Review of Blood Blockade Battlefront

Kekkai Sensen, a very complicated, hard to understand, but very unique and nice anime series! Story: 3 Lets start with the story. The story itself was.... well... how should I put it? It was more like I just didn't get it. 90% of the time, I was just trying to understand what was happening, since there wasn't much explanation given plus there was just a lot of randomness. Since it was all very hard to follow, I also had a hard time feeling connected to the characters of the series. Nonetheless, I found the concept and how it was executed very unique and I had never watcheda series like this before.

Art: 10
The art in this series was amazing. They put so much attention to details, from the buildings to the lighting, it was all executed perfectly. I also really liked their color choices. It gave you straight away a good idea of the kind of setting the story played at.

Sound: 8
I also really liked the soundtracks in this series. Just like the art-style, it really suited the setting of this series, which was New York-ish, so I thought it was a good idea to use western style music. The soundtracks also portrayed well the "mood" of the town. If I were to explain what I mean by this, is that in the town were everything happens, the everyday chaos has become "normal" and no one seems to be amazed by it anymore. Just like that, the soundtracks are actually quite chill, compared to the all the chaotic things that happen in this series, which I though was very fitting.

Character: 7
I thought the characters in this series were alright. I liked their character designs and overall, the series had a great cast of voice actors. However, they weren't very special in general and I didn't feel really attached to them, especially to the side characters. This could also be because of the chaotic story and because you don't get any background stories, except a little bit from the main protagonist and the main antagonist. I did like the main character though. I liked how his character wasn't over the top and how he could stay calm in every situation, again fitting well with the concept of the series.

Enjoyment: 6
I did really like the concept of this series. I found it very unique and enjoyable. However, I think it could've been executed much better, if they made it less chaotic and a bit easier to understand for the audience. Like I said before, I was most of the time just trying the understand what was happening and I think at some point I just gave up on trying to understand. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed watching it because of its unique concept, the mix between cheerfulness and chaos and western style setting.

So overall, I give this series a 7. I would recommend it, if you're looking for something unique to watch and would like to see something out of the box. As I said, the art is great, so much that I got amazed by it a couple of times and I also got surprised pleasantly multiple times by their choice of music. However, I have to warn you, there isn't much to understand in this series, so if you decide to watch it, don't try too hard to get it and just enjoy ;)
