Black Butler season 2 has been a topic of discussion among fans and critics alike, with some viewers expressing disappointment at the lack of redemption for certain characters. However, I found many redeeming qualities about this season that made it enjoyable to watch.

One of the standout villains of the series is Alois Trancy, played by Luci Christian. His flamboyant personality and over-the-top antics make him a compelling character to watch. Despite not being officially listed as supplements in the Blu-ray package, the second season set includes all six OVAs that were released during the original run of the series.

The bonus features on the Blu-rays are also worth mentioning. The textless closing songs 'Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa' and 'Bird', as well as the opening song 'Shiver', provide a unique perspective on the music used in the series. Additionally, the outtakes feature audio errors playing over the animation sequences where they took place.

The commentaries included with the Blu-rays offer insight into the creation of the series and the voice actors' experiences bringing the characters to life. Ian Sinclair's commentary for OVA 3 is particularly enjoyable, as he shares his thoughts on the episode and the approach taken by the voice artists. The chemistry between Brina Palencia (Ciel) and J. (voice actor) in their commentary for Episode 12 is also noticeable.

Overall, Black Butler season 2 has its flaws, but it also offers many redeeming qualities that make it worth watching. With its unique blend of humor and drama, as well as the engaging characters and bonus features, this season is a must-see for fans of the series.
