#BLACK BUTLER CIEL IN WONDERLAND PART 2 FULL#

Our young villain is named Alois Trancy, HIS demon butler is named Claude, and Alois is quite LITERALLY the sort who pulls wings off butterflies, not to mention gouging out a maid's eye in a fit of pique.

#BLACK BUTLER CIEL IN WONDERLAND PART 2 FULL#

We've the introduction of that perennial favorite sort of adversary, one whose backstory and capabilities are similar to the 'hero's' - including having his OWN demon butler- but who, in the words of Tim Burton's Bruce Wayne, has a head full of bad wiring. I liked the Second Season much better, even though, according to Wiki, it wasn't based on the manga. Ciel's not exactly a 'good' kid, but, as the show seems to suggest, morality can be relative, and relative to a lot of the people of the time- even people in authority- he doesn't look that bad.) (The First Season does ill to its most idealistic character, though that character was at least able to influence Ciel's thinking. The First Season seems to be trying for a consistent feeling of dark cynicism (though the antics of Grell kind of diminish it) even the political leadership reeks of corruption in those days, it seems, and although I'm sure the Victorian era really DID have a strong undercurrent of cruelty under its veneer of propriety and sentimentality, that cruelty apparently extended even higher than one could believe possible. And speaking of historical revisionism, the show does its most major number on the Queen herself, but I can't say more. I do recall speculation that this type of individual might have been the killer, but it's one of the less popular Ripper theories certainly Jack's actual identity here was a complete surprise. Given the timeframe (the 1880s), an encounter with Jack the Ripper was inevitable, but Jack's motivation here is a bit unusual. The show's revisionism of the Victorian Empire reminded me a bit (unfortunately) of Le Chevalier D'eon. (Elizabeth's sweet and, if brainless, at least not quite AS brainless as her traveling companion Paula it's kind of a shame that she's engaged to someone who sold their soul to a demon.) Ciel's nominal 'fiancГ©e' Elizabeth has an affection for 'cute' things that ends up with her anticipating cosplay by a century or more. I should also mention that Grell's 'Death Scythe' seems to be intended as humorous anachronism, but this show has LOTS of anachronisms. To me Grell came across as an unflattering caricature of a trans person, and it infuriated me no end that so much of the storyline was given to Grell to carry. Worst of all is Grell Sutcliff, who's a Grim Reaper, but one with an outrageously over-the-top obsession with the show's title character, that Black (=Demonic) Butler, Sebastian. As far as I'm concerned, these guys are just INCREDIBLY annoying. It tries to get some physical comedy out of three klutzy household servants, but it mainly leans on some raving lunatics to try to amuse us- and, since a discussion of the period REQUIRES I put it this way, We Are Not Amused. As for Black Butler.well, maybe not so much.

Among the shows I'm familiar with that attempt it, Princess Resurrection and Moonphase seem the most successful, though Calamity of a Zombie Girl might rate an Honorable Mention. Melding humor and horror so that each complements the other is difficult. When you have a superpowered demon as your personal butler, it's all in a day's work.
