Kuroshitsuji Season 2
Hmm this is interesting...taken from the Kuroshitsuji comm courtesy spacexat
New young master and butler... No sign of Ciel or Sebastian... Out in July. edit: The preview shown had the new butler "Claude Faustus" (クロード・フォースタス) serving tea for his master. He will be voiced by Takahiro Sakurai 櫻井孝宏. He called his young master "your highness", I didn't catch the name for the master but he will be voiced by Nana Mizuki 水樹奈々. There was no mention of any other characters but they did say it will air in July. Im...shocked really. As much as Im glad to hear TakaSaku will be voicing the new butler, Kuroshitsuji with out Sebby and Ciel is just...weird. Comments? Full report http://bleachasylum.com/threads/1409...ine-Event-Info Ill add any news I find but so far not even ANN has a listing for this. Btw I renamed the other thread Kuro Shitsuji Season 1 as too avoid confusion.

No Ciel and Sebastian? How are things gonna play out anyways? Now I don't know how excited I am for S2 any more... With no Ciel and Sebby, things won't feel like Kuroshitsuji... You're right, it's pretty shocking.

Im guessing itll be totally original material though I have no idea where theyre going with it. Since TakaSaku is the butler Im watching but Im gonna try not to compare it to the orginal, just another "chapter" I guess in the saga.

Seems like a spinoff, not fit to be stamped with a "Season 2" label, but perhaps with a unique subtitle (Another Butler, etc.). As an anime original, this could be really hit-or-miss. If it is anything like Ga-Rei Zero then that'll be great.
As for the main story, I would like the series to be completely remade when the manga is finished/almost finished, like with Fullmetal Alchemist. |

I mean, I love Sakurai Takahiro...but this is just weird. (the master's name is アロイス・トランシー, probably romanised as Alois Trancy)

It'll be interesting to find out if this new story takes place after the end of the first or not. If it does and we see Ciel, then we know then that we're supposed to treat the original end for the first season as never happening.

The girl who posted this to the comm was obviously at the panel when this was announced and she said OnoD was visibly upset that TakaSaku was voicing the new butler, I really think he liked voicing Sebby. If what she said is true it doesn't appear we'll see Sebby at much if at all. I agree this is gonna be hit or miss, when its finally out I'm probably gonna have to view it as something completely different so I don't compare it to s1 (which I'm sure I still will...)

Kuroshitsuji would also be a decent promotion for her, since it has a large female fanbase and isn't otaku orientated. I am currently looping Live Fever again for the nth time, and all her fans are male...at least most of her obessive fans are male.

I have to say that I'm wary about this, to put it charitably. It's very hard for me to imagine Kuroshitsuji without Sebby and Ciel. 100% anime original is scary. I'll certainly give it a shot, but my hope was that we'd see something a la FMA that was more faithful to the manga. Of course, as the manga is still ongoing that's problematic.

Considering what I watch usually, it's a bit odd I haven't watched this yet (I haven't seen Pandora Hearts either too, that's next on my list). I actually bought a Kuroshitsuji poster already, since I'm expecting myself to like this (for whatever reasons) after I have seen it.

It's official:
The official homepage for the Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) anime franchise has announced that the series’ upcoming second television series will revolve around a pair of new, original characters: Alois Trancy and butler Claude Faustas, played respectively by voice actors Nana Mizuki and Takahiro Sakurai. The character designs for both new characters were drawn by Kuroshitsuji manga creator Yana Toboso, but neither character originates in the original manga. There’s been no word on whether the stars of the manga and first TV series, Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis, will appear in the second anime series, which will premiere in July.

I at least like that the characters are designed by Yana Toboso, though you do have to wonder what she thinks about the project, and if she'll have anything to do with the script of the new series.
