Kuroshitsuji has mystery, silliness, humor and and a dark underlying past that is uncovered in flashback tidbits. The serious times are peppered with the silliness and sometimes you have whole episodes that are just for fun. I think that's a good balance because I can't watch too much serious stuff.
When I turn to Kuroshitsuji, I'm expecting fun and some serious stuff that will move the main characters Ciel Phantomhive (sleepy-eyed blue haired master) and the cool guy that is devilishly good at his job Sebastian (red eyes, long face, gloves and swallowtail suit). And that's usually what I get. There are a few other characters in the house and they do their job when you need some slapstick humor that only a handful of colorful useless servants can provide.When Ciel is on the road, you can count on a certain bespectacled red-head to show up and add a big dose of slapstick and heeby-jeebies. And for those serious times we see Ciel overcome obvious challenges he faces as a young master of a large company, as well as new problems that drum up his past.
Fun times are when Ciel is nearly given whiplash by his fiance, whenever he snubs the local police and when he orders Sebastian around to re-establish who is really the king and who is the knight around here. Serious times involve death, betrayal and mysteries left unanswered and only acknowledged by an eyebrow raised by Sebastian.
It is set in Victorian times, so you'll see dashes of desserts, customs, clothing, scenery and habits inspired from that time (we don't iron our newspapers before our morning read anymore).
Watch the ending that has little chibi versions of the characters as it follows a normal day at the Phantomhive house.
