Ciel Phantomhive returns for his next big adventure...school life with Show Hayami
!
New Black Butler OP! With very atmospheric, dark, eerie, and gothic vibes because something is definitely afoot at prestigious Weston College
.
Look at Ciel with food in his mouth late for school like he's a Japanese schoolgirl! He even makes a cute friend in McMillan and encounters the P4, Prefects who would not look out of place as a boyband and having all the archetypes down to pat as well as last names that coincidentally reference their House colors
.
Nice to see Ciel getting a warm welcome from his House, as well as meeting his Dorm Master...a handsome dark-haired man named Michaelis who is totally a new character and doesn't at all resemble someone in Ciel's employ. He's just a hell of a dorm master
!
Pretty suspicious that the Head Master is nowhere to be found and the prefects and the Lower Master are running the school...also Johann, the Lower Master, is a total klutz and I'm afraid for his health
.
Though it seems like Ciel isn't just investigating the Head Master but also trying to figure out what happened to Derrick Arden, who got transferred to the Violet Wolf House and no one has heard from him since...and his best shot at an answer is getting in with the Prefects and meeting the Head Master
.
This isn't like the circus! Now Ciel will just make Sebastian do all the work and clean-up for him
.
Violet House has all the makings of a horror movie setting, complete with a cult-like aura and throwing stones at people. Also that one obvious delinquent guy
.
So they're investigating the school because Derrick Arden is the son of one of Queen Victoria's cousins...so of course she's sending her Watch Dog to investigate, which puts Ciel and Sebastian on the case
.
What an overdramatic lead up to the one line everyone was waiting for..."Yes, My Lord."
Would it really be Black Butler without a SiD theme? With a very stylistic ED featuring Ciel and Sebastian prowling Weston College and their story linked with the prefects, as well as Sebastian holding Ciel tight in the sky
