It’s hard to believe that the Black Butler: Book of Circus season comes out next week on April 19th! Funimation’s’ getting us back into the mindset of it with a new dub clip that came out recently which clocks in at over two minutes – but feels like it runs even longer – as we get into questioning the Undertaker. The DVD/BD combo set will be priced at $84.98 (LE) $64.98 (RE) and on-disc extras include new English-language commentaries.
Plot concept: Ciel and the demon butler Sebastian are summoned by the Queen to investigate multiple reports of missing children. When their underworld contacts reveal the disappearances increase when the mysterious Noah’s Ark Circus comes to town the demonic duo must impress an enigmatic ringmaster in order to go undercover as performers-to Sebastian’s delight and Ciel’s disgust. At the core of the circus is a troupe of unique performers from Dagger the knife thrower to Beast, the beautiful tiger tamer. All are connected by someone who changed their lives, someone who raised them from the gutters of London to the heights of the big top—but at a price.
