The Nerd Out Review: Kuroshitsuji - Black Butler {review}

Greetings little fledglings. Goodness that was a horrible beginning. We need to come up with something to call you readers (Will&Emily coughIDEAS?cough). But that's another subject I suppose.
A few days ago I started watching the anime Kuroshitsuji (or Black Butler for the dubbed version). Needless to say I fell in love with it and wanted to review it. Season 1 can be found on netflix, but the OVA episodes and season 2 can be found on dubbedanimeon.com (that's like my favorite anime site ever)

SO
Name: Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Rating: TV-MA (frequent violence and innuendo- the latter doesn't really come into play until KuroshitII)
# of Episodes: Kuroshitsuji - 25 |OVA - 6| Kuroshitsuji II - 12
Summary: Ciel Phantomhive is the 12 year old son of an english earl around the year 1888. He's out for revenge after his parents are murdered (and he came back from the underworld but they don't explain too well in the anime). He makes a contract with a demon - the demon will serve him and help him get revenge on whoever killed his family and shamed his name. However, in return, the demon will get his soul. Contract made, Ciel finds himself with a new butler named Sebastian Michaelis who is, as he puts it, "One hell of a butler"
This anime is one of my top 3 at the moment. I'm halfway through KuroshitII but definitely like I better than II. It's very complex at times and simple at others, with fallen angels, demons, shinigami (grim reapers - they're really amusing), and all the politics of noble life in the 19th century. Like most anime, it has many pretty boys in it with raggedy hair and way-too-good-looks (seriously this has the most I've seen and I've watched Ouran High School Host Club - that's saying something lol). The anime itself can be quite whimsical at first, but many darker themes start to arise and twist it until it almost is like a tearjerker anime (that still makes you laugh). And of course there's that one crazy crossdresser (there's always at least one..).
