No. Watch the prologue and stop. It's not even subbed anyway.
Black Bullet 01 - 04
Well I found another show of Spring 2014 that'll give Mahouka a run for its money.
So let's dissect this show starting off with the plot and atmosphere. So here we have an 'humanity on the verge of extinction'-esque theme which was profound in the beginning of the first episode (Shingeki no Kyojin anyone?). The problem is that aside from the beginning this theme is never shown again in the show. Yeah in the first episodebut there's never a city/area-wide alert when shit goes down (Note: this is common for these type of animes see Shingeki no Kyojin, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc.), even when aa random dude gets killed by the GaestraIf anything this show feels more like of 'dark knight' sort of feel where you have a small group protecting the city/area in secrecy.Gaestra Level 5 shows up, that is known to wtfpwn cities, the whole operation is very hush DESPITE IT BEING HUGE AS A MOTHERFUCKER.
Pacing now! Yeah this show is obviously rushed as hell.........where's the fucking pacing in this show?First episode: Flash back and main antagonist shows up. Second Episode: Main antagonist interrupts wtfpwns an official conference, introduction of superbuff 'rival' to the MC, and 2nd MC undergoes identiy crisis. Third episode: 2nd MC's Identity Crisis is resolved, both MCs fight the antagonists resulting in 1st MC's death. MC resurrected and 'top-secret-awesome-mission' is initiated to stop city-wide crisis. Fourth episode: Both MCs and antagonist(s) fight again resulting MC's in winning. Mission goal failed as antagonist's succeeded. New mission goal, MC fires a railgun and wins.
Oh yeah plot-holes! Case-in-point is the MC's"supposed death." So yeah MC died by getting shot and stabbed then gets saved from the brink of death via surgery, yeah that's all find and dandy. Then round 2 comes between MC and the antagonist and MC's goes "I WAS A CYBORG ALL ALONG!!!!!" Hold the fucking phone, you were just shot and stabbed where your supposed 'cyborg-parts' were, where the fuck was this shit during the first confrontation! I know he didn't get it via the recent surgery because the show just explained 10 years ago he already had the damn cyborg surgery.
This is all just from 4 episodes. The only redeeming quality of this show is the antagonist and his "fuck-everything-up" shtick he has going on. But seriously, while Mahouka had me confounded to its nebulous explanations, Black Bullet is competing with is nonsensical execution of its plot.
Edit: Oh yeah, Black Bullet is also pulling out the F/SN meme with is quote: "If you don't want to die, LIVE!"
Chaika The Coffin Princess 7
That feeling when the main character realizes he's harem'd himself lol
Other then that pretty solid episode, not sure how this series plans to wrap up in 5 episodes though seems like a lot of plot lines have only barely been scratched.
i just watched it so it's clear in my head thatHe was certainly stabbed in the human parts and as ep 4 showed he couldn't win without some the boost haxoor serum that granted him "super regen".he is part cyborg and still has human organs.
During the episode 4 they tell you what part the MC lost and none of the places where he took damage in ep 3 fit.
The mc lost :
The question is more why didn't he- eye
- leg
- hand
And he was stabbed in the chest , so in the human parts he still gotand the answer is simple , he got shot before he could use his super moves ( shot with a pistol and then he ate "maximum pain ")use his cyborg parts before when he knew he was against an opponent of the same caliber
So ..not a plot hole.
I think it's clear if you look at the scene in ep 3.
This show is better than it has any right to be. It's just entertaining to watch. I find myself looking forward to each new episode. I am glad to find a show like this. The end I was really happy about from every character.
split cours.
Is there any chance of the JoJo anime continuing to parts 4-7?
Well the show certainly does move fast , but most of the show this year ( and the year before ) were like that.I see, aside from showcasing the revealing of thethere was no explicit mentioning of it in previous scenes (and episodes before it). In all honestly I assumed his entire right side of his body wascyborg body and the antagonist going "your limbs were replaced?!"artificial which isn't a hard assumption to make considering the amount of force he's projecting into his arm via his body with the martial art-combat style he's got going (IE he's still gotta use his apparently weak/easily 'stab-magnet' body to project those super punches)
With that cleared up the show still isn't excused with how poor its execution is. 12/13 episodes isn't even an excuse as plenty of animes with the same episode budget have done better.

And the very end you can predict because of the OP. Classic case of OP giving away more than what it should. Still love the OP. And I am finding that I love the ED to the show too. So goooooood!
Thoughts during episode:
I'm in love with the intros of Date a Life.
"Yuri. The world of aesthetics and perversion"
"The forbidden door opens in front of Shido"
"It´s all right. It´s only scary at first"
Hey guys, been a while. I'm actually holding off on a lot of the Spring shows, as I'm going to marathon them when they finish (a lot of these shows are 12 episodes). The only one I'm watching live is Nisekoi lol
Anyways, I been on a romance kick ever since Toradora and Clannad a couple months back. Meh god, too many feels. Basically, I think most Anime do romance horribly. I don't even know why I punish myself anymore. If it's not the lack of resolution, it's usually shitty people being shitty. Randomly started watching Kimi no Iru Machi, holy god what a bunch of insufferable people.
White Album 2, School Days. Yeahhhh I think I'm at the end of my line for this sub-genre.
...new ?
Black bullet - 03
So many morons in this world/universe
All those feels , she is crying dammit ! And it's their fault !
So many lolis left and right too !
Oh and the Antagonist is really good so far
Watching this i really want to give everyone in the area a double serving of slapping in their face because they deserve it !
People who dislike Usagi are the worst
...It's gonna be a painful wait for those Sailor Moon releases with the new dub, but I'll manage. Somebody's got to watch it, and I'll do it.
...Assuming money permits, of course.
Why do we americans live in an unfair world, the France Sekaiichi Hatsukoi set is amazing.
Puchim@s 37-42
Brazil with all those pterodactyls flying around.
I think that's all of the puchidols introduced now then.
Well the show certainly does move fast , but most of the show this year ( and the year before ) were like that.
The only show that does NOT move fast is mahouka , because it can't move fast
While it does move fast it certainly keep the setting fresh by making it change everytime , it certainly prevented me from droping into a routine.
Yeah it's very entertaining. And i really like the cast.
Engaged to the Unidentified 12
There were some decent action scenes in there. Probably should have known it was a misunderstanding considering the lack of real drama in this show. Overall, this show isn't that great. Mashiro is cute but that is about it.

Summary:
Seriously I don't understand why the show wants to pair up Raku and Chitoge so bad. At every turn they do something to Onodera, Mari or Blue haired girl(Sorry her name has totally slipped my mind) that totally undercuts them from advancing. Like this episode. It looks like Onodera may make progress but once again the show screws her in favor of Chitoge yet again. It's so frustrating to watch. There was a few laughs here and there but this episode was so "let's undercut everyone so that". It's so contrived and redundant at this point.Chitoge is forced to play Juliet
It's not even organic at this point. They force these situations on characters so that way everything conveniently works into Chitoge's favor.
Edit: And seriously how long does it take to?fix a damn locket
No Game No Life 7
This show is so great. Good job, Madhouse. Its like the divided the great and the suck in NGNL and Mahouka.
I certainly don't think that it's ok.There's a difference between 'moving fast' and 'rushing', Black Bullet is definitely the latter. Just look and how much episode 4 did. Killed off a good portion of characters we were introduced to, one-offed the main antagonist (granted he's prolly coming back), one-offed the main crisis that threatened city-destruction, and revealed the whole motive of the antagonist's goal. If anything episode 4 was executed as the last episode of an anime with cliffhanger to a supposed season 2. You cannot tell me this constitutes as an 'okay' execution of any anime's first introductory arc.(level 5 Gaestra thing)
And the side-story/semi-arc regarding Enju's? Completely irrelevant as 1) there was no closure to the fact that her peers are still gonna hate her (identity crisis) and 2) it only served as a trigger unto the first main confrontation with the antagonist, which could be arguably be done without some rushed side-story/semi-arc.the 'supposed' closure being that Rentaro would always be there for her, which is already a fucking given at the end of episode 3
Is there any chance of the JoJo anime continuing to parts 4-7?
Well, I don't mind it, its not annoying. The relationship between the siblings is really unique.They should have divided the loli fanservice to Mahouka as well then.
I really enjoyed the show. Particularly because of Mashiro but Benio and Kobeni were awesome too.
BECAUSE OTP.
All the complaints I have with the show, which are similar to yours, goes back to it's manga material. The plot progression is teeerrrrrrrrible. It's meant to be cheap and frustrating in the way it baits and panders to the audience with "will they, won't they" nonsense. It's the biggest issue Nisekoi has.
Taking that into account, I'm enjoying everything else about it. The voice acting, art style, Shaft-isms, and especially the humor.
Oh god. tonight at work is going to be all kinds of horrible.
I need more Cute.
Well, I don't mind it, its not annoying. The relationship between the siblings is really unique.
Well, we see her often naked partly due him sitting near. [] are the protagonists, but we take Soras perspective for the most part. But yeah, I may missed your point. What I wanted to say is: I don't mind the fanservice. Not really into lolis, but hell, when it comes to anime this is very tame and we get less booby jokes. Oh, how I resent boob jokes. Always the same stuff.I don't really get what the relationship has to do with naked lolis.
You're living the anime life.I just realized I'm watching two different shows with a "sister" character who is head over heels for her "onii-chan" and seems like they'd yandere the hell out of any girl that gets close to them.

I certainly don't think that it's ok.
I just said that by moving fast this was "entertaining" because there was no low points.
In those 4 eps , there was No point that you could call "calm" ..something was always happenning , keeping the viewer intrested.
I wish they could have time to advance the events slowly , but sometimes you just don't have the time.
No ,
Enju identity crisis served as a wide array of data for world building , exposition to the various stance in place concerning the social status of the "children".It would be very hard to accept that she doesn't go to school , "just because" ...Here they show you the various degree of acceptance for them in society ( almost none ) and the road theyt have to travel to get there ... it's part of the overall plot and narrative and it certainly wasn't meant to be solved since it was clearly discrimination.
Ep4 ending confirmed the end of ep 3 but they did it with forshadowing of more events to come. So by this point it's obvious that more is coming .. so it's prematture to call this part irrevelant when it reached his goal ( couple is reunited ) while providing enough info to understand the universe in question.
I'll also disagree that it was used as a trigger for the antagonist only.
As the antagonist was already set-up and in place BEFORE they met the protagonists and only adapted his plans because they met them ( outside of the whole sub plot ).
The rumour that started this sub plot was nothing but a "gift" , a point to be made and they didn't fought only because of this event but because the antagonist plan was a threat as a whole. Seeing as both met in the appartment in episode 1 , and that everything started at this point. i'm going to say that the side story has done his purpose , that is to shuffle the cards for everyone .

Also, I'm convinced that Tuxedo Mask's role is just to troll the hell out of Sailor Moon..
