B: The Beginning

Pretty interesting, smart and somehow extremely sad is an interrupted childhood tale, there is no rush enjoy the ride.

It was really good and had a solid story line but they squeezed it into 12 episodes and missed out some important bits that needed to be shown.

If you liked Death Note, although not as great, this anime has some interesting twists and supernatural points to it that will entertain you. Some small plot holes, but overall very well put together, you can tell they had a very decent budget set aside for this as opposed to some of the recently released anime in Japan in general. Conclusion: great way to pass time and definitely a must watch for anime lovers!

There are numerous plot points, parallel and intersecting story arcs, and murder mysteries to be solved past and present. But the show doesn't slow down to develop the characters, let them breathe, or provide the viewer any puzzles to ponder. Instead, new conflicts are introduced as quickly as they are solved, and nothing feels like it's at stake.

I would come out and say that this is one of the better anime shows currently airing on Netflix. As an avid fan of horror and mystery, I felt that this show resonated with me and kept me anxious and anticipating. This show suffers from a lot of things happening at the same time that you start to lose track of a few key plot lines. But it does not lose traction and the climax is satisfying enough to tie all the loose ends towards the end of the last episode. The characters are some of the most well written ones in recent anime history. The two main characters, Kieth and B aka (Thirteen) have enough depth to them to make the audience feel their despair. Kieth in particular battling his past and inner demons in search of the truth reminded me of Spike Speigel of the Cowboy bebop fame. The way he is laid back and the complex decisions he makes through out the series is almost similar. I got cowboy bebop vibes when ever Kieth was on the screen. The other characters Lily and the two main antogonists of the show are no slouches either. You genuinely feel their motives and the force that drives them. I would give the characters 10/10.

As a big Anime fan, I felt that this show ticks all the boxes. Production was really good, animation and soundtrack were expertly executed and to top it all off the story was really engaging. What more can you ask for.
