Story 6/10
This is one of those series who could have had an interesting story at many points but always fails because it follows the standard cliché most shounens follow which makes the story uninteresting and predictable. Instead of giving itself a chance to engage into a nice plot twist in which it had the chance several times it still sticks to follow a pale and uninteresting storyline where the main character and the authority are the good guys and lots and lots of lolis , how many missed potentials did Black Bullet miss?? a lot , unlike Attack on Titan which has always grabbed our interest with its unorthodox and unpredictable way in writing its story. even though it used long build-ups to do so , While in Black Bullet the storyline gets crammed to fit into 13 episodes and cramming the chapters made it unenjoyable.
Art 8/10
The Art is pretty good, The Visuals are pretty nice ,I would be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy the Art pretty much the best thing in this series is its art but it had some inconsistencies in its animation as there were a lot of frame skipping methods in the series which made the animation look stiff at some points.
Sound 6/10
The Voice acting isn't bad , It's not that top notch either , The real problem is in the OST, they use about 3 or 4 pieces of music repetitively and they are not that good anyway which does only further makes the enjoyment less, the opening is good though and is nice to listen to.
Character 6/10
The Characters are just too standard and predictable , They are not unique and uninteresting at most times, the excessive amount of lolis also bothered me a lot. Most characters were 2 dimensional which made it uninteresting to watch, Especially that I am not a fan of moe and all, the only really interesting character in the series would be this guy

and at some episode he just seems to lose all his hype at a later episode which is not a good sign.
Enjoyment 7/10
There are some parts that I enjoyed and some that I haven't, The biggest downfall of the series to me is that how it creates interesting possible story lines then it just breaks them and move along the standard cliché , the dialogues are cheesy and the character development falls short because of how fast the events are going, I hope they fix these problems in their second season though.
Overall (6 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 7 )/5 = 6.6
Ceiling that gives us a 7
so its 7/10 (Good)
