B: The Beginning
On Netflix
A dark, psychologically complex anime mystery built on paranoia and moral ambiguity, where a genius detective and an enigmatic youth navigate immortality, brainwashing, and the question of whether salvation or damnation awaits.
Genius investigator Keith Flick rejoins the royal police force just as serial killer "B" emerges. Mysterious youth Koku may be an ally, or a target.
