Demon-butler series Kuroshitsuji is confirmed for a 2nd season of the TV anime adaptation, according to a recent blog entry by seiyuu Junichi Suwabe (Fate/stay Night’s Archer, and Undertaker’s seiyuu in the first season) following a special promotional event held Sunday.

The following entry on Suwabe’s blog was made yesterday evening:

That’s finally over – thanks a lot!

And then…

Kuroshitsuji…

Anime…

Second Season confirmed!

Look forward to it.

The entry was made following a special Kuroshitsuji event held earlier that same day at the Tokyo International Forum, where the news was apparently first revealed.

Suwabe’s blog entry has become the focus of the announcement rather than any reports from the event for some odd reason, but at least he was careful to make quite the stylish post about it.

The original 24-episode series only ended its first run this spring with the manga still ongoing, so fans of the Victorian-era supernatural-themed series have not had long to wait for the confirmation, and are understandably delighted by the news.
