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.
