Review of Black Rock Shooter

You know an anime has to be decent when it has Hatsune Miku doing voiceover work for the music cues. Well naturally Black Rock Shooter is an enjoyable bizzare anime. The Cons -Its just...Bizarre, if you do not understand the plot you're going to mess up a lot in the story -Characters are nothing too special. Nothing really leaps towards the audience except maybe Yuu and Mato -The really weird moments. If you watched this you know what I mean, the staring and etc. Its just....weird The Pros -A BIG improvement over the OVA version. It has the more complex plot, the better message, and was just overall a better story. -Thebetter variety in characters then the OVA version. Even though more than half of them are generic
-A better see in of the action scenes. The action scenes in the movie, what can I say.
-An overall, different and dangerous approach to Black Rock Shooter. See this anime DARES to be bizarre and crazy which not a lot of animes do. A lot of animes seem to gear towards the mainstream audience. Not to say its bad or anything but it gets tiring after awhile. This TV version it takes risks in building up its plot.
-The Plot, what can I say. Its amazing and probably has one of the best messages an anime has to offer. How you can express pain with friends and in the end you can better yourself from it. Once you solve the plot its an uplifting message, WAY better than the OVA version.

Overall 8. It dares to look like something different and for the most part it works. It you could can skip past all the groaners the bullseyes are there. If you like complex stories with great action and decent singing work then this is the anime for you. If you're more of a simpler anime guy watch the OVA.
