Dec 24, 2017 NoizyFrog Mixed Feelings The second season of Kekkai Sensen is more of the same show from 2015. If you liked the first season, you will probably like this one as well. If you did not like the first season, chances are high your opinion will not change. Style over substance - the anime. STORY: Bizarre, aimless and minimalistic. Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 23, 2017 Stark700 Recommended Watching some over the top action anime these days can really fill anyone with a dose of popcorn entertainment. There’s popular Marvel based movies coming out each year, book adaptations that turned into cultural influence, and iconic Hollywood stars that made history in the film industry. Then, there was Kekkai Sensen. Remember Spring 2015? Among the many action based shows, Kekkai Sensen stood out as a show that stylized action and violence to present a storyteller of supernatural gimmicks. Well guess what? Bones is back at it again and made sure that Kekkai Sensen is here to talk about for 2017. I’m not going to lie. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 24, 2017 Vyxria Mixed Feelings [Re-Submission] I'd just like to get it out of the way that I'm watching this hot off the heels of the first season, as I binged the first and second season in about a day. The details of which are still very fresh in my mind. This is also the second season of Kekkai Sensen, so I'm assuming you're familiar with the story. Why does Kekkai Sensen 2 fail as a sequel? To put it bluntly, it's because this season is much more episodic in nature. In the first season, almost every episode leading up ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 23, 2017 Nurguburu Not Recommended Story (2/10) Except for the last two episodes, there is no plot in none of the 10 episodes. Some are just background of Libra members (4,6,7), others are nonsense ( 1,8,9) and some are rushed (2,3,10). The episodes 8 and 9 are the worst of the season. The episodic episodes feels like a bunch of OVA mixed together. Art (7/10) In this aspect the show in much better than the other options. The fights have very good animation and the colour is beautiful. Sound (6/10) ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 3, 2017 chekkit Mixed Feelings Preliminary (9/12 eps) I was honestly, truly looking forward to the new kekkai sensen season. My friend and I absolutely adored the first season. It had the right amount of craziness and enough plot to keep us going. Because of how great the first season was, we both went into this with high expectations. But this season... has been a train wreck. With only 3 episodes left, I have very little hope that there's going to be a truly satisfying ending. Seeing the preview for the next episode even further solidifies my feeling. The format has been that of an episodic anime, where something that happens in one episode doesn't ...

Oct 29, 2017 BlueEclispe Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) The first season of this show is one of my favorites of all time. The wild and crazy antics that Leo goes through on top of a deeply connected story was amazing so I had high hopes coming into this. The story is basically about the aftermath of a fallout which connected new york to another world to state it quickly. This season lacks the continuity that the first season had. It is more like a series of OVAs so far. The show also feels toned down compared to the first season the antics aren't as frequent or heavy but they are still there and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 30, 2017 joschmo11 Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) Kekkai Sensen is... a fairly unique show by today's standards. It fills a niche category that doesn't pop up every season, and is even more rarely well done: that of the episodic action series. Instead of a linear plotline, Kekkai Sensen instead focuses on worldbuilding through mostly one-off episodes, shifting its focal point to different characters around the protagonist in order to further pull you, the viewer, into their world. While this style alienates some viewers of the show, for me it reminds me of the first season of Darker than Black, a series I greatly enjoyed (we don't talk about the second season). While ...

Dec 23, 2017 LegendAqua Recommended Kekkai Sensen & Beyond or Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond or BBB & B is back! (That's alot of B's) The very first thing LA would mention about this second season is the absences of Rie Matsumoto, the director of the first season who brought that zany flair she added to Kekkai Sensen that will be sorely missed in this season but nonetheless, this season helmed by Shigehito Takayanagi (Director of Dagashi Kashi and both season of The World God Only Knows) tries to emulate Rie's vision in his own way as well as pay respects to Rie all into this second season with great results. For ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 29, 2017 LordFabio Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) Okay incoming 1 episode reviewer here, don't take me too seriously: HA this is shit BUT IT'S GREAT. This is approved by someone with S1 in his top 5 favorites. I'll be honest: This season is 100% imitations of Rie Matsumoto's OG style for season 1and no lie; it's only 1 ep in so I may be completely wrong but this style is everything I wanted in a second season against all my expectations WOOP... Okay well MAL requires me to submit a longer review so I will, just give some of my general thoughts to please the overlords. But here's my general idea after watching just ...

Dec 28, 2017 Kitsune_Goon Recommended There's a lot of reviews on the frontpage that seem to point a pretty negative light on this second season of Kekkai Sensen, and while the points they bring up are valid, I feel like judging Kekkai Sensen based off a conventional anime framework doesn't really do it justice, especially considering how ambitious it is as a series. Story: This anime is episodic and unlike the first season which developed the plot throughout the season, the second season only contributes to the main plot in the last two episodes. This is perfectly fine as Kekkai Sensen at its absolute best is 1-2 episodes per arc. The ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 28, 2017 Fahiemoon Recommended Awesome sequel to season 1, I have to say I preferred this season a lot more to season 1. Like season 1, there was a great selection of BGM and OP/ED, which reflect the mood of the anime. The way in which the soundtrack was woven into the animation alone should be reason for watching this sequel Some of its downfalls are that the finale of the anime didn't have a lot of foreshadowing to it (technically hints were dropped since season 1, but this could have been with more emphasis). Would also have loved to learn more about the power he was given and why ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 23, 2017 Injenss Recommended To be fair, I am biased towards this anime. I loved the first season of it, because it was so off-the-wall and against every standard, run-of-the-mill series you generally see out of the industry today. No high schools, no love triangles, no moe, no cliffhangers, no training regimens, no by-the-numbers plot. The anime is absolutely insane, disjointed, bizarre, and creative, while still being able to deliver a cohesive storytelling experience, which excellent characters, tons of over-the-top action, and a main character in Leo Watch, that while weak, isn't too weak to be annoying and will man up when need be.

Mar 13, 2023 Slick-Sama Mixed Feelings Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond is a series that follows the adventures of a group of super-powered individuals who protect the city of Hellsalem's Lot from various supernatural threats. The series is a sequel to the original Blood Blockade Battlefront anime and features the same cast of characters. The animation and art style of the series are visually stunning, with vibrant colors and detailed character designs. The action scenes are well choreographed and exciting to watch, with a good mix of hand-to-hand combat and supernatural powers. However, the plot of the series can be confusing and disjointed at times, with several storylines and subplots that don't always ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 28, 2017 Aikii-kun Recommended Hellsalem's Lot - the city where the human world and the alterworld intersects. Commotions are never bizarre in the city's everyday life as a plethora of different creatures crawl upon it. As two "distinct" worlds collide, a secret organization, Libra, maintains the balance of these two realms. After White sacrificed herself to protect the barriers of Hellsalem's Lot, what destiny lies upon the men behind Libra? Kekkai Sensen & Beyond starts after the events of the Spring 2015 anime Kekkai Sensen, with Leonardo Watch continuing his daily life in Hellsalem's Lot to support his younger sister Michella. Traversing every weirdness this city has to offer, he ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 23, 2017 TylerPilz Recommended Season 2 is over. I had ups and downs with this season, but the ending shows it again: I just love Kekkai Sensen. The comedy, the action... just a very cool combination! This Season focused on Backgroundstorys and other Characters. Yes, it was a little annoying to see little stories and not a big one. BUT all these parts made a really overall season. Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 24, 2017 Magical_Yang Recommended I Prefer to call this season to be a long OVA between season 1 and season 2 (if ever comes). There probably will be people who expected the story of the anime to go on more seriously and wanted the anime to be more focused on the main story line in this season. In that case they will be disappointed because most of the episodes are about characters and their own personal stuff and the writer is trying to get us to feel more close to the characters.A reason maybe that we couldn't find the time to know most of them in the first season because ...

Jul 19, 2021 C_y_a_ Not Recommended This anime is probably one of the hardest things I've had to watch. Story: I thought the story was fine until the last three episodes they were just huge misses for me. Art: This seasons only redeeming factor is the blood arts. Leos eyes are also super nice looking. Sound: They didn't mess up on sound. Character: I think the mc's reason for not using his eyes is kind of bad. Zapp is hard to watch a most the time and b/c they're the most frequent characters. Enjoyment: WHY? WHY did the three episodes have to be what they were. Don't have children if you're an assassin. Don't marry men ... Read more Open Gift Report

Jun 20, 2018 Oriotiar Mixed Feelings If like me,you like the first season and were delighted to see the MC change and expect some modification in his character after: having to fight against people he know and his "girlfriend" being kill. Nope, you will be disappointed, for most of the season it's like White never existed and Leonardo personality is the same as in ep 2 of s1. The episode in themself aren't that bad but they feel like a bunch of OVA and you can probably see them in whatever order you want, but while some are decent some just feel like filler and see no character or plot devlopement. ...
