3DF Downtime Update

Hey there, 3DF fans.

It had been brought to my attention tonight after someone tried to listen to For the Love of Stella that the links had become unavailable. This is due to many of our projects being turned off by 4Shared, due to the music that was used in the Black Butler projects.

The issue has been taken care of and all projects are now currently up and running. I want to once again make clear, however, that I'm running a non-profit group. We make absolutely no money off of our projects. We are not out to hurt anyone. I credit all sources and point listeners in the direction of finding those sources to support them. Music in our projects is turned down low and constantly has sound and voices playing over it. However, if anyone has a specific issue, please come to me about it. I will gladly adjust anything that needs to be so. Anything to keep the hard work, time, and love put into this group's work available for all.

Once again, all projects are working again. Streaming is currently unavailable on the majority of projects outside of the Post-Production Podcast. Only the main Black Butler projects and In French can be streamed. The Story of Will the Reaper can still be seen over on YouTube. I once again thank you for your understanding.

Premiere! BB: The Spider's Intention

~ Download full audio here!

Welcome to the estate of the "Queen's Spider," Alois, the Earl Trancy. At first glance, it appears to be the home of a young nobleman. But what lies inside is a dark past, an unstable soul...and an entire staff of Demons to nurture it, led by Alois' butler, Claude Faustus.

The Spider's Intention is based on the Season 2 OVA of the same name. Please note that it might contain spoilers for Black Butler II. But, at the same time, it makes a rather wonderful prelude to the anime-exclusive tale.

CAST
(In order of appearance)
Alois Trancy - Samantha Ylagan
Claude Faustus, his butler - Curt Rose


The Triplets
Timber - David Kelter, Jr.
Thompson - Curt Rose
Cantebury - Dylan Spencer

BLACK BUTLER: The Spider's Intention

3/16 UPDATE: Our fan-presentation of The Spider's Intention will officially premiere on Monday, March 19th.

With Black Butler "Proper" slowly winding down, 3DF is starting to feel the Finale Blues. We have the upcoming For the Love of Stella coming up very soon, but some of us wanted one last hurrah with the series. And quite literally overnight came Black Butler: The Spider's Intention.

Based on the Season 2 OVA episode of the same name, The Spider's Intention is a short story that focuses on the anime-exclusive members of the Trancy household. If you thought the Phantomhive Estate was madness, just wait until you see a day in the life of a boy that has an entire staff of Demons.

The cast includes Samantha Ylagan and Curt Rose as Alois Trancy and his Demon butler, Claude Faustus; Rina Adachi as Hannah Annafellows; David Kelter, Jr. as Timber; and Dylan Spencer as Cantebury. Sam also voices Luka Macken and Curt plays the third triplet, Thompson.

Advisory: Please be aware that Season 2 is rated TV-MA as opposed to the TV-14 of Season 1. While this episode is rather tame, 3DF still strongly encourages discretion for language and content.

As always, 3DF is not associated with Yana Toboso, Square Enix, A-1 Pictures or FUNimation. We are simply a group of fans who love the series and do this entirely for fun, not profit. Black Butler II will be released in North America by FUNimation on April 3rd, and is currently available for pre-order. This episode, as well as another 3DF favorite, The Story of Will the Reaper, are part of that beautiful package. Show them some love and get a copy!
