In late-nineteenth century England, one year and three months after the dramatic conclusion of the original series, Kuroshitsuji II introduces a new butler and young master. The sadistic yet cheerful Alois Trancy has faced some harsh times. He was kidnapped as a baby, and was forced to work in a village as a slave. Gradually, he lost his parents, his best friend, and everyone he knew. Alois eventually returned home and became the head of his mansion, but seemed to exhibit some strange behavior ever since. Even more curiously, he returned with Claude Faustus, an enigmatic, emotionless butler with unfathomable talent...

Personal Ratings: 3.5
I think this was quite a refreshing season, because there is not much connection with the manga.

I liked how they showed some of the other demons in the world, because in the manga, it seems that only Sebastian is a demon, and there were no others out there.
There were also quite a bit of twist in the anime; which makes the ending part a lot more interesting.

I liked to see the fight between the two 'perfect' butlers, but I think it would have been much nicer if they actually showed the Merlin, Bran and Finny fighting with the other 3 demons (the triplets);

Though the starting was a bit hard to understand; because there was a confusion between the ending of the season 1. A little bit too sadistic, I find. Some of Caude's and Alois's actions were kind of a mystery to me.
I'm quite confused as to why Sebastian would accept being Ciel's butler for life, even though Ciel is now a demon and Sebastian can no longer take his soul.
