Black Butler: Emerald Witch Reveals Ending Theme Song Details

RYUGUJO is performing the Black Butler: Emerald Witch arc ending theme song, titled "WALTZ." The song was written and composed by Avu-chan from Queen Bee, who is also the band's producer. The band commented on the news, stating that all the members have read the original work and that they are happy to have Black Butler as their first anime tie-in.

The sequel premieres this April, with studio CloverWorks returning to animate. As previously announced, the opening theme song for the fifth season of the Black Butler anime will be "Maisie" by Cö Shu Nie and HYDE.

CloverWorks also animated the previous installment of the series, the Black Butler: Public School Arc anime, with the same staff. Kenjiro Okada is directing with Hiroyuki Yoshino on the series composition. Yumi Shimizu is in charge of the character designs and Ryo Kawasaki composing the music.

Yana Tobo’s manga was first adapted into anime by studio A-1 Pictures in 2008. The studio would go on to animate the first two seasons, and although the second season diverts from the manga, the sequel, Book of Circus, returns to the source material. The Book of Circus movie was followed by Book of Murder OVA and Book of the Atlantic movie. 

Crunchyroll is streaming the anime and describes the plot as:
Ciel Phantomhive is the most powerful boy in all of England, but he bears the scars of unspeakable suffering. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. Desperate to end his suffering, the boy traded his own soul for a chance at vengeance, casting his lot with the one person on whom he could depend: Sebastian, a demon Butler summoned from the very pits of hell. Together, they’ll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil.

The Black Butler manga is also nearing the finale, as author Yana Tobo is doing research to ensure the details are properly depicted.
