B: The Beginning

B: The Beginning is another good Netflix original anime series next to Devilman Crybaby and a warm return of the mature crime genre that seem to be very underappreciated in today anime scene when now it all about what kind of creature or race the main character will turn into in another world or who is the best girl/boy of the season. I think this anime got a great potential to be a long running series and with the the after credit of episode 12 a second season may not be so far away in the future but as much as I enjoyed the story and it top notch animation I still think the plotline about "Adam and Eva" super cliché and it will be much more interesting if the director and the writer decided to focus solely on Keith and dedicate a whole season on his past live cause he is the soul of this anime not those edgy wannabe Jesus kids

Alright so, I made an account just to review this since I saw the hate it was getting. Ignore all of the noise, sit down and watch this amazing series.

B: The Beggining took me by surprise, I saw Netflix had released a new anime and since Devilman was a nice surprise I decided to watch it. And oh boy I am so glad I did, B is carefully crafted and feels more like an actual series than an anime at times, sure, the over the top fight sequences with cheesy anime music are there but the direction is certainly something new.

I don´t want to say anything else than go watch this now, anime fan or not you might REALLY enjoy this.

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

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.

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.
