While we’ve had some some smaller spots and key reveals previously for this series, we’ve now got a new full promo for the July 10th, 2014 debut of Black Butler: Book of Circus, The new promo is pretty dialogue heavy – and pretty in general – and it also gives us a bit of the opening material. The project, which has plans for the OVA and TV, brings us a new round of stories based on the manga by Yana Toboso. We learned earlier in the year that there will be a new OVA that will land this fall in theaters before hitting home video, which adapts the Book of Murder arc of the series and the TV series itself which lands in July. We’ve had the staff and casting revealed previously but now the new TV spot adds a good bit of fun to the show.
The production for the series is strong with A-1 Pictures tackling the animation while Noriyuki Abe will be directing. Abe has a solid slate of credits behind him, working on a number of long series over the years that have worked off of manga properties such as Flame of Recca and Yu Yu Hakusho. Character designs are set to be done by Minako Shiba.
