Black Bullet

Total waste of time.. Lazy stupid senseless story, It had potential but flopped from the start

While it was a good idea to add a kid girl, a teenage guy and a smiley face mask villain with a kid girl dressing up as a lolita, the plot for me still didn't match what I wanted out of this anime. Ok, they are fighting bad guys and trying to save the cursed children from the government but I think there had to be more than that. I just felt the plot was unoriginal and just boring. I had to drop at 3 episodes, it just wasn't the anime I ended up liking, unfortunately. I really did want to like it since it had great English Dub voice actors but they weren't enough to keep me viewing more episodes I'm afraid....

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!

The story is quite interesting and had you on the edge of the seat till last but the last episode bring an unexpected twist in the story but sadly there is no season 2.

I got about two episodes in before quitting. The animation and voice acting are pretty good. The characters haven't been really developed by episode 2 so I have nothing to say about them. The main problem with this show is the awkward and clunky exposition that comes out of every characters mouth whenever it opens. They don't even try to hide the fact that it makes no sense for characters to be saying certain things to each other. Information is given directly to the audience nonstop. A lot of it is even repeated. Maybe once everything is set up it gets better, but with how much stuff is being set up, I don't see how it could really fit into only 13 episodes.
