A Mixed Bag: 'Black Butler' Season 2, Episode 1 English Dub Review

The first two episodes of 'Black Butler' season 2 set a dark and mysterious tone that maintained its intensity throughout the series. The Phantomhive household's quirky staff added comedic relief, but as the series progressed, the missions became repetitive and the second half devolved into filler episodes that lacked excitement. While the anime doesn't strictly follow the manga, it's clear that the first six episodes drew from the source material.

The problem is that the second half was written exclusively for the anime, leading to a jumbled narrative with plot twists that come out of nowhere. Sebastian's sudden disappearance, in particular, was uncharacteristic and unrealistic given their unbreakable contract and years of work together. Poor character motivations and justifications plagued the latter part of the series, leaving viewers scratching their heads.

Despite the enjoyable start, the rest of season 2 failed to meet expectations, making it a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise intriguing story. With its inconsistent pacing and lackluster writing, 'Black Butler' season 2's second half is a misstep that fails to deliver.
