Awesome episode. I got the feel of the first season back with the humor, action, and character interactions.

I think it was very easy to get into this sequel again especially if you've enjoyed the previous season. Zapp is still very fun to watch because of his personality while the rest of the main cast has their own roless that I found entertaining.

It didn't take long for this sequel to join into the action either. Leonardo seems to have gotten into some trouble again. Great start for this season.

I don't know how I feel about this. The opening is pure hype and I liked this episode but I'm not sure how much it follows the story.. if there is a story at all in this anime.. can't really remember much from the first season since it lacked memorable scenes and the plot was all over the place and on top of that the last episode was delayed a lot. Guess I'll stick around.. maybe this time it'll make sense. Oh and so far the change in staff isn't that noticeable but I guess we'll see some differences as the show progresses.

Nothing but fun here. Rie Matsumoto may not be directing this season, but I have to say I'm impressed with the first episode. Shigehito and the rest of the staff have done a fantastic job retaining Matsumoto's chaotic influence from S1. I'll be looking forward to more.

I enjoyed this episode, and the soundtrack was really awesome for sure. I guess the flow between shots were kinda hard to comprehend at times [even for a show as chaotic as this lol] but other than that it was a really cool first look at the new season! Does anyone know who is the episode [not series] director?

Side note; Leonardo has gone full Shinpachi this time around.

It's nice to see this crazy, over-the-top show make its return, and I love seeing all of these wacky, eccentric characters again, especially Zapp. This episode wasted no time jumping straight into the action, and Leonardo still can't catch a break as he deals with these unlucky situations. Him sharing the same VA as Shinpachi makes his reactions so much better, and I seriously can't imagine any other VA doing as good of a job. The show, judging from this single episode, seems like it has retained the first season's style, so that's nice to see given the staff changes. I thought things would be radically different, hopefully things stay this way for the rest of the season.

That hip hop OST at the beginning of the episode was on point. Also, the OP was pretty good. I could live without the Engrish lyrics but I still like the song. That's 2 fire OPs from Unison Square Garden in one season.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Man it just feels sooo good to have BBB back. Missed all these characters so much.

Was pretty funny having Leonardo fall from the skies at the beginning, with those cute but deadly little monsters in those head jar thing. Also R.I.P Leo's X Station, now he'll have to wait to play the latest Hard Dive 4.

It was nice that everyone gets a little bit of screen time to kick ass while Leo makes his delivery. Very strong first episode and I cant wait for the next one.

Yaaay, it's back. I quite enjoyed the first season and this season feels just like the previous one.

The familiarity is awesome. Hellsalem's Lot is still as chaotic as ever with Leonardo getting into trouble and the Gang(Libra) having to save him. Klaus, A, KK and Renfro are still as cool as ever.

Nice to see the new staff's love for previous season. They even put White as cameo in OP and that throwback at White & Black's arc at the end of episode really tears me up.

The action at the beginning was so dooopeee!!! As expected of the ace of BONES, Yutaka Nakamura!

Although it feels different without Rie's touch, the new series is taking into good direction. And I have a feeling that they will use Michella's role to tie up the overall story this time (just like how Rie use White & Black).

Again...I love Kekkai Sensen so much...the wackiness, visual, music, voice acting, all of them are good.

Ah there couldn't be a better thing to wake up to before a 9 hour Sunday shift then the banging beats and crazy world of Kekkai Sensen

I'm a little disappointed there is no Bump of Chicken but hell the DAOKO x Yasuyuki Okamura ED is easily on the same danceable level as Sugar Song to Bitter Step for S1 ED. For a series like this it's all hella good fun

So happy this is back! And what a start that was, chaotic, messed up, bloody and full of awesomeness.
Before starting this show I was never a fan of monster/alien stuff, however the characters, story and battle scenses got me hooked on this great anime.
Something tells me that this season the focus will be on the little sister, looking forward to how things will unfold.

Holy shit, the series sure started strong. With that epic battle against Femt's monsters, reintroducing all the characters again. How much I missed them. The sakga was spectacular, just as expected from Bones.
Too bad Leo's X-Station went to shit just when he was prepared to play it. The biggest tragedy this episode.

Opening wasn't as good as previous one (then again, the previous one was very good), and about the ending, well, I didn't managed to hear much. Hopefully, it will be good.

Also, did anyone noticed the Trigun's cameos?

Yeah, the overly-long exposition from the first episode of first season does not make a comeback here. Which is a nice change.

That's exactly what BBB is all about, in a good way. It's the execution that made it work. Though I would agree that sometimes it lacks in term of meaningful story, but that's not what made BBB great. It's the polished craziness that made it great. It's like asking a comedy anime for an impactful character's death, which is weird.

Episode was amazing, the visuals, soundtrack and the fights omfg. The animation in the beginning was godlike, Nakumura is a beats.

And WHITE! ;_;. Fills me with joy the new director didnt abandon her or pretend she didnt exist since shes ao. Hopefully her apperance in the OP leads to something, thank god.

10/10 episode easily AOTS along with Mahoutsukai no Yome, welcome back Kekkai Sensen.

For me its more like continuation of episode 10. The last two episode were really meh and forgettable so I will assume those two twin Black & White are actually good for dead.

Whatever, this first episode was totally amusing! Comedy felt even more than the first season and glad to see that we got see every good guy on the screen(in a most funny way). It was quite enjoyable ride indeed! There was no boring moments at all!

Glad to see this show is back. This was an action-packed first episode. It was awesome. The mission to bring back the president's head was funny to watch. Poor Leonardo couldn't catch a break. The first season was good, so let's see how this season is going to be.

Epic episode. Was hilarious like season 1 and action packed too. The soundtrack was awesome too. At first I was sad bump of a chicken(still sad as Hello World was awesome) wasn't doing the op again, but the op was acc good. I also liked the ED song(if that was it)

Sugar Song to Bitter Step is really hard to top and I feel that this season ED can not do it.

Anyway this is divine retribution(if there is any divine being here at all) for Leo that he chose to buy X-Station than give the money for Michaella.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Yayy, it's back.

As crazy as the first season, if not crazier. Leo's also a lot more loud than I remember?
Wonder what the overarching plot for this season's gonna be. From the looks of the OP along with his sister this episode, I'll just assume that it'll somehow involve her?

Anywho, excited to see more from the anime once again. Even though she's gone, it was also nice to see a cameo of White.
