To my eyes I never saw the sign when you're something that I just wish I were, it was fascinating in its own way nevertheless the surname I actually took my time seeing a story line is kind of intriguing when you're a stranger in a foreign City get here, trying to make a living off something that you didn't even think existed now that your job if I to protect the world from this chaos, with this newfound power he became something else that's all Tilly I don't even know why this is Caroline always enjoy the side of my ex and I was hoping whatever is waiting my coming right now if I give you my opinion right now should actually taken at this she will not be disappointed.

Honestly I would've preferred if the whole series wasn't split up into damn 2 seasons that had completely different stories, different themes, different opening/closing songs and different characters. Now the English Dub cast were pretty decent but the sudden shift of the two different seasons just didn't match well to my tastebuds.

This anime series was disappointing in the end to say the least...

The Alt-Earth New York City and it's citizens are fascinating due in large part to their diversity to say nothing of the Laissez faire attitude they share, unfazed by the majority of the insanity going on around them.

"BBB" has engaging characters, a fantastic world and a pretty interesting story, would love to see a 3rd season as it's one of my favorites, and remains so even on the 2nd watch.

Pros:

• Colorful characters with some depth.
• Unique world.
• Higher level of art and imagery than average.
• Quality and consistent animation.
• Engaging story.
• Power comes with a price.
• Good range of emotions, from humor to heartache.
• Above average English dubbing.
• Story arcs have resolution.
• Success is is often bittersweet.
• Every episode feeds into the main Arc in one way or another (1st Season).
• Great soundtrack.

Cons:

• Some of the alternative animations to show emotion etc can be a bit cheesy.
• OVA's a huge pain to find, and don't have dubbed versions at the moment.
• Like many anime's the 2nd season is weaker.

This series can be used as a symbol of Japanese animation in all aspects far beyond American animation (and of course all other parts of the world) - IN ALL RESPECTS!

This review will cover both both the first and second season as a whole. This show is comparable to "Men in Black", where New York City has both humans and supernatural beings interacting with each other. The main character, with a useful ability given to him under tragic circumstances, joins a group dedicated to maintaining order and balance in the city by taking down the baddies.

This show to me is the perfect balance of the stereotypes of an over the top shounen with stylistic action, while also grounding the story in a somewhat realistic setting. The action is not the focus of the show, it is the unique characters that make up the group. The action is the icing on the cake done brilliantly by Studio Bones as always. It also features one of the best scores in all of anime, featuring appropriate jazz tunes you would think were straight from Cowboy Bebop.

Every episode expands on the city they inhabit and also the characters' background and motives. It is mostly episodic, but has a feel of linear storytelling as the characters change and evolve. The show goes back and forth between comedy and drama, depending on the situation a character is in. One episode (#5) is one of my favorite stand alone episodes in all of anime.

I wish this show had continued, as this is the type of show that could have 10 seasons worth of material. They set up a world filled with possibilities. However, it's not like the second ends the characters on cliffhangers either.

If you are a fan of shounen, looking for a fun watch, or like bombastic action, you'll likely enjoy this one.
