#and that renbourn had fallen to ruin

[cyrilvows]

as much as it pains me to think the upcoming season of Kuro will be some people's first experience with the series and they will simply not enjoy the older material as much, that is also my experience. Book of Circus was my first time interacting with Black Butler, when I was but a wee lad with hardly any understanding of what was happening. As a result, BoC will always be my favourite season. I just don't watch the other seasons or animated material as much (though I do hold season two and BoA very near and dear to my heart) and I've yet to watch the wonderland ova at all, but I know one thing for sure: if I'd had people on the internet yelling down my ear to watch the other things or read the manga just for the sake of they're really good trust me, it would have done nothing but push me away from Black Butler.

so here's your friendly reminder to be kind to all the new fans of Kuro that are gonna arrive next year! we all know the previous seasons are... an experience (looking at you season one you delightful non-canon catastrophe), but let them figure that out on their own.
