Black Butler II Specials

*Black Butler II Specials* collects six OVAs released across the DVD volumes, offering playful side stories and offbeat extras that lean into comedy, the supernatural, and parody. Two entries, “Ciel in Wonderland (Part 1)” and “Ciel in Wonderland (Part 2),” recast the *Kuroshitsuji II* lineup within Lewis Carroll’s *Alice in Wonderland*.

Other shorts experiment with format: “Welcome to the Phantomhive’s” frames a ball at the Phantomhive mansion like a simulation game as Elizabeth invites a visiting lady—possibly the viewer—to join in. “The Making of Kuroshitsuji II” presents a Hollywood-style behind-the-scenes mock documentary featuring interview segments with Sebastian, Ciel, Claude, Alois, and more. “The Tale of William the Shinigami” follows William and Grell as they train new shinigami while looking back on their own days as training partners, and “The Spider’s Intention” focuses on daily life in the Trancy household and the care shown to Alois by those who serve him.
