Kuroshitsuji II is the sequel to Kuroshitsuji. The second season features two new main characters: Earl Alois Trancy and his butler Claude Faustus.[1] Many of the main characters from the previous season return as well, including Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis.

The second season is formatted similar to its predecessor, airing on ten different stations.[2] The second season had an official magazine, Black Tabloid, released before its on-air date on July 1, 2010. This season contains a sum of 12 episodes, including 6 OVAs. It has been compiled into a total of nine DVD releases. All 12 episodes share the theme song SHIVER for the opening, but two different animations accompany it; the first ran from episodes 25-32, while the second ran from episodes 33-36. There are two different ending songs: episodes 25-31 and 33-35 use Bird, while episodes 32 and 36 use Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa—this is also the ending song for the 7th OVA.

Background

At the Kuroshitsuji, Sono Shitsuji, Shūshō ~Saigo no Bansan wo Anata to Tomoni~ (黒執事、その執事、終章　～最後の晩餐を貴方と共に～, "Black Butler, That Butler, The Final Chapter ~One Last Dinner With You~") event, on June 14, 2009, it was announced that the anime will be returning for a second season. Undertaker's voice actor Junichi Suwabe confirmed this news on his official blog later that day.[3]

Plot

Kuroshitsuji II takes place in late-nineteenth century England, where the Trancy household resides. It is set one year and three months after the dramatic conclusion of the first season.[4] The second season introduces two new main characters: Alois Trancy, a sadistic yet cheerful earl with a tragic past, and Claude Faustus, his impassive, enigmatic butler with superlative talent. After the second episode, the season mostly follows Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis, and the characters of the Phantomhive household, including Elizabeth Midford.

Ciel was presumed dead at the end of the first series, but Sebastian had, in fact, never succeeded in devouring Ciel's soul to begin with. Nevertheless, Ciel has lost his memories about Angelina Dalles's and Queen Victoria's deaths, Grell Sutcliff, Soma Asman Kadar, Agni, Angela Blanc, and Ash Landers.
