    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!

    Who needs giant mechas in ordinary life in extraordinary world

    Main protagonist gets bullied almost everyday including his guardian/colleague which reflects some of us but use his superpower/non muscle type+a limiter for the greater good but still focusing on importance of teamwork(I'm too tired watching overpowered protagonists growing from an idiot to a champion thanks to hero's journey guidelines). Not much tense watching each episode as no need to cringe what the antagonist would do in the finale. Exciting adventure from a typical everyday routine to places out of the world. It's not depressing watching each episode, sad yes but not depressive for some deaths/goodbyes. unexpected happy endings for victims/friends is a satisfaction (really hate barb's death in stranger things). I almost forget the soundtracks are great, mix very well with the mood. if there's season 3, i hope characters' bios pop up have bigger fonts for non nihongo speakers.

    Wonderfully creative alternative Earth fantasy/sci-fi.

    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.

    Interesting story that is often ignored.

    Three years earlier, a gateway to the other world opened in New York. With that, the separation of the two worlds was broken and New York became Hellsalem's Lot. In this infernal melting pot, humans meet monsters, everyday life meets the paranormal. To create a balance between the two sides, the secret society Libra was formed. Through a misunderstanding, the photographer Leonardo Watch ends up in this society. Leonardo received an all-seeing eye from one of the mysterious monsters - at the expense of his sister, who is now blind.

    "Blood Blockade Battlefront" has an interesting story lined with impressive battle scenes and is quite funny here and there.

    Like others here in the comments, I unfortunately have to say that the story is unfortunately very often ignored, so that you later have problems finding a connection to it again.

    Unexpected upbringing

    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.
