Review of Black Rock Shooter

I admit that I didn't even try to really dig deep and figure out what this show is really about. The plot is unnecessarily cryptic and abstract. The action sequences (which is what probably attracts a lot of people to the show) are few and far between. For the most part its a dark school drama which tries way too hard to be sad, and only comes off as cruel. It has some neat action, and it's pretty to look at, so it has that going for it. Also, it's only 8 episodes so if you do decide to watch it, you won't feel asthough you wasted too much of your time.
