Uh ... what you talking about ??? The period hasn’t changed since the beginning. It was never the 1990s...
Maybe they're referring to the phone? I am pretty sure there was a cell phone or something in the anime or first chapter (when Ciel is taken hostage and Sebastian makes the guys go over the cliff in the car) maybe that is a bit misleading?
…If I'm remembering correctly lol (≧∀≦)
You're right. I remember the anime changed it to a field telephone (look it up) to make it work, but the original manga had a 90's style flip cell phone in chapter 3.
Canonically though, this story takes place in a technologically advanced Victorian era. So, a lot of things that weren't around in that time period are in this manga. For example, the German Panzer tank wasn't a thing until WWII, yet its working prototype is available almost 50 years earlier. But the cell phone bit is certainly very silly.
（￣へ￣）the kids when they passed by the toy shop were playing on Nintendo ds Mey Rin said the sheets were in the washing machine
Yo...I never noticed the Nintendos. That IS strange.
The first few chapters are just a fever dream.
Yeah tbh, I kind of only start taking things as 100% canon and their full weight once the circus arc starts. That’s when I think the story really starts.
Weren't washing machines a thing since the 19th century tho?
yes but not automatic ones you still had to manually make it work
see the first volume is confusing I don't know why I got so many dislikes I said it bugged me I didn't say it was bad or I hate it just that the volumes after are better
guys,,,, this is also a fictional story demons and grim reapers arent accurate to real life either,,, theyre gonna skew some details here and there for plot convenience.
i know but it still bugs me to see Cellphone and Portal gaming counsels in 1889 it's not a conscious thing
yea that’s fair
I could be wrong and I don’t remember which chapter specifically, but it was early in the Curry Arc when Ciel and Soma has just gotten to know each other, where there was one panel in which Sebastian tells Ciel he was able to distract Soma. The “distraction” was that Soma was watching TV so yeah...early in the manga kinda threw more historical accuracy out of the window than the recent arcs lol.
Yup. Supposedly, Finny was allowed to watch a specific TV show with OCiel too (I think it was touched upon in ch 5?). Technology limitations aside, a servant def wouldn't be allowed to watch TV with the master.
the first volume has always bugged me it seems to take place in the late 1990s to early 2000's time but the rest take part in the late 1800s too early 1900's I love the rest of the series don't get me wrong but I have mixed feelings about the first volume
