Video game features character designs from a famous manga creator, starts with hot guys “twisted from Alice in Wonderland.”
Black Butler
The first trailer was a complete tease, but there’s finally some action and voice in this new preview video!
Apparently, there’s a simple trick you can use while watching this teaser video to make it just a little bit more exciting!
Getting the eyes right for an anime character might be hard, but this girl is absolutely nailing it.
You know something is popular when it starts getting adapted into anime, drama CDs, movies and games. But maybe one of the biggest and strangest adaptations is the musical. Oddly enough, staged musicals are popular enough in Japan that plenty of series get live-action singing and dancing versions performed for ecstatic fans in packed theaters. If you’re not convinced that a musical means a popular title has hit the big time, how about a third musical?
That’s right, Black Butler is set for its third musical and the final cast photos have been released!
