Ciel if Ciel were a woman in disguise. As a Shakespeare fan, I love that idea! This movie is starting to look really awesome!

I love how it looks like it's not anime-canon. That's refreshing. (I guess it's not even manga-canon... it looks like it's AU sort of?)
Also... I'm wondering where the Grim Reapers are. I'm excited to see what they do there.

Whoa, OK. That ain't Sebastian. Nope.

They should've just had Ono Daisuke play the part of Sebastian. He looks way better than this dude.

YEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy Mizushima Hiro is back!!!!

Well, I gotta admit, MizuHiro DOESN'T seem to look like Sebastian (I'd prefer it to be MatsuYuya) but that second image brings back Mei-chan no Shitsuji days haha :'D

I aint really butthurt over this, I'm only wanting to watch this live action for the return of Mizushima Hiro! Very Happy

While the original manga is set in 19th century England, this new film is set more than 130 years later in 2020, in an Asian city where Western and Asian cultures freely intermingle.


Oh. My. God.

They're doing what Hollywood does!

Mizushima slimmed down to around 50 kilograms (about 110 pounds)


He better be a small guy; otherwise, that's borderline malnutrition! Laughing

Does this mean that the terrible fake English accents will be skipped this time?

Mizushima Hiro can speak English quite fluently since he was raised in Switzerland (i think it was) for about 7yrs of his life before moving to Japan. He's been in various dramas where he uses his English, and it sounded quite normal to me.

I think it's just his hair in the article's picture; it doesn't seem to fit him. He's much more attractive when he has the hairstyle from Kamen Rider Kabuto and Tokyo Dogs. Laughing

Yup, he's very fluent in English as depicted in this video. Here's another video of him speaking English from a behind the scenes of Kamen Rider Kabuto.

If this is the hairstyle they're giving him in the movie then it doesn't really matter how well he looks in other stuff though. ^^;;

I know, and I laugh at people that attack Hollywood for whitewashing and Americanizing anime when going live-action yet turn a blind eye when Japan does something similar. This is one example of Japan doing what Hollywood would do.

Switzerland isn't an English speaking country, so how could he learn/pick up English in a country, that doesn't use English extensively? The only countries that aren't English speaking that have good usage of English are the Nordic regions, where 66%-90% of everyone speaks fluent English
