has got unquestionably perfect knowledge, manners, talent with materials, martial arts et cetera but is also able to serve a 12 year old master.
Wearing a grey tailcoat, gracefully brewing the worlds strongest red tea, please read on to see how such a perfect butler copes with such a master... -ANN, AniDB
Outside Victorian-era London, butler Sebastian Michaelis serves the twelve-year-old head of an English noble family Ciel Phantomhive. He carries out any task required from his master with ease and perfection because of his secret demonic lineage and a contract with his master. -WIKI[/quote]

[b]Sebastian Michaels (セバスチャン・ミカエリス)[/b]
Skillful butler who works for young boy Ciel Phantomhive. Because Sebastian can do anything he is the one who saves the day (after other workers have screwed their own jobs).
The reason for him to be so talented is the fact that he is a demon. He has made a deal with Master Ciel which means he has to do everything Ciel commands him to do.

[b]Ciel Phantomhive (シエル・ファントムハイヴ)[/b]
Ciel Phantomhive is the business-savvy, twelve-year-old head of the English Phantomhive noble family, taking over after the deaths of his parents. He also runs a company that manufactures toys and sweets. His right eye, which is always covered, bears the "sign of contract" which binds the demon Sebastian Michaelis to his will. He is voiced by Sakamoto Maaya in the anime adaption and Miyuki Sawashiro on the drama CD.

[b]Meilin (メイリン)[/b]
The maid of the Phantomhive household. Meilin is enthusiastic about her job, but extremely bad at it. She adds too much soap while washing the clothes, trips and shatters the good china, and is generally a gigantic klutz. When asked to do anything important, she starts to stutter and panic, which only adds to her natural clumsiness. She has a crush on Sebastian.

[b]Finnian (フィニアン)[/b]
The gardner of the Phantomhive household. Finny manages to kill more plants than he grows, whether by overenthusiastic pruning or not noticing that the pesticide container is leaking. In fact, if left to his own devices, he's stated that he'd like to make the garden into the shape of a giant robot. Despite failing at his job, his combination of tears, innocent looks, and willful ignorance of anything that doesn't fall into his cheerful worldview makes Finny probably the most successful of the servants at wheedling favors and money out of Sebastian.

[b]Bardroy (バルドロイ)[/b]
The cook of the Phantomhive household. Bard gruffly treats everything as though it's a military exercise, often referring to troops, enemies, and weaponry when he goes off into one of his many long-winded speeches about what it truly means to appreciate the culinary arts. He even tries to do the cooking with a series of flamethrowers, each more extravagant than the last. It's unknown if the food he produces is actually edible.

[b]Tanaka (タナカ)[/b]
The steward of the Phantomhive household. No one actually knows what Tanaka does around the house, save for sit around and drink tea. His reaction to any situation, no matter how strange, is to merely smile, take a sip of his tea, and chuckle. In other words, he's a bit of an enigma.

[b]Grell Sutcliff (グレル・サトクリフ)[/b]
Grell Sutcliff is the bumbling butler of Madam Red. He's not very good at...well, anything. His tea is inferior, and he never really gets involved, always staying outside the scene worrying away. He's pretty easily ignored...
[spoiler][img]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/MissGabriel/Other/mal01.jpg[/img]
But this, really, is just a disguise. The real Grell is a flamboyant reaper (as in grim reaper) who refers to himself in girlish terms, flirts, and enjoys brutal massacre as much as he enjoys the color red. He uses a chainsaw to carve up his victims, and is pretty...insane, to say the least.[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote][b]Comment[/b]:
MUST WATCH. *Fangirl instinct lol* No I mean "OH YEA" it's airing, it's interesting, it's flattering. Nice quality animation. The characters look fabulous. Storyline looks interesting and creepy. About mysterious Phantomhive Heir and a Black Talented Butler. But it has funny scenes too which made me lol'd and smirk. Antagonist character will appear on next episode. The Background setting is in Britannia so it's kinda luxurious and mansion-thingy (Big Potrait, Spacious Mansion, Candlelight, Tuxedo, etc). I want to see [i]Jun Fukuyama[/i] as an antagonist chara here.
Well. Anticipated in b4 become an overrated animu. Watch for badass Sebastian!
[b]Overall Score: 4.5/5[/b][/quote]
Watch the first episode [url=http://megavideo.com/?v=MP3NWRSN]here[/url]!
