Comment your favorite Joke from this video below!
My favorite joke was you saying you don't like scooby-doo. That has to be a joke. right?
The part where you dropped the BSD beast video🙌
That time you got double Charlesed.
Tanaka being the size of a mighty bean had me CRYING
Congratulations on pirating the Dark Server
Dany REALLY needs to stop underestimating the servants of the phantomhive estate, Tanaka WAS the main butler before Sebastian came into the picture.... I think, it's been a while
No as far as I remember your right, Tanaka was like the family Alfred before Sebastian came into the picture
@@aceofpentacles2k
Yes. Together with 30+ servants.
Yes he was
You would be correct.
@@justauser6078 Yup, but it means he had as much work as Sebastian, just diffrent kind. Normally butlers role is not cooking or cleaning or making tea,right ? So it is still impresive. Especially if we remember he was just 3 years younger.
Book of Murder is slower, yes, but important part of the set up for future arcs. Also, Ran Mao is NOT Lau's sister, it's an old joke of immigrants bringing prostitutes to England and when questioned by police, they'd say: Her? Oh, that's my sister. All the while counting on the racism of the officers preventing them from noticing the girl and the man didn't look alike at all.
ALSO, I might be wrong on tihs one, but "A character written by Oscar Wilde" is a VERY subtle way of saying """The Doctor""" swings both ways.
Hopefully, he won’t swing towards Ciel!
@@cureidolsmile9820 ummm well..... It's hard to say in Black Buttler, but I THINK he appreciates his wit and his beauty............................ ?
But also in China it's respectful to refer to your peers by older/younger brother/sister
@@bunbungabrielI guess that's how it started, but I don't think it's a Chinese thing but how the British saw it? Like yeah the immigrants said "my sister" and the British were like: ... He is messing with me
Wilde also wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray, which features a handsome young man who sold his soul to remain eternally youthful. So the reference fits w Ciel also having sold his soul to Sebastian.
Danny had to dive deep to get access to Book of Murder it's like trying to find Atlantis and having to do the worst crimes in history to get access to the truth. 😂
Well....the book of Atlantic is easier to find at least 😅
@@katzbacHe dived so deep he found the Campania 😂
Wonder if finding the Book of Atlantic is going to be its own rendition of the search for Atlantis
i didnt even know book of murder existed lmai@@katzbac
I didn't even know it was hard to get, I bought the DVD set for book of murder and book of Atlantic when they were released
I know he was joking but there is a little filler chapter where the gang goes shopping and May-Rin gets new glasses but then she literally can’t function because she sees Sebastian too clearly
that's in the future tho, it'll either be in the new season or it's in the beginning chapters of the arc after it
I thought it’s cannon she doesn’t wanna replace them cause they’re a gift from Ciel
Really? Is that in the manga too?
@@lurkerran
The anime would be too long if they adapted everything that is in the manga
@@serenity_ren_bliss3566 yeah, the chapter she gets them replaced is the same chapter where we find this out. The whole household goes on a trip so its necessary for Ciel to buy them new gear for thier cover jobs
To clarify, Ran Mao isn't actually Lau's sister. They are childhood friends and she's his bodyguard. They use the term for presumably 2 reasons:
1) It's an easy way to explain why they're always together
2) It may be similar to how in Japan referring to someone as onii/onee-san doesn't necessarily mean you're related, just that you're close
Yes it's similar, in chinese if you're close with someone you may refer to them as brother/sister
Everyone call their friend in china brother and sister
The emphasis on Germany makes more sense when you remember that the formal unification of Germany as a modern state happened in 1871 and Black Butler: Book of Murder happens not even 20 years after (1889). While Ciel had to learn geography with Germany already on the map, many adults around him had to adjust to the transition, so it makes sense that they're insistent about Germany's rather new status.
in the manga, book of circus functions as a soft reset into a larger overarching plot that continues to get called back on literally to this day. book of murder is the first story arc where it's becomes apparent that "oh shit Ciel's actions have consequences that extend beyond Phantomhive manor" and everything after this is revelation, escalation and/or a status quo reset so nothing is skip-able. the anime has reached the limit of skippable content for you since the filler chapters that function as bridges between arcs dont get animated, and they also happen to have important exposition.
TLDR you gotta finish book of murder, sorry
The book of series is a fine adaptation but its flow is very odd imo. It's why I just mostly stick to the manga now. Everything is there unlike in the anime adaptation.
8:45 incase anyone wants the translation here
Ciel: So that's what becomes of that stuffed shirt of a man once liquor is involve, eh? Seeing him like this, I'd have to say he and the bottle are no strangers
Sebastian: Even so, seeing him incapable of self-dicipline makes me think of him either an utter fool or perfectly shameless.
Ciel: He is stricken with an illness that even doctors would be hopeless to cure
(This transition was taken from the manga so pardon if it's not directly translated)
I'll trust you on it, because even as an actual Frenchman, I understood jack shit.
@@Vrodent RIGHT?!?
@@VrodentI’m French Canadian and I didn’t pick 1 word of French either
Thank you
@Vrodent Right?? Like it's not just their accents but there's a bunch of vowels and consonants missing from he few words I could pick out
As a british person i can confirm that spiffing is a word however it is one people rarely use. However i wish people would use it more, i think the world would be alot more entertaining if we used more intriguing words in average conversations.
British here also, I've RARELY heard spiffy... I've NEVER heard spiffing.
I just see it mainly referenced w the YT channel The Spiffing Brit
I, for one, would be more entertained if it were so
I knew you were British just by the amount of “howevers” you used. 😂
@@Jagged-Dust-Jacket to my defence, It was some time past midnight when I made this comment lol
6:40 the mangaka is actually a woman 😌 she also made the art for the officially licensed Disney game Twisted Wonderland. She's known for making the most attractive bishounen anime men in the industry lmaoo
That makes so much sense that these were done by the same artist.
Why is everyone calling it a mangaka😂
@@alllittlethingzz because mangaka refers to the author/illustrator of a manga, right?
7:13 "Ciel, why are you flirting with this guy?"
FINALLY SOMEONE ASKS!!
lmao, because Ciel is his fan (he is a sherlock's author)
The Phantomhives have a history of hiring people that can double as guards for the estate. Tanaka was the butler to Ciel's parents before Ciel contracted Sebastian, so he's old but still extremely competent. He is basically semi-retired. Bard (Baldroy) was an American soldier, Mae Rin is an extremely far-sighted Chinese street urchin/assassin (accents were established before the manga established back stories, so that's why they all sound British), and Finn was experimentally enhanced to be used as a weapon who didn't even have a name until Ciel gave him one.
I watched in Japanese so the accents weren't a problem, but I'll admit I only realised Mae Rin (or Maylene, like the manga translation I read) was chinese when she was paired up as Ran Mao sister to a plan
and in my defense, I grew up believes "-R" wasn't a thing in chinese (like "-L" wasn't in Japanese, and you'd get character's pronouncing Ruffy instead of Luffy early on. I get that both Ran Mao and Mei Rin could be Lan and Lin but no one was consistent enough, it throughs me off)
Mr Hohoho has a number of great sword fights!
for those uncomfortable with lau and his "sister", I just wanted to point out that they are Chinese and in China it is common, especially in the past, to refer to people close to you as "brothers and sisters" it is considered a gesture of affection and respect indeed no blood relationship
Isn’t he supposed to know that? He has watched Heaven’s Official Blessing where Hua Cheng calls him Gege (aka older brother) and they are definitely not brothers 😂 . Although i’m not sure if it was said in the english dub?
the english dub doesnt have hua cheng call him gege unfortunately @debbystragier2154
I don't think it's a spoiler but in one of the later arcs it is shown how Ciel feels about Finny:
To put it simply, he's very attached to him, and he trusts him a lot too.
WHERE. WHEN??
@@anhh7610Emeral Witch arc in the manga, read it
9:00 so fun fact is that J Micheal Tatum, Sebastian’s VA, actually already knows a fair bit of French. So this probably wasn’t too difficult for him.
Also Danny not recognizing who Arthur is makes me feel insane. But maybe I’m odd for knowing it right away.
It's bc they don't fully tell you until the end
I mean, he was the country (shoutout if you understand)
If I remember correctly in the manga his full name isn't revealed until the end of the mystery. so throughout i think he was only referred to as Arthur or Mister Doyle. granted it's been 5+ years but im pretty sure that's how that goes.
He will when he watches Moriarty the Patriot 😈😈😈
@@dragonstouch1042Hush, we don't speak of Arthur Kirkland anymore. I'd like to think that as a society we've grown and left him and his colleagues behind in 2013.
I got so unreasonably excited when I got the notification.
Also very happy Danny was able to find book of murder for us, his reaction is a must-have
I know what you mean!!!
I agree! I clicked on this video so fast when I saw it lol
FRRR also love your pfp
I will say (as an actual murder mystery author) this is not one of my fave arcs; but there IS something in Book of Atlantic that would make you VERY confused if you didn't watch this one first!

my SON my poor little baby boy yana-san i am in your *walls*
whoever uploaded black butler is actually insane cause the whole show isn't available anywhere ALL together and book of murder really did get thrown off the face of the earth💀💀
And to think Black Butler content was absolutely everywhere you looked, especially during book of circus and book of Atlantic... circus troupe cosplayer were walking around everywhere in the anime cons I went to every year
right! it was so popular when it first came out :,) and they recently took what WAS on netflix off >:( im hoping that hype comes back with season 4!!@@aureliaavalon
I swear someone uploaded the movie to youtube, but I can't find it now. Like where did Danny go to find it.
@@Bisexualdragon4042 youtube ain't letting nobody have happiness that probably got taken down 😔
Well now it’s all available on crunchyroll except book of murder unfortunately
The shotgun bit made me remember how much I loved Danny's skits. Shoutout to Cabby Cash, the dude who didn't read Harry Potter, and Danny(who betrayed his boss and killed Clark)
iirc the official eng translation explains in a note that lau calling ran mao his "sister" is using it in the way that chinese (and japanese, maybe?) ppl will sometimes call their friends their siblings in casual conversation a lot (e.g. nii-san/gege). like how ppl might call adults they aren't related to "aunties" or "uncles." so at least in the english canon, she's never confirmed to be blood related or not
The "he is like Oscar Wilde character" comment is so relevant though !
It could mean
1.Only a man attracted to men could write a man so attractive. -> having Conan Doyle say that could be a reference to the theory that Doyle was bi as he hung out with a lot of notorious gay men; and in his works, Sherlock and Watson hang out in a lot of notoriously gay meetup spots like the turkish baths. So even if he wasn't himself attracted to men he still would be familliar with gay culture at the time.
2. It shows that even though the character is oblivious to it because he is fascinated, Sebastian is a bad person. Specifically I think it's comparing him to both Lord Henry Wotton (manipulative) and Dorian Gray (pretty on the outside, ugly on the inside) in The picture of Dorian Gray.
.........am I the only one, like, SUPER hyped to see him react to Book of Atlantic? Like, yeah, I like Book of Murder but BOOK OF ATLANTIC?! With THIS MAN?! I cannot wait
I can't wait to see his reaction to THAT big reveal. One of my favorite moments.
Book of Atlantic was just 🤌
This just made me so curious about what Danny did to find The Book Of Murder 💀
Lol really?
Piracy
Danny is just that powerful 😮
I think I watched it on YT back in the day. But if not, it was definitely through 💀🚩
He probably watched it illegally we have all done that
The face Danny made when Tanaka threw that dude was great 😂
Also wow really? You can't find it anywhere? I'm glad I bought the DVD when I did.
I bought the Blu-ray/DVD years ago, before I started streaming recently…
I guess buying Blu-rays/DVDs has its payoffs
I have the dvd too. I didn’t realize it had been scrubbed from everywhere online. I wonder why
You can find it but it's on official streaming platforms but on those grey area sites that are not quiet legal
I've never trusted streaming unless it's for first-watch - if I plan to see again I buy 😂
Fun fact: J. Michael Tatum, the VA for Sebastian, is actually fluent in French. So he didn't have to learn shit. In fact, he probably wrote the lines for the dub.
It probably helps that he also had to voice the human personification of france
@@GretchenGoebeltrue lol😂
You know that there’s a massive storm at that time right? That’s why, the police can’t come, especially when Phantomhive’s manor is located far out of London city.
11:11 "Locked-room" mysteries were a popular trope in detective/mystery novels during this time. It ties into Ciel saying he likes reading different publications. And that exact example that Ciel uses is supposed to also foreshadow the identity of the new brown-haired guy.19:50 That's non-canon so, as far as the canon goes, we aren't yet aware if ghosts are "real" or not lol Same goes for demon hounds, angels, and everything else that pops up in Season 1 and 2. 21:20 This makes me feel like you would like Fruits Basket
I keep trying to get him to watch fruits basket but it never wins polls
Dude am i the only one who doesn't know whats the identity of the brown haired dude ?? Did i miss something ??
@@C13lluxer The most well known mystery author in Europe, english. Trying not to spoil for Danny.
@@elwynnquinslais2776 it shouldn't be spoiling for Danny as it got revealed in this episode, I guess he just missed it/it went over his head 😅
"You have to humbly accept yourself into a grave"
GIRL IM WORKING OUT AND I MY LAUGH WAS INHUMANE WHEN YOU SAID THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PUSH UP.
I can't wait to see Danny's reaction to Book of the Atlantic✨
(We are phoenixes!🔥)
I can’t wait either!!!!
The best arc in my opinion 🥰
Best arc fr fr
SOOOOO many twists on that God damn boat 😂
Sameee
Ok so I don't know if anybody noticed this but in the video when Lou and Ran Mow are rummaging through Ciel's things Ran Mow is wearing Ciel's hat from when he disguised as a girl in the Jack the Ripper arc.
The moment where this happens is at running time 18:18
Also I can't wait for Danny to see the book of the Atlantic arc because it's like Titanic meets the Walking Dead.
5:30 to clear Danny's mind, I want to make clear that Ran Mao isn't his sister. They're Chinese and in China people often refer to each other as sister or brother (usually with 'younger' or 'older' prefixes) in order to show closeness and respect. It's often used between close friends and sometimes colleges, not just relatives. This is actually specified in the manga (with Lau calling her I think Mei Mei (or little sister) with an explanation bubble) but I guess they decided not to for the anime 😂
Lau and Ran-Mao aren't actually siblings, they're childhood friends and she's his bodyguard, iirc.
She's supposed to be really strong, but we haven't seen her fight much. She killed Mina and her husband and surprised Bard in the manga, and does some other stuff that suggests she has super strength and fight training but i think that's it.
Fun fact tanaka was the orginal servent of ciel even before sebastian arrived
I understand why Danny says that he doesn't like this as much as book of circus, which is part of the reason I'll always say that black butler is my favorite MANGA and not anime. Also, can't wait for him to see book of Atlantic. That is 100% my favorite part of the anime😂
I agree I love manga, and even tho itvis fun to see all this in motion it dosen't have the same inpact like when you read... I really liked this arc in manga but the next one is my favorite...
100% agree! The anime flows so inconsistently at times while the manga constantly feels like it one upping itself, but that's just me
Book of atlnatic is fantastic its super underrated in anime sphere for sure
Yesss book of atlantic 😭😭🩷
I bought the entire black butler series movies and all cause I didn’t wanna deal with none of that, so glad you found something to watch it on, love your reactions keep up the amazing work Danny your a gem.
As gathered from other subs, the French bit is roughly;-
Ciel: Looks like he's a habitual offender.
Sebastian: He can't control himself. A fool with no sense of shame.
Ciel: Ah...a disease no doctor can save him from.
How did you manage to get that it literally sounds like gibberish 😭😭
@@Neflheimen Who knows? the sub teams are amazing
Lau refers to her as his sister in a honorific kind of way. He uses the Chinese term for a younger woman which doesn't have a direct translation and the closest is "like a little sister."
That Scooby Doo slander made my physically clench my entire being.
WOOO I love this ova!!! It's such a great arc and the many turns in the whodunit scenario are some of my favorite writing from early Black Butler
Edit: Oh my gosh I'm so glad you didn't skip it cause it's definitely NOT skippable, I hope the second half convinces you as to why and that you enjoy it more
22:58 And THIS is why you should've watched the rest of Season 1. Cuz all your questions get answers in Episode 20.
But here's the spoiler if you really don't wanna watch it.
.
.
Finny is a human experiment. He was given super strength to be the ultimate human soldier and weapon. Meyrin is an assassin and excellent sniper, mainly specializing in taking out politicians. Bardroy is a mercenary/ex-soldier.
none of those backstories are canon. although the professions are very much similar, they have completely different backstories in the manga. it would just confuse him more.
The thread-under-the-door trick is a pretty famous one actually. It was used in an early episode of Detective Conan, and I think it was mentioned once in Bungo.
Just would like to point out, Ran Mao is not actually his sister. She’s his bodyguard/personal assassin, but like they don’t go around disclosing that info, so it’s more of a disguise…
I agree that part 1 is a bit slow, but part 2 makes this arc personally very enjoyable to return to, and its essential for setting up future arcs.
They aren't reacting normally because they're Victorian. Nobody was allowed to act how they felt, and EVERYTHING was an omen of death.
Yeah trying to find Murder and Atlantic is hell on earth you have my full respects for committing to all of that and I am so excited to your reactions to the bizarre twists that happen in this two part OVA LMAO reading it in the manga was such a headache
"What does Neji think about Kiba?"
Fanfiction tells me is the bromance we needed but never got
LOL Danny isn't ready for Jeremy's secrets XD
Book of murder is one of my favorites.... thats it
After what Danny said at the end of the video... ouch lol
SPOILER!
How has he not realized the doctor is Arthur Conan Doyle?
answer time:
the key trick was a common trope written in murder mystery
Lao's sister is like an adopted sister
Lao also has connections to the black market and underworld people so he's around for information
Finny is an experimental super soldier thing, (had to kill his friends/ other patients, not spoiler because he's said so in the series and implied it here)
9:53 i’m like p. sure he’s right here. exsanguination would be the mechanism of death, the the cause of death would be whatever the wound was. mechanism of death is the physiological disruption in the body, while cause is the disease/injury.
As a detective novel stan, I'm just too entertained by whodunnits PFFFFFFFFFT it's why this is my favorite arc by far, besides the reveals from after part one
Also, having read the manga before watching the anime, I do remember it being a bit more fun in the manga. Who knows, maybe it's also a difference in adaptation
Yeah the only difference i can remmeber of is Ciel fending for himself when he got accused
The next movie/episode reaction is going to be so hype. Danny will hate the odd one out death's existence, but I think the cause will more than make up for it for him. Also, can't believe he didn't figure out Jeremy immediately.
The Murder Cruise is better tbh, but most people adore Book of Murder because it was very unexpected. Anime didn't really continue to follow a manga like this after they'd reached a 'conclusion' at the time, you either got one long continuous slog through everything Hunter x Hunter or Naruto style, or you got 12 episodes and that was it. So that Black Butler was popular enough to get continued, faithfully, without filler or being dropped? was a shock and considered amazing.
I like the comment about the mangaka rizing his own character Sebastian. Its nice to notice these funny details that usually go unnoticed.
Book of murder is a slow start, and if I remember I used to be less hyped about this one but it added so much more to the characters and that made me love it!
Wait for the second half tho.
Fun fact Sebastian’s VA is fluent in French and his husband is a professional interpreter 🥰🐬
As someone who literally has French as their first language, i don't understand what the hell Ciel and Sebastian were trying to say either? I get it's probably the voice actors that just didn't know how to speak French but it's so funny to me that I genuinely just thought they were talking a whole other language at first.
Lord may not forgive what sins Danny had to do to get this book
as someone who hasn’t paid for anime since 2018 i found book of murder almost immediately
Share thy secrets 😔
me too
The second half of BOM is more engaging, but this act is just kinda chill. I love it a lot, but for something crazy just wait for Book of the Atlantic.
ive barely started the video and im already giggling a little at the "im fine with hackers taking my money. im fine with them taking my identity, to be completely honest my identity sucks, they can have it, but finding out how i got access to black butler: book of murder.. that i cannot have" cos honestly same
Dunno if anyone's mentioned it before but the VA for Lau is the same guy who voiced Victor Nikiforov. Bloow my mind first time I found out 😂
I had watched book of murder on a illegal anime streaming website like 3 years ago, it got taken down a year ago unfortunately
Sadge
I think all of the Sherlock references have gone over his head 😅. That's too bad because I thought Yana was really clever for that!
I really appreciate you taking Black Butler a chance. I've been a fan of this for years now and now knowing what I know now as a manga reader, you are in for a ride. Makes me very excited how you will react once the new season comes out next year :))
I love book of murder so much it's literally my favorite arc
Love the rant at 7:40 just suddenly having all this class and tearign this theater guy a new butt.
I’m so glad you got into book of murder 😂 this is literally my favorite arc as well. I think it does pick up tbh. At first I was bored but then it got interesting. At least for me ??? Glad I’m not alone with other fans though lol
Ciel's feelings on Finny are actually touched up on later on!
Not anime yet tho.
I'm curious, what are his thoughts on Finny?
What do you mean? Can you spoiler me?
Danny: I had to search the entire Internet to find Book of Murder
Me: *does a quick search and finds it in literally 5 seconds*
Where did you find it 😭 I’ve been looking for ages and this video is literally the closest I’ve come to watching it. I cannot find it anywhere
19:34 common dude, he’s a Phantomhive servant!! Of course he’s gonna be special 😂
As someone who watched the anime first and purchased the manga later, I'll say that while I didn't dislike Book of Murder when I watched it, it definitely wasn't my favorite. I liked parts of it, but the mystery didn't engage me. I only ever watched it once, and it had been YEARS by the time I got to that point in the manga, and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it because Book of Circus was so good. After reading the manga, it's leagues better. It's weird because nothing of the plot is changed, per se, but the pacing is tighter. You feel more engaged with the tension, and it's much easier to follow along with why things are happening (like how they can't leave the house because there's a significant storm outside, so they must wait to call the police until the storm breaks). It'll never be my favorite arc, but I appreciate it in the manga because it gives you the sense of why it is happening - Ciel was supposed to save the children in the previous arc. Still, he instead burned that manor down, so now the Queen is displeased, and her bodyguards come to monitor him to test his loyalties. I think that's where most of the tension lies - the shorter Charles guy is fucking terrifying in the manga and is poking at everything to try and trip Ciel up; it's nerve-wracking to watch because you don't know what'll happen if he's dissatisfied with Ciel's position as the Queen's Guard Dog. This was a long comment, but I hope that helps with some context.
okay i scrolled through the comments looking for some french fellows and didn't find any, but to anyone reading this, know that the moment where ciel and sebastian speak french is absolutely delightful and a true pleasure, because it's absolutely and completly impossible to understand what they say, we can get a few words, even get some parts of the sentences with the subtitles on, but mostly, we only know they speak french because of arthur. i'm respectfully never getting tired of this part of the show
also, i was waiting for your reaction on this bgjkdlnj i jumped as soon as i saw it on my yt page, i promise you the second part of the movie adds some spark x)
rewatching that scene with Ciel beating the shit out of Sebastian reminded me of the fact that I, when I watched it for the first time, thought Sebastian was actually dead. Though to be fair, that was my first time watching Black Butler (and Anime in general), also I was like 11 or so.
“Sister?!”
Danny was left shocked out of his hairline
5:30 I think it's "sister" as in she is like his adopted servant? I think there was some lore about 19th century China.
6:10 The funny part is that he is called Siemens - like one of the biggest companies from Germany, that produces electricity and all types of technology from trains, to computers, phones and medical equipment. Which important they had supplied a lot of stuff for the Nazis (forced labour). And made airplanes during WW1 (unforced).
So you know - all the innuendos are on you. xD
6:35 *Hers ego. Yana Toboso is a woman (can be noticed, by a lot of better written female characters than in any other series from early 2000s).
19:30 Well you met other Phantomhive servants. And Tanaka is the only one from the original manor. Sure he is old, but you have seen in other series what Japanese old men can do. Obviously he would do this, even if he was mostly retired as the main butler.
25:45 Animated - my favourite is probably either Red Butler Arc (Jack the Reaper) or Book of Atlantic. It may change, if the adaptation of the next arc that is coming next year is good/improves the source material (that arc for me was just ok).
Manga-wise - Emerald Witch arc or some parts of the Blue Saga would be my choice. One because of the setting and historical implications other due to plot revelations and full backstories for the servant.
Someone else who’s favourite arc is Emerald Witch, finally!!
Didn't anyone notice that the orchestra singer was named Irene...like...I don't know..Irene Adler!!!! And the writer, saying he's writing detective novels while he's more interested in writing about history. Who does that sound like. Who...who...who... Someone whose reputation was tied to just one character from his novels. Does that ring a bell. Probably...just probably, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created Sherlock Holmes....AND..Irene Adler, who is an Orchestra singer. My oh my, too much Sherlock Holmes references it's weird how nobody noticed.
Huh, we all noticed, the author's name is literally Arthur Conan Doyle.
So excited to see this video right as I finally caught up on your Black Butler reaction vids! Also I feel you on the accessibility issues with this movie, I had to sail the high seas to get it, if you catch my drift ;)
Your first mistake with murder mysteries was having Scooby Doo as a baseline :x
10:25 standing in the corner quietly might've drawn even more suspicion!
11:31 ...Well, some of you clearly never read Astrid Lindgren's Kalle Blomkvist at age six or watched Mentalist at age ten and it shows. I knew SO many "mystery novel" tricks when I was twelve...
The door joke made me laugh way more than it likely should of
4 months late to this reaction, but after hearing Sebastian call it a "locked room murder" I was fully expecting a reference to Poe's first appearance in Bungo Stray Dogs
As a french fan, the french was so horrible that I didn't recognize it was french until you said it. And even now I can't understand half the word they're saying, it's so bad even knowing french and english doesn't help understanding !!!!
Yes Danny!!! ❤️ My favorite UA-camr and series. You made my Wednesday ^-^
20:50 this is why i actually like filler episodes kn anime just for character interactions like im too nosey
Hooray! I’m so glad you found a copy of this arc! Book of Murder is my personal favorite! I hope you enjoy.
As a French native speaker, I can assure you they were talking anything but French. But good job on the "R" sound XD
OH MY GOD! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!! ❤❤❤❤❤
i wish the writer got more screen time in this video cause he gets a huge twist in the last part 🤣🤣
For anybody wanting the (loose) translation to what ciel and Sebastian said in French, here you go:
C: “he seemed like a steady man, but a little alcohol makes him like this. from the look of things, it’s a habit”
S: “and yet, he’s unable to control himself, he’s either a complete fool, or he has no sense of shame”
C: “so it’s the type of sickness that no doctor can cure?”
Pretty sure that writer guy is the creator of Sherlock Holmes
It is
Finny and Mey-Rin were indentured child assassins (Finny; German, Mey-Rin; China) and Baldroy (cigarette guy) is a mercenary captain hired by Sebastian because he needed someone to take care of them.
To be fair, Tonaka not turning into a little nesting doll despite everything we've seen previous, *is* very funny.
It took years and watching Danny watch black butler that it clicked. Finny sounds kinda like Pinky from Pinky and the Brain. …This feels like something I definitely should have realized sooner.
