It's haunting, lyrical, and so emotion-filled. The opening and ending themes fit the anime to a tee the 2nd ending, Lacrimosa by Kalafina, especially fits the ominous ending the anime is barreling towards when this ending comes in. It added something really unique to an already beautiful track of music. There was use throughout the anime of a really fast beat chanting/droning thing used towards some combat and many plot-revealing scenes that I found particularly innovative and unusual.
BLACK BUTLER CHARACTERS AGES FULL
It's full of fast consistent beats for the fighting, chants and drones for the dark, plot-filled moments, sad female-filled melodies for the gut-wrenchingly sad parts, and a soft operatic finish for the final anime finale. Every single piece of music adds to the atmosphere of this anime and leaves a person breathless. This is the crowning glory in my opinion. But do be warned I wouldn't let kids watch this. Not that it's gratuitous, every scene with it almost requires it and the blood adds to the atmosphere. You will not be disappointed here! Just a slight warning, though, this anime doesn't shirk from blood. It almost seemed to reflect character emotions and fates/destinies as well as set the mood for the anime. Besides just the lighting, the art conveyed the atmosphere so much. If they were experiencing light-hearted birthday parties or servant antics, colors were bright, vibrant, and day-filled. If the characters were experiencing a dark and horrific scene, shadows and reds played big parts. I don't see that a lot in anime and found it very appropriate for this title. An aspect I noticed a lot in this anime was lighting. From the fight scenes to humorous antics to zany parties to heart-wrenching death scenes, absolutely everything here is flows so smoothly and sweetly. BEAUTIFUL!!!! The animation flows so gorgeously in this anime. If everything had been addressed here, this would have been a DEFINITE perfect 10.Ī simple word here. One detail that they didn't address did leave me a bit peeved, but my mind made a connection with another story aspect that I could guess was the answer. While these details didn't sour the complete story for me (hence the 9), they might sour it for someone else. After watching the ending, I was left with some unanswered questions regarding some of the details here. Now that I've mentioned the good, let's talk about why I couldn't give this aspect a perfect 10. I never know what I'm going to see when watching something like this. For me, that's one of the best aspects of this story is those little plot twists.

I was left gasping like fish more than once here. You'll also need to be paying close attention to all the plot twists! These little suckers come out of NOWHERE and twist the story into a completely different direction that one would expect. This is a thinking anime that touches on a ton of dark and deep issues.

I wouldn't recommend this show if you're just looking for some simple anime that would kill an afternoon. I'll definitely have to do some re-watching to get all the little nuances and plot points down. There's just so much depth, and it's so cerebral. The story of this show is something else. I'm sad to see it end 'cause I want more of this world, but, on the other hand, I'm glad it's got a definitive ending and isn't really leaving us cliff-hanging. those there, though, this anime is one of the best things I've seen in a while, even better than Hikaru no Go which had be so wrapped up spring break.

This would be my first review to be an absolute 10 in score if there weren't just a few unanswered questions and assumed understanding after everything was said and done. It's got beautiful and THICK plot, hidden meanings, a GORGEOUS musical score, wonderful and zany characters, and enough emotional hitting power to make me keep a tissue box handy for those sad and happy tears. Holy flippin' A!!! Where to even begin with this anime?! There is so much here that I look for in an anime I even added it to my favorites list before I was even done watching.
