I’ve always liked how the animators for Black butler love playing around with Sebastian’s tailcoat and using it for the darkness that slowly eats Ciel up, really cool

The Black Butler revival will, of course, in this day and age, be the complete embodiment of pro-ship vs. anti-ship discourse, given the subject matter.

But for those of you who are watching this for the first time in 2024 (which includes myself!), there are certain things about the show you simply must understand, for the sake of media literacy.

The first is that Black Butler is supernatural gothic romanticism at its core. This genre alone should tell you that the relationships integral to the plot will be complex, messy, and toxic, by default. That is not only a huge part of this genre’s appeal, but very much the point of the story.

The themes are dark, the terrible things that happen to the main characters are dark, and therefore the relationships at the forefront (and in the background) will reflect that.

The gothic genre has been alluringly popular for over a century (longer, if you know your history) because audiences are entranced by the macabre, the tainted antiheroes, the monsters who live inside us all. It’s popular for a reason.

That being said, understand that whether you, the viewer, ship Sebastian and Ciel or not is irrelevant. Their bond doesn’t need to be understood as romantic or sexual, but it sure as hell isn’t normal. It isn’t healthy. And the audience knows that. That’s the draw. It’s what makes them compelling to watch.

Ciel and Sebastian’s relationship mirrors many gothic novels, poems, and penny dreadfuls written in the Victorian Era (the very same time period in which Kuroshitsuji takes place). The Victorian folks who read these tales for the first time ate that shit up, because it was tantalizing. It was shocking. It was inappropriate, and monstrous, and violent, and erotic, and went against societal norms. But that was the point.

A huge part of gothic romanticism is the blatant sexualization of the relationship between the “monstrous” characters and their human counterparts in the story. Sex itself doesn’t need to take place for their bond to be sexually charged. The forbidden nature of their relationship—which typically involves layers of social taboos, moral ambiguity, or simple infatuation—is what makes their interactions erotic. Sexual contact rarely ever actually happens in these stories. It’s the taboo nature of their bond that creates the tension.

One of the many reasons audiences love this genre is the constant question of morality in its themes. Who, between them, is the real monster? Could the human character have ever been saved? This genre is often associated with tragedy, because the bond forged between the characters in these stories are destined to end in death and destruction. The reader knows it can’t end any other way. How can it?

But an integral element of these gothic tales is the catharsis that comes with this tragedy. The corrupted human often gets what they want in the end, even if it’s at the cost of their own life. Whether they regret their choice to foster this monstrous relationship varies on the story, but it doesn’t change the trajectory of their descent.

Sebastian and Ciel’s relationship is the whole plot of Black Butler. Their closeness bears a grotesque ick factor, but it is deliberate. It is a constant reminder of how unnatrual their bond truly is. Rationalizing or watering down how abnormal they are about each other misses the point entirely. They will never have a normal, healthy relationship, and that’s what moves the plot forward.

That’s why you’re watching it.

10 things, more or less, I’d like to see: The Public School Arc anime

I can’t wait to hear the familiar voices of Ciel and Sebastian again. Interacting, discussing, talking, planning, strategizing, taunting each other, on top of their games…

Vincent Phantomhive, the very bi, nasty, one hell of a master-class strategist.

Vincent subduing this German boy, Diedrich, and making him his disciple. It is mean. It is cruel. It probably is Vincent’s way of getting what he wants. All the time until he didn’t get it anymore.

And Undertaker … to see and listen to him again honestly. One of the reasons for living. I still believe that, however twisted that might be, he was hoping that Ciel got to experience what it meant to be a part of the community. The normal life. Undertaker’s way of love is unhealthy.

I honestly don’t get cricket. I wonder if they are going to make it palatable. It was fun in the manga bc of Yana’s storytelling, also it was a quarter and a half of the arc.

Sebastian Michaelis as a conductor with his orchestra playing the “Radetzky March.” Anyway, since I’ve become interested in Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler it is thrilling to find out that Yana Toboso included it on her story. Will Ryo Kawasaki include the song into the Public School arc in April? I’d love to see and hear Sebastian Michaelis as the maestro conducting it.

I’d like to say that Yana T was satisfied with the voice actors (“The screen, the voice, the music... everything is gorgeous! I’m looking forward to the broadcast!”) even though some are not convinced with Junya Enoki’s prowess to deliver as Lawrence Bluewer. Everyone still thinks that he’s Itadori Yuji. On the other hand, Edgar Redmond’s VA, Watanabe Toshiki, is fond of decorating their nails.

Lawrence Bluewer who cannot believe his luck.

The ball. Tanaka-san dancing with Frances Midford, Mey-rin with Prince Soma, etc. Basically, the calm before the storm.

Lastly, Sebastian chasing the headmaster, who turned out to be Undertaker.
