It tries to be more historically accurate than a show like Code Geass (which is still entertaining) which is set in an alternate history and has giant robots powered by magic rocks.

For a gist of what #BlackButler is about, it's an #anime set in Victorian England about a young earl who investigates supernatural cases and manages his manor. There are supernatural and comedic elements to it but also more serious scenes.

Double subtitles would be better than single ones for #anime episodes imo.

Why on earth would someone come up with an option to skip the intro when those are one of the great things about #anime episodes?

The latest season of #BlackButler was pretty good, although the animation quality doesn't seem as good as in previous ones. #anime

Meanwhile, in reality, prefects are completely irrelevant. #anime #BlackButler

When someone says Oishi, I remember the cop from #Higurashi (which is a fairly good anime), although I'd recommend the original anime over the newer one. It's a horror. #anime

They adapted Re:Monster into an anime? Isn't that that book where he keeps devouring, devouring, devouring?

What do you call a datacenter built on a floating island? Cloud servers.

As far as anime are concerned now though, I think the model of putting content out every week is more or less dead at this point. If there's content, it gets adapted, otherwise it'll resume whenever there is content.

Bleach also winded up being a classic case of creator burnout where the creator was expected to keep putting content out (I think it was every week) and he just couldn't do it.

Bleach had *a lot of fillers*. The first filler arc wasn't that bad and they tried to fit it in more neatly.

And then, they kept catching up to the source material (despite the creator even conjuring up an arc or two to keep the anime going).

Instead of postponing the anime until there was new material (something they ended up doing anyway), they kept inserting inexplicable filler arcs set in parallel universes in the middle of major battles.

To be fair, Black Butler's fillers are not that bad (such as I think it's called 2 and part of the first season) *but they wreck the continuity of the story* and the succeeding seasons basically operate on the basis of the fillers never happening.

I see anime dubs are still awful. That's where subs come in.

Black Butler is always an entertaining anime to watch. As a warning though, one of the seasons is filler, it's not canonical.

Oh, cool, there is more Black Butler.

I don't think it was just Ga-Rei which had a prequel as an anime but not the actual story. .hack//sign was also a prequel anime but if you wanted to see the actual story, you'd have to play the games.

Who would have thought that a medical mask would become a political symbol.
