Release date: October 3rd 2006 -November 15th 2014 (Japanese release). January 11th 2011 - November 15th 2014 (English dub release. I may be wrong). Three seasons, nine OVA's, and two movies (one animated and the other live action).
Story: Thirteen year old Ceil Phantomhive leads a aristocratic life as the head of the Phantomhive household in Victorian era England. He is known as the Queen's guard dog and is asked to help solve various crimes all throughout the country. And he is never without his trusty butler Sebastian Michaelis. But what everybody doesn't know is that Sebastian is in fact a demon in human form who was summoned by Ceil in order to help him with his own business. Which is to hunt down and get revenge on those who have killed his parents and nearly killed him. And when it is over, Ceil's soul is Sebastian's as part of their agreement.
My thoughts: This is a great anime. The first season was good, the second season was bad, and the third season was again good. The characters have their ups and downs. Ceil acts like a spoiled little brat and the other employers at the Phantomhive household are walking disaster zones. But they do help out at times. There are times when the show gets dark (season two especially) but the comedy manages to balances it. If you are an anime fan then I would recommend checking this out.
My score: Four stars.
