Kekkai Sensen

Supersonic monkeys, vampires, talking fishmen, and all sorts of different supernatural monsters living alongside humans—this has been part of daily life in Hellsalem's Lot, formerly known as New York City, for some time now. When a gateway between Earth and the Beyond opened three years ago, New Yorkers and creatures from the other dimension alike were trapped in an impenetrable bubble and were forced to live together. Libra is a secret organization composed of eccentrics and superhumans, tasked with keeping order in the city and making sure that chaos doesn't spread to the rest of the world.

Pursuing photography as a hobby, Leonardo Watch is living a normal life with his parents and sister. But when he obtains the "All-seeing Eyes of the Gods" at the expense of his sister's eyesight, he goes to Hellsalem's Lot in order to help her by finding answers about the mysterious powers he received. He soon runs into Libra, and when Leo unexpectedly joins their ranks, he gets more than what he bargained for. Kekkai Sensen follows Leo's misadventures in the strangest place on Earth with his equally strange comrades—as the ordinary boy unwittingly sees his life take a turn for the extraordinary.

The story is pretty straightforward but explores many themes and ideas, helped by how these elements work together. Even though the different parts may seem unrelated at first, the story manages to connect them all.

There are countless things one could mention about a series like this, but the best way to appreciate it is by watching it yourself. If you're ready to dive into a mix of hope and madness, this is the anime for you. Its experimental animation style, fragmented storytelling, surreal setting, and atmospheric music captivate the viewer, creating an intense immersion experience.

The ending of this series has the best song, literally one ... of the best ED I've ever seen.

Mixed Feelings

I feel like I forced myself to complete the anime tbh. The anime lacked clarity in so many things and you can barely understand most of the events happening. It just feels like you missed something and I kept on replaying in an attempt to see what had I missed.

They wanted to make the main character as someone who has high values other than his eyes bla bla .. but none of that was actually portrayed, everything they say to make him all the more valuable member of Libra I found to be a cliche just to make him sound more heroic!

Not Recommended

As an avid anime fan, I was excited to dive into Blood Blockade Battlefront, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The plot was convoluted and confusing, with too many characters and subplots that never fully developed. The animation was lackluster, with choppy movements and uninspired designs. The voice acting was also subpar, with flat performances that failed to bring the characters to life.

The main character, Leonardo Watch, was particularly disappointing. He lacked depth and personality, making it difficult to care about his journey. The supporting cast was equally unremarkable, with forgettable personalities and uninteresting backstories.

The action scenes were the only redeeming quality of ... the show, but even they were few and far between. The pacing was slow, with long stretches of exposition and dialogue that failed to hold my attention.

Overall, Blood Blockade Battlefront was a forgettable anime that failed to leave a lasting impression. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling story or engaging characters. 3/10
