Tragically, Atsuko Tanaka, the seiyuu who played Frances Midford, has died.

Both Yana and Editor K paid their respects to the departed actress, expressing their astonishment at the fact that she was battling the illness that would ultimately take her life while recording for the Public School Arc. They also gave high praise to Tanaka’s portrayal of Frances, with Yana noting that her “strong, gentle, and dignified voice was exactly what I imagined Frances to be like,” and Editor K lauding her as “the world’s strongest female voice.”

May her memory be eternal!

Yana watched the first episode of public school arc in Animejapan and both her editor and Watanabe Toshiki in the quote and comments of her tweet were surprised she was actually there 😂

About Kuro 2024 episode 6 : Ed's genius ability

(Companion post to this one)

I was looking forward to this episode and I'm so glad they kept Edward's pivotal moment...

...totally uncut. It's especially striking when a few other manga scenes didn't make it into the episode.

I know fans like to joke that Ed is too much of a good guy (and also gay), which is how he managed to reproduce Cheslock's cricket move, but that's not it :

Like Liz, Ed is a genius, even if he doesn't realize it yet. And I'm glad that Editor K commented on this anime bit with this :

"There's one person in all boys' manga who has the ability to copy. This special skill is explained in the cricket episode, but in other words, Edward has the potential to become super strong in battle"

(by google translate)

According to Yana, Ed takes after Frances who takes after her dad, Cedric K. Ros--, so this means Ed takes after Cedric as well.

But according to several fans, including me, there is a good probability that Cedric K. Ros-- is one of the Undertaker's many identities over his existence and he's currently the strongest character of the series, who put even Seb in difficulty twice.

According to Editor K above, Ed's ability makes him likely to become super strong in battle (by the way, it's also an ability that allowed him to put on a flawless leader of a boys' band act, just like UT acted perfectly as Weston's principal, just saying).

I think we don't need more to put 2 and 2 together : Ed is going to be a very important ally on our!Ciel's side against real!Ciel's.

Yana and Editor K's comments about Ciel's birthday and the new Kuroshitsuji anime 12/14/2023:

[They are QRTs/Reposts from @kuroshitsuji_pr post]

[kuroshitconfessions]

If Sebastian does end up getting Ciel's soul then I hope he at least feels bad for the rest of eternity for it. I know Editor K (I think it was him?) wrote that thing where Sebastian shows up at the ruins of the manor on Ciel's birthday with a cake and muses that he's lonely now, and even though it's been years I don't think he and Yana would just completely scrap the idea? It still seems Sebastian-y for him to get lonely after all that, even if it's his own fault for eating his company.

I feel like Editor K has a better grip on Sebastian than Yana does, sometimes. She's out here like "Sebastian has to look cool!" and he's like "what if for the audio drama version of ch 1, instead of removing the tablecloth, he just slurps up the wine really fast before the guest notices?" Maybe we have Editor K to thank for what a dork Sebastian is. (Sadly afaik Sebastian didn't slurp the wine but it's funny to think that in an alternate universe that audio drama cd exists.)

holy fuck was that the vice principle talking at the beginning DEEP SEXY VOICE ALERT- maybe they;ll get claudes english VA to return to him

Hi, anon! Given the quick opening shot of what appears to be Agares shaking hands with O!Ciel (which probably corresponds to this scene from Chapter 68), I think so!

Moreover, based on his retweet of the new trailer, Editor K shares your appreciation for Agares’s “super beautiful voice”!

[Text ID: Screenshot of a Tweet from Editor K (handle @takekumax).

English text from Google Translate

“New anime PV and main character P4 (4 supervisors: Prefect) cast released!

The glamorous aura of public schools where elites gather is amazing✨

(And Vice Principal Agares also has a super beautiful voice 🎓)”

End text]

Honestly, it would be such a meme for the English dub to bring back Claude’s VA, especially since I’ve already seen folks hoping against hope that trash spider and/or Alois will miraculously make a cameo…though it might add an element of confusion for anime-only fans considering how similar the two look! 😂

Kuro fandom and fighting misinformation

Hi there! :D So with the announcement of a new anime coming up in 2024, a large part of the fandom took a pledge to avoid the return of fandom toxicity (yay ! <3) and I wanted to do my part, as more than a decade long reader of this series. :)) 

As some of you might know, my thing is theorizing. I’m probs a relic and no one cares, but ! after over 10 years on this site, my tag for Kuro theories has about 150 pages. Most of Kuro theorists and info blogs are long gone from this site, but some of us remain and know where info can be found. 

While Yana has been more silent recently, because she’s overworked (working on both Kuroshitsuji and Twisted Wonderland) and that’s why the pace is slow, she used to be pretty talkative about Kuroshitsuji’s story, leaving hints and additional lore about her characters in some blog posts and tweets that she would write from time to time. 

Lately though, these nice details and facts have been more than forgotten and, as such, misinformation has been spreading. 

So ! The point of this post is to link to these info sources that some bloggers, while inactive, have left on tumblr. Additionally, seeing as I have vacations soon, I will try to debunk some assumed misconceptions that I saw lately throughout the fandom because :

I genuinely think Yana is doing a great job weaving such a meticulous mystery. She’s playing around with foreshadowing and using the many nuances of the Japanese language to hide subtle hints and she’s very commendable as a writer for that. <3

This fandom used to be pretty good at collaborating to try and guess answers. Sure, many left but the ones who stayed are still very eager to find out what Yana has planned for so many years (otherwise no one would read the chapters every month), so I say let’s keep digging ! :D

Last one is more personal, but some of y’all have had a lot of fun lately leaving disrespectful comments on my posts, maybe thinking I’m some sort of dusty theory blog or idk. (◕ᴗ◕✿) The fact is though that a) I’ve been here longer than probably most of you, b) I haven’t been wrong often and c) over the years I’ve proposed at least one theory for nearly every mystery of Kuroshitsuji that still is relevant to this day. Waiting for your stats if you want to fight (to say nothing about the amount of time writing this kind of posts takes), but I doubt they’re better than mine. 💅

Anyway :D Here are some links for you guys. Read or read not, that’s on you now!

Lastly, for the duration of August, if there’s a topic in Kuroshisuji you’d specifically like to discuss, then you can come talk to me through the askbox, I’ll answer privately. :)) If you have a request about some misinformation in particular, or if you’re looking for blog recommendations for theories, you can also ask (by comment, reblog or the askbox). Anons are for now cancelled for the whole month at least (if I still have asks to answer, then I will, don’t worry).

Enjoy your weekend, Kuro fandom! ^3^
