Whenever he’s in deep thought putting the pieces of a mystery together we see his thoughts visibly through words and diagrams that appear onscreen. Keith's intelligence makes him a perfect lead to see this investigation from. He’s sort of inept in social situations which derives plenty of comedy that I found quite funny. One being the enigmatic Koku with his black wings and nack for murdering criminals the other is Keith Flick a gruff former detective who’s helping out the police hunt down killer B.
It’s not really a traditional mystery because (like Death Note) the titular ‘Killer B’ that the title alludes to is revealed in the first episode and is one of our two protagonists. To start I’ll say, B: The Beginning is a thriller with plenty of twists and turns in its story to keep you interested. Large Cast of Supporting Characters are Underdeveloped In my opinion, there’s enough good in this show to outweigh the negatives, but to summarize them before diving into the analysis: other in only a brief 12 episode season makes for slightly underdone execution and lacking development.
It is in one part a sci-fi police procedural similar to Psycho-Pass, but simultaneously a game of cat and mouse like Death Note. The story is totally insane on paper but is somehow even more bewildering in action thanks to such lovingly crafted visuals by Production I.G. Sure it stumbles a bit along the way, but the final result is undeniably an ambitious and thoroughly entertaining ride worth watching. It’s so rare to see an anime of such high quality to take as many risks as B: The Beginning does.
