All the action-heavy episodes were rushed. I'm sure the more daily life ones were also rushed though. There was more emphasis in the LNs. Can't be helped. That's the mistake of giving complicated LN series a one-cour anime without much into coming of a sequel when it has released 7 volumes as well. It is a sure-fire way of increasing LN and manga sales + popularity but sadly at the cost of story. And if you think this means that series that have run for much longer and have more obvious popularity and sales will get good anime, then you are mistaken. That also depends on the anime team/studio doing it.

Another good example I bring up is Unbreakable Machine-doll. It is more fast-paced than Black Bullet in terms of time-intervals at least since very little time passed between certain arcs but it would have done the story justice to receive a two-cour anime instead. I was immensely disappointed to discover it was only one-cour. Though in regards to the anime, I do have other complaints but overall I enjoyed it even with the rather acquired taste artstyle that handled emotions in a weird manner. It too used CGI and booming soundtrack for the fights much like this. I'd rate both of them almost the same in terms of being "adaptations" if not for Black Bullet fights being way too rushed.

Also did anyone notice how there appears to be gastrea according to region? Not sure how it is explained in the LNs but I'm sure that it is weird that almost 90% of the gastrea in the current battle are insect-type while in the previous battle they were mostly mammal-like-reptile type that looked almost the exact same. Wasn't it a thing that the precise species(physical appearance) varies a lot despite being infected by a particular species? Many looked identical. Again, not sure if that is lazy or just following the LNs.
