Can't... stop... watching! dead

So, um, instead of watching the episodes of FMA Brotherhood I missed, I get sidtracked by this anime that seems to appear where ever I go. I eventually got curious and decided to check it out. I am now hooked, and I watch it with my sister and little brother when I'm over his house.

Is anyone else watching this series?
If so, what do you think about it? Good? Bad?
I'm on part two of season one. So far I love every bit of it!
By the way, no spoilers, please?

I watched it before the dub came out, so I'm not used to the English title.
XD

I love it, but the fans annoy me.
I don't see any yaoi-tension between Sebastian and Ciel, it's just a master-butler relationship to me.
:/

I'm planning on cosplaying the Undertaker come October.
Expensive wig though.
>>;;

Season 2 gets weird, by the way.
I can understand how it ties in with Season 1, but the ending is just... :|

eh. i`ve heard of it. xD

my friend is obsessed with the whole yaoi thing as well. i remember watching a few episodes and i was like, "lolwut? there`s no spark between them!" && she got all pissed.

i heard it was a pretty good series. just a very big anime nut anymore. ; U; don`t know why. i just grew out of it!

I watch it, it's pretty good (I prefer the manga though, since the anime went into filler land near the end). I honestly don't understand the logic of people pairing Sebastian and Ciel up. >_>

I have yet to watch it in English though. I heard a few clips and I'm not very fond of them voices so far.

I have been meaning to read Kuroshitsuji but haven't really gotten to it.
I just have a friend that is in love this the anime series though.

Hogwarts is my home.
I just finished watching the first season... and I just watched the first episode of season two. Wow. Just wow. After an ending like that?

I have to say, I kinda see why some of the fans see that type of relationship between Ciel and Sebastian. With that being said, I must say that I'm not so crazy about the whole CielxSebastian thing, but whatever floats their boats, I suppose.

I love their english voices more, though. I mean, they sounded good before. I think its just the accents that I liked.

@Midori:
I highly recommend the series. ^_^

@metal c 0 r e:
Even if you're not a big anime fan anymore, this anime just might get you back in to it. Finish the anime if you get the chance to. I found it very amusing and maybe you will too.

I got a couple of the episodes from the iTunes store because someone bought me a voucher, lol. I absolutely hate Ciel's voice in the English version.

As for "I honestly don't understand the logic of people pairing Sebastian and Ciel up." - When it first came out a lot of people thought it was shounen-ai. All of the online manga reading websites (that I visited anyway) were all confused because users kept switching the genres between shounen-ai and not (some thought it was, some didn't). I honestly started reading it because, at the time, MangaFox had it listed as a shounen-ai.
As far as I remember, there are a selection of shounen-ai elements in the manga.

I adore Black Butler. Its fairly obvious that Madame Red is my favorite character, even though she only lasted for a few episodes. Black Butler season two is my favorite though. I feel bad for Alois. I'm not going to say any spoilerz here, but I loved Sebastian's NO OMG WRYYYY face. hehehe.

Please post pics. The Undertaker was my favorite character.

Other than that, I have no interest in watching this in English. I saw Kuroshitsuji 1 only and I loved it subbed. I'm afraid it might be like watching Slayers in English (It's way funnier to watch Slayers subbed than dubbed).

You know, I never watched the anime of this,
but the manga is really good. :)

I do like it. :o I adore ANYTHING anime-historical though,plus the yaoi fodder(whilst not canon) is pretty generous so that adds to the other perk(and I believe the artist wrote another manga that WAS shounen-ai so that shows she isn't afraid to pair two guys up together). But the thing I'm really in love with is the art, and detail. The story itself began really, really interesting but it kind of winded down now. As for the anime, I think it and the manga are completely different.

I liked Alois' arc though. :)

I started watching. It was entertaining enough at first, but after awhile, I just grew bored with it.

Then, my friend had to spoil the ending of part two for me. Which, has strongly discouraged me from watching it any further.
