Shouta-con detected. FUCKING FAT and UGLY shouta-con at that. Urgh, I want to puke.
Obviously Alois has got different dark background story compared to Ciel. Or is it? I got the impression that Ciel was raped by a gang after his parent's death. So maybe they aren't too different after all.
Except that I think Alois is more sadistic and sinister. He fucking poke the eyeballs of his maid so leisurely. I feel bad for him when I thought he was being fucked by a fucking fat and ugly shouta-con. Now I think he deserved it.
The feel of this show is different from that of the first season. Sure both have it dark side but at least I don't sense any evil with Ciel and Sebastian. But with Alois, evil reeks out at every corners. Ciel and Sebastian fought the bad guys. With Alois and Claude, it feels like they are the bad guy. Ciel and Sebastian treat the people (even the enemy) with respect. Alois just fucking kicked them in the butt.
We got to see familiar faces like Droit who seemingly has taken the role of Grell for being an annoying jerk. And obviously there is Sebastian who for some reason need a black tea from Alois' mansion and he has Ciel in a trunk. Ciel seems like he's unconscious though. Heh, mystery!
Looks like it is Ciel/Sebastion versus Alois/Claude. I have no complain :D

The animation is decent. It was very reminiscence of the first season of Kuroshitsuji so you get the feeling of consistency there. In one particular scene, when Claude started dancing on the ledge and changed all the curtains and shit, the animation was very fluid. Coupled with the classical music, it turned out to be very entertaining indeed even though it was very illogical. I guess you just have to believe that these butlers can do anything. They are demons after all.
They got me with the plot on the get go. It was all very mysterious and dark. They don't bother with lengthy explanation. They will let the story tells it all. The characters of Alois and Claude are pretty convincing so they rocked that I guess. And I thought Claude sounds familiar. I did my research (just look at MAL for info actually) and found out his seiyuu is Sakurai Takahiro, the same seiyuu that did Kusuriuri, Kira, Kanda Yuu (what's with the K?) and Maximelien. Nice. Now I have less reason to dislike him. Kalafina did the insert song for the show so obviously it will be a hit. I need time to get used to the OP and ED though which are done by The GazettE and Matsushita Yuya respectively.
Well, I enjoyed the first episode. Look forward to the second one.
