Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee Reverse
テガミバチ REVERSEAfter 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. (Source: FUNimation)

Lag Seeing is the young boy who was found by the most hardest working letter bee Gauche Suede. What’s funny about their meeting is that Lag was the parcel that needed to be delivered to to the small town of Campbell. During the trip to Campbell they interact with one another. One thing that Gauche noticed about Lag is that he is very emotional, to the point of him crying on just about everything. So Gauche delivered Lag successfully to Campbell. It is there that Lag promised to be a letter bee and met Gauche again, and same to him. A few years pass and Lag is now a letter bee.
The most noticeable thing about Lag is that he has a spirit amber in his left eye. Spirit ambers are insects that are encased and then placed in to a weapon called Shindan. They resonate with ones heart and then allow them to fire spirit energy to destroy gaichuus. Gaichuu are large heavily armoured insects that devour people’s hearts. But they can only be destroyed by hitting it in a specific spot.
The second biggest thing about Lag is that he is a cry baby. He cries literally over anything. He puts Gauche’ sister Sylvette to shame as she was once a cry baby. As he joins the letter bee group he makes some new friends in; Zasie and Conor. With Niche, Lag’ dingo the small group find themselves having adventures through out Amberground.
Positives:
Lag is very endearing, even when he criesSeries are episodic – however they are heart warming
Niche being Lag’ dingo
Zasie seems a bit rough but actually cares, Conor is a good character too. He eats alot this is due to the nature of his shindan being bombs
Gauche is just cool, followed by Jiggy Pepper
Niche being told off by Lag to put some underwear on, when she jumps around
Steak and Niche relationship – Niche wants to eat steak but just never gets the time too
Sylvette being the wheelchair leporadess – she drives her wheelchair at high speeds
The gang finds Sylvette’ soup being out right disgusting but don’t have the heart to tell her
Aria being a complete air headed klutz – no sense of direction at all
The competition between Niche and Sylvette
The OP / ED – especially done by HIMEKA (Himeka is Canadian by the way)
Art is pretty good – for its time
Negatives:
His constant crying can get a tad annoyingNoir lying to the group especially to Sylvette
Gaichuu CGI are just bad and look like plastic
Amberground’ world building isn’t fully revealed – at least to me it isn’t
How the Gaichuu came about
Lag looks for his mother in the first half of the series, but then she gets dropped for Gauche
The logo of the letter bee is in fact a hornet
