Note that in the above, the guy on the left is NOT the new butler...but the text on him has the cast announcement and names.

Sebastian and Ciel Replaced in Kuroshitsuji II?
Say it ain't so!
Word on Moon Phase is that Kuroshitsuji II-- the second season of the anime adaptation of the manga, about a boy named Ciel who sells his soul to a demonic butler, Sebastian, in exchange for protection during his life --is going to air this summer, and that the new season will feature two new characters: butler Claud Faustus (played by Takahiro "Cloud Strife" Sakurai) and Alois Trancy (played by Nana "Fate Testarossa" Mizuki).
So this is something different from the original manga, and not only that, we're not even sure if Sebastian and Ciel will appear-- but honestly, I'm betting they'll find a way to make an entrance. They're just too awesome. I mean, look!
By the way, "Alois" is a German name (perhaps a new setting?), and the name Claud Faustus is almost certainly a reference to the famous German legend of Faust or Faustus, about a man who sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge (or, in some versions, for youth to seduce a young woman). Hmm...

Is that for real?
Was wondering, when they announced a second sequel, what they were going to do, since uh...
I rather assumed that anyone checking up on news like this would have already seen the first series..... Otherwise, why would they be interested? I shall edit.
I myself haven't watched it, either ;)
Technically the guy on the left is another butler, just not the new butler. He was in one of my favorite episodes. I hope Sebastian and Ciel will make a debut; I'm very much attached to them. I haven't read the manga, but I know enough about it that Ciel and Sebastian's adventures didn't end like the first anime season did (good ending nonetheless). I'm kind of disappointed this series won't be revolving around them, though I guess this plot device allows the writers to think of a way to get around the very final ending of the first season. Oh, but wait Yay for Fate! Or rather her voice actress. :)
The manga has quite a bit more story to tell; they actually created quite a bit of the main plot from scratch.
I mean,
More fun things about name meanings.
The opera is pretty dull, I have to say. You have to be a real opera buff to sit through it. Very droney music @_@
I just want to know if Faustus will have a giant fist. I mean I never saw the original even though that chainsaw wielding shinigami sounded really cool but a demon butler with a giant fist would be pretty awesome. He'd be like Hellboy except less ugly.
I really like the series, been reading the manga, but it just scratches that demon-butler-english society itch for me. Yes, I really do form itches that specific.
Read it. READ IT.
According to seiyuu Juwabe Shinichi (voiced as Undertaker), there will be 4 old casts remain in Kuroshitsuji II..and additional 2 new characters (yes, they are Alois and his butler, Faustus) ^^..plus Kuroshitsuji II maybe will known as Monoshitsuji (Alois and Faustus always appear in white costumes).
I'm very doted on Sebastian, even if Ciel doesn't appear anymore in the series (sorry, Ciel's fan!), I still wish Sebastian will be featured in the new manga and anime ^^.
I really wanna know what happen to Sebastian (in manga, he had died under mysterious circumstance) whereas in anime, Ciel gave up his life to his butler (Is Ciel really died?) O.o
@ to Staff..
the opera is pretty dull and the musics were droney? Did you mean by "kuroshitsuji the musical ~ sono shitsuji, yoko~?
he was one of my fav characters-well sebastian was my favorite character but grell was second ;)
Don t like then new 2 characters, but i don t even care as i only read the manga but i don t like that ciel and sebastian hew counterparts that isn t so orginal.
