Holy shit, the series sure started strong. With that epic battle against Femt's monsters, reintroducing all the characters again. How much I missed them. The sakga was spectacular, just as expected from Bones.
Too bad Leo's X-Station went to shit just when he was prepared to play it. The biggest tragedy this episode.

Opening wasn't as good as previous one (then again, the previous one was very good), and about the ending, well, I didn't managed to hear much. Hopefully, it will be good.

Also, did anyone noticed the Trigun's cameos?

Didn't care at all, bunch of shit happening just because.
I guess they wanted to show all the characters to the new comers, but besides the good production, nothing interesting happened. It was just random whacky stuff nad super powers.

The episode had the same crazy feel as the first season. I liked it a lot.
Happy for all the characters to be back.
The OP isn't as good as the first one but I liked the ED song, now I wonder if the new ED will top the previous one in visuals.

That was as crazy & as extravagant as the first season, despite the different main staff. I am absolutely impressed. Nothing more I can say.

Yeah, the overly-long exposition from the first episode of first season does not make a comeback here. Which is a nice change.

That's exactly what BBB is all about, in a good way. It's the execution that made it work. Though I would agree that sometimes it lacks in term of meaningful story, but that's not what made BBB great. It's the polished craziness that made it great. It's like asking a comedy anime for an impactful character's death, which is weird.

Episode was amazing, the visuals, soundtrack and the fights omfg. The animation in the beginning was godlike, Nakumura is a beats.

And WHITE! ;_;. Fills me with joy the new director didnt abandon her or pretend she didnt exist since shes ao. Hopefully her apperance in the OP leads to something, thank god.

10/10 episode easily AOTS along with Mahoutsukai no Yome, welcome back Kekkai Sensen.

For me its more like continuation of episode 10. The last two episode were really meh and forgettable so I will assume those two twin Black & White are actually good for dead.

Whatever, this first episode was totally amusing! Comedy felt even more than the first season and glad to see that we got see every good guy on the screen(in a most funny way). It was quite enjoyable ride indeed! There was no boring moments at all!

Glad to see this show is back. This was an action-packed first episode. It was awesome. The mission to bring back the president's head was funny to watch. Poor Leonardo couldn't catch a break. The first season was good, so let's see how this season is going to be.

"Not being allowed to do as one wishes is the mark of the politician."

Coming from a representative of the US government, this is the single most unrealistic part of the entire episode.

Epic episode. Was hilarious like season 1 and action packed too. The soundtrack was awesome too. At first I was sad bump of a chicken(still sad as Hello World was awesome) wasn't doing the op again, but the op was acc good. I also liked the ED song(if that was it)

Sugar Song to Bitter Step is really hard to top and I feel that this season ED can not do it.

Anyway this is divine retribution(if there is any divine being here at all) for Leo that he chose to buy X-Station than give the money for Michaella.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Yayy, it's back.

As crazy as the first season, if not crazier. Leo's also a lot more loud than I remember?
Wonder what the overarching plot for this season's gonna be. From the looks of the OP along with his sister this episode, I'll just assume that it'll somehow involve her?

Anywho, excited to see more from the anime once again. Even though she's gone, it was also nice to see a cameo of White.

That is the point, US politicians are frequently doing what they want (accepting kickbacks from special interest groups, having affairs...sometimes with underage staffers, etc). It isn't that the statement wasn't logical or befitting the intended role of a politician, just that it is laughable knowing how US government officials actually behave in the real world.

I missed this shows over the top crazy nature, laughed lout loud multiple times throughout the episode and was thoroughly entertained the entire episode. The new director did a fantastic job adapting this episode and it gives me loads of confidence that the loss of the last one wont be a detriment to the show cause the framing, timing, and execution was all just so spectacular.

I also am really glad to see they arent just ignoring the anime only stuff from last season with how they slipped white into the opening and ending. I'd say its just an easter egg for the opening cause you just see her briefly walk in a crowd but that ed had a straight shot at her so I think that changes things

Yeah but at least in the first season, there was more buildup to whatever situation they were in. It wasn't just mindless action.

But I understand this episode was just an introduction for the new viewers, so they had to make it as flashy as possible.
And I just didn't care at all, not impressed by that stuff.

I think the quote was more about being able to make political moves and push policy, not do corrupt dealings and adultery stuff. Like even special interest groups prove it, sometimes a politician has to sell out(or believes they do) to get ahead and obey their donors, rather than do what they want(many politicians spew opinions that suddenly change when they get this big donor.). Many politicians are just puppets. That's what I got from the quote. I can't think of any politician in the west, left, right, center, who is able to push all they believe into policy without getting blocked or just doing what donors or their party demands like they're some uber dictator.

Great first episode to initiate the second season of Kekkai Sensen! Still as random and hilarious as the earlier season though, and I wonder if this series really has a proper story to begin with.
I hope to see White and Black from last season as soon as possible though, since I really liked them.
Good to see the partnership between Zapp and Leonardo, to be frank, hilarious and incompatible as always. Wolf girl remains the stealthy and cunning woman as always and ever so annoyed by Zapp's presence, lol it was hilarious to watch.

Overall, a great start to the continuation of Kekkai Sensen and the initiation of Kekkai Sensen & Beyond. It's a bit saddening that the Op and ED aren't as great as that of the first Season but it is still a great one nonetheless. Can't wait to see how the upcoming episode will do.

The difference with the 1st episode of first season is that it had long exposition & down time for the first half to introduce us to the world & the characters, not a build up to anything. And the 2nd half suddenly there's a conflict & it's resolved in the 2nd half too.
As for this season, the characters were being introduced as the plot progressing & no down time with long exposition. And there were 2 distinctly different conflicts for the 1st half & the 2nd half.
So I think it's more of you liking a slower-paced of the 1st season's 1st episode rather than a build up to anything, because both seasons' have a same take on build up, almost non-existent.

If there's an overarching plot just like the 1st season, I hope at least it's better than the 1st season. Because the 1st season's was pretty disappointing when it's focused on the overarching plot. And the ending was quite all over the place.
