Season 1: Black Butler (Episodes: 2-6, 13-15) With that in mind, here is the show’s release order, canon order, and a brief plot synopsis of all the important moments to help you decide if you should give the Black Butler anime a go. Some fans only like watching the official canon episodes, specials, and movies of their anime, but if you want even more content then there’s nothing stopping you from watching it all. When going through the release and watch order we will say what is and is not considered canon so don’t worry. This could be because the creators of the show added a few filler episodes to pad out the story, or they changed some storylines within the show to make a new narrative. In anime, ‘canon’ means something that actually happened in the story, as opposed to something that was shown, or created by a fan or an outside source other than the writers/creators of the anime and manga.Īs you may know, the show Black Butler is based on an anime of the same name, and so what is considered ‘canon’ in the show are things that were written by the authors in the manga.īecause of this, while every season of Black Butler is considered ‘canon’ not every episode is. Overall, the good outweighs the bad and makes the specials a worthy watch for fans.Before we get on with the list, it is important to define what is and is not canon. I loveeeee Grell so going into his backstory was cool and exciting. It's basically Grell's life during his first reaping. Lastly, the best stand out was The Story of Will the Reaper. Alois Trancy is such a broken character and I loved his story so having a look inside the heads of Claude and Hannah were interesting. The add-on episode about the 'Spider' clan was amazing.

Its when you get to the other two that the real treat begins.

I'd give the Wonderland episodes as a whole 6/10. Grell as the Cheshire Cat was fucking brilliant so points there. Sadly, they weren't.īoth of the Wonderland episodes were funny and satisfying to watch, though the second episode was leaps better than the first. Both were kind of throw away and I just watched them to see if they were worth my time. My least favorite was the making of special followed by Welcome to Phantomville.
