Yeah, yeah, you knew already from last year, but just in case someone reading this blog remains in the dark(ness), Black Butler Season 1 premieres on Tuesday, 11 January 2011, at 830PM WIB on Animax Asia.
In a manor house on the outskirts of Victorian era London, butler Sebastian Michaelis serves Ciel Phantomhive, the orphaned twelve-year-old head of an English noble family and a toy and candy empire, who serves directly under the Queen. Sebastian carries out any task required by his master while solving the problems plaguing England with ease and perfection, because of his demonic lineage and Faustian contract with his master.The parents of the Phantomhive estate were murdered when Ciel was younger. As a result, he made a deal with a demon asking for vengeance upon those who had disgraced him, and the Phantomhive name, in exchange for his soul.
[Synopsis from Wikipedia]
The anime adapts the popular Toboso Yana manga that serializes in the nominally shounen
GFantasy. TV Tropes' summary closer goes: Mix and stir Hellsing and Count Cain with Loveless, at least toward the beginning. No, seriously,
which perfectly captures, yup, the series at the outset. Elex Media publishes Black Butler in Indonesia; nine volumes have been released as of November 2010.
