Black Bullet

There is no such thing as a harem or lolis or whatnot in this anime. If you really think it that way you have a problem with the analysis function of your brain.

I will keep it short. Plot in this show is not unique. However it is OK to use it. Story in this anime is terrible. There is no real storyline so this ends up with confusing characters and actions. With a really good storyline that lasts 13 or even maybe 25 eps this could've been really really good.

The strongest point of this show is the awesome moments you get to see a lot. ... With the help of the beautiful OSTs those moments capture viewers heart. There were moments which made me cry in tears as well as scenes with badass action. Those moments alone are enough to make this show enjoyable which in my opinion is the most important thing for a work of fiction. Also in a few occasion it made me think deeply.

Overall a well wasted plot with a lot of great moments and ridicuolous stroyline. With a good storyline and a good MC who is not way too hesitant (this is a common problem with most anime tho), this show could've been great.

Black Bullet was a short (for how much it engaged me) enthralling affair. In terms of story it was told in a very different way than usual. It concentrates on certain small interactions which, when seen holistically, are quite well put while using plot twists and big reveals (though a bit predictable) as anchors to show its progression. Seen in how the story is about Humans vs creatures called Gastrea, and yet most of the anime centers on the human aspect and their interactions more. This will not of course go well with everyone as it sometimes seems a bit disjointed and rushed, as though ... they are skipping some potentially epic points, though I can forgive this as Black bullet proves that the journey truly is better than the destination at times.

In terms of Art and sound I would say they did not bore me because i know nothing about appreciating such, i usually just watch for story and characters.

In terms of the characters I found that they were all well written and they machined well together, a little too well?, that's for you to decide. Each character has some trait that makes them interesting and seem to all have so much potential to entertain.Those characters who are highlighted have interesting stories such as Aihara Enju, whose growth and journey throughout the anime was so diverse and compelling that she felt like my own little sister, the only issue I had was that the time frame given to explore them is very limited and leaves one thirsting for more, and that is a good thing at least in as much as one wants more of something they like, though it is frustrating for obvious reasons. Hopefully there is a second season coming.

Overall, Black Bullet gave me many moments that left me amazed and left the impression of a solid entertaining anime, though looking at the bigger picture it may seem lacking. The good thing is that it is so strong in those small moments (which are numerous) that the bigger picture does not seem all that bad. It made me feel like it was making a promise or like it was a very beautiful dew drop about to fall of a very beautiful tree without actually seeing the fall. I can't see the whole tree or the other drops and yet it was satisfying to see.

To start, Black Bullet is NOT a loli-harem. Contrary to a lot of other reviews, this series didn't have a single sexual scene, and there was only one truly suggestive joke throughout the whole thing, in which the main character was absolutely horrified at the idea. There is nothing wrong with having a lot of younger characters, and I actually thought it was exciting and new. They acted like real little girls; they had adorable personalities, childish ambitions (like wanting to grow up to marry a person they admire and look up to), and reacted they way most children truly would if put into some ... of the situations they did.

It was not, in any way, a harem. Harem anime have girls throwing themselves at the main character, constantly trying to seduce him, and usually lots of panty shots and boob jokes. This anime had absolutely none of that, these characters wanted nothing sexual at all.

The main character truly loved some of the younger characters, but in a purely family oriented "older-brother" way.

Story: 7/10
Okay now that that's out of the way, on to the story. I thought it was great. It might be a little cliche, but they made it work. I think one of the biggest problems in Sci-Fi shows like this one is that nothing is ever very "scientific", or based on any evidence from the story's universe. But in this show, most everything about the virus was really well explained, or at least had some sort of theory behind it. And if it wasn't, it was something the characters (or the society itself) was investigating. Personally, I think that's what makes shows like this. I love the theories and thought put into each scenario.

They did a great job of not being too repetitive and having the exact same problem re-occur again and again, but also kept a balance from things being too ironic. I dislike when one thing is solved, but then another completely random problem just so happens to start up immediately afterward, and then again, ect. ect. It was decently paced, for an anime with a ton of potential packed into just 13 episodes. Keeping that time frame in mind, it was a pretty unpredictable show. Even though it was moving pretty quickly, you still couldn't really tell who would die next or whether their plan would actually work.

And as always, I appreciate an anime that's not afraid to actually kill characters, rather than have them narrowly escape death time and time again.

Art: 8/9
The art in this show wasn't anything flashy, but I greatly appreciate a nice, simple style. The art they used fit nicely with the used CG for all the Gastrea, as well.

The animation was good. Like the art, it's not anything to rave about, but the fight scenes definitely looked pretty cool, and the characters had great body language. Especially Enju, she looked like such a child when she ran around or got upset, and it really helped build her character.

Sound: 8/10
A lot of people say the OP sounds a lot like the OP from Attack on Titan, and having not watched that anime I can't really argue in any direction. But I will say I really liked the music used throughout the entire series, and the OP will definitely be going into my iTunes.

The voice acting was great. I felt like the voices really suited the characters. None of them had annoying voices, which is a problem you tend to run into a lot in anime. However, I think the best part about it was that you could really hear the emotions in the voices. Some of the tear jerking scenes really hit you hard, they did such a good job making the voices sound so realistic to the situations. Especially Enju's screams/crying.

Character: 8/10
Along with their voices, these characters were so great! They really fit into the story, and their designs were super nice. All the little girls were so cute, and even the ones that were just in the backgrounds had really unique designs. You could tell thought was put into even the random background characters, and I thought that was pretty cool.

Black Bullet also didn't follow the typical personality tropes. The characters had pretty distinct personalities that didn't fall under "cookie-cutter" categories.

As rare as it is, almost all of the characters in this show, including the villains actually, were pretty likable. I love love Enju. She was so cute, and unlike a lot of shows with younger characters, she truly acted her age. Rentarou was great as well. It is so refreshing to watch an anime where the main male character isn't a whiny baby that yells a lot when he accidentally touches boobs (all. the. time.) and can't keep his emotions together in a battle. Rentarou was a strong, kind, and determined male protagonist, and I loved him.

Character development was really the only weak point in the characters. But I can't really blame them, it's hard to smoothly transition a character in only 13 episodes. Honestly, if they had tried much harder it probably would have come off really forced. Here's to hoping for a second season so we can really see those characters changing!

Enjoyment: 9/10
I really did enjoy this show. It kept you wanting to know what happened next. I don't know what else to say here honestly... I definitely would recommend it!

Overall: 8/10

This anime does indeed fit the Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi and Seinen genres I think it needs to be added to some sort of comedy and loli tags. There are some funny moments as well as sad ones in this anime but the loli moments are in pretty much every episode. Not to give too much away but the amount of cursed children throwing themselves at Satomi and wanting to marry him is a bit too much to not be a loli anime. I would also say it is very anti-climatic. There is always a build up towards Satomi's battle yet it seems to be over ... within a very short period of time and whatever he is fighting goes down in one hit.
I have spoken rather negatively of Black Bullet but that is just me being critical, after all I am writing a review, but overall this is a highly enjoyable anime. The comedy moments are frequent enough and you always get a new reason to support the hero's. I dare say it is the best anime ever but I feel it is quite good and holds it's own

This will actually be my first review and since I'm a little short on time, I won't be following the usual format.

Black Bullet is one of those animes that you will either love or hate. I've read reviews which describe how mediocre the characters are and how cliche the plot and set-up is. True enough, you have the overpowered MC that every main girl has a crush on and he is thrown into situations wherein he's forced into being a hero (Kirito anyone?). However I'll argue that despite all this, the show is still pretty entertaining and delivers interesting content from time to time that ... can keep you curious about what will happen next. I admit that the first few episodes could have been done better and the fight scenes as well, but the latter parts were good (in my opinion at least). The problem is that the show was trying to be everything at once (cute, serious, funny, gory, etc.) so I couldn't figure out where they were going with it at first. Still, as I've said the show delivered some interesting content towards the end (no particulars to avoid spoilers). There are the usual questions like who to fight for?, what does it take to destroy the monsters? (do you become a monster yourself in the process) and who the real enemy is? (not quite as good as Shingeki, but it's still there). I also liked how the fear and despair of the people and the characters are depicted and how it twists their perceptions on what is right.

Overall, I can say that the show is still enjoyable despite its faults. I'm looking forward to season 2 and I hope the show improves on its current faults and weaknesses.

I found Black Bullet very enjoyable. I enjoyed the story and thought it was very different from other anime's I've seen. I felt that the art and visuals were really pleasing to the eyes. Very bright but also dark enough to fit the story. I really like the music and opening/ending. fripside does a very good job with music they use for the anime's they're in. Along with Yanagi Nagim her voice fits dark shows and light shows. It worked well with the darkness of the show. Rentarou as a character I really enjoyed. Though the younger girls were somewhat typical for this type of ... anime. I enjoyed the character development with Kisara though. One of the things I liked most is that there wasn't an overpowering amount of fanservice. I feel like if there was more I wouldn't have like the show as much. I like the show more then other people probably would have but the fight scenes were great to me, and I loved the main characters and the story behind the girls. I recommend this for sure tor anyone who likes action shows.

I hate bugs. And I think a lot of you share my hatred. Now imagine a world where you have bugs that are three, four or even five times bigger than you. Would you dare to fight them? Well in the world of this anime, you have no choice but to fight. Today's anime review a on MAL 7,51 rated show called BLACK BULLET.

Plot and Storyline
I would probably freak out in a world like this. In the near future a viral parasites named Gastrea broke out and defeated the mankind. Gatreas are basically bug-like monsters that kill people. But the biggest problem about them is ... that they can turn people into monsters when they infect them with the virus. Still, the virus can effect the people in another way. Imagine what happens when a pregnant woman is infected. Well, her child, and always a girl, turns into a "cursed child", being just a human but with special powers. The government uses those children to fight Gastrea together with Civil officers and always in pairs. One of the pairs are also the protagonist of our story. Enju and Rentarou became partners a year ago and have been close to each other since that day. Their strength was about to be proven after they were assigned to their most important and dangerous mission. The prevention of destruction of their hometown, Tokyo.
The, let's say, main story was nicely done. A smooth development, no stupid adds and no plot holes. It was very interesting to watch and it definitely made me more and more curious with each episode. Still, I have one reproach. There is a side story in this anime which appeared somewhere in the middle and in the end. That "side story" was actually just an enormous plot hole. To be honest I didn't even understand what it was all about. It seemed so important but was bumped into half of an episode. The story could have lived even without it and I found it more confusing rather than interesting.
I felt like the story kinda carried a transparent layer of something we face everyday. It shows how society usually deals with the part of population that sticks out for a certain reason. Even though they might help and contribute to the society, people often abandon them because they are scared of changes. Even though the Gastrea-girls can help and even save society, there are still persons who hate and discriminate them.
An interesting and catchy story that can help you to overcome boredom anytime a day.

Characters
The characters in this anime are not that special, or rather not special at all. I mean it is a 13 episoded anime, and as expected it is too short for some awesome character developments. Still I liked one of the mains just because she was awesomely cute and that's it. This time the two mains:
AIHARA ENJU is one of the cutest anime characters I've ever seen. She is always so optimistic and caring, yet determine and persistent. Enju is a strong ten-year-old and I am sure that she would have grow into a great character later on. Her main goal in the series, how I thought, was just a place she could belonged to.
SATOMI RENTAROU is a...normal character. There is nothing much to talk about him. He is nice and caring and very strong because of his "metal"(or whatever that material is) arm and leg. He is also very brave and self-sacrificing. The moment I liked him the most is when he realized that he might have become a cold-blooded killer and became scared of that thought.

Animation

Impressive. That's the word that describes the animation of this anime show. The monsters are nicely designed, not too much, not boring but special. The animation shone the most in the action scenes and I found it very enjoyable to watch.

Conclusion
This is an action, Sci-Fi anime that is perfect for a lazy Sunday. Thirteen episodes are really enough to tell this kind of story. Funny moments made it even more amusing and the step-by-step developing story and a couple of little plot-twists fit in perfectly with the main plot. It is not one of the best anime I have watched so far but it is kinda cute and interesting so give it a try. I would rate it as a 7,67 soo...good enough.

Your AnimeGirl

black bullet also known as little girl murder the show is good now the story itself is stupid and so rushed it looks like a Moe girl sprinting to school with toast in her mouth only to bump into Mr spiky hair main character number 117 how ever i found the general setting to be a refreshing take on the caged humanity setting the art it self is good and refreshing although not revolutionary now i am going to sound absolutely crazy but i found characters both the best and worst part of the show the main character the two little ten year ... old lolis and the local tundere and the awesome crazy farther and daughter are the only well written characters everyone else was poorly written and hard to rember and to the shows credit they gave the mc ptsd and had him breakdown crying over the fact that they were not so memorable like that is how it was meant to be now for me the main character breaking down like a little tiny bitch basically saved it and the sound the sound was the best part haveing a gun sound different be cause of the BLACK BULLETS was a nice little thing they ended as well as a great sound track made by shiro sagisu who has worked on stuff like bezerk and neon genesis but hey who cares about all that stupid crap the real question is was it enjoyable should i watch it the answer is yes give it a shot

Just started watching the show, and this is my first review. I think this whole post apocalyptic/ dystopias are becoming increasingly popular this year in western and anime world. I think the concept is interesting however,is it just me or is the story feeling very rushed at times? I feel like i've missed certain parts of the plot somewhere along the line. just wanted to know if anyone felt that way too.

Black Bullet, an anime aired in Spring 2014, is an adaptation from a light novel. At first glance, it looked to me quite promising, or at least worth watching.

Story 6/10: A classic scenario, humanity against aliens, is forced to fight and defend itself. Walls are erected around their territory in order to protect them from Gastreas, the name given to these aliens. This scenario basically reminds somehow of the popular Shingeki No Kyojin. However, the survival aspect of this apocalyptic show is not really present.

Art 8/10 - Sound 7/10: The art is great. I am quite picky when it comes to the art of ... an anime, and I cannot watch anything without good graphics, decent animation, and good soundtracks, even if the story is exceptionnal. This show met my requirements art-wise, even if the opening will (also?) reminds you of the one from Shingeki No Kyojin.

Character 6/10: There is different type of characters in this show. There is the loli girl category, who are also the last hope of humanity, since they can display extraterrestrial strength. There is the protagonist, Satomi Rentarou. Quite a stereotype, pretty blend, and pretty similar to Kirito from Sword Art Online. He is also quite the strong type of guy, even if he does not look that invincible. And then, the characters who should have been more on screen maybe, the bad guys. Especially Hiruko Kagetane actually, a mysterious character, who is unfortunately still left in his secrets by the end of the show.
I cannot say that these characters is a great team, and that is definitely not the strong point of this anime, but they do their job, which should be enough if you are only looking for some entertainment.

Enjoyment 8/10: Now, I hqve said several times that this show reminds of SnK. BUT this show is not SnK. Loli scenes are here to prove it. Good thing? Well, this actually depends on you. But one thing is certain, the fights are really enjoyable. Great variety of fights, everything is used, being snipers, bombs, cameras, as well as the battleground itself.

In the end, was that show a good show to watch? Well, by the end of the show, we are a bit left wanting for more, 13 episodes feel too short. In 24, characters could have developed a better personality, and the show could have started rolling for real. Despite all these flaws, I enjoyed this show a lot, and I didn't feel like I wasted my time. So this show is probably not a state of the art, but if you are looking for a show without any pretention, then Black Bullet will provide you a good entertainment.

Quite awesome! Though not super mind-blowing in terms of action and plot, it is certainly worth watching. What I like most about this one is two particular qualities. First, I like the relationship between the characters. You have the two member fighting team of the protagonist, a 17ish year old boy who has seen some pain but is headstrong and his sidekick, a superhuman 10 year old who is perky and quirky and loves teasing the main character about them getting married someday. They keep each other grounded very well, the boy being the stern older brother who needs cheering up and the girl who ... needs a leash for her superhuman power and someone to look after her. Second, I love the tragedy of the show. It's a tear-jerker for certain and so far only a few anime have drawn me to tears, Clannad Afterstory and Angel Beats included. As the show progresses you see loss, struggle, and despair among some very likable characters. This show, however, falls short in terms of action and plot that stands out like Attack on Titan and Cowboy Bebop. This show is great for a good case of the feels though, which is why I recommend it.

I feel like Black Bullet needed more time. That's the most crucial thing about some shows that are bordering between decent and good. Sometimes, there's just more time necessary to finally flesh out all the characters and plot.
Black Bullet is fairly fast paced. Thirteen episodes, the plot develops acceptably reasonably, there's not too many deus ex machina moments that make you go "Which hole did that plot-device come from?" Although there are many moments that I feel like should have been completely taken out or required more explanation. Take for example, the ending of episode four. I was thinking about that for a good couple ... of hours, yet I got no closure on what happens, because it's never brought up again.
Anyways, I rate on enjoyment. On the wonderful rainbow scale of enjoyment, I gave Black Bullet an 8. Quick synopsis.
Story: Fair (6)
Post-apocalyptic, sci-fi. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, all that keeps them alive are gigantic monoliths of Varanium, which repel the Gastrea. Gastrea are (typically insectoid) monsters that can infect humans but mostly just butcher them into horrifying piles of blood, corpse, or just eat them. The combination of zombies, insects, parasites, vampires, and something that regenerates extremely fast.
Art: Very Good (8)
I don't know, I'm not critical about art. It was nice, I recognize the characters. Very gory, too.
Sound: Good (7)
Epic battle themes, epic opening, melancholy ending. Fits the show.
Character: Good (7)
Got your typical characters, makes for a full house. Tsundere, yandere, plenty of lolis, and a kickass protagonist. Personally I do not think of any of them as basic or generic, because I do deem them to have unique flairs, if not an insane amount.
Enjoyment: Very good (8)
Short series, about 3-4 days if you're casual watcher. Enjoyable at the least, unless you're a technical detail nazi who checks for everything and hates everything.
Overall: Good (7)
Fix a bit of plot holes (Smashes holes into immortal snail mutants, crushes walls, jumps across roofs, cant break through the grip of two generic thugs) and plot twists that have nothing to do (episode four I'm looking at you) with the plot. More episodes are needed, the story is underdeveloped and a lot of scenes from the ending are completely unseen in the actual story.

The first 2 or 3 episodes of this anime really got me into it. It had action and was someone intense enough to get me hooked. But then it all went downhill from there. The pace became significantly slow than when it started out and going to ward the end, the pace only went up back by a little. The character buildup and trying to make me feel sad for what's going on wasn't executed well. I had heard there were some tearjerker scenes but I didn't feel sad not even once. Not even close to crying.

I did enjoy it to an extent that ... I could say it was good, but nothing more. Usually when an anime is very good to me, I end up binge watching all the way through. For this anime I couldn't I had to to take break periods during the mid section of it where it became ridiculously slow, and tried to be "meaningful". The action and art was nice though, and I liked the ending theme.

When it came to the characters, I could have seen a lot of potential from that masked guy. Every time he was in an episode, it got me interested for sure. I guess that's the way the story was written, to have that large section of slowness. Seeing as how this was adapted from a Light Novel series of the same name.

I wouldn't watch this anime again. It was good. But nothing more.

Okay, okay.
Let's review the story:
A virus almost killed all the humans and gave power to others, this is the case of the some girls.
The main charater has a tragic past and now he has to save everyone.

At first seen the story is not very original, another apocalyptical story.
However there were some aspects in it that I really liked, for example the discrimination to the special girls and how they felt about it, there was a point that I really felt bad for them.

The art was Standart, nothing so amazing, but nothing so dissapoiting.

I liked the music, but was an OST that probably I'm going to ... forget.

The character were interesting enough to catch me, specially Shouma and Enju, even the main character.

I enjoyed it, however the final wasn't my total satisfaction.

Do I recomend it?
Yes, why not?
But it didn't meet my expectations.

Check out the video review here: https://youtu.be/wf_Mk6N6Iq4

In 2011 Japanese Author, Shiden Kanzaki wrote a manga that to me is one of the best stories to date. Do you know which one I'm refering to? Come on.. you know. Ok, I'll give you a hint, kick ass little girls. I'm Talking about Black Bullet. This series is one that remains on my "re-watch" list, constantly, and no.. not because of the kick ass little girls, or the Hot katana wielding chick Kisara. But because of the endless emotional rollorcoaster and lessons that the story relays, and i would be lying out right if i said i ... did not shed a tear at all while watching this series.
_________________
The year is 2021 and mankind is facing a war against an awful epidemic called gastrea that has the power to mutate it's victoms on contact. Our Main protagonist Rentaro Satomi and his adorable twin-tailed side kick Enju Aihara are part of a Special Security team that specializes in extinguishing the gastrea. Enju is Known as a cursed child, The cursed children, are children who were effected by the epidemic at birth, but not to the point of mutation. They also are able to fight off gastrea due to the genes from the epidemic allowing them special abilities, some are teamed up with officers as partners or as the series has it, Initiators.

However the rest of society shuns them and blames them for their losses, even goes as far as trying to kill one of them off out of fear, even though these children are the key to saving humanity. Which is sad, because the lost children are human, and are just trying to be accepted as people, and co-exist. I won't go any further into it than that, but I do believe this series teaches us the importance of not being prejudice, and not to judge or forsake others just because they are a little different. It also teaches us the importance of being human, and to not let ourselves grow accustom to the losses of others.

A truly beautiful, yet emotional story. I give it a solid 10 marking. It's got some really good action, and fantastic writing.

When this first came out, it was actually a show I glanced over. Then I came back to watch it lately.

Going over each criteria one by one --

Story: This show has a fairly simple premise. It's similar to Muv Luv, God Eater and Attack on Titans in that it's humans fighting for the survival of humanity against some end-of-the-world science fiction or fantasy threat. Replace the Beta of Muv Luv, or the Aragami of God Eaters or the Titans in Attack on Titans with Gastrea and you have Black Bullet. It's not post apocalyptic per se, however. This show also tries to explore the concept ... of racism a bit, albeit only partially successful in its attempt.

Characters: Almost all memorable characters in this show has backgrounds that explain their stance or decision to do Heel-Face Turns. The most important characters also have some degree of development, but unfortunately it's not anything too major. Kisara's development towards the end however was not so enjoyable. It also feels as if there was more that could have been done for this story's characters but due to the 13 episode time limit, it comes to an abrupt halt as the anime ends.

Art: Excellent art and use of colors. Definitely appears polished in animation style and remains modern looking even in 2017. Beautiful backgrounds as well.

Sound: Excellent OP theme by fripSide. Most of the time, I skip the opening theme but for this show I actually go out of my way to watch it every episode. The background OST, while not memorable, also does its job. ED song by Nagi Yanagi is excellent as well.

Enjoyment: While no show is going to be a masterpiece for everyone, I for one thoroughly enjoyed this. The few points this could have improved on would have been to show a few others who appreciate the abilities and efforts of the "Cursed Children". It would have improved the realism of the writers' attempt to portray the racism against them.

Who's this show for:
-action lovers (it's not just an action flick though)
-people who like modern anime artstyles
-sci-fi fans.
-loli lovers. Rampant amounts of them in this show. Just be warned that Break the Cutie is a rampant trope here as well.
-people who like serious things happening with serious consequences

Who's this not for:
-people who want a light-hearted series
-people who want realism or down-to-earth characters/dislike OP characters
-people who want deeper characterization than what 13 episodes are able to offer
-people who want a plot conclusive series

Black Bullet is an underrated action/drama anime. The people who made this anime did a great job with the art, plot, characters, etc. The characters were strong, caring, realistic, etc. The art was amazing too, and the story line was so sad, and dramatic. This anime made me cry a lot, because of the great story line. The person who got me into anime told me to watch this anime, because it was HIS first anime, and now its one of my favorite animes ever, because of EVERYTHING about it. You guys need to watch this series. I bet 99% of you people will cry!

Black bullet was an interesting anime with an interesting storyline yet somehow resembles 'attack on titan' with all the hiding from monsters that turn out to be the initiators but I guess the difference is that they actually know that from the start. The drawing style is really good the music suits what is happening in the anime so points for that all the characters have their own interesting relationship ^^ yet the initiators and promoter fighting style was a great and interesting idea. But in my opinion they could have expanded the series to 24 episodes because it ended too quickly and some ... stuff just felt unfinished. All in all great anime worth watching.

Here we go, so this is another story based around a dystopian society.

As such the mood for the story is dark, and serious although not too dark. They provide enough of a backstory that you aren't lost, which allows you to more easily relate to the characters and be a part of the struggle. In terms of complexity the story is lacking because there is a clear distinction between who is fighting for good and who is evil. This doesn't take away from the story though because there is enough of a gray area so that there is an internal struggle for the viewer.

The art ... is what I would consider more than adequate, although not outstanding. I feel that there really isn't anything to complain about because it doesn't get in the way of the viewer's enjoyment.

Mood is tragic and serious, but there is more than a sprinkle of comedic relief present as well. For that reason I could understand why some may say that the comedy is out of place when the plot is based on a dystopia. This is where I disagree because I felt that the comedic touches allowed for relief at points when the mood seemed to heavy.

If you are looking for something with a serious, but not down right depressing show with an adequate story you have come to the right place.

Black Bullet

Review By: John Fragglepuss Evans

There is a lot of mystery to this anime that unfolds as the episodes pass. However, it leaves you wanting more. At times it feels like there should be more buildup before the climatic finish occurs. It ends up being alright though because the show gets right back in the swing of things after every climax. Long story short, there is not a lot of down time in the anime. It moves at a fast pace throughout the season.

You might enjoy this if: You are a fan of Attack on Titan. Is has a similar feel to it in that ... humanity is nearly extinct and they must do whatever it takes to survive.

You might not like it if: You want a story arc that remains consistent throughout an entire season. The stories bounce around a lot.

Note to the Viewer: Just when you think you have figured out where the story is going and what genre this anime is, the anime will switch it up on you. Trust me, it does this several times throughout the show.
