Black Bullet [Blu-ray]

- Synopsis: Human-kind is attacked by parasitic viruses that turn them into monsters. The survivors are forced to live within the Monolith walls, that includes materials that able to harm these parasites. The only way for human-kind to combat these creatures is to utilize cursed children that have traces of the virus in them. They are partnered up so that they can be guided and form a tag-team with them.===========================================================================================================- Comments: Due to its relatively serious plot and nature, there's plenty of dark things portrayed in this anime, which serves as a reminder that reality is harsh and cruel. Those that are unfortunate or aren't strong enough will be victimized by others. While there are some silly situations to break up the drama and suspense, the anime is still pretty serious and shows much death and carnage, as well as scenes that may generate sympathy and/or empathy from the viewer. Luckily, that's what the cute girls are for. They help break up the seriousness of the anime in small portions.- Analysis: Humans in reality and the virtual world generally will struggle to survive. Even when life throws its punishment, humans in general have been known to persevere. This anime showcases many of the people that have their own reasons for fighting. Most of them would rather die fighting for what they believe in rather than living a peaceful life. A respectable mentality to some, or an irritating perspective to others. It would also seem that many of the characters simply want to be recognized as being human. Unfortunately, discrimination and fear go hand-in-hand in this anime, making that seem almost impossible. Which is sad. But some foreshadowing gives implication that it will get better with each new generation. Thus, giving meaning to the word hope.- Features: English and Japanese audio, as well as English subtitles. Contains 13 episodes on 2 Blu-rays. Run time is about 5 hours long. Which is normal for a 12-13 episode anime. Rated TV-MA for violence, blood, and some fan-service.- Conclusion: Overall, great buy as this is an interesting anime with cool characters and fight scenes. An interesting world with creepy and deadly monsters that attempted to wipe out the human race. The character interactions also draw some emotional appeal, as well. There's moderate fan-service. This anime is more suitable for male viewers due to the genres that it consists of.===========================================================================================================- Recommendations: K, Tokyo ESP, Tokyo Ghoul, Buso Renkin, High School of the Dead, Code Geass, Code:Breaker, Ben-To, and Sky Wizards Academy.

This anime get pretty dark, but it is very enjoyable, would watch it again.

Black Bullet is a good anime, but there are a lot of good anime out there and while good it’s not great which is why I give it 4 stars. For me to give a 5 star rating I need it to be great cause everything can’t get a 5 star rating. That being said there’s not much I can say about it that is negative other than it didn’t “wow” me like some of my favorites. It had a good story although I felt they could have done a little bit more and it kinda felt rushed. Just no “it factor” to set it apart and for me anyway it will be one that will become a forgettable good anime and not one that I always think of when someone asks for recommendations.

👍👍👍👍

Enjoyed the show so much while it was airing that I bought it when I had some free money. I also got the books as well.

Always liked this series and reading the novels too. I hope there will be a second season anytime in the future.

Underrated anime series. A bit pricey but worth it. A worthy add to your collection!

Not one of my all-time favorites but a fun anime. The themes were a little darker than I was expecting and it took an unexpected direction but I enjoyed it throughout. Really liked the art and production value of the anime. Wish it coulda run a little longer and flushed out some more hinted at story lines but it had a pretty well rounded ending that didn't leave you hanging and completely frustrated so I appreciate that. Would watch again with friends.

Great Anime but not for those that are overly sensitive. Lots of action and political stuff. Highly recommended.

まず最初に国コードチェックがありますので、リージョンフリーのプレーヤーが必須です。英語と日本語が収録されていますが、日本語音声だと字幕が消せませんので注意。映像特典とかはありませんので本編だけ見たい人にはオススメです。内容は、近未来に異世界から来た生物と戦う話。絵柄に反して終始シリアス展開が続きます。非常に面白い話でしたが、緋弾のアリアみたいなラブコメを期待した人は痛い目にを観ますので興味のある方は一度ホームページを調べてから買う様にした方が良いですよ。

Exceptional anime series!

北米版がでるのを待っていました。まだ全話見てませんが、とりあえず。PS3で見ました。英語の字幕消せません。字幕はまあまあ大きいです。でている位置は、画面のかなり下ではなく・・・。画像は素人見できれいです。フルハイビジョンで表示されてます。ただ見たい人には安くて良いと思います。字幕が消せたらよかったのですが。。。しかし買って損とは思ってません。価格からしてよい買い物をしたと思います。
