It was announced in July 2008 that an anime adaption, directed by Shinohara Toshiya and produced by A-1 Pictures, was expected. It premiered in October 2008, and has since ended with 24 episodes.

The first season was a fun watch. The second season started to stray off into a million different possibilities, but never the less, it was a decent anime.

I, too, personally love Season 1 than 2 including season 1's OVA. No intention to offense Alois' fans out there, but I really don't like his character. A total opposite of Ciel IMO.
