I just watched Black Bullet, which was quite entertaining, I didn't think it would be like Gunslinger Girl. I hope that Shogen guy dies in the next episode, that's dreadful that he made Kayo do such a thing...I wonder if a Promoter can have more than one Initiator??

It's actually not as rushed as it seems. The anime is adapting material from the light novel and not the manga. The manga included scenes not originally in the light novel, and thus those were not adapted to the screen.

If you read Vol. 1 Chapter 3 of the light novel on Baka-Tsuki, you'll understand what I mean. Nevertheless, I do enjoy how the manga took some liberties with the source material.

I feel sad about the exclusion of the Terminator reference, but I like the anime adaptation of Black Bullet so far.

So glad they do not censor the blood in this show, makes it better! I feel bad for Enju, she's so sweet and she is referred to as a monster :(.

Here, right episode thread.

What was this? Too fast too fast too fast! Slow the f*** down, Black Bullet, you didn't even leave me the time to complain about how bland you were this week.

Nothing felt remotely genuine this episode : the supposedly emotional scenes felt super forced (the corny tearful violin in the background didn't help), the dialogs were hardly any better due to the overdose of cheesiness, and above all else...
Freaking MC did not die when he was killed!


Seriously, though.

Also, I didn't have the chance to say that before but... Kisara's boobs are weird.

What choice? What choice did he have
to make before the operation??? Was it
something important or just to decide
whether to go through the op or not??
So, that was an earlier one. hmmmm......
And Kagetane is a Gastrea summoner???
Why would he want to destroy the world?

Rentarou should have died. After that point... the rest of the episode was mostly nonsense to me... kind of hard to take anything seriously.

4/5

Yet another anime season hurrying a little too much plot, too bad.
Despite having no knowledge of the past, there are many references to things of which you know nothing because you have not read the novel.
This is a point in its favor, as far as the bet, but that does not mean that the narrative has mismanaged the facts. Of combat too short, not passionate about, but it makes the intriguing secrets of Rentarou. For the rest, the rest is not bad. Starting from the main characters until you get to the secondary. The attitude of Enju is now appropriate to the context, which before was not so bad, and entered the field also the girl named Kayo. I wonder if we ever meet again in the future.
Not a bad job of Kinema, designs which take quite well.

Holy crap they are rushing through the scenes/condensing the animation lol. Seems like they were short on time, even last week's ending wasn't officially done... Well, I'm still happy to watch this, but they are seriously cutting a lot of dialogue, moments felt a bit rushed. Still epic, but wish they'd slow down so they can explain things a bit more for people who don't read the manga/light novel.

I really wish this got 26 episodes, it has so much potential but it does feel pretty damn rushed.
More character development is always welcome, which is definitely missing now just like a a good backstory.

Edit:
And what happened to the girl they saved? Did she just disappear or what?
I would like less action and more story.

I Loved Enju's Attack on the Spider Gastrea, get rid of some rage from the BS Children. jeez doesn't matter how many time's you see that it still ticks you off with that kinda stuff. MC's "Death" didn't last too long, though i'm quite glad about that one.
Now everyone is going on this little operation won't lie though, it feels a tad rushed atm i was kinda hoping for a little more life in the city, don't want ALL action. Definitely would have liked to know what happened to the cursed child Rentarou saved.
And we meet back up with the Cursed child of the Bulky "they are just tools" Guy.

I'm expecting death next episode.

I think Rentarou may have Varanium in his body too. Maybe he just doesn't now it yet.

Great episode! After reading the comments here, I feel I must go read the LN. Obviously, there is stuff missing.

Enju's situation was really sad, she made so many friends that have now turned against her. I loved the Kisara/Rentaro moment, but (sighs) it was interrupted by an adorably, sleeping Enju (she was cute, I couldn't even get mad).

Next episodes should be actioned-packed; looking forward to it.

I'm echoing everyone here about this episode being hella rushed.
The last episode really caught my attention, but this one hardly had time to breath, making the stabbing scene impact less than intended.
Though, one good thing I can say is I don't even realize the episode was going to end until the last couple seconds since I lost track of time!

I knew the Masked phantom would show up right when they killed the thing. It was just too easy.

Enju and Rentarou really got a good relationship going on.

That blonde swordsman is a real scumbag to even kill another pair.

Nice episode but a bit too fast paced. This is probably going to be a problem that will remain throughout the whole show it seems.

I guess something worst might be happen to that Shougen guy, and his Inisiator might be in the Rentarou side later. In this episode, we know some level of Gastrea monster, which is somehow i feels very well designed and kinda unique. This episode revealing too, how Ren can survive until so much wounded. He had some kind of human artificial organ, made by Varanium like that Katagane psychopat guy, i guess. Welp, kinda curious about Patron, the professor said to Ren. And nice moment when Ren try to seduce that little girl Kajo Senju like that, in the end.

Interesting show.

I didn't expect her to come back to school after that like why did Enju even make that decision that's going to be truly disturbing to her

A gloomy episode for sure this time and I guess the comedic scenes are hardly going to get nerfed from now on I suppose but if it doesn't it's still enjoyable.
