Review of Black Rock Shooter

This must seen initially like an action type anime that has cool looking weapons, fights, etcetera and, it really is BUT that is absolutely not it's main concept. Black★Rock Shooter is about middle schoolers who are amidst the chaos of getting to know and understand their own selves better while simultaneously trying to build friendships, endure school and care for private lifes/mental health. It also has subtle yuri/homo undertones to it, which is not really worked upon considering the characters' age range. Still, it's there. All the main characters have alternate selves that are there mainly to represent their most intimate selves in a rawway that can be better understood by the viewers who are following the story. The art-style has a considerably unique style to it, especially the eyes, which are very expressive and convey well the sadness/confusion the characters are feeling and dealing with in many scenes. The fight scenes are also very well animated and nice to watch. I highly recommend it although I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea! Give it a shot with an open heart, if you want to take my humble review in consideration. It's definetely a favorite of mine.
