About Black Butler II Specials

Here is what Black Butler II Specials (Kuroshitsuji II Specials) is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy, comedy and supernatural anime by A-1 Pictures (2010). The premise: According to the Kuroshitsuji website, there are 6 OVAs included in the DVD releases. DVD 2: Ciel in Wonderland (Part 1) This re-imagines the cast of Kuroshitsuji II as characters in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland story.

Also worth knowing: DVD 3: Welcome to the Phantomhive's This is meant to be like a simulation game. Elizabeth invites a lady (perhaps the viewer) to join her at a ball held at the Phantomhive mansion. DVD 5: The Making of Kuroshitsuji II This is a Hollywood style documentary with behind the scenes interviews with Sebastian, Ciel, Claude and Alois etc.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
