Holy shit the Gastrea going all out. Well that pretty much picked up with the pacing.
Then again, we get this guy's return:


Yup, he's alive...

Those monsters are strong, and it's the main guy to decide if they are to act. They lost, though.

Just because he thought he needs to fight and not stay put, he had to fight alone. The masked guy pair came... He's been helpful with providing information.

Aldebaran and Pleiades (sounds weird, that Gastrea is a playa!)
The Hiruko pair is back!!! Kohina wanting to cut Enju :O

Wow, the JASDF lost that quickly. The battle was a bit short but a lot happened especially with those spear of light.
Enju with that hat while helping ^^
Gado punishing Rentarou by giving him a solo mission! That small Kisara encounter was pretty good.
It isn't all that bad seeing that Hiruko is going to travel with Rentarou. Something about joining his side!!!

They're back!

Overall a meh episode. The whole battle against the gastreas ended really quickly. Everything else was boring. Then they showed up. Hiruko and Kohina made this episode a little bit better. Kohina seems to have gotten a lot crazier since last time. Dat song. Hiruko still cool as ice. Kinda want to see what's behind the mask. Hope Ren teams up with them.

Was 2/5, but Hiruko and Kohina made it a 3/5.

Rentarou is really a truly shitty character. Probably the biggest hypocrite on this show. The episode was meh either way i hope the manga doesnt become this bad.

Awesome ep. Really loving the fact they're giving this arc more eps. It's doing wonder to the pacing :D

Loved the teamwork at the start. Nice stuff.

I really wonder why the Gastrea pulled back because from what was happening they were completely in control and the situation was looking despair inducing to the civil Officers.

Tina cleaning the place was Kawaii <3

The HQ is an abandoned school? Lol. The meeting was irritating >~<
DAT Loli samurai that OWNED Rentarou is cute :3 and BA!

I wonder how they'll defeat AldeBaran?

Damn! The beasts chasing Rentarou was creepy. He was really screwed. I wonder why they ran away? Kohina-tan WAS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME!! Cutting them up like that :D Love Kagetane and Kohina so much >.<

Is it wrong that I'm hoping for a Rentarou+Kagetane combo nxt ep >.< Hope so :P
Though I don't see why Kagetane would want to kill the Gastrea but for Rentarou's sake maybe :P

The fight was very quick, at least we got to see their teamwork in action. Glad to see Enju is doing well, I guess her mental capabilities are okay, but will she be fine mentally if she just sees Rentaro leave like that XD I didn't get that. That touching moment when Kisara asks Rentaro to run away with her, surprised it wasn't Kisara that followed and saved Rentaro though. The man in mask is back, and he has the same goal in mind involved with Pleiades? Or is he going to turn on Rentaro in the last minute? Cliffhangers Cliffhangers. 4/5 Episode.

Would they join Rentarou in defeating Pleiades?
As a Non-LN reader,I wonder how are they going to finish in next 2 episode.(Secretly hopes for season 2)

I would say it was the best episode so far.

I was wondering why the Gastrea army pull back.

Hiruko is back. It looked like he and Rentarou are teaming up to fight a Gastrea named Pleiades this time.

It felt slow and rushed at the same time xp...

The Gastrea battle felt way too rushed, imo... was scratching my head for the first 5 minutes.

Then things went a bit slow after that... I'm a bit disappointed Enju's condition after the bombing incident wasn't really touched on much. She just seems too happy. You'd think looking at a bunch of people near death would remind her of the body bags her friends were in just a few hours ago... meh...

Kagetane pair is back. I swear, they improve the show 100% every time they show up. Just hearing Hiruko talk makes the whole scene more interesting.

That being said, I have high hopes for the Plei... er.. the Stage 4 Mercury shooting Gastrea vs Rentarou fight next week. Thinking the rest of his adjuvant will show up to support him?
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

5/5 because Kagetane.

This episode got me curious about the Gastrea though, it feels like a human is leading them. I mean, powerful Gastrea that can attract other smaller ones goes into battle "turtle" mode, while another one shoots long range devastating mercury laser beams O.o

Aaaand I'm also curious as to why Kagetane wants to help Rentaro kill Pleiades (at least I'm assuming he is planning that..) Actually never mind, I want to know why he wears a mask too..
Kohina still wants to cut Enju o.o

2 more episodes :|

First half was okay; slightly below average.

The Gastrea fight was pretty cool.

Hospital scene was pretty boring, but it was nice to see Enju being happy again.

Aldebaran is immortal? Well f**k me. (Obviously it actually isn't and they'll defeat it at the end... >.>)

Now now, I must admit that I am far from Rentaro's biggest fan, but Capital Punishment?! Come on! He may have screwed up, but he's a valuable OP-as-hell addition to your forces! Geez...

Mother of Lord were my words, I believe, when I first laid eyes on the two headed dog thing. Ugh...

And then - boom, episode drastically improved. I knew who it was right before they came on! XD (I guess most people did...) Kagetane and Kohina, f**k yeah!

I f**king love how these two were Rentaro's enemies at the start, and then they sat and had freakin' dinner with him by the fire. XD And then they teamed up with him at the end... I must see that, I must have my Kagetane+Rentaro combo!

5/5, just for Kagetane.

I'm not the only one who wanted to see what was beneath Kagetane's mask, right?

Episode was great, although the gastrea fight was short but great scene when kagetana showed up.

Curious why aldebaren retreated, even though it was protected and can regenerate........

could it have something to do with kagetane and/or pleiades?

Had a feeling Mask-kun was still a live, as did everyone else.

But then again, I'm not watching for the story. And if I did, I'd probably be disappointed because everyone's making a fuss about pacing and whatnot.

OMG, Kohina is back, she's so cute and yandere.

Kagatane is back, if he does end up fighting Gastrea then that will be a huge boost of offense, enough hopefully to defeat the Gastrea.

A much better episode than last weeks garbage, even if it started with the usual clicheshit and Enju wearing a nurse hat being "cute" And going full 180 with her character and holding the hand of the injured. *Barf*

The second half was though very good, thanks to Kagetane. Great great character.

I feel like we skipped an episode or something.

I feel like the queen will be some sort of humanoid Gastrea. Can't wait to see what happens now that Kagetane is here.

That was the best episode since the first episode, i wish they had kept the pacing like that all the way through.
I'm glad that Kagetane is back, because it would have been too tragic for him to die so early and not get any development.
Excited to see what the Queen looks like, and I hope that Rentaro teams up with Kagetane on this

I swear, whenever I see Kagetane on screen I forget about all the shitty things in this anime and fall in love again.
That guy is, to be more precise, he has something strange going for him. Is it the mask, voice actor, his goals, I don't know. What I do know is he instantly bumps my rating for at least 2 points.

So, by all means, I hope he stays around for remaining 2 episodes, just to remind dear MC just how shitty the world he's protecting is. Oh, MC knows it, but keeps hoping it is going to change.
Kagetane has more of an approach: "Fak em, let em burn". I guess I agree with him.

another excellent episode, it seems that everything happens in episodes of Black Bullet, just think that the fights could be better used and last a little longer
I also think Rentarou sometimes appears very weak, received a punishment and nor done anything to prevent, and so had to abandon his team and go alone ..
but will not alone .. I already imagined that Kagetane was not dead, but now appear and help Rentarou surprised me, it seems that there are many conspiracies behind the story
with a good ending for me this will be the best anime of the season ..
