| To be honest I think I'll enjoy this show better if I don't take it seriously. Enju is still annoying. |
| Simply the best of the season. Two episodes full of information without any heavy parts and a lot of feelings. Really really interesting |
 |
| Kagetane scares the crap out of me. But he's so deliciously evil (or at least mysterious if this villain role is a red herring), I can't help but look forward to whenever he comes on-screen. The premise is cool as it is, but I think he's gonna be one of the reasons why I'm sticking with this anime. I want to see what he does next. |
  |
| fantastic 2nd episode. hopefully the rest of the show will be similar. only problem i had was the pacing which kinda implies that the show might only be 1 cour |
| Great second episode. I'm looking forward to more. Hiruko is such a badass, I like his character and him as an antagonist. |

I mean, who said the cursed children (adults) could interbreed with the human race? Who said they were they're own species. They're part human too. Your missing the point that the main villain wants all the normal humans to die out, meaning there would be no males to breed with. There will be a few male left like Rentarou and himself, what a big harem dont you think oh come on, don't over-imaginating |
 悲しい… 悲しいわ… 今日のこと、「お月さま」にも教えてあげないと。 あなたも… 私 “たち” の中に… 取り込んであげる。 |
| Enju T_T I feel sorry for Enju. She must really took it down hard. Not being accepted by her peers. The ED is nice. |
 |
| Is MAL missing its harem tag in this show too? |
| I really don't understand why an over emotional teenage kid would be a civil officer, it's not like this is war where the soldiers conscripted have no idea of what the front line is like. I'm pretty certain that the officer position would have a job description stating that they work with replaceable "tools" called initiators. I feel bad for him, but little girls getting killed is the norm there. There's basically no point in him getting all mad about people treating them as tools. I'm pretty sure he will continue to repeat this behavior in the following episodes, which will make us rather frustrated thinking how powerless he is in the situation. Also hope they would stop showing random people such as police abusing little girls in the future. We already know that they are treated badly, so anymore would be just disgusting and irrelevant to the story. |
| Wow that was brutal when the cops shot that little girl. God Farther vibes right here with the head as a present. |
 |
| This anime's gonna be an epic one. |
| there are some parts of the opening that remind me the opening from shingeki no kyojin good episode, pls more rentarou x kisara |
 |
| Loved the emotion in this episode, this series is one of my top 3 this season :D |
 |
| Damn, I'm in love with the OP already. Urgh, when is the single coming out? |
| allo |
| OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the girl NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! T_____T |
| Wow... the plot is moving fast. ;-) Not to mention the villain is awesome! XD Let's hope it will keep being as interesting as it is now. |
| This is getting better and better! The OST is really amazing. Everything's done so well! |
| Nice to see how the world can be cruel in this anime like in the reality. |
| I can tell that this is going to be an epic anime,really like that masked man du know why :) |
  |
| Great antagonist. Great episode. Beginning of that OP sounds a lot like AoT OP 2. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |

The Gastrea virus locks in the XX chromosomes while the fetus is still in development stage, thus a female is produced. Plus they're all 10 years old, because the virus only appeared 10 years ago. Hope that helped. |

"Komugi, are you there?" |
| I was hopeful after the first episode, and this episode definitely lived up to my hopes. I really like the direction this episode took the story, and more of the Masked man! Also, Enju is so damn cute and there's so much going on in this show. I love it! Looking forward to the next ep. |
| Less loli resulted in better episode. |
| - |
| After 1st episode i didn't expect much from that show, but that episode was great.I'm curious what will happen next. It definitely have a potential. And that ED is probably the best of spring season. |
| Just watched the second episode and I have to say that this is one of my favorite animes this season or maybe even one of my top 5 animes. It has all genres that I like, an antagonist that is unique, story and characters that draws you in and just makes you wanna watch more. I'm really looking forward to the next episodes. TabQwerty said: And that ED is probably the best of spring season. I agree :) |
| I kinda fanboyed at this episode. XD I think the cursed children will play a big part in the story. Kinda amazing to see how the bigshot officers have these kids as their initiators. Rentaro has some deep ties with the Tendo household as it seems. That masked guy Hiruko looks so BA. I loved it how Rentaro saved Kisara from the bullets repelled by Hiruko's field. It's getting darker here, hypehype~ sad for President to be killed by Hiruko and Rentaro gifted with his head. And seemingly, it still gets a bit sad, I feel bad for that cursed children. Seems like the lolis of this season are just that BA. Too bad Enju's secret was out, it was nice to know about Rentaro's and Enju's past though. Man..this episode did felt to get darker progressively. This is easily becoming one of my favorites from this season. |

Nuvi said: That masked guy Hiruko looks so BA. I loved it how Rentaro saved Kisara from the bullets repelled by Hiruko's field. I have to agree, the masked guy is really something else. And above all he has is own initiator. I wonder how his past looks like :/ |
| This ending is wonderful ;_; |
| That scene with the police officers was not cool |
| Better than the first episode. I don't understand why Enju ran away though. |
  |
| Good start to the series, mc isn't stupid and can be badass, like it |
Nyaaaria- said: You really are the king of marathoning  |
| Glad to see this show is more than just loli's fighting :D |
Kitoge said: That scene with the police officers was not cool Because it was a little girl or because it was just a dick move in general? Well I do agree with you it wasn't good, but it sets the scene for police corruption and dishonor I guess. |
     |
| I don't know why, but I've taken a liking to the masked man. As I like Ren's character, him not jumping in to save that girl at first speaks alot about him. |
 |
| This show is looking to turn out well. Lots of feelz and well done drama so far. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Ok this was much better than the premiere episode. There are a lot of directions this anime can take now, and starting to like the mc slightly more. Watching this. |
| I didn't expect this to be this brutal and graphic, nice! Looking good so far! |
| It's still too early for me to judge Black Bullet, so I'll keep watching this. Hopefully something interesting happens soon, but this episode was still better than the first one. |
| Those fucking cops!!! How dare they shoot that poor child like that!!! I have no words to describe just how awesome Kagetane is as a villain. |
 |
| Question for people who like this anime: I heard it is really interesting. And I like how there's this sci-fi theme and that there's a virus going around. I also really like the ending and the opening. It's perfect except: I hate(or rather scared of bugs, especially spiders). Is there a lot of spiders in the series? Because I'm considering watching it. |

Because I'm considering watching it. actually not all gastrea has to be insect/arachnid type. later we will encounter for example a deer type gastrea. |

| Well this show just stepped up from its first episode. Seems like the majority of the population hate the very people keeping them from annihilation and with the way those police officer dealt with that stray cursed child really brings up the question about who are the real monsters here. Kagetane is proving to be quite the worthy antagonist as he doesn't seem to be around just for the evils plus he's just so damn fantastic. His methods are pretty extreme though. |
