So for people who don’t know, Kuroshitsuji is getting a movie. An anime movie to be specific. A lot of fans are super excited for this, me included. With the beauties that were Book of Circus and Book of Murder, it’s likely that this will be a pretty good damn piece of animation. So far though, we don’t know anything about it except that it exists, and Daisuke Ono and Maaya Sakamoto are back as Ciel and Sebastian. So here I am to present my thoughts on what it could possibly be about.

A lot of people are guessing/assuming that the movie is going to be about the Campania arc.

It’s the most likely option and one that I would be excited about, but wouldn’t people prefer if that arc was made into a TV series instead of a movie? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about a lot being cut so the arc could fit into the time length of a movie. So what would the movie be about? Well…

Remember when this happened?

Alan Humphries and Eric Slingby are two shinigami created by Yana Toboso.

Their story was shown in the Most Beautiful DEATH in the World musical, but by being shown in the manga, even if it’s just one panel, they are now officially canon. No one can doubt their existence within the Kuroshitsuji world.

But here’s the thing: this entire story is exclusive to the second musical and it’s rerun. A lot of people haven’t seen this musical or just don’t have access to it. An entire arc locked away from most of the fans is a bit unfair.

So that’s where my theory comes in. Next month we’ll be getting information on this movie. My theory (and personal hope) is that it’ll be based on the second Kuroshitsuji musical. There’s not much chance the musical will get another rerun anytime soon and now that Alan and Eric have been shown in the manga, there’s no denying their existence.

Their story could be summed up within the length of a movie without needing much to be cut out. It won’t be the same without the songs for sure, but if A-1 Pictures are behind it all again, then it’ll surely turn out spectacular. Plus, a lot more people would be able to witness Alan and Eric’s story if it was animated.

If I’m being honest this is more just my personal wishes, though I think everyone would be hyped to see Alan and Eric’s story in a different medium and with a different interpretation. We’ll just have to wait and see though…

The only real downside to seeing this arc animated would be that a lot people would miss out on the beauty that is the Shinigami Dispatch Association Dance…

(And before anyone complains, I know that Alan and Eric were cameod in William’s OVA, but let’s be honest, that just adds more fuel to my theory.)
