Masked man lasts for only 4 episodes, I am disappointed.

Enju's corrosion percentage from 24% to 42%.. I wonder if the author is going to kill her off or pull some DEM and bring her back.

... that was easy... and a bit lame.

I'll be truthful, I'm not a fan of the zombie-apocalypse genre, but I had been steadily enjoying Black Bullet(well it was primarily because of the voice actor of Rentaro...), the action if not brilliant was entertaining and the story easy to follow with the discrimination against the Initiators being a decent plot point. I was thinking of it as a well done Strike the Blood, without all the unnecessary ecchi scenes, and it was reminiscent of the older shonens, where they were using the post-apocalyptic setting as a background for the action to unfold.
After this episode though, I'm not sure where this is gonna lead, and now I can't think of Rentaro as anything other than an Edward with a growth spurt.
*sigh* Can't really find good action(just action) shonen these days.

It is only the fourth episode and it felt like the final one.


No kidding o.o;

I got busy with school and haven't been able to pick this back up for months. I was like "I'm probably remembering this wrong, and this series wasn't as fast paced as I remembered it." Ahaha, nah, this thing throws so much at you in one episode.

Alot happened in this episode but things went by too damn fast to have an impact.

BTW has Rentarou been lying to Enju the whole time about her corrosion rate or has it really gone up from that one battle?

So...this episode was dumb.

1. Why don't they build more of those Railguns? Super effective and they have a ton of that precious metal.

2. The fact he was worried he might miss and hit civilians was just stupid. Everyone was going to die anyway (if he didn't hit the level 5) so accidentally killing people shouldn't have been an issue.

3. The political part they threw in at the end could have used at least a little build up....I'll assume that was in the novel and for whatever reason they cut out the buildup to that.

What just happened? This anime feels so rushed. First the main badass guy is defeated, then they introduce a monster with the potential to destroy the world and kill it in the same episode? And now the main guy has metal body parts which for some reason he never thought to utilize before in his last near death situation?
Wait, wasn't he recovering in hospital from being on the brink of death in the last episode?
It feels like so much is trying to be squeezed into each episode so far. If those four episodes were stretched into 12/13 with more charater development, it probably would've made a pretty decent anime.
Hope the pace slows down abit from now on, will be interesting to see what happens next with the big monster/main bad guy gone 4 episodes in.

I really hate all the characters in this anime, and I usually rarely hate anime characters at all. The character interactions feel so fake and the emotional scenes so misplaced... this is a very bad anime so far...

From what I've heard, the Light novel and manga is better paced, and lets you get attached much better to the characters.
Anyways, I'll keep watching this, since I hate dropping anime, and cannot afford the money to read the light novels. Hoping the pacing smooths out after this. Just wi

Why is that guy screaming all the time? Why did that old guy kill countless people and summoned that Gastrea? Why did Rentarou not kill him after pulling a stunt like that? Why is this anime so damn average?

This was a excellent anime one of my favorites actually because it had a lot of action in it but they did leave some stuff out but it had a little comedy in it too i think they should make another season or continue the seasons its a lot of ways to continue it and make it better but senjou wont be in it thats kinda sad lol

This anime (adaptation) moves insanely fast, making it difficult to enjoy and especially to appreciate. But other than the pace and lots of artificial drama ("the whole world is relying on you, please"), this episode wasn't too bad.

I've noticed this not only in Black Bullet but also some other anime series, that if the main character is given for example something like vials, they tend to use it all at once. Even though they are aware of the risks and so on, and the fact that if they are once again in a life/death situation they could reuse it, but no they have to use all of them. Of course in logical terms it would be better to leave some for later, as a precaution, in case anything else happens. I'm still trying to understand the series as a whole, but Rentaro could have left some just in case. Hmm...not sure if that makes any sense, but I'm just trying to understand the logic behind why they immediately use all the antidotes or whatever they are given at once.

Damn, this show surely has some serious issued with pacing its scenes. Its hella fast, man, no kidding. Like other comment i suddenly red, shit must gonna happen soon. Really dark to the kid development on this show. So much dead, and i kinda like the dead rate for important character. Sometime i mad, but in other time i rather enjoy that dead scenes.

WTF is wrong with this show? Normally this episode would have served as a season finale - with high stakes and dramatic moments. But how the heck do they expect the audience to be emotionally invested into any of this at this point? We barely got to know most of these characters, if at all...

Like for example how am I supposed to feel at the scene with Kayo? We literally met her only at the end of last episode and barely got any scenes with her.

Seriously - the start of the series wasn't all that great but I never expected it to go downhill in such a fashion.

That was enjoyable is what I'd say if it didn't feel so quick but what can I say it's done but there's a lot to talk about it's compact and I can't say its fast since I haven't seen the manga comparing to this adaptation

But it got darker as the episode progressed and the ending is a bit concerning who am I fooling this is a dark anime and the seinen tag is there for a reason.

This episode felt like Rentaro received a lot of power buffs at the beginning
and the outcome of the circumstances is more predictable. But the animation is pretty good.

If Rentarou had those Varanium limbs from the start, why didn't he use them the last two times he fought Kagetane, especially when the case was on the line?
