No Game No Life follows brother sister duo Sora and Shiro. These two NEET's ( Not in Education, Employment, or Training.) have dedicated themselves to mastering the world of games. Not just one simple video game but all of them through clever tactics, manipulation and intellect. Together they form the online group named Blank, which received its name because their avatars names would be blank while they planned online. One day these pair receive a email that transports them to another world where everything is decided upon the outcome of the games played. Given a new lease on life Sora and Shiro go forth on ... a quest to challenge the ruler of the world, the god known as Tet.

The story of the series is very interesting and provides watchers great moments of laughter and chin dropping awe as these two intellectual characters go about achieving victory. The stories depth is compounded by the amazing visuals and sounds that makes up Tet's game world. The story does take its time by adding in great moments of reference to pop culture and comedy which lightens up the mood at appropriate sections during the story which paces the season very well.

The characters of Sora and Shiro are only made better with their interactions with all the supporting characters.Their dialogs with Stephanie and Jibril further the story and the attachment watchers will develop to the characters throughout season. All the characters that watchers encounter within this series will leaves a great lasting impression and serve to bring them even further into the story.

The ending of the season has only gotten me (and I'm sure many others) very excited for what's to come for the series. I highly recommend giving this a watch if you enjoy intellectual and comedic anime.

The world that Black Bullet takes place in a post-apocalyptic Japan where mysterious entities called Gastrea roam the Earth. The Gastrea have wiped out much of the human population putting those who remain threatened with extinction. The story follows Satomi Rentarou and he's initiator Enju Aihara who are civil officers with the task of defending the remnants of Tokyo from the Gastrea threat.

The first section seemed to be the best for the series. The characters were fresh and interesting but towards the end of the series many character became completely inconsistent with their beliefs and values. Character mood changed drastically between episodes and within ... episodes which only caused confusion about what the writers were trying to accomplish for the series.

Not to mention that during the series many plot devices and dialogs were put in never to be iterated upon ever again. This created a very hap-hazardous story line where there's actually too much trying to be done to keep a deep and meaningful storyline going.

To be honest the only reason I got interested in the show was because of the Characters Enju and Tina. I was hoping that they could have had more screen time but I understand that the series only had a short 13 episode season. Had it gotten 24 episodes I'm sure I would have far less to complain about.

To sum it all up Black Bullet had a nice beginning but failed to deliver on the final episodes. The characters all tried to become much more than the story could handle with caused many inconsistencies to occur.The story had far too many loose ends to make it a satisfying series.
