Summary

  • Black Butler made a successful return in 2024 with the Public School Arc, pleasing fans and critics alike.
  • The upcoming Emerald Witch Arc promises a dark and mysterious storyline, premiering on April 5, 2025.
  • The original cast will return for the Emerald Witch Arc, with an exciting mix of new characters and talented creators.

As an observer, I can’t help but express my excitement after a nearly decade-long pause, Black Butler made a stunning resurgence in 2024 with its fourth season, delving into the beloved Public School Arc from Yana Toboso’s manga. The series’ heartfelt return garnered immense praise, rekindling the ardor of longtime fans. Now, Black Butler is preparing to maintain this momentum with the Emerald Witch Arc in April, and the anticipation has only intensified since the final official trailer was unveiled at AnimeJapan 2025.

The series known as Black Butler was first introduced in 2008, swiftly gaining popularity within the realm of gothic anime. Originally based on Yana Toboso’s manga, the show chronicles Ciel Phantomhive, a young aristocrat who solves mysteries on behalf of Queen Victoria. Accompanying him is Sebastian Michaelis, a mysterious and extraordinarily skilled demon butler, who serves Ciel in return for his soul. Initially, the anime deviated from its original storyline, but subsequent adaptations, such as the Book of Circus and Book of the Atlantic, have brought it back to its authentic narrative trajectory.

In the newly unveiled trailer, we see a chilling depiction unfolding. Ciel and Sebastian are called by Queen Victoria to explore the macabre deaths happening in a remote German hamlet shrouded in mystery. Whispers of a haunted woodland and the mysterious figure, the Emerald Witch, abound. As they delve into the village’s hidden truths, they cross paths with Sieglinde Sullivan, a respected young girl believed to be the Emerald Witch, as well as her stoic butler Wolfram.

Director Kenjiro Okada assures a new, innovative direction while preserving the unique style that the series is known for.

To accurately portray the new season, I first immersed myself deeply in the manga series to grasp its setting, mood, and narrative style. By revisiting the animations based on these original works, I could then connect the pieces and create a cohesive continuation.

As an observer, I can hardly contain my anticipation! Fortunately for fans, the Emerald Witch Arc will debut shortly, gracing our screens on April 5, 2025. Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV, and Tochigi TV will broadcast it in Japan, while Crunchyroll will stream it worldwide for everyone to enjoy!
