If you like the 1st season you appreciate the sequel though i must admit it lacks the charisma and charm that the previous story has though it definitely has more history, darker plots & characters and a more fascinating actions as it introduce the House of Trancy. Despite Ciel's amnesia he still retains his cool, collective and cold attitude in contrast to his rival Alois's childlike and sadistic personality. Sebastian's rival Claude is not pushover and it's entertaining to watch as these two demons battle it out with both brains and brawn. Alois is a bit of an annoying character though his history is tragic his childish attitude and dependency to his butler Claude and his demonic minions Hannah & the Triplets is a bit over the top and didn't level up to Ciels character making more than an annoyance rather than a rival. The animation is a visually stunning as the previous and as the story progresses it becomes more interesting making it a good sequel from the original.
