Do you think Black Bullet should considered to be the most hate anime within the NA fanbase?

Something I've added a long time ago in the TV Tropes page:

Americans Hate Tingle: Of all the Spring 2014 Anime and other Dengeki Bunko titles, this title has received the most hatred within the American anime fanbase, more so than Sword Art Online, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, and even Oreimo.


I'm curious if you agree with this statement. For me, I personally enjoyed the anime even though the anime actually cut out a lot of the stuff from the light novels. That being said, I understand why Black Bullet is hated within the American fanbase since Americans really hate lolis (mostly due to the fact pedophilic implications, the "macho" culture in America, and the fact that some of the anime fans who are dub fans are really hostile towards lolis).

Did you mean SAO II?

Plus why make a thread like this? It will only propagate more hate

It's a bad and rushed adaptation of a flawed but still good LN. At least the manga adaptation was great even though it ended quite early.

Despite all the flaws I still enjoyed a few things in BB. The OST is amazing for exemple. But if you have no tolerance for lolis, then you'll only hate it.

It was a disappointment but I don't think it was the most hated anime of 2014.

I haven't watched many different Animes, so I'm far from an expert, however I think having only watched and completed 13 different series hasn't made me overly critical and cynical of certain series as some other people in the anime community. I thought this series was very enjoyable. With a healthy dose of action and violence balanced with some kindness and good moments between the main characters I felt this series really pulled me farther in as I went through it.

I'm curious where the series can go now however if it gets a second season. Having stopped a plot to destroy the city from a madman, to the full on War that ended the first season I'm wondering if it has hit it's ceiling to early.

And as for the Loli stuff I didn't even think about that to be honest (I guess because I've never watched anime with that in it before I didn't realize it was trying to be that) and found all their advances toward Rentaro were funny and cute and a nice break from the terrible violence and injustice surrounding them. A little humanity in dark times, where you can joke, laugh, and have fun even when a serious challenge is right around the corner.

From what I've researched, there isn't going to be a second season, but things could always change.

I just finished watching this anime and didn't find it that bad. There are a lot worse animes out there. (ON a side note i like Sword Art Online season 1 too, Season 2 went so of topic but still watchable.) i would recommend this anime to people that want a short story with drama and action. If it would have been 24 episodes i think people would have loved this anime and given 10s as score.

I finished around 70 series ( franchises ) and closely to 300 series, ova, movies and i still dont hate any series just because it has a flaws ( i dont like to get stuck with details ). TBH, i cant find too much of them in this show whatsoever.
People say and hate this show because it has so much loli in it. They are not loli but young girls.
I find it really entertaining. Story is so-so, animation is topnotch and they didnt overuse humor. When they are serious they are serious, no mixing serious and humor.
But, people like what they like and i hope for season 2 or at least movie or ova.

I really liked this anime. I don't have a high tolerance for lolis, so I had some uncomfortable moments when the little girls showed too much interest in Rentaro. It just creeped me out that only little girls were weapons. But still, the OST, art and animation, suspense and such were all enjoyable. Every character had something to them and evolved somehow. I didn't know this anime was hated though.

There is just a tons of details that bug me.

Random new material that is effective against the gastreas, massively gather, process, and build hundreds of 100 meters high tower larger than houses around the world, in the middle of a war they are losing.

So many people hate the children, yet they are the mains weapons against the gastreas. Yeah go ahead and kill the girl jackass. I wonder why the gov didn't round them all up and turn them into super soldier in the first place.

I'm not a fan of magical/chi attacks from normals human in a real world setting (the gastreas and the girls are outworldly, the Varanium is ''new'', it's normal beside that). The lolies are hybrids so they can be super humans. Rentarou's attacks can be powered by his varanium robotic limbs... But Kirisa's and Shouman's chi-likes Tendo attacks are absurd. (I can totally accept this in shows that doesn't happen on Earth or when it's explained. (gods actually exists or magic was just hidden from normal people could explain why in the real world we don't have either. The Tendo is clearly not hidden so it should exist, not)

And there is the space, it change too much, half the time it's super drama, then a lolicon joke (i don't mind the lolis themselves).

And there is the random new gadget given a few minutes just before the perfect time to use it happen...

Pointless and cherry picking? Maybe but it matter to me.

This ^

Plus the fact I fount very creepy how all of the little girls wanted to get the MC, like he just breathe and everyone wants to marry him, it was so creepy. I don't mind some jokes about that but the show had too much, I felt like pedophiles had their Christmasgirft with this show...

Its not Blood+ but at least it wasn't as bad as Blood C.

Comparing Black Bullet to SAO? Really? One has 13 episodes while the other has at least 50.
Might as well start comparing Vampires to Buddhist Monks....

No blood in Black Bullet? Anybody that says that CLEARLY hasn't watched the show.

I don't really care how many people dislike an anime, their preference is different than mine. Nobody will like everything, like expecting Buddhist Monks to lose their shit over something incredibly trivial.

The show was dark & funny, happy & sad, and of course like most animes there's always a psychopath that stands out above all the rest.

Few things I was pissed about it: The Douche Royal Guard wasn't killed. We never got to see the psychopath's face (but at the same time its a good thing since he'll remain a mystery). I wanted to see that One Legged General fight with ONE LEG (How the hell is that even possible? Hop on One Leg Sword Technique? lol).
And if she is "Absolute Evil", why care about getting justice/vengeance for her parents' murder? Evil my ass....

The psychopath honestly was my favorite character in the anime, every time he showed up it felt like the End Boss was making a move. Reminded me heavily of Alucard from Hellsing.

You don't like it? Thats your preference. But don't go making up bullshit lies about it - no blood..... yes... everything & everyone must have RAINBOWS in their veins...

My honest rating of it 7/10, thats my brutal opinion. If I wanted to be nice about it, it would be 9/10. Anything lower than 7 feels like a "I quit watching 5 mins in to the first episode" rating.

So, even though i've given this a 4/10... I must say that i don't really hate it, i just don't think it's entertaining.
I would have dropped it but the psycho- kageone i think?- and his partner really pushed this from a 1 to 4. It would have been so much better if he were the MC, or at least main villian throughout this season. But alass, it only turned into a show where 10 year old girls randomly fall in love with the actual MC, who really shoots up in the ranks fast hey?
Lol, and what's up with that guard hating the MC so much? ... Anyway, the two key points that spoiled this for me are: 1. The short fights and large amount of off screen action, 2. I don't know why the top 100 weren't fighting in the... war?
There were other parts that made this boring too, like the whole children falling in love with MC, and the MC being boring himself... But i've watched worse than that before.
That's just my opinion though.

Anybody who likes BB is into an edgy Attack on Titan rip off with loli torture softcore porn and a either bland or insane character cast (of whom most get killed off without character development occuring) sprinkled on top of it. The story also goes nowhere

Watching it kinda makes you wish humanity would perish so those poor girls would stop being mistreated which plays right into the idealized pedophilia-complex of lolicons that just wanna protect little girls and cuddle them. (I know, not creepy at all, amirite?)

Basically anyone who likes it is either a pedophile or an edgy teenager with no understanding of good anime.

Honestly people saying Black Bullet was one of the worst anime , cut it out.Sure it was pretty idiotic for them to exclude such awesome parts from the light novel.Bottom line is some people didnt like it.Tho its actually an anime that kinda got me hooked to it after the first ep.Incredibly heartbreaking, from what i thought an amazing storyline.The amount of times ive full on cried in this anime,its hyped up on those feels o(╥﹏╥)o and the characters are really lovable.All in all dont call it the worst anime because for some people its one of the good ones.If you dont like it thats your opinion .Calling it the worst as a whole is just not it.If american fans dont like who cares....theres the rest of the world to look at too. ._.

It has its flaws but to say it's worse then Sword Art Online AND Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei? Lol, what the fuck? I bet these are the same people who enjoy their food without salt and their porn on deviant art.
