Black Butler 2 was AWFUL! (Review)

[@mysticalkeyblade759]

The only thing I enjoyed about season 2 were the OVAs. They were pretty enjoyable and I’m so excited for season 4.

[@WeebaLu]

The spider OVA was definitely the best of the season 2 OVA's!

[@stormywolfhowls]

Well the camera arc and the train arc was cool almost like something you'd find in the manga, I said almost. With a few edits and changing a few plot points, It could be very early days stuff.

[@Adagissimo]

omg but why was the parody behind the scenes special actually funny??? 😭😭 like, Alois throwing the script and calling it absolute drivel made it almost seem self aware. Honestly, if they added aliens to black butler it would've saved season 2.

[@arashiuchiha1591]

@@Adagissimo NGL the plot twist of "I am Vincent PHantomhive" fueled an AU of mine where Vincent was a demon who was just letting Ciel believe he had made a contract with a demon, but in reality he and Sebastian are one in and the same and Ciel's contract eye would've just been his actual demon heritage showing through.

[@Poke-ladd]

Lore wise I kind of liked it, cause I always assumed there would be other demons out there with their own agenda and victims/prey I just didn’t like how the villain of the story used their final wish which forced Ciel to be immortal

[@arashiuchiha1591]

I liked the idea of other demon/master pairs, but it just needed to be better and... come on, why did EVERYONE in the damn Trancy manor have to be a demon?

[@bechnokid]

If we're talking about the most useless S2-only character, I definitely agree that it was Hannah, but if we're talking about the most useless character overall in S2, it would have to be poor Grell! I love her to bits, but dear god she was so nonexistent throughout the whole season and did not leave any sort of impact onto the story at all. Either way, thank you for making this video (again)! It was such a delight to watch/listen, since I recently finished that garbage a few weeks ago lol.

[@yourstruly9013]

"this is Sebastian's food that he paid for, so why are they fighting over it?" lmao that line was great

[@lizzzzyizhere]

All season 2 did was make anime only watchers confused about the story after the fact. You have people thinking that Ciel is a demon during Book of Circus.

[@WeebaLu]

I know right? The amount of people who thought Ciel was a demon during the circus arc was insane.

[@arashiuchiha1591]

@@WeebaLu I remember that. The "Hear me out" part of Book of Circus is really the "NO, NO NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, THE LAST HALF OF SEASON 1 AND ALL OF SEASON 2 IS NON CANON DRECK"

[@Poke-ladd]

From what I remember of season 1, a soul can be cleansed to some degree since the angels tried to purge the darkness within Ciel using the grim reapers film- maybe his soul was affected to some extent to the point where it could be possible transferred

[@laxa_7860]

The only thing I liked about season 2, was the fact that the ending was a big “fuck you” to Sebastian

[@Hanako-Kun-t9b]

I hated that so much. I felt so bad for Sebastian.

[@ashblackie4071]

Season 2 didn't happen as far as I'm concerned. I don't mean non-canon because that is obvious, I mean it wasn't made and I have erased it's existence

[@SugarVivStudios]

I gotta respect Yana for reusing Claude’s design for the manga! because nobody in their right mind would waste such a sleek look on such a bad anime ☝️😌

[@CielPhantomhive-h6y]

"Now Ciel wants nothing to do with Sebastian because he now thinks Sebastian murdered his *brother*... That's super-ironic if you read the manga." Which I did ahahaa. I'm laughing more than I should. Amazing video!

[@charko4191]

haha yup btw can you confirm something? Does real Ciel's sacrfice summoned Sebastian or was it Ciel's wish. Couse If that is the case that would mean real Ciel's soul was eaten by Sebastian

[@kathrinlindern2697]

@@charko4191 Sebastian is summoned by the combination of those things - Real!Ciel's death and his soul as the sacrifice, and Our!Ciel's "wish" for revenge and his "blasphemy" - the very strong thoughts/feelings of despair and anger he is experiencing when his brother is killed. Oddly enough, the reason why Ciel makes the contract in the first place is that he (accidentally) sacrificed his brother's soul - just letting Sebastian go would make that a meaningless error and instead he decides to do something about it.

[@Mailed-Knight]

Alois and Shiori have the same problems, they are shackled to Ciel. They both could have been great characters in their own right.

[@KikyoSama_427]

When can we get Alois his own part in the story?? 😭 i really got attached to him when i was younger and watched it for the first time. Even though I'm older now, i still wish he had more of a role than just being a kind-of foil to O!Ciel. If i could have any wish, it would be for Alois to have a spot in the manga. I don't even need him to hate o!Ciel. I just want him to have a little time as his own character without crappy writing and constantly having his entire character revolving around the protagonist I miss him, he deserved better writing 😢

[@arashiuchiha1591]

The season 2 Making of OVA had more arc and character in 30 minutes then the ENTIRETY OF THAT SEASON. HOW!?

[@monostar7]

for my own peace of mind, i eradicated this season from my memory i just pretend it doesn't exist

[@ryxan6968]

I wonder how a season 3 would had looked like, if they would have continued after this.

[@Cya_Synchr0]

When I was younger I didn't get why people hated season 2 of Black Butler like why did it matter if it wasn't canon to the manga, a few years later and Season 2 of The Promised Neverland happens 😳.

[@Bubbletea_69]

Yes I liked a few filler episodes in this season and I still watch it from time to time but overall it's cursed. Love your videos 🌻✨

[@kaminappa]

Theopening song by The Gazette still slaps my momma

[@sagesdream]

I like to think of a darker mirror image

[@The-Black-Death]

Watching this new review finally, I definitely agree with the idea that Black Butler 2 felt like bad fanfic.

[@lostbeanie]

poor sebastian worked so hard and still couldnt get dinner

[@bassy_michaelis_666]

The season we don't speak of 😆 I remember when I saw the first ep of S2, I thought it wasn't black butler lol I hope season 4 isn't like this

[@Lisa-mu6kf]

It wont be, its adapting the manga so its going to be good UNLESS they do what season one did and only adapt a few episodes and make the rest up which i doubt will happen

[@bassy_michaelis_666]

@@Lisa-mu6kf we hope not 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lizzzzyizhere]

@@Lisa-mu6kf They only did that in season 1 because the anime caught up with the manga, so there's no way they'd do it with season 4, since they don't have that excuse. The most they'll do is leave out or add in some small things like they did for the rest of the Book of adaptations.

[@Jaggywiyahh]

Appreciate the review, decided to subscribe. After the next season, I'll check if ye have the next review that I shall seek mi'lady

[@stormywolfhowls]

I don't know if you've watched or read this before but can you do a review on "Trinity blood"? The manga is better than the anime as it's a bit rushed due to the writer passing away but its pretty underrated and could use some attention. Its about vampires, The vatican and krusnik. Heres the synopsis, "Set 900 years after an apocalyptic war between humans and vampires, the series focuses on the ongoing cold war between the Vatican, the human government, and the "New Human Empire", the government of the vampiric Methuselah. Fighting on the Vatican's side is Abel Nightroad, a Krusnik - a vampire that feeds on vampires."

[@ashblackie4071]

Trinity Blood is so good, quality manga with some really nice art

[@kriminal1010]

With all that bad writing, I really enjoyed how, in the ending, every demon who thought they hit the jackpot by signing contracts with 9-10 year olds either got killed (Claude and Hannah) or is destined to eventually starve to death (Sebastian). That's exactly what you get for thinking you can bargain with and deceive literal traumatized children. I wish the manga would end in a similar fashion

[@Hanako-Kun-t9b]

I always wanted Ciel to be happy with Lizzy somehow.

[@jizzaconda6948]

Bad yes, but it somehow still holds a place in my heart 😔

[@Hanako-Kun-t9b]

Even as a kid/teen I hated this series. However I had a huge crush on Claude and I shipped him with Hannah. I also created a fan son for both of them that I named Pico. I also wrote him as one of Alois's fathers victims. A lot of my favourite characters in black butler (after sebastian ) are Lizzy and Doll. Cosplaying doll is easy for me because I looked just like her at the age of twelve. I also related to her personality so much. I also refused to believe she actually died in the book of circus arch and had a theory about Ciel ordering Sebastian so spare her life. My evidence for this was because unlike the other circus members we never see the reapers collect her soul and Ciel's order to Sebastian was never shown to us. I believe if I remember correct he goes "Sebastian I"

[@stinkymrsnow..............]

I actually don’t hate Alois but he deserves to be in a better written adaptation than this

[@the_earltrancy666]

Yeah I completely agree with you except for loving Claude Fastus. I HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH!! I definitely wanted to see more of Alois's role as the queens spider. Also I kinda want Alois to be brought back in Season 4 as like a ghost or something. Just my personal opinions ❤❤❤

[@WeebaLu]

Season 4 of Black Butler is not connected to seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 and any other "book of" title is part of the reboot focusing on the manga. In season 4's case, Ciel is going to a prep school to find Queen Victoria's missing nephew. Yana actually drew Alois in the violet dorm when the arc was still being written at the time and it's very cute! A personal favorite of mine.

[@the_earltrancy666]

@@WeebaLu OH thanks for telling me I didn't know what the story was about yet I just saw the new trailer 😅. Yeah I kinda figured that wasn't going to happen.

[@Poke-ladd]

I thought Lao was critically injured in season 1 not dead

[@WeebaLu]

I'm pretty sure he was supposed to be dead because his last words were like "Maybe I was just a butterfly's dream" or something like that which felt pretty final... It'd also be weird if he never showed up again despite being alive and nearly causing a second opium war 🤣

[@PrimarisBlackshieldDeathwatch]

April 13th is the release date of the public school arc

[@Rhaivanna996]

Off topic, what are your thoughts of Sebastian’s new look in season 4 coming in 2024 🤦‍♀️

[@WeebaLu]

I miss how sexy A-1 Pictures made him 😔 It's okay, I don't see sexy Sebastian yet in the art style so I guess it's all about just waiting until we see the new season fully animated to see if they'll pull off Sebastian's spicy panels in the school arc. xD

[@DikgangMorokaDeekayrsa]

I love your voice😂😂

[@jayDee92133]

Now I don't know much about Black Butler but damn this sounds worse than Tokyo Ghoul season 2..

[@WeebaLu]

Tokyo Ghoul season 2 was just painfully boring to me. I loved the first season but the second was so boring that I couldn't finish it lol

[@jayDee92133]

@@WeebaLu You ain't miss much lu 😂

[@Mailed-Knight]

Yeah, Juuzou was the only good part of the season, even if they botched his character. Ironically the best part of both S2's is the femboy.

[@Lisa-mu6kf]

If you watch the cannon episodes or read the manga its actually very good!!

[@nerdy_spooks]

Okay but talking about season one ngl my favorite anime exclusive character is Ash- Idk he was just crazy lol and his expressions are priceless.

[@queeniedramanicole9427]

Oh my god! I knew you were talking about BB but oh my god! I didn't think you were talking about Season 2 again! But I'm so happy that you are because I fucking hate this season. There are so many issues. One of them is a certain new butler, his master, the maid...and..who are the other guys again!? XD Edit:I was definitely mixed on Alois when I first watched the season when I was in middle school. Nowadays and recently, I actually think he's entertaining and fucked up, but what happened to him was messed up and I really feel bad for him. Claude is a strange case for me. To me, he was just stale and stoic, which is the point, but man, every single time I saw him, I just missed Sebastian so much. I really wished he didn't start acting so fucking weird when he tasted Ciel's blood. After that, he just became so giddy and creepy. And I was just turned off. Then again, when I did write my horrible BB fanfictions, I always included him for a former close friend of mine because she loved him so much. I just wished he and Alois had more agency as characters and not foils to Ciel and Sebastian. As for Hannah, I just..despise her XD I think she's very pretty and kind of cool, but she's so sexualized, abused, and annoying that I just can't like her. She is literally the reason why the ending sucks so much.
