Summary:
In a manor house on the outskirts of Victorian era London, butler Sebastian Michaelis serves Ciel Phantomhive, the twelve-year-old head of an English noble family as well as a toy and candy empire. Sebastian carries out any task required by his master and solves the problems plaguing England with ease and perfections because of his demonic lineage and Faustian contract with his master...

My review:
London, gothic set, dark humor with hardly noticeable tinge of shounen-ai and yet so obvious you should be blind not to see it...Very well made and thought of. You can't help but feel for young yet strong-willed Ciel. And let's not forget our perfect demon Sebastian who can fulfill his master's every wish. Their relationship is truly amazing. Ciel has to be cold and keep his distance from his butler knowing that if he shows a weakness he will devour him or lose interest in his soul and it will be over.
Second season was made mainly for fans in my opinion but I still liked it. New characters Alois Trancy and Claude Faustus were well played. Much more obvious shounen ai theme in second season is exactly what fans were waiting for. Even though I feel sorry for Alois the ending was quite satisfying leaving the needed room for imagination.
