Story: 10
Most animes can't get a good story going and make it bland and the "protaganist" is overpowered and always wins making the villain useless and we all know the outcome. B is very good at throwing away the cliches and starting something new. The plotline example is a triangle. The RIS is looking for "Killer B" and other murderers while "Killer B" is looking for the murderers they are pursuing intertwining each other in their fates. Whatever the RIS does affects what "Killer B" does. Its an elaborate scheme as the villains are luring "Killer B" out while also taking on the RIS who is caught in the crossfire. As the ending goes very satisfying all the pieces fit together and its a masterpiece.
Art: 10
Of course good ol' I.G. Productions never fails to disappoint with art. Some scenes are mixed with CGI such as the cars but everything else seems animated wonderfully.
Sound: 8
The opening could use some work. MOST people skip it because it sucks. I think they could of came up with something better than a creepy opera. Now the ending, "Perfect World" is amazingly done and very catchy. It gives little punk feel. The soundtrack is also pretty good as well.
Character: 10
I have mixed-feelings about the characters but none the less they all have their roles. The main character isn't OP! Congratulations that cliche is gone! The character development with Keith, "Killer B" and the baddies are splendid. You learn more and more about them as the show goes on. What's best is just when you think you know the character, you really don't. Each character plays a roll in the story except a few members of RIS I deem useless but still have their best moments.
Enjoyment: 10
I enjoyed watching the plotline pieces fall into place and in my mind I knew somethings were to happen but how they would play out is surprising and the unexpected twists and the people you think you trust aren't who they say they are. Finding out their true colors and finding out how even at the beginning the things they did laid the foundation to what's to come later and it doesn't fail to disappoint in all three of its plotlines.
Overall: 9.5
For an anime with no manga or resources, I have to say it is extremely interesting and I would watch it all again to feel the same thrills and feel the same amazing feeling of watching a mystery unfold. The ending is extremely satisfying and no cliffhangers at all. Best part is, its possible the show will get a second season and I pray it will get more amazing as ever. The guys did a great job creating this.
