Hachiko's Black Rock Shooter Ova Review
Rated:
Overall, I don't think Black Rock Shooter was fit to be an OVA. It's just too compact. It would have been more refreshing to see this drawn out as a TV series, with an emphasis on the aftermath what fans will see in this OVA, as well as the development of Mato, Yomi Takanashi, and Yuu. So much more could have been done to make this a 13 or 26 episode classic. It just wasn't meant to be.
That being said, for an OVA, this is enjoyable for the art, the sound effects, and the voice acting of Kana Hanazawa. And to think that this all started with a song by Miku Hatsune, of all Vocaloids...
Recommended.

Black Rock Shooter is much cooler than I've expected! I originally thought it would be a childish show but I couldn't be
more wrong.
The art and CGI are amazing and this show is just so creative that my mind has been completely blown! I love the idea
that the world of Black Rock Shooter is connected to the real world in the story and whatever happens in the real world
is reflected through peculiar phenomena in the world of BRS.
So far things are still rather unclear and the suspense is heavy, but the theme of friendship has already been deeply
explored. I really look forward to the next episode. :)
bit difficult to grasp its concept, really. much similar to Magical Madoka before. all those fightings are in another dimension or space. bit disappointed with hanazawa performance in this one though, just lack bit of feelings for the character.
MisaSasekage rated 9.00:The OVA was pretty good. The fights were pretty nice. The animations and designs were pretty good too. Though I think it would've been nice if the characters spoke. I'm currently watching the 2012 anime series. I'm enjoying the series more than the single OVA, I wish it wasn't such a short series though. The characters designs look pretty cool. And I think they balance the school aspect of the characters and counterparts fighting well. The ending was pretty good. And for such a short show, I'm still amazed at how good it turned out to be. Amongst all the original offerings that also finished this season, I can honestly say that BRS probably had one of the more satisfying endings. In terms of the characters, this television adaptation gave the characters some much-needed backbone. Unlike the OVA, which only had time to focus on Yomi/Dead Master, I really enjoyed getting to see the other characters like Strength and Black Gold Saw get some well-deserved screen time. Overall, I think Black Rock Shooter is a show that everyone should watch at least once. With its use of symbolism and the small messages that are scattered throughout the series, there’s always something for you to keep your eye out for. Combined with a strong seiyuu cast that were able to flesh out the characters through emotion to the amazing music that only amplified the emotional in every single scene, Black Rock Shooter turned into one of the best shows of the season. So if you haven’t watched Black Rock Shooter yet, I strongly suggest you give it a shot!
kuchukuTulip rated 9.50:Super awesome action in both the anime and the ova. The Ova was just between two girls, hence a short story but more action, i did like the story better. The anime did get alil confusing but the ending clears all the confusion there is and i really loved the whole concept of it and finally i got see girls in action without boys being involved! XD
KiyanaIkebana rated 8.00:
I thought it's a anime but it is only a ova xD
I started to watch the ova and I thought it will be boring! But no! It's was totally beautiful to watch about friendship
between 2 girls in 2 dimension. In the real dimension Mato and Yomi are best friends. they do everything together. But
they were separate in to difference classes and their friendship began to broke (?) because Mato got a new friend Yu and
Yomi began to be jealous (?) and disappeared. but where she was disappeared? in to the fiction world? there were two
girls (similar yomi and mato) fight together....Must Mato merge with black rock shooter to save her friend?....You can
see It's very interesting anime about friendship! The ova has only 50 min and there aren't a lot conversation but it's
really great! ;)
I heard that next mouth (February 2012) will release the anime! And what will I do? of course watch it'!!! if will
be.....please!
