The release date for the new Black Butler: Public School anime adaptation is pinned down to April 2024. However, there’s no exact date or time for when it will begin airing on the official Japanese website.
The announcement included a number of stations that will be showing the anime. For example, MBS, TOKYO MX, and Tochigi TV were among those named. Outside Japan, we know that Crunchyroll picked up the show. Back at Anime Expo 2023, it confirmed that it would show the CloverWorks show in 2024 when it begins airing. At the time, a first trailer also appeared.
In case you missed it, here’s that teaser. It mainly focused on confirming who would be involved in this new adaptation of the series while showing footage of Ciel and Sebastian Michaelis. It also confirmed that Daisuke Ono would play Sebastian and Maaya Sakamoto would be Ciel. Both are reprising their roles from past arcs and adaptations.
Part of this latest announcement involved a new key visual and the release of two wallpapers. The key visual shows Ciel as he’ll look in the new episodes. Meanwhile, the two wallpapers feature both Ciel and Sebastian’s key images with the series logo and a note that it will air in April 2024.
The original Black Butler anime aired back in 2008. It was followed by a Book of Circus series and Book of Murder two-episode OVA.
The Black Butler: Public School release date will fall in April 2024. The manga is handled by Yen Press. Past arcs of the anime are streaming on Crunchyroll.
