anime chapster it looks fixed and like Yana toboso style

I personally don't mind Sebastian's new look and a lot of people on Twitter also like it XD I think the most important thing is that we're getting this new season and that the adaptation is good! Btw the softer design kind of matches Yana Toboso's newer style as well! She soften Sebastian's features a lot, because she always feels the need to one up herself and make him prettier XD (don't quote me on that. It's an info I read at some point, but the first half of the sentence is based on my observation). Overall I am truly the happiest with this new season! OP and ED incredible, the animation is GORGEOUS, the adaptation is faithful and the keep showing us Sebastian's kitten fangs!

Black Butler is one of my very very favorite anime I'm glad it's back now I'm excited after I watch the first episode. ❤❤❤

I actually really love the new art

The ending song is gorgeous too.

I watched the new episode but i was so confused and turns out i missed a whole season before s4💀

i'm a big fan the manga, i have tom 1 to 21, but i stopped bcz of money issues (back in 2016 ~) then the op2 of Black butler came back in my head out of nowhere and i just .. "OH THIS MANGA EXISTS I FORGOR" and i saw that multiple seasons came out so... yeah i m gonna watch all over again (without the s2 filler even tho i like it) i still have the manga in my mind so i want to see if the adaptation is good !

The Artstyle looks amazing I think and as long as the characters are not changed I'll love it, like my 12 year old self is screaming rn, I'm 21 years old now so yeah ITS BEEN A LONG TIME

The new design for Sebby is...something. I find the emphasized eyelashes, the tiny fangs, and the thick linework for his lips very distracting, even the way his hair is done is just...no. It's too much. I revisited S1 and S2 just a little while ago (complete episodes, courtesy of Muse Asia here on YT, yay), and the simplicity of his original design is WAY better. I like how his eyes can do the talking just by the shade of them, that akuma na aka. Less is more. I just can't with the new design. The fangs, in particular, is just a heavy-handed detail; fans already know he is a demon, and this is canonically, the second season (if we don't count Circus and Murder).

The new style is good, the animation is good, but I will always prefer the old Sebastian design. He looks so soft now. I miss his red eyes.

I miss Sebastian's fierce look

This video E X A C T L Y speaks my thoughts

BLACK BUTLER! YEAH! MORE!!!

Sebastian's old artstyle was the best, give his blood red eyes back!!! Ciel looks gorgeous this season though.

This arc is so freaking funny!! I remember laughing my ass off when I read it on the manga 😂

As a black Butler fan since 2008. I understand that the fans are not liking the new art style but honestly, I think it’s really good that we do have the new art style because I understand that we haven’t had any news for the last seven years and they just threw a softball at us of this new anime season and I love the fact that it’s getting picked back up because I was thinking about it a year before I saw a video a friend of mine sent me and when I saw it, I said oh my gosh, the art style looks so pretty and clover works. Did a very beautiful job on public school arc I understand A1 pictures had their reasons but again I’m glad that the show got picked back up and hopefully will be able to get some new merch because I’m kind of running out of merch ideas I want to pick up plus I’ve always wanted to for my favorite demon butler Sebastian

this artstyle makes sebastian look more...human, less pale and slender, same for ciel,, he looks too healthy to be an asthmatic kid dealing with traumas left and right😭🙏 but nonetheless I'm happy because better something than nothing! and it's been 7 years!!! I missed them so much my heart is rlly happy now hehe

aa you didnt mention book of murder, the OVAs or the stage play / musical 😭😭

I really miss and love the old animation style of the 1st and 2nd season

Ngl i got used to it, now that the 4th episode is out and he looks different from the trailer. But 2017 BoA Sebastian is superior. Your right he looks so soft boy, babygirl wife coded but it's ok. I still love him😂

He's back kyaaaa He's back love both master and butler

The first season animation was by far the best. At least it's not season 2 animation. They made Sebastian look weird.

So many people in the comments clearly haven't read the manga... and I hate how people keep comparing it to the old anime, it's supposed to be based on the MANGA not the original filler infested crap we got before. You need to get that old anime out of your mind. The old anime designs were awful. This new one is better.

I havent seen the Book of Atlantic yet (i was gonna wait until it was all released to binge but i forgot about it) So now i’m rereading the manga instead. I’m at the start of the Circus arc so i have a lot to catch up to 😅💪

Listen i don’t know how pp don’t get confused with how many plot twists there was when I watched the anime especially Angelina omg she literally went from a maid to an angel to a person that likes to wipe pp to a man then an angel of death like 😅 give me a break

I hate the animation so much. It is so bright, the old animation actually looks vintage which matches the era it is set in. They took the 'black' out of 'Black' Butler here. The random sparkles flying around remind me of a child on an editing app going ham. Plus the random long cuts to a black screen were so bad. I love Seb's fangs, but both characters' eyelashes are horrendous. A lot of the animation feels AI generated. I am pissed because it is such an iconic show, coming back after so long, and there is so much potential they are wasting. Ofc it is just the first episode but I don't exactly have high hopes from this season. Some things were great but mostly, I was rather disappointed. Will still eat it up though lol

Don't forget about Book of Murder!

I perfer some of the older Character Designs (not Animation) but The Animation and comp is definitely superior

DVD release, in July 2024

THIS year is best Black Butler and Konosuba And Slime and Re:zero season 3 we are eating 🔥 as Re:zero Novel reader I AM Happy 🥳

What about book of murder? Did you like that I wonder

Sebastian become cuter 🤣🤣🤣

Ciel ya están listos ron y ginny weasley con su uniforme de grinfindor para espérate en la escuela 🏫 ❤

Idk why ppl don't like the art style and complain so much about it, as long it follows the manga everything will be fine, I hardly care how it looks even though it looks beautiful to me.

I used to like Sebastian and not give much of a crap about Ciel brat. But now that I am older I preffer Ciel all along instead Sebastian and.. before you call the police on me, I mean in the sense "Wow, literally me".

You didn’t mention “Book of Murder.” It comes between Book of Circus (season 3) and Book of the Atlantic (the movie). Have you not seen it? It’s quite good!

i loved the second season honestly! Yes it wasnt canon (and the whole thing with Ciel was a bit too much and didnt make sense for me lol) but nevertheless it still had an enjoyable story when it came to Alois and his house. I love how Alois’ story ended and after learning more about Hannah and Luka it really got me in the feels. To this day Alois is still in my (long) list of my favorite characters!

I need to get the rest of the manga 😭 but it's hard to find them all

Sebastian=Sebastian and Sebastian=Dadd-

The reason the last few years of manga are so poor is the Twisted Wonderland. And tnat's a huge shame, you can even see that Toboso don't really draw the most detailed version od Kuroshitsuji new chapter. And as I'm happy to see nea animated series, after.watching 3 episodes I feel like they're so flat. Domparing to BOC it's just weak. But I still hope it will get better, was waiting too long not to get something amazing like BOC, BOM and BOTA 😂.

I didn't even know there's a new season, so I'm glad I found your video! I wonder if it's the School Arc or just a side project that isn't canon? Gonna check it out. But the manga is really bad at the moment. It's just a stream of endless backstories for secondary characters. To me this last arc feels like the author is desperately stalling for time to avoid ending the manga. At this point I lost all interest towards these secondary characters, I just want the plot to actually move forward, please... So I don't actually recommend anyone to read the manga in the state that it's now, unless they're fine with being left hanging for (likely) years more. It poses many questions and then refuses to address them, which is so very frustrating. Maybe this is how manga is supposed to be... but I read another ongoing manga before and the experience wasn't even remotely this frustrating! The pace of its story was much faster. And all the recent chapters (of Black Butler) are so tiny.

SEBASTIAN IS BACK BITS!

3:53 where to watch episode 1

I like Sebastian’s new look, I think he’s still handsome and I like Sebastian’s original look because sticks to the manga art style. I can appreciate both, they have different charms. Something I can’t deal with? Another filler non canon season. So I hope they stick to the plot. Super happy it’s back 🥰

You forgot the The book of Murder after the Book of Circus 😭

I NEED TO KNOW WHERE YALL WATCH IT

I really recommend skipping the second season, It's a waste of time and ruined the beauty of the whole thing

It's damn good there's nothing wrong with the animation unlike Mikasa in AOT like she turned like a dude LOL

rewl

I was like end First EP he said think YES My Lord I like All Season But Wen I re Watch again I Will Only Watch Canon stuff not filler in Naruto filler are Fine but NOT Black Butler and I plan to read manga soon And new Sub 👍

Yeah, Ciel looks fine, I feel like they took the old art style and the book of circus art style and combined them. New Sebastian literally just makes me want to die, not in a good way. Sebastian was that character that was always drawn very true to the original manga art style of Yana Toboso, he is a being that does not age, he should not change. I don't know why they did this, but I believe it is due to the overall anime styles currently shifting all to fit today's standards. Newer anime styles all look the same, very blobby and over-overexaggerated. I really hope this era of uncanny art styles comes to an end soon. I miss the 2000s. And I wasn't even legal back then.

Wait im so confused cuz i watched the ending were he died and had his soul taken away like intended

That's Sebastian? He looks like Alois' butler. I couldn't recognize him at all. ..Well, we're grateful.. I like Alois & his butler too.. okay..

My ex best friend was obsessed with this show. She doosnt deserve to see this new one.

The new art style is alright but a little too much. I really liked the art style for all book of movies.

I don't mind soft boys but not sebastian. D: Liked your vid.

The new animation looks more true to the manga though?

I like the new artstyle, but the grip s2 artstyle still has on me,, it's been over a decade i think 😅

This is really good arc i have read the manga and animation is very good but new ending is better

I am just not sold on the arc. Haven't watched it yet, but it makes very little sense to me. Ciel is a nobel, business man with private tutors and secret affairs. Guess I will just have to let myself get convinced. Also where does it fit in the plot line? I just grrr. Not sure about it

they babygirl-ified sebas-chan too much :/

Yaoi but it's not

Not the biggest fan of the manga, the fanservice is a huge ew for me, but the overall plot I find interesting enough to follow through and read. I think they're copying the manga's shift in artstyle like how s4 of attack on titan copied the manga's artstyle compared to the last 3 seasons

claude is cool and i enjoyed season 2 a lot, sebastian sucks i don't like it now it feels so wrong, and it comes from me who usually doesn't care about animation or anything technical about it; but man does he suck ahah

That is amazing that the fandom finally gets the new season! By the internet standards, we are practically ancient, so, it feels great that we are still catered to! Having said that, I am not happy with how the season looks like, and I dislike the character designs so much. It looks like everyone, including Ciel and other children, got botox injections, especially when it comes to lips. Redmond is the biggest offender to me here. Why did they have to give them kooleen-certified juicy lips? I cannot get over the mouth animations as well, they look so junky. Everyone looks aged down and baby-boy-fied, and it is so weird. And Sebastian is not a demon any more, he is a 25 year old trust fund baby on some weird poor people cosplay trip at a school. I would like to know how scary scenes are going to look in this season, because I have no idea how you translate this colorful speciment into something horror-esque. Will I watch the season? Sure, I watched the second season after all. And I really hope I will like it more than the second season.

Well I have to say that I was waiting so bad but I didn't like how the story was going. I mean the frames were wroooooong. Some frames were ugly! Sometimes too short(just like a manga being a little animated)! It was not funny anymore. And yeah, I prefer the ancient design also 💀🥹
