Wasted Potential. Initially i gave this a 9 when i was at episode 7, but my opinion changed when i finished this series. It met my expectation for a generic shounen show. good, but not excellent.

Story: 6
Story is the worst part of this anime, not the plot of the anime, the setup was fine and interesting, but the problem with it is the length of the anime. Black Bullet is only 12 episodes long, so there isn't enough time to fit the whole plot and character development. The anime felt very rushed, little to no character development. If it was 24 episodes, this anime would've been great. And the whole brink of extinction part, the streets and people in the anime feels very safe, doesn't feel like humans that are in the verge of extinction at all.
Art: 9
Art is outstanding and very beautiful. fighting scenes are animated very well. Art is very consistent throughout the series.
Sound: 8
Opening song is done by FripSide (who also did Railgun). ED is also good but the theme song is somewhat forgettable.
Character: 8
Our hero Satomi Rentaro here is not overpowered like other main characters, he is pretty balanced. There is character development but not much because of what I already said, 12 episodes is not enough. And the loli force are very cute and likeable. Kisara was a little bit annoying though.
Enjoyment: 9
I really enjoyed this show and I would recommend it to anyone who would like shounen and anime with a LOT of lolis :)
Overall: 8
Black Bullet is a good anime, starts out very well but ends wrong. I'm hoping that there will be a second season.


TL;DR
- Good setup but the anime feels very rushed
- Lolis
- Awesome fighting scenes
- OP done by Fripside
- Likable main characters
