I've been to a few cons lately both large and small, and at all of them there's been one thing that's jumped out at me -- lots more Kuroshitsuji merchandise and cosplay. I guess the show is somewhat popular, considering the announcement of a second season and Yen Press licensing the manga for a US release. In fact, I found myself wondering if the anime itself might actually be licensed soon, and if the picture above is any indication, it looks like that may be the case,
We spotted this at the Aniplex booth in the dealer's room yesterday. Of course Kannagi was just recently licensed, and the Gurren Lagann movie is sure to come down the pipeline soon considering the show's popularity here. Of course, we have no official word just yet ... but I have a feeling we're going to be seeing this one announced very soon. I wonder what Sebastian's English voice actor will sound like. I'm licking my lips in anticipation already!
If Kuroshitsuji gets licensed and the voice actors are at least half decent, I swear I'll have seen heaven on Earth.
