Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond is an anime series which is a continuation of the original Blood Blockade Battlefront. It is produced by Studio Bones and is based on the manga of the same name by Yasuhiro Nightow. The anime series premiered on October 7, 2017, and ended on December 23, 2017. It consists of twelve episodes.

The story takes place in the fictional city of Hellsalem's Lot, which was created after a mysterious portal to the "Beyond" was opened. The portal brought demons, monsters and other supernatural creatures into the city, making it a place of chaos and danger. The city is now under the protection of an organization called "Libra", which consists of people with special abilities, tasked with maintaining peace and order in Hellsalem's Lot.

The protagonist of the series is Leonardo Watch, a young photographer from America who has come to Hellsalem's Lot to find a cure for his sister's blindness. Leonardo has a special ability called the "All-Seeing Eyes" that allows him to see things that others cannot, which makes him valuable to the Libra organization. He quickly becomes involved in their battles against various supernatural threats.

The other members of the Libra organization are also introduced in the series. Klaus Von Reinherz is the leader of Libra and a powerful fighter, whose sense of duty and loyalty are unwavering. Zapp Renfro is a brash and hot-headed member of Libra who often clashes with Klaus. Chain Sumeragi is a calm and mysterious woman who wields a sentient blood weapon. Steven A. Starphase is a laid-back hacker who is also a skilled fighter. K.K. is a sharp-shooter who is always calm and collected, and Gilgamesh is a young vampire who recently joined Libra.

As the series progresses, the members of Libra face a variety of challenges, both external and internal. They are tasked with protecting the city from various supernatural threats like rogue demons, ancient creatures, and even extraterrestrial beings. At the same time, they deal with personal issues such as past traumas, conflicts with other members, and questions about their own morality and purpose.

The series is notable for combining elements of action, comedy, and drama. The action scenes are intense and well-animated, with a variety of creative attacks and powers on display. The comedy is often absurd and over-the-top, with gags such as a giant hamburger monster attacking the city, or a character using a toilet plunger as a weapon. The drama is also well-done, with emotional moments that explore the characters' pasts and their motivations.

The animation and art style of the series are also noteworthy. The animation is smooth and fluid, with dynamic camera angles and creative use of special effects. The art style is colorful and detailed, with a mix of traditional 2D animation and computer-generated effects. The character designs are unique and memorable, with each member of Libra having a distinct look and personality.

The music of the series is also a standout. The opening theme song "Fake Town Baby" by Unison Square Garden is catchy and energetic, perfectly capturing the spirit of the series. The background music is also well-done, with a variety of styles used to match the tone of each scene.

Overall, Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond is an excellent continuation of the original series. It expands on the world and characters, while still maintaining the same mix of action, comedy, and drama that made the original so popular. It is a must-watch for fans of the genre, and a great introduction for newcomers to the series.
