Kuroshitsuji slips into this setting as comfortably as if it were the finest Saville Row bespoke suit. Read more

I guess “Zombies on a Boat” just doesn’t have the same ring to it… Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder (OVA) – 02
Coming on the heels of its best season, Kuroshitsuji delivers its best OVA – and maybe the best OVA I’ve seen in many a year. Judging from the lack of reaction to the post on Part 1 of “Book of Murder”, I’m not sure how many of you are engaged […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder (OVA) – 01
This is one twisted, bloody world that’s always a joy to return to. I mentioned this in one of my posts for “Book of Circus”, but I’m always impressed by how immersive Kuroshitsuji is. We throw around the term “world-building” a lot when discussing anime, but this series is a […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – 10 (End) and Series Review
It’s pretty much official – Summer scored at least one spot in the year-end Top 10 list. Author’s Note: This post contains spoilers from events in the manga which occur during the timeline covered in this episode, but which somewhat differ from the anime version. Read at your own risk. […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – 09
Damn, that’s some depressing stuff right there. I would have thought having read all this (almost – the anime has added a few bits and pieces) in the manga would have prepared me for the shuddering impact of “Book of Circus”. But seeing these events play out live, with characters […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – 08
Side characters in Kuroshitsuji really shouldn’t buy any green bananas. A few weeks ago a commenter (I apologize for forgetting which one of you it was) mentioned that “Book of Circus” bears a certain resemblance to last year’s Rozen Maiden Zuruckspulen. And as time passes I sort of see it, […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – 07
When it comes to circuses, even the “normal” ones are pretty creepy. Throw in the mix of plot elements we see in Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus and you take the skeeve factor off the charts. As I’ve said before, I think this scenario is pretty much a perfect storm for […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – 06
Another masterful episode by the most consistent show of the season. It seems to me that the landscape of Kuroshitsuji is basically made up of two types of characters (I almost said “people” there, but that would be imprecise), victims and those who exploit them. And that the real drama […] Read more
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – 05
I’m not so sure Kuroshitsuji isn’t the best new series of the season. I can’t help but wonder why more people aren’t watching Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus – or, if they are, why they aren’t talking about it. The series scores highly on sites like Anime-planet and MAL, and seems […] Read more
