Black★Rock Shooter (OVA)
Oshimeter
Synopsis
On her first day of junior high school, Mato Kuroi meets Yomi Takanashi. Though Yomi is initially taken aback by Mato's straightforward personality, the pair quickly becomes friends and begin to spend time together daily. As a sign of their friendship, Mato gives Yomi a cell phone charm—a blue star, identical to her own. However, when the two enter their second year, their relationship starts to change. Placed in a different class, Mato begins to spend more time with Yuu Koutari instead, a girl she met through the basketball team. In fact, the former best friends drift apart so much so that Mato cannot find Yomi anywhere, as if she had disappeared entirely. Elsewhere, Black★Rock Shooter is on a quest to vanquish the Dead Master. These two, while opposed, bear a connection not unlike Mato and Yomi. As their stories begin to cross, it seems Yomi's disappearance may have to do with the blue star-shaped charm and the legendary gunslinger herself.

The into captures you immediately ,makes you sit at the end of your seat, the first few episodes are a bit slow but the pace picks up as you go along
The first time I heard "Black Rock Shooter" (back when only Miku V2 existed, a long time ago), I didn't particularly like the song, but I was amazed by the music video's aesthetic. Likewise, the idea of watching a Black Rock Shooter OVA and discovering those strange worlds and beautifully designed characters seemed like a great idea. But unfortunately, half of the film is a schoolgirl drama. I understand that the narrative draws on this plot, but if half of your Black Rock Shooter OVA isn't Black Rock Shooter, that's still a problem. In any case, it's a nice story, nothing groundbreaking, but still satisfying.
is a very complicated feeling right from the start, i means the world building, will feels bit messy, almost like it wasn't made for viewer that havennt seen the earlier material hmmm... but i just think the way its presented a bit chaotic, so might break the flow at the first moment, BUTTT it still GREAT (trust me
This show is a whole psychological fever dream and I am absolutely here for it. The contrast between the gritty, dialogue-heavy school drama and the jaw-dropping, neon-soaked wasteland battles is insane.
B★RS is stylish, emotional, and interesting. Based on the original Vocaloid music video ,it feels like a glimpse into a bigger story, which makes it fascinating but also frustrating because it leaves you wanting a full series that this version of the story will never get.
