In the year 2021, humanity is decimated by a parasitic virus called Gastrea, leaving the inhabitants living in constant fear and despair. Those infected transform into monsters. The survivors are forced to live in different zones, surrounded by monolithic walls made of Varanium, a metal capable of repelling the Gastrea.
From this catastrophe emerged the "Cursed Children," children born with the Gastrea virus but able to control it and live with it. These children develop special abilities linked to the virus. Thus, "Civil Security" agencies are formed to combat the Gastrea. Each group consists of an Initiator, a Cursed Child, and a Promoter, who supervises them.
Ten years after the epidemic, in 2031, Rentarō Satomi, a high school student and Promoter, undertakes missions alongside his Initiator, Enju Aihara, to protect and prevent the destruction of the Tokyo zone.
Black Bullet is a dark action anime about child soldiers, works best in its quieter moments — when it sits with the injustice of how the Cursed Children are treated and what that costs everyone around them. Enju knows what she is. She smiles anyway.
