Black Butler

In Victorian England it is commonplace for the rich and wealthy to have a staff, led by a head butler, to run their households; the Phantomhive Estate is no different. The young and demanding Count Ciel Phantomhive, child owner of a toy company, lives in the grand countryside manor. Sebastian is his head butler, and the epitome of perfection; he effortlessly and gracefully completes his day-to day chores and fixes the countless mistakes of the other employees. However, whilst on the outside all seems prim and proper, a more sinister secret lies just beneath the surface. Sebastian is in fact a demon bound by a contract with the young count; he will loyally serve and fight for him in return for his soul.

Totally has gothic vibes. Gotta love the storyline too. Requiem of the Rose King is a bit gorier than Black Butler though. Only, the anime of the first one is a bit lacking in terms of story telling and animation. I would recommend reading the manga instead for Requiem of the Rose King.

Both based on classic literature and both have LGBT themes. Similar surreal vibes. Gankutsuou is a reinterpretation.
