This anime is pretty good, but it is not for everyone. In the simplest way possible, it could be described as Death Note with more supernatural elements to it. Sure, Death Note had Shinigami's and a special book, but outside of that, it had a realistic setting. B is about a "righteous murderer" that has supernatural abilities. The police are trying to catch the person to bring them to justice while a criminal organization full of people with similar supernatural gifts are trying to capture the person for their own purposes.

Story: Similar to Death Note, it purposely leaves you confused for a bit until the writer decides to let you in on the secret. I felt the story was pretty good, with plenty of twists and turns (some you see coming and some you do not).

Art: You can tell Netflix has some seriously deep pockets and was not constrained. The characters look great, the action scenes are pretty damn good. There is gore in this series, but it never became too much for me. Even as an adult, I am not a big fan of "gore-y" anime, but I was fine watching this.

Sound: Not a fan of the opening song, but the ending song is very good. The music throughout the episodes fit the mood pretty well. For an english VA anime, it is very good. For the most part, the voice acting was great, there are a few characters that have a voice that does not really match their vibe, but they are usually just side characters that will not be there for long periods of time. Seriously though, the English VA is not to be feared here, it is more than watchable.

Characters: I wont say much because it can spoil a lot of things, but I liked majority of the characters. Oddly enough, I felt as though the main character needed more screen time early on. There are no horrible characters here... you know, the ones that you just want to skip every time they come on screen.

Overall: I enjoyed the series and it did remind me a little bit of Death Note. However, I know that Death Note is a very popular anime, so I will say that do not go in expecting a clone or something to the same level as Death Note. It is similar, but the plot twists and mind games are not masterpieces like Death Note had. I will say that if you liked Death Note, give this one a shot. Otherwise, try this if you like crime mysteries sprinkled in with supernatural organizations.
