Live Action Black Butler Character Videos

Warner Bros. Japan put up 4 character promo videos for their live action adaptation of Yana Tosobo Black Butler manga earlier this week. The videos highlight Sebastian, Lin, Shiori, and Hanae. This adaptation takes place in the year 2020 in a Asian city where Western and Asian cultures intermingle frequently. Shiori is a intelligence operative for the Queen of the Western nations. The Queen orders Shiori to find out about the "serial mummified murder case." This case leads to Shiori becoming part of something she wish she wasn't.

Shoiri

Sebastian 

 I don't much about Black Butler but I do know that Shoiri is not the main character of the original. I also know that this is set 130 years later than the original. This adaptation seems to loosely follow the premise of the original. Sebastian is still here, of course and does the same thing he did in the original. Sebastian being a demon explains why he lived for an extra 130 years. Shoiri seems to be a "Ciel" clone, she dresses like him in some scenes and has the eye patch too!

As stated before I don't know much about Black Butler, and its probably good that I don't because I can actually see this movie with non-bias eyes. The film is out now in Japan. I won't post all the videos here. If want to see them all go here.
