As far as I'm concerned—this sequel doesn't exist.
I enjoyed the original B: The Beginning. The ending was okay. They didn't need to make this. It was initially supposed to be a twelve-episode-long sequel, but they trimmed it down to six—at the expense of a coherent story. B was never a tightly written masterpiece, but it was watchable. B: The Beginning Succession is illogical, stupid, boring, and it has a terrible title. Why didn't they call it B: The End? Or B: The Second?!
While watching this sequel, I felt like no one cared. No one cared about the continuity of the show. The action scenes make

I'm not a fan of B: THE BEGINNING, a show that mostly feels like a mixtape of elements from other shows e.g. PSYCHO-PASS, DARKER THAN BLACK, MONSTER. But in rewatching the first season, I could at least appreciate the high production values and occasionally goofy story. The nonsensically titled SUCCESSION doesn't even have those things. It's cheap as hell (lots more CG) and poorly directed, no doubt the result of Kazuto Nakazawa and others who worked on the first season being less involved. And as cliche as the first season could be, those familiar elements gave the show some semblance of a story structure and

I had to re-watch the first season to remember what was going on and prepare for that second season. Despite having its flaws that are inherent in the mystery genre, it is still a very interesting and engaging anime by the atmosphere, themes and plot twists.
This second season, however, is a mess. Despite exploring some of the cliffhangers left in the first, everything happens without any practical justification. Kirisami being alive had already been hinted at in the first season at times, but the reason for that and the way it was done was stupid. Izanami mysteriously returns from the dead and her existence is ... Aug 3, 2022

This review is for Part 2 of the anime, B: The Beginning, which is also called “Succession.” Summary: B: The Beginning is a crime and fantasy thriller anime initially released on Netflix. Part 2 takes place shortly after Part 1, which was far more interesting than this season. In this rendition, the detective is abducted, and the other parts of the story don't make much sense. Part 2 is incomplete and practically incoherent. Although it’s 6 episodes, the story is cut off in the middle of the plot at the end of Part 2. The art, music, some characters, and some unique pieces of the plot ... Mar 23, 2021

I told my closest friends how ECSTATIC! I was that this season was coming out this month! I RAVED so hard about how great the first season was! I felt nostalgia, which as I age is such a rare and hard emotion to nail down. And you know what happened? You know what they did? They just took it all away within 20 minutes. What is this? What happened to a killer ED? Who even are these characters anymore? The first season is slow, especially at the beginning, but this who 6 episode season was just a throwaway story. It never seemed important, ... Apr 15, 2021
So assume to be the sequel to Season 1, in the end there is a not terrible animation no clear rhythm in each episode, NOTHING happens in this season the episodes stretch out and end exactly as it started, we do not understand what is really happening we just want the little fight to catch up with everything but not even there the fight of Kokuu against the other is ridiculous nothing to save just to throw away... Comparing to what we offered in season 1 it's just disappointing as much about the animation as the story
I expected more from Keith's character in this sequel ... |
