Introduction
After Niche carries the wounded and stunned Lag back to the Bee Hive, the Letter Bee finally begins to piece the puzzle together. Now he knows what's happened to Gauche, why the Marauders are so focused on stealing mail and the actual intent of the group controlling both, Reverse. However, when he's forbidden to reveal the truth, Lag is soon forced out of the artificial sunlight and back into the world of perpetual night. And soon Reverse's plot to take down the Letter Bees and overthrow the Amberground government begins to accelerate. If things weren't already bad enough, the giant insect creatures called gaichuu are apparently evolving into something new; there may be traitors working within the Hive; and Niche's sister, who's definitely not human friendly, shows up to turn family drama into a full-scale siege! It all spells serious trouble for the Letter Bees, but if anyone can weather the storms and gloom of night, Lag and his team are the ones who'll deliver.

Disclaimer: I am going to review Tegamibachi as a whole, which means that I will cover its 1st season as well.
✪ Genre: action (gunfights, swordplay), adventure, drama, high fantasy, shounen, superpower
✔ Positive Aspects ✔
◧ Excellent animation, with very clear character designs (not allowing room for the viewing audience to confuse one character for another), with very elaborate and majestic physical structures, with some wonderfully melancholic and vast landscapes, on high saturated and very vibrant colors. The end result is very similar to another work by the same studio (Pierrot Plus), Tokyo Ghoul (a phenomenal anime, at least its 1st season), and to another outstanding anime by TMS entertainment, D-Gray Man. In my view, comparatively, Tegamibachi is more akin to the latter.

The second season of Letter Bee was little different then the first because now you know more about the characters, that being say there was still a lot mystery surrounding the story. I think I may have like the first season first just because it had more Lae and Niche interactions, and often time there very funny but still love this series because it was more intense and more action with the story-line.
That being said there were some plot holes missing in the series (which you need to read manga to find out) that could be good thing or bad thing. If you love the series you don't mind rereading the story which I don't mind. But they left the series way open for future series if they like., which I don't mind to happen in the future.

This has instantly become one of my favorite series. I am in love with Lag Seeing, and all of the other great characters, and the artwork is fantastic, but let me break down the full payload of my opinion.
To begin, this is a fair warning to anyone who intends to watch this series: it's bittersweet from start to finish, and doesn't hold your hand in terms of answering all of your questions. What I mean by that, without giving anything away, is that, though you might expect this series to be cathartic from the way it is written, and from the huge heart its characters have, it actually does not conclude in this way. The ending does not tie up all of the loose ends, and it does not have a truly happy ending. Instead, you are kind of left with the same level of knowledge as the characters you…

Tegami Bachi is one of those series that don't grab your heart immediately, but rather grown on you with time. On the surface the story is about government delivery men and their strifes with the fearsome Gaichu during their deliveries. However, what is much more important, it's about the nature of humans and the bonds they develop.
In the "Reverse" we follow Lag Seeing on his quest to find and bring back home his friend Gauche. This time around the plot gets much more complex as we learn more about the legendary Day of Flicker, the rebel group Reverse and the nature of the Gaichu. The adventures of Lag and his friends draw a very precise portrait of the complex nature of humans and the bonds between them. It's specifically because we can sympathize with what we're shown, that the story i…

I did a review for the first series, and I will say, at the very least, this season is better than the first. They managed to take all the good things the first season had going for them- the art, the setting, the back story, a few of the better characters, and good music and voice actors, and grow on that. They also managed to fix the two parts of the series that made it almost intolerable- Lag's non-stop crying (oh, it's still there, but nowhere near as much) and the fact that they made the series into an episodic, letter of the week series instead of growing upon a very interesting story. Now, seeing that they have great art, a fairly strong story, good voice talent and music, and some interesting characters, you would expect a better overall score, but this is what this series fails to…

And so the story continues….
The series started exactly where the season one ended. Just like I said before, it’s as if the two seasons was really one series cut in the middle so they created a second season. This series was way even better from the previous one, story wise, because the main plot was more focused and so the story was more on the serious flow. Lag’s search for Gauche continued and halfway the series it turned into a quest to find the truth. Lag struggled to take Gauche back almost like that famous Ninja who foolishly and unconditionally searched for his friend (If you know who I am referring to). Some of the important revelations about the main plot were explored like the truth about the “Day of Flicker”, the artificial sun, government’s experiments, the goal of Reverse or…

How to start....How to write a review that will do this great anime justice...Let me first apologise if my review doesn't make a lot of sense. I am still overwhelmed with emotion at this point. Well, Tegami Bachi or Letter Bee is a beautiful anime much, much more than the simple letter-delivering. I had wanted to watch this anime for a long, long time, falling in love with the concept, artwork and when I had finally had the time to watch it all my previous expectations were blown away by the standards of the anime; which are absolutely amazing. I watched all 50 episodes for two days straight. Me, who has severe commitment problems was so capivated by the essence of the anime as it challenged everything that life meant for me.
STORY: At initial glance, it doesn't seem very original, NOT CL…

This show was amazing. It had brilliant music which fit perfectly with the scenes, great art which was beautiful and awesome characters. It also had an amazing story...... at the start of the series that is.
Art: 9
The animation was beautiful like I said before. Great graphics, lighting, colour, just made me happy =D. It was all lies to try and deceive me.
Sound: 10
Other than the bitchy crying 24/7, outstanding sound. The music at most scenes was wonderful and fit perfectly. The voices did too, but I haven't heard such great music that sorta made me feel good in other shows. I feel weird talking.. or typing about how I feel. Oops I did it again.
Character: 8
Not much to say here, these characters were original. I would give it a 10 if it wasn't for Gauche's stupid memory loss thing whi…

'Tegamibachi REVERSE' continues from first season's cliffhanger ending, as Lag Seeing and Niche continues their search for Gauche Suede.
There are still things from last season still present that makes this series unique and enjoyable to watch. The atmosphere in this series is absolutely phenomenal. We are completely immersed into the distinct world in "Tegamibachi", in the constant darkness shined only by the faint light of artificial sun, and the desolate landscapes between towns. Character design was also wonderful, the unique Letter Bee uniform, the cute designs for kids, and the cool (almost bishounen) looks of the adult Letter Bees. Other than the Gaichuu still looking like video game rendered, this series is pure visual pleasure to watch.
However, 'REVERSE' still has many flaws ev…
