If you follow the official Kuroshitsuji account on Twitter, you'll know that it just released more info on the upcoming film <i>Book of the Atlantic</i>, which is going to premiere on January 21, 2017 - let me clarify though, it's going to premiere in <i>Japanese theatres</i> so for everyone who doesn't live in Japan, it means we probably won't get to watch it till someone subs it much later. </p><p>Anyway, here's the key visual: </p> <div class="center"><figure class="article-thumb tnone show-info-icon" style="width: 300px">

Yesterday I received confirmation that three characters are going to be in the film (you can check out the cast here). The first is Viscount Druitt, which is fine and totally expected since he plays a big part in the Luxury Liner Arc. But the other two are... </p> <div class="center"><figure class="article-thumb t " style="width: px">File:BOTA Grey and Phipps.png <figcaption></figcaption></figure></div> <p>Now don't get me wrong, I love Grey and Phipps to death buuuuut the problem is...(<font color="red">oh, spoiler alert</font>) <i>they weren't even on the friggin' ship!</i> The <i>only</i> times they were included in this arc is at the way beginning when it shows that Grey kills that one guy (and I think that was already shown in the OVA) and at the waaaaaaaay end during the Easter Egg Hunt when the whole Campania thing was already 100% done. </p><p>So the question is <i>why</i> are they here? (≖ლ≖๑ )ﾌ </p><p>As soon as I heard they're casting Grey and Phipps (again, as much as I love them), I literally began burning incense sticks and praying that they won't butcher the precious manga plot. </p> <div class="ajax-poll" id="ajax-poll-41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224"><div class="header">Pray with me. </div><div id="wpPollStatus41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224" class="center"> </div><form action="#" method="post" id="axPoll41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224"><input type="hidden" name="wpPollId" value="41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224"><div id="ajax-poll-area"><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer2"><div class="pollAnswerName">Plzdontbutcherthemangaplotplzdontbutcherthemangaplotplzdontbutcherthemangaplot </div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVote41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224-2" title="100% of all votes">143</span><div class="wpPollBar41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224" id="wpPollBar41038039D315258C4CCCFD1320915224-2" style="width: 100%; border:0;"> </div></div></div>

Enjoy the results. </form></div> <p>I know everyone who hasn't read the Luxury Liner arc is like wtf but I'm serious, the manga plot is too great to tarnish. </p><p>But like, I also thought to myself that "<i>oh maybe they're just adding Grey and Phipps for fun so they can increase the action yadda ya~~</i>" - but then there's a rumor going around which states that they're including Grey and Phipps..........<font color="red"><i>at the expense of the Midford family</i></font> - which means the Midford family (Edward, Alexis, and Francis) will <i>not</i> be making an appearance............ </p><p>..... </p><p>At first, I was like "<i>oh no they can't do that the Midford family is too--</i>" but then I looked through the screenshots and I saw the PV on my phone and I'm like hmmm there's absolutely 0 signs of the Midfords. Normally all the characters that are gonna be in will get a little bit of screen time. Even that blasted Bizarre Doll got like 2 seconds...but no Eddie, no Alexis, and no Francis. </p><p>And then I started to see it happening - Grey and Phipps taking over the scenes of fighting the Bizarre Dolls, Grey and Phipps directing people to their lifeboats, Grey and Phipps doing everything the Midford family was supposed to do. AND I'M LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THIS IS WAY TOO POSSIBLE. </p><p>I think they really are gonna replace Eddie, Alexis, and Francis and act as if they never existed which is so wrong!!!! We need the British knights here! We need Eddie's jealousy, Alexis's goofiness, and Francis's sternness. Speaking of Francis, the animators must <i>really</i> hate her. She was supposed to make her debut in anime literally years ago during the Red Butler arc but they dodged it every---single---time. </p><p>I'M SO FRUSTRATED. </p><p>Like <i>look</i>, the anime already screwed up the continuity a long time ago - that's a fact. So now it's time to fix things! Don't let it worsen! Introducing the Midford family <i>now</i> is perfect. </p> <div class="ajax-poll" id="ajax-poll-9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F"><div class="header">What do you think of the possibility of Grey and Phipps replacing the Midford family? </div><div id="wpPollStatus9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F" class="center"> </div><form action="#" method="post" id="axPoll9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F"><input type="hidden" name="wpPollId" value="9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F"><div id="ajax-poll-area"><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer2"><div class="pollAnswerName">(‡▼益▼) </div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVote9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F-2" title="35.35% of all votes">35</span><div class="wpPollBar9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F" id="wpPollBar9098974EE33B65A613012EC2B8CCE98F-2" style="width: 35.35%; border:0;"> </div></div></div><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer3"><div class="pollAnswerName">I LUV GREY + PHIPPS BUT THEY ALREADY GOT THEIR CHANCE.
