This is a long post. I love to yap. There will be links.
So... Do you, too, love Black Butler musicals? Are you tired of finding only crunchy four times regurgitated youtube uploads of them? Do you have too much space on your hard drive? Because I sure do have a solution for you! You can find this juicy solution further in this post or on my dedicated kuromyu archive page.
As a huge Musical Kuroshitsuji fan, I wanted to share my love for them through sharing my collection of the DVDs and Blu-rays. Specifically, sharing their disc images, so that everyone could watch the best versions of these fine musicals there are without committing to the grueling task of importing said discs from Japan. I’m sharing these for the sake of our small Kuromyu fandom and for posterity. As the older musicals aren’t even being included in the current online streamings, and getting your hands on their physical copies is only going to get harder and more expensive, I want to preserve them for future fans who will struggle/are struggling to find a decent copy to watch to even decide if they actually like this stuff in the first place. Of course, if you love these musicals, I encourage you to still actually go buy them (they come in very pretty boxes!)
I'm sharing torrent files of disc images, aka digital copies of the discs, .iso files to be precise. A player like VLC can play them from the get-go, though you can also use a disc emulator to mount the “discs” on or/and use a tool to convert them into a more convenient format if you wish to do so.
Why I don’t simply share a bunch of .mkv files or something? Well, I have two reasons:
The Blu-rays are chonky (40+ gigs!), and any conversion that would mitigate the size also inevitably impacts the quality, and this is supposed to be an archive for fandom posterity. As I lack the technical knowledge on how to make beautiful, but lean video files, I’ll leave this task to others. Do it yourself (and share it, too!) You have my blessing.
I want to preserve the crunchy DVD menus, also, lol. They’re nothing special, but they add to the vibe, you know?
Each torrent file consists of two or three iso files: a main musical disc, a bonus/backstage disc and an Animate exclusive bonus/backstage disc. All of them are sourced directly from the discs that I own irl. I also own all of the pamphlets and visual books for their respective musicals. I’m not going to scan them (don’t really have the means), but I can at least take photos if needed. By request only, though.
(Not) Finally, the actual Musical Kuroshitsuji Disc Image Archive:

+ Backstage [3.87gb]
+ Animate bonus [1.35gb]

+ Backstage [4.08gb]

+ Backstage [4.33gb]
Musical Kuroshitsuji 3.5. Lycoris that Blazes the Earth (2015):
+ Musical [41gb]
+ Backstage [7gb]
Musical Kuroshitsuji 4. Noah's Ark Circus (2016):

Yeah, starting with 3.5 the main files are humongous, that's Blu-ray for you. Most (all?) DVDs are region-locked, but I can confirm that at least VLC plays all of them with no issue. YMMV. None of them are subbed.
If you download anything, please try to seed for as long as you can. While I’m not planning to stop seeding any time soon (I’d have to have a major falling out with Kuroshitsuji for that to happen, and I’ve been a fan since late 2010, lol), I’m only one person, and the Blu-rays do be chonky. If I end up being the only seeder, and trying to download something you find no connection, consider this:
I live in the UTC+3 timezone, and I prefer to shutdown my PC during the night, so please be patient, I might be simply getting my honk shoo mimimimis.
Contact me! Here, on tumblr (if I don’t look active, your best chances for a faster response would be on my art acc), on twitter, or even on reddit, lol. DulcetPill is the name. Let me know that you’re trying to download, and I’ll make sure to keep my hard drive plugged in and leave PC on.
You’re welcome to share this post and the aforementioned archive page, these torrents and their contents with fellow fans! If you want to upload them “properly” somewhere, be my guest! I shared and will continue to share all of this because of my immeasurable love for all things Kuroshitsuji and its musical adaptations in particular. I want more people to love them too, and in the best possible quality :)
I only ask you not to tag Kuromyu actors/staff/Yana-sensei on social media in posts with links, and also maybe avoid main fandom tags on twitter or wherever else official Kuro pages are active, because, you know, while this little ‘project’ is made out of love, it’s also a bit (a lot) on the yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum side. Be mindful.
Thank you for your attention, consideration and potential reblogs! 🖤 watch kuromyu or else

To YOU it’s bad writing. To ME it’s a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also it’s bad writing
