Michael Tatum’s emotionally packed performance as Sebastian is a standout and is one of the best English dubbed renditions of any anime character ever.

With many of the cast putting on accents for their respective characters despite the fact none of the main cast are played by British voice actors. It’s more upbeat and chaotic in fight sequences and quite calming in the softer scenes. The music in the show is great and really sets the tone for the Victorian setting and compliments the scenes really well. With many fans recommending you skip watching it completely and move onto the ‘Book Of’ series’ straight after completing the first season.

The quality of the story telling in this first season is leagues above what the widely disliked second season offers. But this is a show where I’d argue that the filler works in it’s favour and carries the story with some really interesting plot threads. Or filler as some would call content not considered canon to the original source material. Quite a lot of the plot of this season is comprised of completely original story arcs.

I can understand why the show could be disliked by purist fans of the manga.

This comes together well in the episode arc around the Jack the Ripper murders where the writer does a great job taking something that really happened but moulding it with a new twist so that the overall cause is all linked to the characters from Black Butler. One of the key story highlights for me was enjoying how the narrative was able to use real world historical events and blend them with the supernatural to create a new and original alternate history for the period.
