The Kuroshitsuji Musical was even better than I thought it would be. I’m no expert on the actors in Japan, but they all managed to get the characters down pat — from Baldroy’s deep, rough timbre to Ciel’s condescending manner. I’m not quite able to understand Japanese, but I did get the gist of the musicale’s plot. The musical is available for download on Bleach Asylum’s forums (see the Kuroshitsuji tab above).
So, what did I think of the musical? The only minor issue I had with it was that Sebastian’s voice was surprisingly high compared to the anime’s voice actor. Not that it was a bad thing. The stage actor pulled off Sebastian splendidly, though I observed a small strut in his walk (which is unbecoming of a servant of the Phantomhive household O=). Grell was as crazy and gay as ever (literally), and Agni and Soma make an unexpected visit during the latter third of the musical. I’m still trying to ascertain the reason for their appearance. Otherwise, it was filled with laughs with the occasional magic trick which of course can only be pulled off by a certain person…
Sebastian and Ciel -- aren't they pretty~?
In other news: I’m not going to upload YouTube videos of Darker than Black II any more because they keep getting deleted (plus I’m too lazy to search for replacements -_-”). However, download links will still be put up on the DtB page.
