To say the shadow of Matsumoto Rie hung over this season of BBB is hardly an overstatement, because it’s such a huge shadow – that’s how much of a talent she is. And I don’t think one can do one of those about Kekkai Sensen without talking about the first season as well as the current one, because the relationship between the two is fascinating and highly unusual. I’m a bit torn about how much I want to delve into this now and how much I want to save in case (cough) I end up writing about this show again before the year is over, but this is a series review post after all. The thing is, though, that when it comes to Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond the picture gets even more interesting when you step back and look at the larger context. One could focus on that and just that, and talk only about the mechanics of how this series was put together technically and narratively, and have no problem filling up the page. It was a great series in its own terms, another display of why Bones is the best studio in the business in terms of production quality, artistic integrity and consistency. Well, let’s start off by stipulating to this – Kekkai Sensen and Beyond rocked.
