B: The Beginning

There are several motivations to watch this anime. First of all, this show takes risks that can never be seen in any anime. The main subject is really interesting. Furthermore, the main visions behind the main topic are not similar to other animes. The language that has been used is more lifelike, I assume. The second cause is the characters are very well-written. To give an example, the detective who is a ''real adult'' has real-life concerns. In animes, I like its association with the real world. Nevertheless, the story has superpowers too. However, it doesn't affect the fact that it is real. Lastly, the ending music is the best song I have ever heard in a while. Frankly, its meaning is better than most of the animes. Hence, I advise you to listen to it very hard. Taking everything into account, there are many reasons to watch this show.

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.

B: The Beginning is very in-keeping with modern television. Excellent production quality, an intriguing title sequence (like in GoT or Westworld) and a score which is both quality and well suited to the genre. The story is engaging with an interesting blend of crime-drama, gore, and the supernatural. Why I imagine many people would draw comparisons to death note. You may do this if you wish, but you'll be disappointed, they are very different stories, and admittedly this is not as good as death note, but let's be clear, few stories are. There are a lot of questions this anime fails to answer or does so too late for the audience to really appreciate certain parts of the story. A second season exploring the lore would certainly be helpful, but for what it is, 'B: The Beginning' is an enjoyable and fun series. I urge you to give it a go.

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.

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.
