I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There are some spoilers (kinda), beware. Black Rock Shooter follows the Story of Mato and Yomi, two schoolgirls trying to live there everyday life's. One day they meet and they become friends. However at the same time Otherworldly forces who have a resemblance to them take notice to this, and thus the struggle for victory begins. Black Rock Shooter has a good, well written story, but they way its put together is... Sloppy. It follows a girl name Black Rock Shooter on one side, and Mato on another. These two stories interval between each other, and the bulk of it is on Mato's side as opposed to the title character Black Rock Shooter. This is more of a Schoolgirl life drama as opposed to an action thriller. Despite this, Black Rock Shooter is still engaging, it has very well developed characters does a great job resolving and concluding is back a forth storytelling. Black Rock Shooter also has very great well done art and animation, This shines on the BRS side of the OVA. The environment is a large, post apocalyptic landscape littered with Gothic architecture. Much it is taken from the music video but it is also greatly well done. The music is also very great and engaging. On the schoolgirls side it's a mix between dramatic and soft rock, But during the much darker action sequences it Slipknot sounding heavy metal. Overall, Black Rock Shooter is a greatly well done OVA. Despite some lingering questions, the OVA is still really good and it leaves you satisfied. I highly recommend you watch this if you're trying to get into this new and ever so growing franchise.
