Review of Blood Blockade Battlefront

I wasn't sure at first whether I should watch Kekkai Sensen, but I just gave it a try - and I did not regret it! This series is wonderful, in my opinion. It really entertained me and motivated me to watch on. The art is stunning, especially the environment and athmosphere. The music used shows much variety: Cool and energetic background soundtracks, relaxing vocal pieces, even classical music! It is fantasic to see such a great range of different styles in one series. The usage of the songs is also interesting, as they occasionally combined them with scenes that would typically not be thought to fit together withsuch music. But for this series, I found this idea great, as it adds to the weirdness and abnormality that is assiciated with the anime's setting.

The story might be a bit confusing at first, as it is not your typical linear storyline.
Basically, this series provides a mix of slice-of-live/comedy and action. It may seem incoherent and confusing to some, but the episodic structure actually gives a great feeling, enabling the viewer to observe the not-so-normal daily lives of the different characters in the chaotic and fantastic town, and to feel as if they were a part of it.
Still, important story elements are spread over many episodes, and remembering and combining them at the end was something I personally really enjoyed.

To conclude, I would recommend Kekkai Sensen to anyone who does not necessarily need an obvious and linear storyline to enjoy a series. Thanks to the setting, art, music, and many other aspects, it surely never becomes boring!
