Black Butler is definitely a unique anime and I highly recommend it. The plot involves young Ciel Phantomhive, the head of the Phantomhive estate along his butler Sebastian who just so happens to be a demon butler who has to protect and follow Ciel wherever he goes in exchange for his soul when he dies. The episodes follow mysteries going around and Ciel and Sebastian trying to solve them. The mysteries can be very disconnected and nonetheless seem to circle around mini plots rather than a whole one but still, it can connect to be something very groundbreaking you would never expect.
I recommend this for several reasons. The action is intense and well timed and placed. It is very entertaining and yes, there is some blood so if you are sensitive or scared of...blood then it may not be the anime for you, sorry! Also, the characters are all so diverse and have amazing backstories and skills that you may have never seen coming, this anime loves to surprise you and throw major plot twists in nearly every episode.
But, there are the cons. One, the situations or outcomes of solving mysteries may not always seem logical or even morally correct, in fact sometimes you wonder why they did that due to lack of explaining in the episode. Also, there are some sexual innuendos, they are hardly in episodes but yes, they are there and extremely noticeable when you see them, but they aren't too frequent so I wouldn't worry about it.
But despite the flaws it is still a noteworthy and watchable anime so I recommend it!
Sayonara!
