Synopsis

Set in 19th-century England, the story follows Sebastian, the formidable butler of the Phantomhive household, who serves as a contracted "evil noble" carrying out Queen Victoria's clandestine tasks. A demon in his true form, Sebastian is bound by a contract with his young master, Ciel Phantomhive, a resolute boy determined to confront his cursed destiny. As Ciel's shadow, Sebastian manages and resolves the affairs of the underground world on his master's behalf.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
