Black Bullet is a 2014 science fiction Japanese anime series based on the light novels written by Shiden Kanzaki and illustrated by Saki Ukai.[1] In the year 2021 a biological agent known as the Gastrea Virus suddenly appeared and decimated most of the planet's population. After ten years of living in fear, humanity utilizes a newly discovered metal called Varanium to construct numerous monolithic structures which defend against the virus. Born into a world on the brink of collapse, Promoter Rentaro Satomi and the ten-year-old Initiator Enju Aihara of the Tendo Civil Security Agency work dangerous missions, in the hope to one day liberate humanity from the terror of the Gastrea Virus.[2]

The anime is produced by Kinema Citrus and directed by Masayuki Kojima, with script writing by Tatsuhiko Urahata, character designs by Chiho Umishima and sound track music by Shirō Sagisu.[3] The series was broadcast on AT-X from April 8 to July 1, 2014 with later airings on Tokyo MX, SUN, KBS, tvk, TVA and BS11 along with online streaming on Niconico.[4] The series was picked up by Crunchyroll for online simulcast streaming in North America and other select parts of the world.[5] NBCUniversal Entertainment began releasing the series in Japan on Blu-ray and DVD volumes starting on July 2, 2014.[6] The anime was licensed by Sentai Filmworks for distribution via select digital outlets and a home media release in North America.[7][8] The series was also acquired by Hanabee Entertainment for release in Australia.[9][10]
