Synopsis

In the year 2021, a parasitic virus known as "Gastrea" infects humans and turns them into monsters. What is left of mankind now lives within the Monolith walls, walls that are made of Varanium, the only material that can hurt Gastrea.

To counter the threat that the Gastrea pose, "Cursed Children"—female children whose bodies contain trace amounts of the virus which grant them superhuman abilities—officially called Initiators by the Tendo Civil Security, are given partners called Promoters, people who work to guide and protect the young Initiators. These teams of two are sent out on missions to fight the monsters created by the Gastrea virus and keep them at bay.

Black Bullet revolves around the team of Enju Aihara, an Initiator, and Satomi Rentaro, a Promoter, as they go on missions to fight the growing threat of Gastrea in their hometown of Tokyo.

Honestly, I was waiting for something more serious from the title. In terms of the fact that I did not expect to see some kind of fanservice at all, that 10-year-olds would dry up on our gg and try almost to have children from him, however, not only 10-year-olds.
The characters are not of particular interest, except for one. Kagetane Hiruko came to me personally. He is one of those antagonists in the first 3 episodes. His style.. and the tricks are just a bomb😘
The plot is neither good nor bad, it seems like they provided everything they needed: A problem of universal scale, saviors, and ...

Black Bullet fails to retain the momentum from the beginning of the series to the end. The first three episodes are pretty well done, giving characters time to breathe and establish themselves. This however does not last. By the end of the series characters are pushed on the viewer so quickly it is difficult to even remember their names before they bite the bullet. The overall animation is pretty average and the cgi is not awful. The plot is not particularly deep or interesting. With the source of this anime never being completed there is little reason to invest ...
