| Enju is love. Whatever they do with the show doesn't matter as long as Enju is well :3 |

Blackbird said: Indeed, pace was so fast and I'm getting a bit confused what is going on. :D i agree, me2. |
| Well, what can i say... That escaleted quickly!, awesome episode though. |

| Wish that Rentaro was actually killed just because that would have been one amazing plot twist, but I'm sure there will be loads of them to come. I thought this anime would have been more fast paced but it's a bit slow for me, hope it picks up soon |

Teira27 said: With "killed" u mean killed like Eren?Just a random thought. And i don't think they could possibly rush this more, i mean, i'm not even familiarized with the LN but this feels rushed as hell!Wish that Rentaro was actually killed just because that would have been one amazing plot twist, but I'm sure there will be loads of them to come. I thought this anime would have been more fast paced but it's a bit slow for me, hope it picks up soon |

| 6 months injury healed in 1 day. I call hax. |
| Rentarou has probably been modified like the masked antagonist. The pacing's a bit too quick, but next episode should be quite exciting. |

| Damn! He just got up and started walking after being stabbed on both sides, shot and fell into the river after less than two days lol~ |
 |
| All that episode reminded me of The Last of Us :P Damn, now I want to know more on Rentaro past. How did he got so injured that they had to require ''that thing''? And also, what is ''that thing'' she putted in him, the surgeon? I guess it is related to his weird power. Also, no normal human could survive after being that much injured. Masked guy is a sneaky bastard. That shock wave looked sooo painful, to have your bones and body crushed against a rock... :/ Cute Enjou is back on the ride and now there is even another loli! Rentarou, you weird pimp :P Her Prtotector look like an asshole though, asking her to kill other participant so they don't get the price. At least, do the dirty job yourself -__- |

| This show is such crap! I'm so done with this ichii_1 said: Stage 5 can destroy the world in hours if they wanted to but they don't, because good old plot never fails. Next tiime Rentarou kills Shougen and takes his loli muhahaha now that would be beyond epic :D That would actually be better than what they're doing now, I can't this show seriously anymore. Why not go full comedy? |
 |
| Sweet jesus that was rushed. Damn fast recovery by Satomi lol, but meh at that part. some really nice development between Enju and Satomi :D I liked that. Kagetane's 'Maximum Pain' is just like Pain's 'Almighty Push' "Papa! Enju ran away! I want to cut her!" - lol -___ - Kohina Yehh they introduced Shogen's initiator, Senju Kayo :) Enju getting jelleh :/ A lot was cut if I were to compare it to the manga ver. (no idea what the LN was like.) Dem feels. Time for a possible final battle against Kagetane :O |
 |
| Now that I have read the manga, I hate that a lot of moments are rushed and cut especially with Kisara, where she is supposed to be crying at Rentaro's side, but it wasn't shown at all. >.< From the pacing they are going, I think the series will only have 12-13 episodes. >_< |

| it feels like I've already seen a handful of episodes by ep.3 I'm really enjoying this series and the feels for the kidz <3 |
| Good thing I haven't read the manga...well I did but it was so long ago that I've already forgotten about it XD! I can at least enjoy this even though some parts don't make sense. You guys should just try to see this as a different kind of adaptation or else you'll only get disappointed like you are now. Constantly comparing it to the manga/LN will just make things worse. At least try to enjoy it as it is until you can no longer endure and drop it. It's less painful that way :( |

| Its to fast paced I think they skip a lot from the manga. |

| The giant spider can fly... it's a flying spidah! That part about "even if the world doesn't accept you/need you" bla bla feels like i have heard it many times before in other anime lol Wow... shot, smashed in that boulder and stabbed so many times, but he Rentaro's still standing, that's some super endurance and damage reduction abilities he has there. That stage 4 looked like a T-Rex, shark and chicken all put together lol. Overall a decent episode and I would've loved to seen more action in it. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| does the main character has a special ability to heal supper fast or something? is that what they did '10 years ago' in that surgery? also, it went by really fast, i am a little confuse too since the mask guy at first wanted him and now he 'killed' him wtf? |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| Whoo! Nice episode! Looks like Enju and Rentaro's relationship is good again. Though, all that ostracizing and prejudice is really getting on my nerves. On another note, Kagetane is seriously not one to mess with. Actually, neither of them. With all that stabbing and shooting and whatnot. I'm sort of surprised it only took him a day and a few hours to recover. Then again, this is anime. Anything can happen. Or maybe, just maybe, Rentaro isn't human after all? Huh, that'd be a nice plot twist...probably. Looks like Seitenshi-sama is clearly 'cereal' about the chase. Also, another loli makes an appearance! Hmm...Now I'm kinda curious about Rentaro's past after what happened in that scene. REALIZATION: Another episode, please!? :3 |
| The pacing is a bit ridiculous this ep... I swear this ep went like this for the first 5 minutes or so: Sumire's lab -> Enju's School -> Unknown Forest Area -> Hospital WTF happened to Rintaro's injuries?! He received like a bullet wound in his upper-right chest + Hiruko's technigue " Maximum Pain" + 2 major stab wounds near his abdomen area + another bullet wound around center of chest + falling down a cliff = Worst Day Ever Also, did any of you laugh when Enju carried Rentaro when running away from the Stage 4 Gastrea?! Hahah, I bloody LOL'd like hell watching a Loli character carry a grown man. |
 |
| So will the dolphin model eventually become his second partner I wonder? Great episode!!! |
 |
| The pacing in this series is just too random, and it gets really annoying at times >_> |
| that was quick, want to know more about the masked guy.... |
| Wanna listen to some good OP/ED songs? Head over to my profile! |
| Too fast-paced and kinda boring. I liked the ending though |
| So it seems like Rentarou has a special body that recovers from fatal injuries. The sensei gave him a choice to make 10 years ago and I am sure it has definitely something to do with him recovering so quickly. Enju sees Rentarou as her family and so does Rentarou. I hope they remain like that :) |

| They cut quite a lot from the LN, kayo was suppose to be more cynical and mature but they totally ruined it. I'm guessing they are trying to fit four novels into 12 episodes, but it is impossible for black bullet since in the original novel basically every scene have a very important purpose. Overall bad adaptation, they have one of the best LN ever written and they messed up, don't have your hopes too high people. |

| Action packed & a good ep. I'm loving this anime a lot now, it was fast pace im noticed a couple of scenes that just whaaaa, that quick? The monsters designed is pretty cool looking in the ep but one thing bother me the most is how rentaro back on his feet after just 1 day recovery of getting stab & shot maybe hes not a normal human i think. |

RuinsInTheWind said: Poor Kisara gets shafted AGAIN XD (she's missing SEVERAL scenes... (in the light novel when Rentaro wakes up, he sees how beautiful Kisara is when she was crying, and he asks "is this heaven?" "This is hell, you idiot Rentaro." (LOL) Rooftop scene cut. Seitenshi got cut a bit too :P... when the kids confront Enju, the scene should have been longer. Rentaro's past encounter with Sumire/Doctor was cut a LOT. (I know why they cut certain parts though, it'll be explained anyways). Rentaro should also have made a terminator reference when talking to the doctor (sumire is a western movie collector, when he say's ill be back in like possibly the worst imitation, Sumire LOSES HER SHIT XD) (should have been more emotional, Sumire lost her lover in the war, and lost her way for quite a while). When they are wandering the outer regions in the forest, you should be feeling a sense of dread, something unnaturally wrong with the forest (Gastrea have taken over the entire forest) It should feel alien, and insanity should have been setting in for our two heros. Yea, they cut quite a bit :P |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| damnit after i started to read the manga i knew it was gonna happen But they sure as hell are rushing this a lot of scenes got taken out matter of them explaining them later on i don't know little worried when i run out of chapters to read |
 |
| So far i really like the character developments in this show. The story is ok so far, I'm hoping it will get more interesting. So far seems like its been really fast paced. |
My Candies:     |
| I mostly dislike the fact that apparently nobody besides Rentaro feels that the cursed children are persons. Well, that one teacher probably. Regular people think of them as Gastrea, and the other initiators treat them as tools, as weapons. Unless severly indoctrinated, shouldn't kids that did not experience an Gastrea attack be more like "Gastrea, thats something bad, right? No way Enju has something to do with this, she's my best friend!" ? At least some... Either they get told a lot about Gastrea everyday by their teachers and parents etc., or they got a crash course on it once the teachers found out about Enju. And that there is no adult (except Rentaro and the teacher) that treats them either as person, or more abstract as "hope" or anything. Or even fear, but not because they may become Gastrea, but because they can kill you before you can say "Gastrea" even/especially as they are now. They didn't mention a single actual case of one of the cursed children to turn into Gastrea (though there probably were), and apparently even the kids that get bullied do not harm humans, as that wasn't mentioned either. The universal hate seems a bit far-fetched given this and that most people probably didn't see a live Gastrea in the last 10 years or so. |
| I think it is getting better as the season moves on. It is clearly based on great source material. I may have to pick up the manga. |
| Enju was amazing this episode! |
| Ehh, don't really wanna say this for the nth time, but this show's pace is too fast for its own good. A shame, because some of those scenes could have been pretty good if given enough time to be properly developed and played out, especially the drama regarding Enju. Rentarou surviving that beating was silly, though maybe he's not exactly human as the quick surgery flashback implies. I do like how the show opted for a "perma-dark" tone after the first episode, however, and I quite like the OST as well. All in all, if it slows the fuck down it has the potential to be pretty good. |
| good episode, i;m banking on the hope that there is a reason rentarou can take so many wounds, otherwise i'll be a bit disappointed |
| I think Rentarou had his organs or something transplanted with Varanium just like Hiroko (masked guy) has which explains his recovery, strength and why Hisoko is interested in him for some reason, maybe he gives out the same scent or aura. |
