May 22, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Caitlin Moore The Daily Dot The thing about a show like this is that it's super easy to keep watching it, even when your enjoyment level never consistently gets past 'pretty good'. May 22, 2019 | Full Review… Kayleigh Donaldson Pajiba Directed by Kazuto Nakazawa and Yoshiki Yamakawa, B: the Beginning combines some of the best elements of anime and the crime drama subgenre. May 22, 2019 | Full Review… Kayla Cobb Decider Is "B: The Beginning" a crime procedural or a fantasy? After a binge session through its 12-episode first season, I'm still not sure. The series seems to have trouble reconciling the two. Mar 15, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Matt Schley Japan Times Violent anime mystery has cursing, convoluted storylines. Mar 13, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Netflix's B: The Beginning is a visually stunning anime with awesome action sequences and memorable heroes. While the villains are forgettable at times, the series is filled with enough mystery and intrigue that left me wanting more. Mar 6, 2018 | Rating: 7.8/10 | Full Review… David Griffin IGN Movies View All Critic Reviews (6) Audience Reviews for B: The Beginning: Season 1 Oct 30, 2019 Lost my initial review having to confirm my email, since I'm making this account to submit this meaningless review. And since It's not worth retyping it, here's a summary: This was some super edgy, over the top with predictable clichés (especially troupes), absolute garbage of a show. Not even worth being background noise. Having seen over 500 anime shows, there are now only two I absolutely dislike (this one and "Aldnoah.Zero"), which sure says something about it being a 2018 show and all. What drove me to watch it all was because I have been checking out every Netflix original anime series. Each one before this one has so far been from decently enjoyable to epic. Then with this poorly done trash... Again, not worth redoing my whole opinion. Poorly done show with just BS concept after BS concept, with little to no explanation/background on any of it, being stacked to feign some kind of random plot. That's the gist of it. Ed R Mar 19, 2019 Love this show can�Â?Â?t wait for season 2 Caleb H Feb 12, 2019 honestly, this is one of the best animes I've watched in a while. the way it blends the two story lines together, while still keeping them as their own stories. and the fight scenes, jesus christ, the fight scenes. succinct and startlingly beautiful. the whole show is just beautifully animated, with a beautiful score and a beautiful story. Jan 15, 2019 Good animation, good fight scenes. The story could have been amazing but it feels not fully thought out Dec 03, 2018 A promising start unfolds into a cliched, disjointed ending that resolves nothing. Richard P Jul 23, 2018 Great the animation, characters, music, and atmosphere. The plot was a little lose this time around, but they clearly made a strong effort and i'm sure the studio will do better next time. Overall a dark edgy, and fresh show with a lot of heart. Jonathan S May 22, 2018 Great production quality, gripping magical realism storyline. On par with live action police procedurals. Daniel C May 20, 2018 The ending is one of my favorites in all of anime. I had no idea what was going to happen, because with this show, anything could have happened. I'm glad it ended the way it did. Also, the animation was perfect, and the ending theme song is going straight to my playlist. One of the best anime I have seen in a while. Mar 24, 2018 best anime i have seen in 3 years, makes me want to see it twice Mar 10, 2018 The plot is a biT confusing at the beginning but then it Become clearer... nice anime Horacio R See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
