WHASQDK THE FUQHK IM GONNA CRY BROSKAPZ&/& DOLL DESERVED BETTER BROA SHE JUST DID OKA6??!/? WHY
My thoughts exactly! I’m always so embarrassed when people ask me what my favourite anime / manga series is, because of the associations with the fan base. I don’t even bother saying it these days, I just go with Death Note, Kamisama Kiss, or My Hero Academia - although these ALSO have associations that aren’t great…
can't wait to see him cry
Undertaker Reveal Take Two 4/?
Bonus:
Being a grandpa theory diehard is all about walking the fine line between Yana's same face syndrome and Francis actually looking like Undertaker
Happy day of Trans Visibility!!!
ITS HER DAY!!!
There’s no way he’s not her father. I love the little, quiet moments. I read a fic once where she forced him to tie up his hair because it was messy, which was adorable. A very strict, no nonsense six year old Frannie is a very cute image. And, of course, Cedric would have to humour her.
If they could have father daughter moment
Why do I find the idea of UT sitting in a fancy carriage being all serious hilarious? He’s got his pointy (probably dirty) mortician boots on, having a great time being all professional… perhaps this is a kind of insight as to how he is when he’s alone, just kind of there. It is interesting that he’s not smiling, and we can’t see any of his lovely hair, even though we all know who it is in the carriage, and he’s basically known for his hair. And considering the glee with which he revealed to Stoker that he manipulated him the entire time.
I think this portrayal makes him look a lot more sinister than the usual cackling fool he makes himself out to be, even more so in comparison to Stoker’s obvious hope. I believe (to my knowledge) he’s laughing about it in the voice over, but it really sticks with me how cold he is in that glimpse we get of him. Perhaps the jovial undertaker is a bit of a act for a man that is very sad - I know, a very original idea that no one has ever suggested!
I am a bit sad that we’re getting more serious UT instead of silly now that he’s a proper villain ( I say knowing he’s been like that since the Luxury Liner Arc), but oh well. And we do get to see him tear up in the Emerald Witch arc, so I guess we’ll see. Early UT may have been a bit creepy, but he was so much fun! Bring back silly goth undertaker with his stupid props and scenery - his shop was beautiful (can you tell I miss it?)
UNDERTAKER IN HIS USUAL OUTFIT IN S4
About demons and otherworldly...
I rarely talk about films and series that I like. Let's begin!
Part 1. Facts
Title: Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Author: Toboso Yana
Year: 2006 (manga); 2008 (first film adaptation)
Genres: Action, Detective, History, Comedy, Mystery
Part 2. Plot
An alternative England of the 19th century appears before the reader/viewer. The events of the Victorian era shroud in darkness the fate of Ciel Phantomhive, a boy of 12 years old. As befits an earl, Phantomhive has several servants in his service, among which the butler Sebastian Michaelis stands out in a special way. Whatever happens in Phantomhive Manor, the affairs of the young master, or even England, Sebastian is able to handle the impossible. 'Cause he's «just a damn good butler»
Part 3. Let's talk about the abstract or Nonsense by CH
Anime
As far as I remember, this anime was recommended to me as a joke. And this joke is out of control.
I wasn't particularly impressed with the first season, because I felt some kind of understatement. Yes, the story was logically completed, but there were too many white spots. The mystery of the Phantomhive tragedy is a confusing thing and I suspected that the creators did not manage with one season. And so it turned out, I found 2 more seasons and 2 full-length films.
The second season, as it turned out, wasn't based on the manga at all, and as a beginner, it confused me even more. Therefore, for those who are watching for the first time, I advise you to postpone the second season somewhere at the very end (may a ton of slippers from fans of the history of the Trancy house not fly at me)
The third season, called the Book of Circus, is currently my favorite. For the most part, it was filmed exactly according to the original source and therefore retained such a fragile line between comedy and tragedy that haunts the adventures of the young master and his faithful butler throughout absolutely the entire story. I recommend watching it immediately after the first season.
The Book of Murder and The Book of the Atlantic, in my opinion, deserve separate posts, so I will say briefly, they are definitely worth the time spent. And yes, when watching The Book of the Atlantic, don't be surprised by the obviousness of some plot twists that will accidentally spoil it in the first season.
Manga
The first chapters were released in 2006, so this year the work celebrates its seventeenth anniversary. To be honest, I admire the progress of the author and really like to simply look at the pages of history. But we don't forget about the plot either. The original source explains what is happening much faster and more clearly, and the characters themselves look a little more beautiful and livelier, brighter. For the most part, the first time I needed the manga was to put everything that was happening in the anime in my head and understand what was going to follow. Now I started reading it more for the plot.
Part 4
The most profitable (in my opinion) viewing order:
Kuroshitsuji (2008)
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus (2014)
Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder (2015)
Kuroshitsuji Movie: Book of the Atlantic (2017)
Additionally:
Kuroshitsuji II (2010)
Kuroshitsuji II The Tale of Will the Shinigami (OVA)
+ several other small stories that are easy to find on the Internet (OVA)
P.S. I am attaching some moments from the manga and the opening of the third season
