As part of Netflix's original content line-up, B: The Beginning was a well-received anime thriller directed by Kill Bill contributor Kazuto Nakazawa and produced by Japanese animation power-house Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell, Attack on Titan). The numbers clearly justified a second season, and in the wake of Disney's own pending streaming service, it seems Netflix want to keep their content fresh.
While no release date has been announced (they tease "soon") the show will return with a fresh string of stylish crimes to shock and appal!
