@Omega natsu2 Well, this is actually the problem for most light novel based anime adaptations. Light novels (especially ones that involve a lot of world building exposition like Black Bullet) are known to write a lot of exposition and main character's inner dialouge. Also, light novels, when compared to manga, don't have a lot of visuals to work with.

Because of these factors, most anime based out of light novels will cut out a lot of stuff from the light novels, normally the world building exposition. Now, there are some good light novel based anime adaptations like A Certain Magical Index and Fate/Zero, but the fact that light novels usually don't have a lot of visuals when compared to manga makes it hard to adopt light novels into anime.

Also, the fact that Black Bullet is considered to be the "most hated anime spring 2014 and Dengeki Bunko title" only applies to the North American anime fanbase. Keep in note that there is a growing number of female anime fans within the North American anime fanbase (especially feminist ones) and many of them see the "moe" or "loli" character archetype to be "a twisted perversion of cuteness" and degrades females as "huggable mary sues" or "sex objects." In fact, most of the criticism of moe doesn't come from the male anime fans in America, but rather from the feminists. That being said, I consider myself as a feminist and I happen to love lolis just for the cuteness.

However, despite Black Bullet looking into social discrimination and racism in regards to cursed children, I probably would not recommend the anime adaptation (or the light novel) to any feminist because the light novel author is known to be a sadist who enjoys killing off lolis (or making lolis suffer like Enju) as shock value and feminists will definitely bee turned off by Enju's precocious crush on Rentaro (due to unfortunate implications of suggesting that Enju wants to have sex with Rentaro). Not to mention, Enju happens to be an emotionally fragile loli that is prone to cry a lot and any time Enju cries is treated as a tear jerker that intends to get an audience reaction of "I want to hug this loli."
