Ladies, gentlemen, and those who identify as neither, this Sunday is Father’s Day. The day when we tell our dads and father figures how much we love and appreciate them. There have been many noteworthy fathers in anime. Some are great, others aren’t, and there’s the one dad who’s so vile that we consider him …
Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen – 11
There’s an almost ho-hum quality to this incarnation of Black Butler. Indeed, the version of it that’s existed since the “Circus” Arc.
