The removal of the season comes from Funimation’s expiring licenses from Aniplex animes. Black Butler is one of many animes licensed out that is set to expire in the near future. This means the license to stream or distribute the anime will revert back to Aniplex.
“It’s One Hell of a Shame!”
Funimation’s license for season one is set to expire on May 29th. They have, in the meantime, encouraged fans to buy the Blu-Ray/DVD set of the anime while they can. If Aniplex decides not to reprint the title, buying a set online could become difficult and expensive.
According to Funimation, season two will still remain available.
