Personally I loved the first season and I can't understand why everyone doesn't seem to like this one. I mean yes this season is just a bridge to a season 3 but the issues that were set up in this one are really interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next.

In this second season we learn a lot more about Keith's psychology and Kokuu's past
I sincerely believe that the outcome of this will be truly amazing and that people should stop complaining. However, it is true that I find it difficult to understand why I made a "bridge" season. When he could ...

As far as I'm concerned—this sequel doesn't exist.

I enjoyed the original B: The Beginning. The ending was okay. They didn't need to make this. It was initially supposed to be a twelve-episode-long sequel, but they trimmed it down to six—at the expense of a coherent story. B was never a tightly written masterpiece, but it was watchable. B: The Beginning Succession is illogical, stupid, boring, and it has a terrible title. Why didn't they call it B: The End? Or B: The Second?!

While watching this sequel, I felt like no one cared. No one cared about the continuity of the show. The action scenes make ...

I enjoyed season one of B: The Beginning and watched it twice. Season two is quite a disappointment because it took three years to release six mediocre episodes. Season two lacks a story, and it almost feels like Production I.G (studio) did not know what to do with the characters.

The only character that I enjoyed this season was Lily Hoshina. Keith Kazama was a joke this season. Keith Kazama Flick was not helpful such as his detective work in season one. The Royal Investigation Service (RIS) characters were not as prominent as season one. I noticed two characters who never got introduced until halfway through ...

B: The Beginning Succession is an underwhelming sequel to the original show. The first season did not exactly set a high bar either, with incredibly poor pacing at the start but overall contained a decent story. Succession suffers from the opposite problem, where the pacing is good but the story itself is rather uninteresting.

I re-watched the first season just before starting the second so that I could better judge this show as a sequel.

This review will assume you have already watched B: The Beginning (the first season).

Story:
We are introduced to many new antagonists but we are never told clearly why they believe in what ...

Preliminary (6/6 eps)

I really do enjoy B the Beginning, the first season was actually the first anime I watched and I loved it, but I'm honestly quite disappointed.
Firstly there are only six episodes so I don't know if there will be more I think so due to the ending which I won't mention. So with little time to explain characters and story it kind a hurts the anime a lot. Season 2 breaks on some foundations set in season 1 literally bringing characters back from the dead which felt basic especially as it does go unexplained.

Some positives from season 2
Lilly is easily the best character, good personality ...

The second season is mostly a clear-cut, save-your-friend, adventure story. There's not much new mystery introduced, with almost all the supernatural strangeness introduced and resolved by the first season. We now know what the characters are capable of, so the surprises in this regard are minimal.

With it only being 6 episodes long, the story is a bit rushed, but the plot is written in such a way that dragging it on would have felt too out of place if they stretched the episode count, but maybe a couple more lead-in episodes could have helped. However, the last episode of the season is a cliffhanger that ...

Well that was disappointing.

As a disclaimer, this is my first review, and I've rushed it out to drop my first thoughts on S2 of B: The Beginning.

For starters, I actually really enjoyed the first season. It took itself seriously, and took a lot of risks--I enjoy shows like this that at least attempt to create an atmosphere and tone from the get-go. Season two discards all of this work made in the first season. The characters are recycled and don't develop much from where they left off in the first season, and the story deteriorates even though the first season was left in a ...

I told my closest friends how ECSTATIC! I was that this season was coming out this month! I RAVED so hard about how great the first season was! I felt nostalgia, which as I age is such a rare and hard emotion to nail down.

And you know what happened? You know what they did? They just took it all away within 20 minutes. What is this? What happened to a killer ED? Who even are these characters anymore?

The first season is slow, especially at the beginning, but this who 6 episode season was just a throwaway story. It never seemed important, ...

B:the beginning is an anime which I really enjoyed it was a great as mystery and anime in general for me and since I felt that the end of the previous season complete it as a story forme so I can't say I had high expectations for this season and now that I finished this season I can say that I was right.Let's start the review spoiler free.The plot of succession is the oposite of the season 1 story with this I mean that while the story of the first season was very good a bit slow start but very good this season though ...

*No Spoilers*
This review is for Part 2 of the anime, B: The Beginning, which is also called “Succession.”

Summary:
B: The Beginning is a crime and fantasy thriller anime initially released on Netflix. Part 2 takes place shortly after Part 1, which was far more interesting than this season. In this rendition, the detective is abducted, and the other parts of the story don't make much sense. Part 2 is incomplete and practically incoherent. Although it’s 6 episodes, the story is cut off in the middle of the plot at the end of Part 2. The art, music, some characters, and some unique pieces of the plot ...

I had to re-watch the first season to remember what was going on and prepare for that second season. Despite having its flaws that are inherent in the mystery genre, it is still a very interesting and engaging anime by the atmosphere, themes and plot twists.

This second season, however, is a mess. Despite exploring some of the cliffhangers left in the first, everything happens without any practical justification. Kirisami being alive had already been hinted at in the first season at times, but the reason for that and the way it was done was stupid. Izanami mysteriously returns from the dead and her existence is ...

I'm not a fan of B: THE BEGINNING, a show that mostly feels like a mixtape of elements from other shows e.g. PSYCHO-PASS, DARKER THAN BLACK, MONSTER. But in rewatching the first season, I could at least appreciate the high production values and occasionally goofy story. The nonsensically titled SUCCESSION doesn't even have those things. It's cheap as hell (lots more CG) and poorly directed, no doubt the result of Kazuto Nakazawa and others who worked on the first season being less involved. And as cliche as the first season could be, those familiar elements gave the show some semblance of a story structure and ...

Think of these as bonus information episodes rather than giving it a 'season 2' stigma. They greatly expanded on Keith and with the help of (admittedly) bland extras, set up a straight-forward story, delivered quite an investigation and stayed grounded to its original style. If you enjoyed the first season there really is not much reason to not enjoy these OVAs, plus there is clearly room for continuation

If I had to come for anything, it would be the uselessness of the new characters outside of connecting the obvious plot holes BUT I will say they could have purposely done that for the sake of cutting ...

This second season is quite disappointing. The first was a well-constructed, intelligent, mature and dark narrative, with room for complex characters and well-written dialogues. Here, this is no longer the case, the action takes up much more space and the dialogues are only few. The plot is launched very quickly, even if we do not necessarily understand the real stakes. The common thread of the series takes on a completely different meaning here, not necessarily the most interesting. You clearly don’t have time to feel or understand anything, everything goes very fast and once you’re in the bath, everything is already over. Even the characters ...

So assume to be the sequel to Season 1, in the end there is a not terrible animation no clear rhythm in each episode, NOTHING happens in this season the episodes stretch out and end exactly as it started, we do not understand what is really happening we just want the little fight to catch up with everything but not even there the fight of Kokuu against the other is ridiculous nothing to save just to throw away... Comparing to what we offered in season 1 it's just disappointing as much about the animation as the story
I expected more from Keith's character in this sequel ...
