Another anime review,after i haven’t visited this blog again.
ok,this story was taken in 19th century,when British had some connections to prevent mafias coming to their land.Most of them were called ‘guard dogs’ and Phantomhive family was one of the Queen’s guard dog.Ciel Phantomhive lost everything in his life.His family,his childhood,his happiness was gone when his house and everything inside the house was burnt,including his parents.It was happened so quickly,and then he was found by Sebastian Michaelis,the only butler of Phantomhive family,who was alive.The devils made a ‘contract’ between Ciel and Sebastian to gain souls of human.As the proof of the contract,Ciel gained a demonic symbol in one of his eye and Sebastian got a mark in his hand.The contract will be finished if Ciel dies together with Sebastian. The life of a young master made Ciel bored,so he never socialize with his neighborhood.He had 4 persons who lived in his manor.
Main Characters :
- Ciel Phantomhive
Earl Ciel Phantomhive is the business-savvy, twelve-year-old (though he later turns thirteen) head of the English Phantomhive noble family, taking over after the deaths of his parents, Lord Vincent and Lady Rachel Phantomhive. He also runs Funtom Company, which manufactures toys and sweets, and later adds a food branch after winning a Royal Warrant. His right eye, which is usually covered with a black eyepatch, bears a pentacle sign of the Faustian contract which binds the demon Sebastian Michaelis to his will.
- Sebastian Michaelis
Sebastian often describes himself through the phrase “Because I am one hell of a butler” (わたしはあくまで執事ですから, Aku made shitsuji desu kara?). The phrase plays on the word “demon” (あくま, akuma?) and the phrase “to the end” (あくまで, aku made?). It can also translate to “I am a demon and a butler”. He is highly skilled in any area and handles every task, no matter how impossible it is as well as any problem that arises from the errors of the other staff with ease, stating it is only natural as the butler to the Phantomhive family. This is due to the fact he is a demon bound by a Faustian contract to abide by Ciel’s will. A sign similar to the one marking Ciel’s right eye can be found on Sebastian’s left hand, which has been used on one occasion to twist the arm of a kidnapper without touching him.
The first season of this anime was finished airing in 2008,and the second season will be airing in January 2010.:D
