Kohina is quickly becoming my favorite character in the series for some reason.

"Papa, can I cut them?
You may kill half of them"
I don't know why I found that so funny

Also, it seems like Satomi was expecting Kagetane to join the group even before he discovered he was still alive. He mentions it was the five pairs he originally had in mind and "joker" fits too perfectly. Am I missing something here?

Mr. Guard may be betting on getting away in time via plane or something, but sooner or later the other cities would fall, too, given that they have not beat a level 5 yet, and Aldebaraan would simply continue raging, too. Assuming he does make it out of the greater Tokyo area in the first place.


Let me remind you, Aldebaran is a Stage IV Gastrea that is known to be immortal. He is also the "Heart of Taurus," (hence ep 11's title) there is a reason why Aldebaran attacked Monolith 32 (ep 10) and the other Monoliths are different than 32, they are much stronger and Aldebaran would not be able to weaken them.

yeah hes not the sharpest tool in the shed.

also inb4 one of the characters has to sacrifice themselves because they cant blast a hole so they just get themselves eaten and blow up with the bomb.

Who will it be?

Rentaro
Enju
Tina
Kisara

Plot twist: Hiruko?

Lets be honest this episode and the other one told us this anime will not end perfectly. one of those 4 will die

For the preview: Shouma Nagisawa is running towards Aldebaran. That's all I am saying.

I also fucking love Kagetane. It's cool that him and his daughter joined the group.

Meh, the show still feels rushed. Yet once again, we see more emotions with Enju and what she misses in their world. I really was hoping Kisara get more action with her sword at least...

Poor Midori.

I just can't wait to finish this show now

Reminds me of another recent show, where a cat-girl died in front of a tree. Except it was a lot more brutal there. I think you know what show I'm talking about... T__T

Poor Midori. Black Bullet is depressing.

I"m sure Enju will die in the next episode.

Black Bullet...STAHP KILLING ALL THE LOVEABLE CHARACTERS!!!! RIP Midori.

That Gado guy died. Pretty sure I said last week that he was going to be worthless as fuck (cough cough right on the money).

That girl from the weapons company joins the fight as a tactician, and Kagetane joins up too and acts like a total badass. None of those pussies wanted anything to do with him once he showed up and defended Rentaro.

This episode felt like a carbon copy of Guilty Crown lol. We had Rentaro being a dictator and being called a king, and saying he didn't need anybody. That was pretty much Shu in a nutshell. We have Kisara standing right by his side, and saying she would be on his side even if everyone turned against him...Inori. Plus we have the impending Gastrea attack at the Flames, just like the impending red line reaching the school during the Exodus escape in GC. Not to mention Rentaro and Shu have the same seiyuu.

CG animation wasn't bad.

Midori died and man, this series is getting really sad... Satomi sacrificing himself for the good of humanity.

Seriously, that glasses guy at end is so dumb. Here, Tokyo is ending and all he cares about is "Erase Satomi Rentaro." Stupid bastard.

Am I supposed to feel something for the cat girl loli's death? We knew basically nothing about her, she dies and is immediately replaced by another loli who I also feel nothing for and who will also probably die in some shock factor moment.

Rentaro's loli harem were so throwaway and non-consequential even he forgot about them lol.

Feels like some lines were taken straight out of Guilty Crown o.o

yeah that's what I was thinking
Kisara's line "Even if the whole world turns against you, I'll always be by your side." is pretty much what Inori said to Shu in that one episode.

Guilty Crown anyone?

First thing that came out of my mind when I watched Rentaro became an evil dictator.Its so Perfectly guilty crown Even that Brown haired girl who said She's gonna stay at Rentaro side no matter what.Is so Effing Inori.
That aside,I hate this anime.It had so much potential and they bum rushed everything that I just don't care if one of the important characters die in the next episode.Also What the hell about the fight with Plediades.One punch from two guys and it just Died? What the heck? Episode 11 was building it up for nothing.What was all about those emotional shit that was happening in Episode 11?
Problem solve with One punch.
I felt bad for midori's death but that's it.Not sad,No tears were shed.Not enough midori and I know nothing about her and killing her in the next episode was MEH!

I heard that Black bullet was a Novel and I'm now 99% sure the Novel is better because the Anime is SUPER FAST paced.Its so fast that Most of the Deaths are looking like it came out of nowhere.Like someone pulled it out of their ass at the last second.Its Ridiculous.
It makes me angry that this Anime could have been one of the greatest/Masterpieces of its genre,The OST was outstanding and Everything would have been Awesome and a tear jerker if it was given a good paced.At the moment only Tina established herself and likeable in the anime and it would be a shame if She just disappear because of some random Pebble that came dropping out of the sky and pierced her skull.

They should call this TRAGEDY BULLET because its gonna Shoot you with Armor pierced Tragedy out of nowhere.You don't know where the Tragedy is coming from but You know its coming because they keep one Introduced characters and kill her/him off In the next Episode and if you're lucky maybe Two episodes.

Pretty much my thoughts. The 'fight' with Plediades was ridiculous. I'm doubting whether the directors care about consistency at this point.

I've already lowered my standards drastically yet it still manages to disappoint with every episode. So much for the potential.

Dang, this episode feels so rushed! 2-3 min fighting scenes, seriously? They didn't even develop Midori's character that much. I felt sad that she died and all that, but due to the lack of character development, I didn't sympathize as much as I expected.

Fcuk those ex-body guards!! Rentarou should've killed the douche one when he had the chance.

A lot of potential gone to waste!

I'm not sure, but wasn't the reply more like "you may CUT half of them"? (instead of KILL half of them)
Cause when I saw this scene I laugh due to a stupid old morbid joke, where a dictator says he will allow half of the prisoners to go home... yeahh half... the upper half or the bottom half... It was the same thing here... you may cut half of them....

well, i think that too..
since ep 10, we only see sad moment even in fast pace..

in ep 10 rentaro's student (enju's friend) died due bomb equiped with varanium
in ep 11 even not too sad like ep 10, it's terrible see people falling to gastrea.
and now ep 12 midori die due "neurotoxin stole her ability to move, and gastrea virus injected contiunally..". isn't that make people imagine like this " midori was in forest, due to save unknown initator she fight a gastrea, suddenly a gastrea that capable make neurotoxin appear and attack her. since it's neurotoxic, so suddenly she fall down. and gastrea around her, bite (or whatever method it's use) to make wound and inject gastrea virus, while that happen, she suffer too much, but can't scream..."
i hope they can make short scene about that, now with just monolouge, so it's can make midori death not so fast and unknown way..

My god... Just, oh man.

This show is terrible.

This was one of the worst episodes of one of the worst shows.

Wasn't Pleaides supposed to be really OP and difficult? Wasn't it supposed to be a suicide mission for Rentaro? 'Coz that thing sure died pretty quick.

Rentaro went back and I didn't even know what happened for the next few minutes. It was all so muddled. Gado is dead. Enju is biting Rentaro. Other stuff happened. What? It all happened too quickly and the moods were all muddled up.

Then Rentaro becomes the leading commander. Hot diggitty damn I can't take this show anymore. He's only 16 years old!! Why is everyone feeling so much respect for a 16 year old kid who thinks he's better than everyone else?! Why are they taking orders from him?!

Oooh, Rentaro acting all dark and serious. Why is that again? What is it exactly that you've done that makes you this way? You've done nothing to be able to act that deep and angsty! Goddammit, Gado's loli has the right idea.

And now Rentaro is the most powerful weapon. Bullsh*t. He's rank 300! Where is the under-100 rankers?! They can't all be dead! Get No.1 to step in! And I swear that he only became 300 on a little whim Seitenshi had. He didn't even do much to earn that rank...

Jesus this show is so rushed... And it's always contradicting itself... And it seems like literally things are being pulled out of the creator's asses... Like seriously, Rentaro was just able to call someone up and they were able to drop bombs on people. Nice and convenient, no?

When the dead loli class laughed, their laughter really pissed me off...

My god, not even Kagetane can save this show.

I was going to give it 3/5, but then Glasses-Guard-san showed up at the end. My word, that guy is so full of facepalm it's not even real. 2/5.

Last episode next week. Somehow I really won't be missing Black Bullet...

Aldebaran was the OP gastrea not Pleaides,it just shoots beams but can be easily killed by varanium weapons.

Consider that they adapted 4 novels,so a lot of scenes will be cut.

Season 2 could be possible in a year or two if BD sales and future LN's sell well,there are 7 volumes currently released,and only 1 volume has been fully translated (vol 2 only has the prologue and chapter 1 translated in english) :(
And are you sure you want to watch season 2?From spoilers I've read,surviving characters lives are more fucked up on a personal level that Aldebaran looks like a walk in the park.



For this ep
poor Midori
Kagatane didn't kill humans this time
idiot Seitenshi ex-guard,but I think the more idiotic one was the person that chose him to deliver those batteries.


For those looking for rank 1,I think that the ranks are in the entirely of Japan,so those that had higher rankings than Rentaro might be living in another city state (like Osaka for example).

I know right? This anime's concept had so much goddamn potential. Except Rentaro is a terrible MC and there are far too many lolis trying to be cute and get sympathy off the viewers to the point that it gets on my nerves.

So his own balls had to be replaced by robot ones. Huh. Sure explains a lot.

And are you sure you want to watch season 2?From spoilers I've read,surviving characters lives are more fucked up on a personal level that Aldebaran looks like a walk in the park.

[spoiler]
Kisara and Enju got NTR'ed (not sure if correct spelling :) )

For this ep
poor Midori
Kagatane didn't kill humans this time
idiot Seitenshi ex-guard,but I think the more idiotic one was the person that chose him to deliver those batteries.


For those looking for rank 1,I think that the ranks are in the entirely of Japan,so those that had higher rankings than Rentaro might be living in another city state (like Osaka for example).




Are you trying to make me like this show even less? XDD

But if you liked how sadistic the LN author can get in the 1st 4 volumes adapted,you might find s2 more interesting :) Too bad the animation art style didn't capture how dark the story can get,and looked more like a typical harem/action/ecchi series,it's just too bright colored.

Mmm... I didn't really watch this show for the sadism I'm afraid. <:) I really dig post-apocalyptic settings, and Black Bullet looked promising but it didn't live up to it...

The style the manga has would be a better choice; it has the potential to make things look really dark!

Yeah that art style was better (or the LN art style and coloring),and the animation team decided to focus more on action and loli's than character development.From some forums,some that read the Japanese LN's did say that they think that the LN's are well written,though can be slight sadistic with the characters,and Rentaro was a likable MC.

Midori just has to die. :(

Also, Kagetane's motive is still really mysterious... but I guess he helped out because he finds the Gastrea to be a threat to him in my opinion.

That bastard at the end needs to die. He is just plain stupid.

I think dropping his internal monologues was a mistake,but consider I haven't read the LN's yet so maybe it depends on taste.

I don't have any intentions to read the LNs so unfortunately Rentaro will forever remain a dislikeable character in my eyes.. :<

One of the better episodes lately, and it should be pretty obvious why.

Well done Takuto for getting revenge on Rentaro - whilst putting everyone else's lives (including yours and Seitenshi-sama's) at risk. Retard.

Takuto is literally just as bad as Sugou from Sword Art Online and I didn't think that was possible.

Midori dying was really sad - she was my favourite loli I mean, Initiator. :(

Looking forward to the next episode.

That GC moment, I like how so many thought the same too. Except it didn't work well here as well as it worked in GC. Most likely because this anime feels so rushed lacks good character development. But I did feel for Midori though ;_;

As rushed as it felt, I still liked this episode and someone will either die next episode or end up conveniently missing.
