Black Bullet is a lot like Akame ga Kill! in the sense that things can be very happy and cute and all of a sudden, everyone is dead. The premise is that giant bugs kill everybody in the world, but these bugs carry a disease that turns people into bugs but sometimes little girls get it and get super powers. Then some of these little girls team up with people to fight these giant bugs. The bugs hate this certain metal, so people make weapons out of it and eventually create giant metal obelisks to keep them out. It's a VERY weird premise, but is presented well for the most part. Unfortunately, the main character is boring, and the little girl he carries around is boring. People show up, but don't really matter. When shocking and sad moments happened to characters, I didn't really care because they were usually just introduced minutes before. The fights that occur are usually pretty cool, but heavily rely on ugly CGI when the bugs are fighting. In summary, Black Bullet had a potentially unique premise, sadly it's wasted on cardboard cutouts for characters and shock violence. If you are looking for a weird and fun to watch anime that requires little effort on your part and you don't mind little girls being blown to smithereens, go ahead and watch it. If not, stay away.
