Black Butler Is Back !! But With A New Sebastian..

I don't care about the animations, Sebastian is back and this is all that matters.

I really miss sebs red eyes!!!! GIVE BAVK HIS HOT RED EYES PLEASE I BEG U😭

I like the old animation for sebastian.

i personally love the animation, it fits the setting of this arc extremely well - yes black butler is dark and gothic but this arc takes place in a school setting - a place that is traditionally pretty mundane and cheery for most of the students, and it’s Ciel’s first time interacting with kids his age - i think the vibes feeling out of place for some viewers actually matches how Ciel must feel - he is way out of his comfort zone, only really knowing how to communicate with adults, not other kids. i think as the story progresses it’ll feel more connected as Ciel finds his footing - he’s still navigating Weston and learning how to behave and interact with everyone. i think the art and the music fits this very well. i’m really excited for the cricket tournament where ciel can show his true colors (manipulative) and i think the climax of the story is going to be very intense and extremely intriguing!! i also think this arc is just a breath of fresh air, and is a bit of petty simple fun that Ciel doesn’t get to deal with, poor boy is always dealing with the most traumatic events imaginable

Honestly I’m upset about the artstyle change, cause I like the “old anime” style that they kinda had it was also very unique but now with them changing it it kinda looks like this casual normal school anime’s especially with the bubble highlights and the detailed eyelashes, I just prefer the old style, but I am really happy the show is back, and it’s not like I can force them to change it. but even this seems cool and I’ll still be willing to watch it

idc what other people say i love the new arc and designs i think its great to see ciel less depressed and more around people his age and cuteness. he's adorbs

We might not have YOI: ice adolescence, but we have a new season of Black Butler! This year is full of surprises 😅

And you forgot to mention 2 OVA's "Book of Murder"🤕

The problem was at the trailer of this current season. His face was Wrongggg It looked really circular and nonsebastian's style. Now at the anime chapster it looks fixed and like Yana toboso style

Black Butler is one of my very very favorite anime I'm glad it's back now I'm excited after I watch the first episode. ❤❤❤

The new design for Sebby is...something. I find the emphasized eyelashes, the tiny fangs, and the thick linework for his lips very distracting, even the way his hair is done is just...no. It's too much. I revisited S1 and S2 just a little while ago (complete episodes, courtesy of Muse Asia here on YT, yay), and the simplicity of his original design is WAY better. I like how his eyes can do the talking just by the shade of them, that akuma na aka. Less is more. I just can't with the new design. The fangs, in particular, is just a heavy-handed detail; fans already know he is a demon, and this is canonically, the second season (if we don't count Circus and Murder).

I personally don't mind Sebastian's new look and a lot of people on Twitter also like it XD I think the most important thing is that we're getting this new season and that the adaptation is good! Btw the softer design kind of matches Yana Toboso's newer style as well! She soften Sebastian's features a lot, because she always feels the need to one up herself and make him prettier XD (don't quote me on that. It's an info I read at some point, but the first half of the sentence is based on my observation). Overall I am truly the happiest with this new season! OP and ED incredible, the animation is GORGEOUS, the adaptation is faithful and the keep showing us Sebastian's kitten fangs!

Sebastian's old artstyle was the best, give his blood red eyes back!!! Ciel looks gorgeous this season though.

I actually really love the new art

I watched the new episode but i was so confused and turns out i missed a whole season before s4💀

i'm a big fan the manga, i have tom 1 to 21, but i stopped bcz of money issues (back in 2016 ~) then the op2 of Black butler came back in my head out of nowhere and i just .. "OH THIS MANGA EXISTS I FORGOR" and i saw that multiple seasons came out so... yeah i m gonna watch all over again (without the s2 filler even tho i like it) i still have the manga in my mind so i want to see if the adaptation is good !

The ending song is gorgeous too.

i loved the second season honestly! Yes it wasnt canon (and the whole thing with Ciel was a bit too much and didnt make sense for me lol) but nevertheless it still had an enjoyable story when it came to Alois and his house. I love how Alois’ story ended and after learning more about Hannah and Luka it really got me in the feels. To this day Alois is still in my (long) list of my favorite characters!

aa you didnt mention book of murder, the OVAs or the stage play / musical 😭😭

I hate the animation so much. It is so bright, the old animation actually looks vintage which matches the era it is set in. They took the 'black' out of 'Black' Butler here. The random sparkles flying around remind me of a child on an editing app going ham. Plus the random long cuts to a black screen were so bad. I love Seb's fangs, but both characters' eyelashes are horrendous. A lot of the animation feels AI generated. I am pissed because it is such an iconic show, coming back after so long, and there is so much potential they are wasting. Ofc it is just the first episode but I don't exactly have high hopes from this season. Some things were great but mostly, I was rather disappointed. Will still eat it up though lol
