well call me when they start merking the nazis because right now they're trying to show how cool and cute and badass the nazis are

and when they do i hope the directing isnt total poo poo because scenes transition from one to another with no connective tissue

you're right. the dies irae staff are all nazis, and scene transitions are a jewish conspiracy.

The best thing about BBB is that the setting doesn't feel like "Fantasy New York, but it's really Japan", the setting really feels like fantasy New York.
Even the episode titles are puns of old Hollywood movies(puns based on their JP titles of course)

i think the dies irea complaint is a fair one when ep 1 is nothing but badly written introductions to the (apparently technically not) nazis combined with some awful action scenes

it definitely seemed like a weirder opening than the vn, which apparently just opens from the perspective of a german conscript

form the sounds of it not a lot of people who liked the vn thought it was a good opening ep lol

lol i checked the mal page for the director of dies irae and the comments are just people getting depressed that they picked him to direct it

i was willing to give it a few eps but given that and the weird anime-original opening i'm not sure it's going to get much better

The finale is mostly about anime original characters and if you don't care for them then you probably won't care about the ending. Also when it first aired the final episode came out months after the rest of the show so I think a lot of people haven't seen it because of that

have you watched and liked kyousougiga because if so you will like the anime original stuff in bbb

white is a fun character who has a great dynamic with leonardo and episode 11 is one of the best episodes in the entire show and the end of episode 12 is really great. the bad part is that black is kind of a boring villain to follow and that robs some impact away from the last episode because he's not nearly as flamboyant as any of the other bad guys in the show but i think it's still really great and worth watching and does a good job tying up the themes of the show

It seems like your opinion on the anime original stuff is dependent on whether or not you read the manga. People who only watched the anime had no problem with it, people who read the manga didn't like it.

I didn't hate the anime original stuff in the first season. but if the new season keeps to the episodic nature of the manga, I think I would like that better

i can understand not liking black because he really just isn't a very interesting character on his own and they give him a bit too much screen time at the end

i really really love all the stuff with white though and that's why i get annoyed when people brush it off

I think i watched it but also Rodenthar MemoryTM strikes again and i do not rememeber it.

I ... think i liked it. I'll have to skim ep1 to remember it.

I hate them both and had zero interest in their story and it's resolution :D The first season ended with the lunch run imo.

I thought it was kind of tonally inconsistent in a show where a plotline is resolved by someone getting a boner.

i don't see what is tonally inconsistent about characters created to mirror leo and his sister. the eps didn't suddenly excise doug hummer, zapp, or any of the other sources of random wacky poo poo either. episode 11 is definitely one of the best in the entire series, and that's probably at the point where you will genuinely care about white, whereas before she is only a likable side character. i don't think the manga is some sacred cow that requires we devote all 12 episodes of the anime to adapting its goofy episodic stories, and the black/white stuff basically exists as a second two-parter a la Z's Last Day. all this to say i understand the lovely production delays may have turned people off at the end, but hating the original stuff because its original is dumb.

TBH I assumed Black and White were part of the original manga for exactly that thematic reason. My complaint about 11 & 12 is that I just did not care about what was happening at all. That's due more to Black's weaknesses and the long production delay to be sure, but you know, tough poo poo. Wouldn't be the first anime/manga with a weak arc in there.

The important thing is that the show is back and good.
