Flower Mound, Texas (8/9) – FUNimation Entertainment® announced today it has acquired the home entertainment, digital and broadcast rights to the OVA series Black Butler – Book of Murder.
From Studio: A-1 Pictures, the studio that brought you Blue Exorcist, Sword Art Online, Fairy Tail, and Black Butler, the series was directed by Noriyuki Abe, known for Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Black Butler – Book of Circus.
synopsis:
At the Queen’s behest, young master Ciel Phantomhive hosts a lavish banquet to be attended by the crème-de-la-crème of London’s elite. What begins as a fabulous affair quickly takes a dark turn when guests begin turning up dead! Murder takes center stage in this chilling OVA collection where even a debonair demon butler isn’t safe from a killer on the prowl. Should Sebastian and Ciel wish to once more see the light of day, they must join forces with their guests, including the legendary author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to unravel the mystery – and apprehend the murderer before it’s too late!

Good news. It seems to be almost impossible for anime companies to sometimes get rights to OVAs. In time maybe Future Diary’s OVA “Redial” perhaps someday.
Book of Murder is in the bag which is good because despite some of my initial fears the current airing Black Butler 3 is pretty good even if it is different than previous incarnations.
I feel it’s different because it’s a manga adaption, instead of something created specially for the anime. And yes, know that the first half of the first season is apparently all from the manga as well, but I think that Book of Circus does a much better job at having everything from the manga in it. In all honesty, I prefer it to the first two, and I look forward to Book of Murder.
Yeah. I knew about this being more of a manga centric following adaptation. I prefered personally Season 2 the most and Season 1 did like also. After accepting that this series might have a diffrent flavor to it. I feel that I can get into Book of Circus as well, so it is not all bad.
I also look forward to Book of Murder!
Yeah! I’m not surprise but its nice to see confirmation. Enjoying Book of Circus right now.
is this an offical thing? because wikipedia is usually up to date on everything and book of murder isnt listed. so im just wondering if this is just an idea or???
So when is Funimation getting book of murder and will it be totally and completely free?
Is it supposed to be released today or is that just japan????
i heard it only aired in japan and everywhere else has to wait a year
Bro that sucks! I’ve waited so long!
It’s in the movies in Japan. I CANT FIND A WEBSITE TO WACH IT, IM CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!
Ugh, so how long do we have to wait for the book of murder to be released other than japan…
I AM DYING TO SEE IT!!
this is fantastic news caint wait to see it english dub of it. maybe this will cover a lot between the season 2 and season three (book of circus)
Most of the Kuroshitsuji anime and all of Kuroshitsuji 2 was actually completely anime original and has absolutely nothing to do with both Book of Circus and Book of Murder. Book of Circus takes place around the end of the Curry Contest Arc (if I remember correctly) and Book of Murder takes place right after Book of Circus. I would recommend reading the manga because of how much better and further it goes compared to the anime.
SEBASTIAN DIES!!!!!
