1* ActingForTwo: Ciel's English dub voice actress Creator/BrinaPalencia also voices his mother, Rachel Phantomhive. Averted in the Japanese version, however, where Ciel and his mother are portrayed by different voice actresses.
2* BTeamSequel: The new season will be animated by [=CloverWorks=].
3* CrossdressingVoices:
4** You may know Ciel's Japanese voice actress to be that of [[Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub Haruhi Fujioka]]. He is also voiced by Creator/BrinaPalencia in the English dub.
5** Alois may sound a little like [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Fate]] [[Creator/NanaMizuki Testarossa]] when he's putting on his "sweet, innocent child" act.
6** Grell is voiced by male actors in almost all versions (Creator/JunFukuyama in Japanese and Daniel Frederick in English) despite being a transgender woman.
7* FakeBrit: In the English dub, the actors are all American, mostly Texan. In Creator/JMichaelTatum's case, it comes from a lifetime of watching ''Doctor Who'' and other British shows, and a British speech therapist when he was a child, who he speaks of a lot at conventions. This trope gets a humorous nod in the "Making of Black Butler II" OVA, although some of the AnimatedActors are just faking different kinds of British accents. Furthermore, this is (so far) the ''only'' time Creator/CheramiLeigh has ever used a foreign accent for an entire performance of a character in her entire career.
8* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/JohnSwasey as a [[spoiler:{{Bishonen}}]]. instead of his usual roles as either a CoolOldGuy, middle-aged men, or EvilOldFolks.
9* TransCharacterCisActor: Grell, who is transfem, is voiced by Creator/JunFukuyama in Japanese and Daniel Fredrick in English, both of whom are cis male actors.
