This series is (as afore mentioned) an anime, manga and musical that is well known at this time. It's about a boy (Ciel Phantomhive) who lost his family in a fire and then made a contract with a demon. The demon became his butler and will serve him until the day he dies which he'll then be able to eat his soul.
On the other side of this story, there is the shinigamis (or death gods) who are in charge of guiding souls to their proper place. They despise demons and to have one like Ciel's butler (who's name is Sebastian Michaelis) is an abomination to them. Or most of them anyways. When it comes to Grell Sutcliffe, a transvestite, for lack of a better word, shinigami who's in love with the demon butler.
This series has two seasons with around 25 episodes each, including the OVA's (Ciel and Wonderland being one of them). It's action packed and very worth watching with many new people added almost each episode.
I'd give it a 9 out of 10 just because at times I feel like it gets a bit repetitive and according to a friend of mine, the anime's characters are somewhat ruined when compared to the manga. But it's still a good series and worth watching.
