Plot Synopsis

B: THE BEGINNING is a half-hour anime series that centers on genius investigator Keith Flick, who rejoins the royal police force (RIS) just as serial killer "B" emerges and stalks the city of Cremona. A mysterious youth named Koku may be an ally -- or a target. Just as Keith rejoins the RIS, he begins work a brutal double murder involving "Killer B." Then an unknown group steals a military vehicle for a rampage. The RIS investigates a death that appears to be linked to Killer B, though Keith disagrees and drags Boris on a chase outside the city, pursuing Koku and one of the gang. Koku and Keith both pay visits to the Royal Library. Afterward, Lily heads to Keith's apartment to discuss her thoughts on the Killer B case.
