Black Rock Shooter

This is the first time i post a review about the anime that i watched, so might be poorly done. Black Rock Shooter is made based on the song with the same name. The illustrations were made by Huke and really impressed by it even though this is the first time i watch his work. Regarding the anime, there wasn't much battle scenes as i expected to. In the 50min video, only about 15min is battle scene. As for the animation, i don't know how to rate. There are parts that quite fascinating, but there is also a few 'robot-like' animation making the video not smooth. Despite the short battle scene, the sound effect is nice. The clashing sound of weapon, the footstep of their sprint are almost same as real. Well, this should be my rate for BRS:

Storyline : 2/5 - Most the plot always used in normal anime and predictable.
Illustration: 4/5 - Nice work from Huke.
Animation : 3/5 - Hope they would make a 2nd with better quality.
Sound : 5/5 - Nice sounds always make battle scene best.
Overall : 3.5/5 - WANT MORE FIGHTING SCENE!!!
*please don't kill me if you have different view*

For those who haven't listen to Black Rock Shooter, please enjoy..





The anime starts off with the battle between these two girls.. Until now i still have no idea who the red girl is. Obviously black rock shooter is pawned by her.


Main character: Kuroi Mato
This anime keep jumps between Mato's time and BRS's time. Please don't be confused by the arrangement of the pictures.

Katanashi Yomi. This is the first time Mato meets her.





Apparently they are becoming close friend.









Have i mistaken or the phone really missed one button?


Darn.. The battle almost start but they jump back to Mato's time.






'Commercial break' again.. This time shows the time spent between Mato and Yomi.





It seems that Mato's club manager is in the same class as she. Yomi starts to feel isolated and lonely.


Yomi dissapears along with this shadow. And the battle from 'long time ago' continues:













After finishing it, everything is clear. Yomi possessed by the shadow and dissapear to another place/world. Mato had gone to rescue her with the help of Black Rock Shooter. Those battle scenes should be placed at the later part of the movie but they insert some of it in the middle.

As always, wallpapers and pictures come next after finishing a movie. There are many great artworks of BRS by Huke again.
