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.

Mixed Feelings
"Black Bullet" is an anime that evokes mixed feelings as I watch it. The story's premise, set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity is threatened by the Gastrea virus, is intriguing and sets the stage for intense action and suspense. Rentaro Satomi's character is compelling, driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to protect those around him.

However, the anime also delves into darker themes such as discrimination and loss, which can be emotionally taxing. The relationship between Rentaro and Enju, while heartwarming, also highlights the harsh realities of their world and the sacrifices they must make to survive.

Visually, "Black Bullet" is well-executed, ...

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 ...
