To be perfectly honest, I liked the way Kinema Citrus animated it. The CGI was a nice addition, and the soundtrack/SFX were amazing. The story was a bit too rushed, but compare it to something like Attack on Titan where the first 13 episodes are really slow and not as interesting. You have to find a proper balance, which is difficult, especially when considering stuff like animation budget. Sure, Black Bullet could have used a bit more in the character development part (especially to shut up the feminists who whine about sexualized loli), but they did pretty good with the time they had. They did at least explain that Enju loves Rentaro because he is the only person who has treated her with respect, and not just because she has a childish crush on him. Plus as it is, Enju is a lovable character from episode 1.

By content alone, Black Bullet is supposed to be a tearjerker, like Clannad or Angel Beats. The story is also pretty deep, as Dark Paladin X explained previously. They need to slow it up a lot and touch on the backstories of the cursed children a lot more. The bombing scene should have taken everyones hearts out of their chests, dipped them in liquid nitrogen, and pounded the shit out of them with a meat tenderizer. Wasn't the case for everyone though.

Season 2 would need another novel release before there was enough content available for the story. I'd rather wait for the story to be there and have the release be spectacular, like the Index/Railgun series.
