For those confused, this specific listing is for the Season 2 OVAs of Black Butler. :)

I sense these were meant to be filler episodes that instead became OVAs, but after finishing S2 they were very refreshing to see. I enjoyed seeing backstories of side characters, and a first-person episode was an interesting experience.

The Alice in Wonderland episodes were cute, but felt too long. I'd recommend taking the time to watch these episodes, though, as they add a bit of depth to some characters, explain more about the Reapers, and give a very fun 4th wall break.

It is often characterized by its use of flat design and limited animation, with characters characterized by large expressive eyes, exaggerated facial expressions, and defined lines. These stories are produced for audiences of all ages, with specific subgenres catering to different age groups.

The dark comedy subgenre, also known as black comedy, combines humor with elements of tragedy, morbidity, or darker themes. Dark comedies often explore serious or taboo subjects, such as death, crime, dysfunction, and societal issues, while infusing these topics with humor to create an unusual and often thought-provoking contrast. The humor in dark comedies is typically edgy, satirical, and often unsettling, challenging traditional comedic norms.
