shivan-s-desai I started watching Black Bullet about 2 weeks ago in English Dub. Rentaro is my favorite character, he is cool and he is strong. I always believed that Rentaro and Kisara would be together, but after what happened on the final episode of season 1, the relationship is strained. I hope their relationship would go good again. I guess he would be with Miori, because she loves him. Not sure what happened Takuto Yasuwaki, last time he was seen he and accomplishes were trying to sabotage the operation for the final battle, hoping that Rentaro dies. Takuto Yasuwaki and his accomplices failed to do so, but they are responsible for Rentaro's friend, Shoma die. Wherever they are, I hope they would be punished for what they have done. If Takuto and his accomplishes did not sabotage the operation, then Shoma would be alive. Other than Takuto and his accomplishes will be punished, I'm worried about what would happen now, such as will the relationship of Rentaro and Kishra be good again, because I hope it does. I really liked this anime and that it is the best. I hope there is a season 2 for this show. I give this show an A+.

cheetos0099 I cannot, in good consciousness, recommend Black Bullet unless you simply want eye-candy. The production values are high, but if you're into animes for deeper experiences, stray far from this one. At only 13 episodes, any anime that's filled to the brim with a lot of material is going to struggle. Black Bullet is many things: it's a social commentary on the ostracizing of a group, a romance, a comedy, and a tale of humanity's struggle to endure. On top of this, within its 13 episodes are 3 distinct plot arcs. Black Bullet tries to achieve so much in so little time, that it stands out only as a Jack-of-all-Trades, Master of None. Taking place in a city where humanity is pitted against invaders known as the Gastrea, Satomi Rentaro is an officer who fights against this enemy alongside his young partner, Enju. However, Enju is one of many girls persecuted by much of society for being a Cursed Child. These are girls who have enhanced combat capabilities because they were exposed to the Gastrea infection before they were born. Cursed Children, despite being hated for what they are, often assist as members of the defense force. As interesting as the premise seems, it's only a part of the greater, messy scheme of things. While all of that is going on, Black Bullet attempts to develop characters and a relationship and unravel plot details in an almost incoherent way with little devotion to any one particular element. For the first couple of episodes, you'll be trying to wrap your head around exactly what this anime wants to be, only to give up in frustration and try to just enjoy the ride. Sadly, all the way up to the final episode, you'll find that this is just one messy ride that can only be enjoyed for its pretty animations on screen with occasional flashy action sequences. So many times, I found myself wanting more of something the show offered, only to never get it because the writers wanted to show a little bit more of other things.I have never seen a more jumbled up anime than Black Bullet. Do yourself a favor and watch a show that knows what kind of identity it wants to carve out for itself.

Tweekums In the near future humanity is almost destroyed by the Gastrea; a parasitic virus. A few cities survive; they are surrounded by monoliths made of Gastrea repelling 'Varanium'. Shortly afterwards children are born infected with the Gastrea; they have special powers which make then invaluable in the fight against the Gastrea but also feared because they might one day be overcome by the virus; for this reason they are known as the 'cursed children'. The series protagonist Rentero Satomi is a member of the Civil Security forces and he battles Gastrea alongside cursed-child Enju. When an especially dangerous Gastrea attacks one of the monoliths they have four days to find a way to stop them or their city will fall.There is plenty of excitement to be had in this series and a fair amount of strong bloody violence. The story might not be the most original but it was told in an interesting way and there was a good cast of characters, including some entertaining villains. On the way to the final confrontation there are the expected setbacks; including one particularly tragic moment. The animation and character designs were pretty good. Overall I'd say this series is worth watching if you want an action anime with interesting characters.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

joelherro Maybe I'm just getting old, because I really liked this show, yet couldn't put it in the category of favourites like Elfen Lied or Claymore.It revolves around Rentaro, a civil service officer in the Tokyo area of the near future. For the past 10 years Gastrea, man-eating monsters, have been constantly attacking humanity and are being just held at bay by huge monolith fortifications around the city made of Varanium, the only material that is impervious to their attacks. Rentaro is aided by Enju, one of the Cursed Children. These are all female girls with red eyes and extraordinary abilities, brought about by having part Gastrea in their blood. Eventually, the Gastrea find a way around or through the monoliths and someone needs to save Tokyo...This show has great animation and characters with plenty of bloody violence, which I dig. Yet, I felt something was lacking, because I couldn't put it up there with my old favourites. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff haha. Anyway, for you younger guys, check this out, it's fun!
