Black Bullet: Episode 1

Tuesdays

One of the anime I wanted to check out this season is Black Bullet. The picture they have for the series made it look interesting. The description for the anime sounded interesting also.

Opening Song: Black Bullet by flipSide

So, the beginning and end of the opening remind me of the Attack on Titan opening. Overall, it is a catchy song, especially the chorus. The scenes they picked make me curious to see who the people are and what's going to happen.

My Overall Reaction

First, let me just say that this anime reminds me of Aria the Scarlet Ammo. Enju's personality is so much like Aria's. They are both skilled fighters, although they fight differently. Really, the only big difference is that Aria wasn't begging Kenchi to have sex with her. Satomi is a lot like Kenchi as well. Both are skilled with a gun (although Satomi doesn't have to be in hysteria mode to have skill). Their personalities are similar also. Both amines have a similar feel to them. They can be serious one minute and hilarious the next.

I was pleasantly surprised that there was violence so early in the anime. Now that is how you start an anime! I'm a sucker for violence. Man, did I fall in love with these characters. The masked guy that killed those people was awesome. He just didn't care. Kisara looks like she can be bad ass. Sumire (sensei) just greeted Satomi like "why haven't you killed yourself yet?" This show looks to be a good one. It's funny one minute and serious the next. There is violence and a tragic story. I will stick with it.

Ending: Tokohana by Nagi Yanagi

Very annoyingly, they played the ending song while talking <.< But I was still able to hear it. It's catchy. It's got a rock feel to it. I like it. Finally! An anime with catchy music!

Welp, until next time!
