| Wtf was up with Kisara? Overall just another bb episode. After episode 4 I should have drop this. The pacing was horrible and there were so many holes in the plot. Sucks because the manga is really good. Felt like the anime had so much potential, but drop the ball 2/10 for me. Hopefully we can get a ultimate version of this. |
 |
| Enju + the loli brigade were the ones who kept me watching. I couldn't care less for the story or Kaki Yuji's horrid voice. The pros pretty much balanced with the cons. 5 is average, so 5/10. Average. |
 |
| why do you do this to me, black bullet adaption team... WHY DO YOU RUSH THE FK OUT OF IT AND UTTERLY RUINING THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL... WHY... the anime will never exist for me, only reading the LN >__< seriously, they buchered so many good things from it i wonder how they ever got greenlit for this anime... the characters are falling flat because they butchered it, the action was meh, some feels inducing parts didnt induce the feels because they butchered it everything away... *sobs* WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME *sobs even harder* |

| Interesting episode. To be frank, I stopped enjoying the anime around episode 7 since I noticed none of the other characters are getting any character development and not to mention the anime was rushed as hell. I actually liked the ending and almost teared up. Kisara might be a potential yandere and I grown too like this character now. I give the show a 8. |

ChibiReviews said: This anime is complete trash. Its a perfect example of what is wrong with our current anime industry. All major plot points were skipped or rushed. What happened to Enju's corrosive rate? What happened to that Initiator of Tina? All the personality changes of Rentaro and Kisara. Poor CGI All the deaths lacked any impact what so ever. Lot of off screen deaths that made no sense. I can go on and on. 1/10 So im guessing the review will be full of hate than :) looking forward to it |
| Well the pacing is what ruined this show, i thought it was good but it would have been far far far better if they paced it perfectly, instead due to many cutback and rushed scenes many, the show was full of plot holes, and cliches and some things feeling right out of context, its a damn shame, if it wasn't for the pacing it would have been a great series. |
Snowiefall said: Everyone saying Kisara shouldn't have killed Kazumitsu like that etc. Bullshit! And if Kisara ends up becoming Rentarous enemy in the future if they continue this anime, ill drop it off there. Was worth watching for Kagetane, badass. 7/10 for this season. I personally found that scene to be the best part of the disappointing episode. I'm still very curious as to what Kagetane meant with all his nonsense to Rentaro. |

| Nice series overall. 7/10 Cause of the ending. I like it that he kinda ends up with Tenju, but seriously, kisara turning ''evil'' and then going away. No idea what happens with her and Rentaro now. Hoping for a sequel. I think it was right for Kisara to kill her brother, in my eyes, rentaro reacted ''bad''. Im somewhat mad at the ending. Mad and Happy at the same time. |
 |
| This show was rushed, sort of predictable, and the fighting scenes were so freaking short tbh. I was having some high hopes for this show to be promising but then it was all a disappointment. But damn, WTF was that, Kisara slice him in half... I did not expect that. Now I have mixed thoughts on her, if she is going to be an enemy to Rentaro. If she is doing it, then I will be probably disappointing with that, even though that was pretty.... amusing to see her dark side. Ending was okay I guess, 6.5/10. |
| wtf was that shit Kisara went yandere mode LOOOL 4/10 |
| 7/10 - For 13 episodes I got the message and it sure riled up xenophobes. If it got you hating humanity, it did its job. |
 |
| Justice here, justice there. In the end, you're all just batshit insane. Call me when there's an anime about Kagetane or something 6/10 since I'm generous. |
| That Yandere Kisara-san killed me. I can't stop laughing. I don't have much to say about this since It's already in the first posts. 5/10 |
| Finally. The last episode. I would rant about everything that was wrong with this episode, and this series, but I'm just glad it's finally over. To be frank, the Psycho-Kisara scene was random, forced, and completely unnecessary to the point of irritation, although the animation was rather nice. On the other hand, the train scene was so lovely that it made me consider picking BB up again in the future, although I probably won't. The animation was also rather nice. 3/5 for the episode. 4/10 for the series. BRING ON THE SUMMER SEASON!!!!! |
 |
| Rentaro is a shitty character. At least Kisara wont back down and hesitate like him. Rentaro always talking about justice but is a big ass hypocrite himself. So yeah he one of the main reasons this show was bad. |
| Dont know why everyone is shocked kisara did that. They said earlier in the series that her and Rentaro started out hell bent on revenge he just mellowed out over time where she has been brooding. Did feel a bit rushed but still great series imo. |
| Damn, Kisara is cold! I wonder if Rentaro, Enju, and Tina will keep working for her after this... And my loli of the season award goes to Tina :) 8/10. |
| Well, nice,they killed my favorite characters,even if it was expected. Very nice,turn Kisara into a yandere like it all makes sense now. 5/10. |
| Very good series even though I will agree with everyone else and say that the ending was definitely rushed. On that note however I still liked the show. Kisara going crazy like that definitely got me surprised! I have a feeling Kagetane will be returning again, and now Kisara has revenge on her mind now. Now that the monolith is repaired they might not have to deal with gastrea any more but now they gotta fix all the drama on the inside. The gastrea I'm sure aren't done just yet either! For every new thing that is created at some point there will always be something that counters it. So now that the new monolith is up I'm sure the gastrea are just biding their time waiting to strike again. I'll give this show a 8.5/10. Good series hopefully we get some more but I doubt it. |
| One of the worst adaptations I've seen, which saddens me immensely because I love the Light Novel and manga a lot. I'll give it a 6/10 thanks to fripSide, Yanagi Nagi (<3), the OST and Tina/Enju. All those things helped me enjoy this anime somehow. Barion-Zara said: Just imagining how good this series would've been if adapted well gives me goosebumps T_T Urek said: the anime will never exist for me, only reading the LN >__< Instead of a sequel, I'd rather have a proper remake because Black Bullet can be a lot better than this. If only they took their time. Imagine BB with an art more similar to the designs and colors of Saki Ukai illustrations... it would look so much better.

| I just... This was such a solid anime, and then the ending, just? The war was short and sweet, and I mean with all the hype leading up to it I really expected it to be this massive episode that was going to put the dull parts of the show to shame! But then Kisara ends up being a complete donut and then there's a weird, happy/bat-shit crazy, yandere-like ending with Enju/Kisara, and the mask-man is just now running free and the rest of the civil officers go back to normal, and I'm just really confused. It seems like the show was left open for a second season, but with the way it ended I'm not exactly sure how they'd play out the rest of the story? Another war, or focus on how Kisara decides to go on a murderous rampage? 8/10? Maybe? |

| First half of the episode felt rushed. 6/10 Second half was pure awesomeness! 10/10 -> 8/10 |
| So Kisara turned into a killer,that was unexpected.Btw 6/10 for the series. |
  |
| Good Series I give it a 8. Would Love for a season 2 ! Way better than No Game No Life, that show was trash. |

| Holy shit this episode!!!! Really enjoyed the fact Enju and Rentaro were together in the end together forever. <3 Kisara DAFUQ? Is all I could think of lol. I really enjoyed this anime it gets a high rating from me ^^ |

| A nice episode I felt, and unexpected personality change from Kisara (Maybe too unexpected). I am a bit disapointed, I expected more from it. It did have good points like some nice characters (Kagetane was awesome), nice animation (Although CGI wasn't up to par), lolis(!). I did feel like it could have more impact, quite alot of people dying without me really caring. Despite that, I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. Still was enjoyable. Not sure how I'll give it, but I will certainly try the LN since it seems the anime didn't do a good job a adapting, and I'm really curious to see how it will turn out, if Kisara really will become really "evil". |
| Also wanted to say the music in this anime is amazing I want the soundtrack badly lol. |
| Minori Kushieda Forever <3 |
Ratohnhaketon said: The end scene was really emotionally compelling and the music that went with it was beautiful. The way Rentarou's eyes slowly changed into him tearing up was well done and Kaji Yuki was extraordinary in those final lines. Probably the best part about the final episode, especially how fitting Yanagi Nagi's song was. All the other scenes that were supposed to be emotional didn't deliver, but this one did. Despite me not caring too much about most of the characters or even the show itself because of the awful pacing, I admit that that scene was heartreaking. I understand what Black Bullet is, or what the story is trying to tell, but the anime couldn't live up to the original story. I haven't read much of the manga, but I was much more invested in it than with the anime. It's really too bad they tried to fit everythng into 13 episodes (much like one other notable anime this season). And yeah, the Kisara part definitely came out of the left field. |
| I enjoyed all the stupid shit they kept throwing at us :D Black Bullet always made me smile xD passable show for me 5/10. |
| this is why you shouldn't cram lots of materials into a one-cour anime because all you'll get is something rushed and unsatisfying ... Gokukoku no Brynhildr is just another more obvious example. However to be fair, I enjoyed Black Bullet even though its ending was rushed and I would've preferred if it was a 24 episodes anime instead of 13 episodes. I bet it would've had the chance to deliver much better than it did. I enjoyed some of the action but most importantly the lolis and their teasing (probably the reason half people are watching this in the first place). I give Loli Bullet a solid 7/10 . |
| Need More DESUUUU~~~ My Anime List |
| What was number 4 on Enju's list? I want to know! The ending was pretty satisfying imo. Let it all out Rentaro. Good anime. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
DoctorWasabi said: Way better than No Game No Life, that show was trash. Don't cut yourself on all that edge. --- Anywho, enjoyed most of the show. They did rush some things but still decent overall. 7/10 |
| enjoyed the series. yeah somethings came out badly and i didn't really expect/like this attitude from kisara art/soundtrack were fabulous, story had lots of pottencial (not totally delivered but i still think it wasn't bad) i just think that many people are tagging this as "awful" just because it seems cool to say most shows are bad and to seem intelligent, or maybe it is because the ending is noth what they expected/hoped for (the MC doesn't always have to get the bitch u know?)... whatever, i have fun watching anime |
 |
| I think that confirms a second season with Kisara's getting killed by Rentaro in the end. Lol anyway, the episode was perfect, A lot of deaths and Rentaro is still fucking alive.. I don't know why every time he is put into a death battle, he remains alive. :D I really wanted to know what that mask hides behind :( |
 |
| What about #4, and what ab out Enju's critical corrosion rate? and what about... ?! |
| This show was a mess, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. I have no idea where this tendo conspiracy came out of, it just appeared in this episode and somehow Kisara turns into evil lunatic in the span of 5 minutes. So many things are left out/rushed. At least it wasn't as bad as Mahou Sensou though... |
| Can I ask for second season? xD First I was disappointed that Rentarou was useless with fight with Aldebaran, but when I saw how Shouma's died, I glad Rentarou is alive, but sad because of Shouma's death... Also everything happen so quickly... Kisara?! WTF?! I don't really liked her, whole series I thought about her as "Because Rentarou need love interest", "Because there must be girl in Rentarou age to one of possible love interest and rival for others girls who will show up", but this... Just wow! I don't expected this! I want see another season! I don't mind RentarouxEnju, but only as partners... I also like RentarouxTina xD But I want them to stay in ship like they have! Don't want serious romance between them! Please, no... Well... maybe when she grown up... But now... stay the way you are :) Because this is cute! And just because there are boy and girl doesn't mean they must love each other as lovers xD Love this series! Want more! |

| God...this was so fucking good. It was so good. This show really shined compared to others this season, especially for me. Sure, the universe is a little disjointed - things were vague, overcomplicated, coherence was lacking at times. However, what made Black Bullet so good was its character development. Especially Satomi and Enju and Kisara and Tina...there's so much depth to every one of them, and sure they follow the usual stereotypes, but it's their interactions that really make them unique. My favorite harem of the season...Tina is way too cute. I wish we could have gotten more detail about Kisara though. Her dark past is finally being explained in this last episode, but it's not enough. She's way too awesome. There's so many backstories to discover...I wish we could have a second season, but I have a feeling this isn't so popular as I'd have liked it to be. If I feel motivated enough, I'll check out the manga.  This was so beautiful. But then you think about her corrosion rate and ahhh... ;( I'm gonna miss Black Bullet. Sigh. Overall, 7/10. |
