Black bullet is probably one the most Over hyped anime this season.Its one of those anime that has a Very good setting but failed to redeem itself because of the Bad or Rushed pacing.
I'm not gonna lie,Black bullet has a lot of potential to be one of the big boys of its genre but sadly given a limit of 13 episodes so its pretty understandable for its Rushed pacing.But..still it could have been way better.
Story 7/10: To summarize it up easily,The story is about the humans at the edge of extinction because it was overrun by Viral parasites called Gastrea.They used some form of metal
...
called Varanium which the Gastrea is weak to for your information.To construct a huge black varanium monolith to fend off Gastreas from entering their city.That's the main plot and its definitely an interesting one.
Art 7/10: The art is good and not the best this season but its still pretty good.I personally think the art has settled itself in my heart and Its a good fit for the story's lightly dark story.
Sound 10/10: This is where Black bullet excels.Its very well done The opening and Ending are absolutely fantastic that I would watch it over and over again just to hear and see its eye candy animation.The OST at the course of the anime is Super good and Well placed as the story progresses there's never a moment where the OST failed to place itself accordingly with each given situations.
Character 5/10: Enter Rentaro.The Protagonist you're generic hero with the heart of justice even at the moments of chaos.There's a lot of characters that will be introduced as you watch the anime,Each with their own personality that the audience each will have their own favorites and hated characters.Enju is the Initiator of Rentaro and tries too hard to be likeable and its annoying at times but not at the point that you will hate her along the way.This is highly paced that you don't care about the characters dying because they introduce and kill them off.At that point you just go Meh.
Enjoyment 6/10: 6 is Too much even for this anime but I personally Enjoyed it mainly because its not one of those Generic animes we get every season.The action scenes are pretty fast that you will yell "THAT'S IT!?"(Fast paced) and Important supposedly tear jerking deaths seems like its coming out of nowhere because its (Fast paced) it may seem like pointless killing at first glance but When you try to understand it.It makes sense that those deaths are important potential development for the characters in the anime but because everything is (Fast faced) you just don't care.Even the characters seems like they don't give a S- at all.One minute everyone is sad and depressed then the next minute they put on their happy face then the next minute they're serious.(Fast paced) this is my face at the end of this anime :l .
Overall 6/10: I'm a generous guy and it should have been 5 at best and I'm gonna rant again that Rushed pacing is unforgivable.This is an anime adaptation of a Light novel that goes by the same name and I'm now completely 99% sure its better than its anime counterpart.The LN has probably better pacing and Emotions would make sense in each situations.(Someone confirmed it for me and the LN is actually better WHO KNEW? I do.)
Its in the line of recommendable and not recommendable animes.I would recommend it to those lovely people who likes animes that try for something new and not your basic generic anime.
The Final episodes is emitting Sequel bait so hard for another Season and I say give it a chance.I'm not that hype but I would still watch its mainly because They constructed the story in Season one and I'm hoping they fix their pacing in the next season.
This is also my First review :))
