Very hard to follow plot wise, storytelling isn't that great, and too much exposition or info dumping (0 more)
Killer B - 6/10
B: The Beginning is an anime series produced by Production I.G. and directed by Kazuto Nakazawa and Yoshiki Yamakawa. Nakazawa designed the characters and served as key animation supervisor. Both Nakazawa and Yamakawa wrote scripts and Yoshihiro Ike composed the music.


In the fictional European archipelago nation of Cremona, Keith Flick, a brilliant ex detective, returns to the force from years of isolation. He is assisting the local police, the R.I.S. (Royal Investigation Service), with an investigation involving a series of killings by a man they have named "Killer B". Meanwhile a mysterious criminal organization (Market Maker) with a hidden agenda steals a prototype weapon and has the authorities overwhelmed going on a rampage. Koku, a seemingly normal young man, has supernatural powers and knowledge the organization exists, He is going after them with a singular purpose, to find someone he lost long ago and nothing will stop him.


This anime was very hard to follow. I liked the whole two intertwining storylines and eventually they intersect and things do make sense, i just wished it was better thought out or planned. The concept had me intrigued and the animation is really quite a visual treat. The action is also top notch right along with the animation. I really liked it, but like i said it's pretty hard to follow. If you are looking for an anime with good action and a plot that will have you thinking this would be it. It does have it's flaws though, like the storytelling isn't that great and there is a lot of dialogue exposition (characters just info dumping) but towards the end it all comes together. If you make it that far. I wouldn't give it my seal of approval but if your bored and haven't seen it, it'll definitely keep you entertained. I give it a 6/10.

Unfortunatly I could not finish this book, from the first line I knew I wouldn't like it and I didnt get any further then page 40, reading the blurb at the back this book really appealed to me, it was supposed be kind of supernatral, what with it being about the the keeper of the river styx and him trying to overthrow god, and I get that it is around a group of junkies but the writing style was just jumbled and scattered and most of the time it just confused the hell out of me, random little seperate sentences in the middle of the paragraph which really made no sense were put in and that did it for me I just had enough of the inane writing style and awful story telling.
But that is just my view, I am sure that kind of writing style and storytelling appeal to other people just not me.
I would not recommend it.
