And it's a problem? Japan-US collab has been around for quite a while. Hell, we have an anime written by STAN LEE that will air next month. Not to mention the main staff are mostly going to be Japanese anyway.

The only thing that can be considered as "new" is the fact that it's the first time Netflix actually use big name Japanese studio.

Funny thing that previous Stan Lee's anime is still not licenced in U.S.A

I.G. actually brought a PV for this to A/X. Looked very dark and graphically violent.

This anime title is called 'B: The Beginning".

Thread title changed.

I actually wasn't interested in this anime, until 12 seconds into the PV. So what you're saying, there's a chance that the younger guy and the girl might be childhood friends?

Seriously speaking though, I do wonder if this is a binge series like ReLife or if it will air 1 episode per week. I'm hoping it's the latter so that it sets a precedent for all future Netflix licensed anime. I'm just too lazy to sail the high seas nowadays unless it's a series I MUST watch, and Netflix in particular would have been so much better as a platform if they didn't adhere to binge watching so much.

kuromitsu · 2017-12-04, 08:16

Well, I'm vaguely interested. At least this PV doesn't look too tryhard or pretentious.

bakato · 2018-03-02, 18:52

It's out! Less than an episode in and it looks amazing. Fluid animation, great action scenes, and all oozing plenty of character and chemistry. Lily is easily Need for Speed-tier.

DemonneoPT · 2018-03-03, 22:53

Netflix is going hard on anime!!! First Devilman and now this fantastic series. It's a rare sight to have a sci-fi/fantasy story without being polluted by fanservice, moe and otaku oriented bs these days. I like some of those too, but the market is way too saturated with the same thing. I'm really happy to see anime being more diverse and with such high production values. Seriously, the animation is insane. Not only in the action scenes but also in the backgrounds and in the character's movements. 12 episodes of pure greatness!

I liked the story too. Largely because of the main characters. Genie, Koku and Lily had plenty of chemistry and cool personalities. Boris was funny too. No romantic triangles or shippings to bait the wrong audience either, just something faithful to it's genre. A mystery thriller regarding a shady organization and Genie and Koku's past. Not the greatest or the most original plot ever but it was fun. It was a shame they didn't focused a bit more regarding the origins of the ancient "divine" bones tho. Maybe in the season 2? Anyway, it looks like i can trust in Netflix to deliver quality old school anime. I will follow every new show from them for now on.

bakato · 2018-03-03, 23:44

Definitely a strong entry by Netflix. Season 2 guaranteed, but seriously I have to say they really are fond of the hidden mastermind trope. The fact that Koku never got the other eye is gonna be a sore spot for me for the next week, but I guess it was the only way to break the prophecy. Hopefully season 2 will give us more Yuna, who was nothing more than a damsel in distress for the entire season.

RDNexus · 2018-03-04, 07:50

Just like @bakato, Ep01 was enough to make me want to binge-watch the whole season. And that Season2 hint...just bring it on!
I'm not sure what may come next, since Koku's and Keith's personal arcs seemed to be as much as done with. Gotta wait and see.

MeoTwister5 · 2018-03-04, 08:11

Did they release the entire thing? I typically DO NOT do Netflix binges like you normal people.

DemonneoPT · 2018-03-04, 08:36

Yes, the 12 episodes are already available to watch. No need to force yourself to binge-watch the whole season tho xD. I personally had the time and couldn't stop watching it, so it kinda happened..lol

PhoenixRising · 2018-03-04, 09:50

I binged watch the series too, it was incredible!
I loved the music and the background writing about each character's thoughts. Keith's and Koku's characters were really interesting.

I really hope there's a season 2, because I want to see more of Yuna's character.
