Just finished volume 3.
I...dislike this series. It runs along the same lines as many other action LNs, sure, and that's fine and all -- fun battles, mysteries, character interplays and all that -- but, there's an exceptionally annoying element running through it. The author hates happiness. And leaders of organizations, apparently. Every single one of the "leaders" and antagonists is a flamboyant psychopath, sad things happen because they're evuuuul, and then they get away with it because "drama lol fuk u." Is it going to continue along these lines going forward? |

This guy is only alive because of a contract controlled by a psychotic maniac, his little sister is apparently a witch of destruction or some shit, and everyone around him keeps getting killed in horrible ways. BB focuses on psychological pain, like guilt or fear or hate and how it affects the characters and those around them. AMC focuses on the horrific traumas caused by surviving in this world as well as trying to deal with the physical horrors involved in fighting this kind of war. It's kind of like BB without the monoliths keeping the Gastrea out.

Knowing how AS community (a lot of spoiler sharks) is I'm probably seen as the worst kind of bastard for not spoiling, however I do not spoil. Moreover I do not know the details myself. I know the development more or less because I skim through the future volumes (check what happens roughly), however the actual thorough read I do is when I translate.
As such, not only I try not to spoil other readers, but also myself. The book should be enjoyed together with all of its volume rather than shortened to few facts written out in 10 lines. I did spoil in this topic a few most urgent questions readers might have, but I'm not going to go any further than that. The spoilers I released before are: Spoiler:

i'd still say that in the end the problem was somewhat deal with, while it is true that Kusanagi is target of constant despair, however, his situation is still somewhat resolve at each volume compare to Rentaro of BB which literally everyone who he have contact with and even being main cast didn't help them avoid death flag or Ryner who is betrayed, discriminated and live in a literally kill fest.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I have to sign out, then.
Won't bother this thread anymore -- visits are fine but long term stays are for fans. Don't wanna make myself a nuisance like the people over at the Nisekoi thread. So response to the kind people's answers will be in the spoiler tag. Spoiler for not a spoiler:

Thought I'd write on the Antimagic's tl current status.
It's going to be next TL'd project, currently I'm going to catch up with work a bit and when I'm ready I'll start the TL'ing marathon. Meanwhile don't despair or be surprised if I do some of the imouto series (the chapters of that one are 10 pages long so I can do them while I'm resting my eyes from work). Anyway, chapter titles are up, once I start TL'ing I'll bulldoze through it like I always do~. Before then, have patience.

Thank you very much....umm...just curious between this guy and rentarou (black bullet) who do you think is more pitiful?
Kusanagi as far as i read even though his life is inthe hand of psycho bastard from 9th circa of hell at least has salvation in form of his merry friend that is very supporting and not against the idea of becoming his harem i guess..while rentarou pretty much in the situation of "damn if i do, damn if i dont " with kisara and her revenge quest, plus death looming quickly on enju and the other, plus betrayal and every other shit according to spoiler

Hmm, Kusanagi indeed is quite pitiful up to volume 5 ending and doesn't have much field to maneuver and can only go with the flow. However it changes after volume 5, starting volume 6 one can say that he has a clear goal in his mind and determination.
The major difference between black bullet and antimagic is that in antimagic main characters (the ones the side of justice) don't die, author doesn't kill or have any of the main girls go through really gruesome experiences and compensates for it with flashbacks (Ouka had one, then Mari had one, so did Ikaruga and Usagi).
