| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, that freaking escalated. The fights were okay I guess, not something I would call a masterpiece but whatever. Damn poor Senju... She won't be around the show with that. Poor girl. RIP. |
 |
| From the last episode I already expected the girl to die soon, and the start of the episode further confirmed my thoughts. Death flag activated... I was surprised that Rentaro was suddenly revealed that he has Varanium body parts. Why on earth didn't he utilise them in his first battle, lol. Can't believe the OP boss just died so quickly like that. Was a great fight scene though. While it was interesting when they focused on Rentaro's mental state as he is forced to shoot the Level 5 Gastrea, I have to say its not entirely in line with his character, he seems so out of character there. After watching with english subs the political situation still does not seem entirely clear to me, and I'm really hazy on that aspect. |

| So main guy has a fake arm and leg, and was part of the project that the mask man was involved. Even though he won, it's too late. They need to stop it. Both that girl and that tall man with the mask pair died. Old little bike = the source of the monster to be active? Did he lie about the girl partner's body condition?

| They cut out so much important plot point, action scenes and emotional points that I can't even recognize it anymore. This is officially the worst LN adaptation ever, I hope the tv group is happy cause I'm not. They even switched to another ending theme so clearly they didn't lack funds, so the only conclusion is that they have no idea what they are doing. |

| Episode was pretty okay, there is absolutely no downtime in this show. I really like the OST though. |

| Rentarou was a badass in this episode. Sad that Senju died though :(. |
| Dammit! 1) the genaral plot is pretty awesome 2) the characters and their adaption to the story is really good! Plus, their expression of feelings is awesome too 3) the OST is awesome Why was this such a mediocre episode? The plot was far from ok, the Gastrea shooting was HILARIOUS and why the hell is he naming his NORMAL attacks? such a long name for each attack -.- |
 |
| Well, that escalated quickly. We get to see the main hero turn out to be the freaking terminator, the OP villain suddenly lose his cool and "loses" to him, we get to see the worlds strongest Falcon Punch destroy a level 5 Gastrea, and we get to see the main hero shoot a loli in the face... for a freaking tricycle. |
 |
| So Rentarou lied to her about that corrosion exam. Sad that Kayo had to die. |
 |
| That was some godly OST from Shiro Sagisu. |

| Stupid anime producers don't realise that rushing through anime isn't going to rush through their sales upwards. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| -Damn I thought I was watching a battle shounen. Such cheesy ass dialogue. -Sad that Rentaro had to finish off Senju -Looks like Enju's shelf life is dwindling, but Rentaro lied to her. I wonder if they will find a way to reverse the corrosion. -nice insert song by Nagi once again |
| okay episode.. i guess |
| follow me on tumblr @ http://x-hentai.tumblr.com/ |
| Uhh. This is too rushed. The glorified villain Kagetane's fight vs. Rentaro has been rushed... Rentaro was on the verge of death before using those Gastrea injections. Also, wish they were able to have shown the backstory of Rentaro more in the previous episode than just a glimpse and summarizing his past by Kisara. Heck, we didn't even see Enju vs. Kohina fighting it out. The pacing is planned so poorly. >.< Also, the inside of the box is a kid's bicycle? Facepalm. Hopefully the explanation for that in the future will have a lot of sense. Really had high hopes for this, now it is ruined by bad pacing. |

| I won't compare to the LN/manga because if I do then it'll be a F***n HUGE ASS WALL OF TEXT FULL OF RANTS!! How can someone just skip through all that material and emotional build up in one ep, they friggin finished the fight in less than half the ep >.<!!!!! GODDAMNIT!!! As an anime only ep...Although it felt friggin rushed and some asspulls (Making his hand a shell O_o? XD) Friggin loved the animation and OST! So good! Loved the animation of the Cannon! It looked pretty damn amazing! Kagetane's defeat felt too easy here -.- and they made Rentaro seem to OP. But Dat Hallelujah XDXDXD Poor Kohina :*( And Damn! Such a touching moment with Kayo. Best loli :*( I loved that girl <3 Telling the person who's gonna kill u in a few seconds "I'll be ur friend" T^T And WTF?! That case had a kids cycle??? Why does that give me messed up vibes. I feel like the secret to these Gastrea is one screwed up truth >_> So the goal is to rank up now. But damn!! Why u lie Rentarou!!! 43% corrosion O_O! Poor Enju T_T |
 |
| Well that escalated quickly . loved the soundtrack in this episode made everything so suspense and exciting. Kagatane just died? i tought he was the main villian with all of those power, if was not the main villian than who is ? i hate the fact that poor girl had to die but at least she died with her humanity intact and was great full to Rentaro for recognizing that. i can't believe that old guy was willing to risk every bodies life and destroy the whole tokyo are for revenge what an idiot. a tricycle to summon a stage 5 Gastrea this more evidence to my theory that the stage 5 Gastrea are the result of those girls that got infected turn into those things if they let there mutation cycle complete. |
| Quite liked it, but there's so much going on in one episode. The old dude is the culprit and he let him live ? |
| Poor Shogen, adaptation raped him. He was the one who found and brought Rentaro after he was stabed in last episode. |
 |
| I'm really liking this series, but even though not having read the manga of this i can tell it is rushed and it makes me a little sad. Its great now, but i think it could have been even better, what could have been :< |
 |
| The fight with Kagetane was so much more epic and intense in the manga, they cut out a lot of stuff here. Too bad, really... I'm assuming these 4 episodes covered the first volume of the LN, right? |
| I like that a show isn't dragging on for once but that was a bit too much. All the emotional impact is lost in the rush... It could've been great but it's not. |

| What the was the studio thinking, this is way to rushed! It was such great source material too. |
| A horrible adaption of an already not that good LN. Cheesy lines everywhere and a MC with stupid morals... I'd rather just drop it but for the time being I'll continue watching... no idea what I'm expecting though. But that tricycle.. If what I'm thinking is correct then that is pretty fucking disgusting. |
| It took 1 episode to turn one of my favourites this season into something sub-par. Disappointing. |
| All the hype I had before watching Black Bullet transformed into sheer disappointment just like that *POOF* !! I'm gonna keep watching because I want to know where this will go but I'm not expecting anything anymore. Once this anime ends I'm going to read tha manga and LN again. F**king Kadokawa... |
 |
| Come back again in another 10 years for a remake people -.- I'll go cry in a corner for now T_T |
|
| Judging by the somewhat mass disappointment, Looks Like I'll have to go to the LN from here. I'm not dropping it, but something tells me the original work will be more satisfying looking at the above posts. The fight went by pretty fast, the Gastrea wasn't really that much of a threat, and some of the dialogue was corny and not in a good way. I'm still enjoying it though, since I haven't experienced the LN first hand. 3/5 |

| Masked Man dies already? He was like the strongest character thus far until Rentaro showed his true form, then he went Beast Mode. Poor Senju, she fights an entire forest army of Level 1-4 Gastreas. Satomi rips off his Varunium arm and uses it as a shell to kill the Lv 5 Gastrea. I'm wondering just what are those Gastreas and why was there a small bike in the case. Does the whole Gastrea have to do with emotions?1 Enju's Corrosion Rate 24% or or so. Is that bad? Also what's with that computer scene showing Enju's corrosion rate in the 40's just before the ending song plays? So cute when Enju and Satomi walk together with both holding hands. |

Asheroth said: I haven't read the light novel, but the manga. They covered FIVE CHAPTERS (about 180 PAGES) in the first SIX MINUTES (excluding the opening). It's like they are actively trying to avoid any sort of tension. I agree, dunno what the studio was thinking but they rush it to much and destroy it by skipping out on major emotional impacts. It would be so much better if they didn't rush so much and gave us story. That tricycle tho... I wonder what it represent... I hope the next episode will be better, because this series deserve so much more. It has a great story and had great material to work with. |
| Wow yeah, that was kind of terrible. Story flow is choppy, and emotional scenes didn't feel emotional because there was 1) no time to 2) bad execution overall. I haven't ever really wanted to read a LN after watching an anime adaptation of it, but this is probably the first time that I actually want to, Or I guess I could just patiently wait for the manga chapters to be translated. Still, it was sad to see that very last part...Enju :( and also that tricycle. Of all the things to expect, that was not what I had in mind when it came to the content in the case. |
| Holy fuck that was bad |

| Just to make sure everyone knows, the actual fight in the LN and the manga took a frigging long time and resulted in Kagetane running away, and he would show up again later on. The anime made it look like an asspull while in the LN and manga they showed that Rentaro was beaten to an inch of his life and would have died if not for the AGV drugs. The anime made Kagetane look lame while in the source and manga he was holding his own quite well. Once again, bad adaptation so please don't blame the source. |

| This episode should be splitted in two episodes... Pacing aside, all the scenes in this episode feel... err... bland? |
| Sorry for my bad English.... |
| Hmm he lied about Enju's corrosion rate... I gotta admit that the fight was over too fast, they could have had more, same with that giant level 5 gastrea which got killed in matter of seconds. |
| I need something else to do on tuesdays ;( |
