Final trailer for "Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc" released

The popular anime "Black Butler" is set to return for its Spring 2025 season with a new story arc called "Emerald Witch." This time, Earl Phantomhive and his butler, Sebastian, will travel to Germany to investigate mysterious deaths connected to a supernatural curse. The new arc begins airing on April 5 and features the same production team as last year's "Public School Arc." A trailer released by Aniplex showcases the vivid animation by CloverWorks, promising an exciting viewing experience. The "Emerald Witch" arc is based on one of the most beloved storylines from the manga, spanning 21 chapters. It combines elements of gothic literature with campy mystery as Ciel and Sebastian face new challenges. The story introduces two new characters: Sieglinde Sullivan, a young noble girl, and her devoted butler, Wolfram Gelzer. As the plot unfolds, Ciel confronts his past while seeking revenge against a cult responsible for his family's tragedy. The arc promises to deepen character development and raise the stakes following previous storylines. Fans hope the series will continue to adapt more of the manga, which holds many twists and turns yet to be revealed.
