I assume low score is due to stigma agankst CGI anime, because OST absolutely slaps and action itself is decent.
If they decide to keep story simple, but coherent, this show will be decent.

I feel like i'm one of the few people who like CG everyone else seems to hate lol. I did like this episode for sure. I can tell it's not going to be exactly my thing, as i much prefer the route the OVA and tv show took, where the BRS characters were alternate versions of the school girls and their actions in reality affected the BRS characters in the other world. Dawn Fall seems very reminiscent of the PSP game. I never played it in English but it also had machine enemies and a post apocalyptic setting. The original OVA is my fave thing to come out of the Miku song so far. It's aesthetic is really cool, it's a short and sweet little story.

BRS's new design has grown on me. Not going to reach the iconic status of her original one. I love the simplicity of her first design, but loli shooter is a-okay in my book too. Maybe loli is too far, but she sure seems a lot shorter in this, or is that just me?

Also, i wonder if we'll hear the Black Rock Shooter song at all in this one? I have a feeling we won't, but it'd sure make the finale 10x cooler.

It's been a long time since I watch this anime before. Somehow I love the graphic but still love the old one. Hopefully, the story and graphics will be greater than in this episode. (Btw how can that male robot scene be in Black Rock Shooter anime XD)

But what the fuck did they do with black rock shooter, before it was a heavy anime and emotions and the fuck, black rock shooter was big, now it's a sci fi that black rock shooter turned into a loli type with powers. I know how many kilos the guy had to smoke. I know I'm not the right person to speak ill of clichés since I like it a lot but this thing about artificial intelligence turning against human beings is already a very popular thing , and not only that, it's really bad, for me the only work I remember that did something decent was Terminator, there may be some other anime that did something decent but they are few, that is, it's not something cliche and good and yes a shitty stop. Now about the CGI, I prefer the first season lol. where is the song Black Rock Shooter by Hatsune?

Mas que porra fizeram com black rock shooter,antes era um anime pesado e emoções e os caralhos, a black rock shooter era boladona,agora é um sci fi que a black rock shooter virou um tipo loli com poderes.Agora que porra é essa tem um robo sei la tarado.quantos quilos o cara teve que fumar.Eu sei que não sou uma pessoa certa pra falar mal de clichês já que eu gosto bastante mas essa parada da inteligência artificial se voltar contra os seres humanos já é uma parada muito manjada ,e não só isso,é ruim mesmo,pra mim a unica obra que eu lembro que fez algo decente foi exterminador do futuro,pode ter algum outro anime que fez algo decente mas são poucos,ou seja não é algo cliche e bom e sim uma parada meio merda. Agora sobre o CGI na moral prefiro a primeira temporada kkkk. cade a musica Black Rock Shooter da Hatsune?

But There Black Rock Shooter PSP version The Anime they copy from it had Terminator vibes

Be honest 50% like this show She had new powers maybe other her team had it to show later soon and 50% dislike because they remove Guardian Star Cape Symbol of Protector and Dead Master Hair is Black become Green and her Gothic Lolita remove replace by battle suit with small cape

About Strength She still Black rain cloth at least they still respect her even destroy little

I wonder If Dead Master give her Cape later to Black Rock Shooter I think Impossible I just over thinking

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either, still, way better than what I expected, and yeah, it's a CGI nightmare but at least is acceptable I guess.

Also, this episode alone was 100000 times better than the entire 2012 anime and the OVA.
I hope the story keeps going like this, I would absolutely hate to watch another annoying and edgy story about lesbian school girls being mentally bullied by the school nurse lol, dear god how I hate that anime!

That was a wild first episode. Dude-robot having sex with human female and she dies when he ejaculates????? I assume we won't be getting school-life moments in this one eh? Oh well. I really like Ishikawa Yui's childish voice; soothing to hear and cute too. Animation and sound effects are inferior to its predecessor, but I'm gonna keep on watching for now.

they just abandoned everything from the og show. all the psychological parts. i thought brs was a metaphor for a girls mental health and now its turned into a sci fi shitshow. whatever.

They didn't abandon anything, though. Every BRS is completely separate from the other and it's own thing.

I have to say, the episode wasn't bad.

From the beginning, they explain the current situation of that world, they introduce several characters, they present you with a goal to fulfill and the episode ends with a cliffhanger that grabs you enough that you want to see what follows in the next episode. It was good, and that's it.

As for the complaints towards the animation, it is not the abomination for which they whimper so much around here, but I recognize that in some parts it is weak; especially, in the mobility of robotic enemies.

The character design, especially the main ones, seems appropriate for this series, and something tells me that towards the end Empress will have her famous jacket.

You can watch it without any prior knowledge. Each BRS title (anime, manga or the games) are completely separate in story. The OVA and the original TV show are similar though

MAL hates CGI far too much but I'd admit this doesn't have the best, action is way too zoomed in and is clunky for the most part. Aesthetically alright(which should be the bare minimum for a BRS show), plot wise passable, just, but clearly a grade school student could have written this

I didn't have any particular problems with most of the CGI. The naked human-looking robot def looked bad but the rest was fine.

The mob robots (Titans?) are pretty much stormtroopers with their impossibly bad accuracy which is painful to watch.

Momocashew's (Mili) voice and the OST was great so far. (Yes it is her, for those who were not sure. I saw her mention it on twitter.)

Correct, the official website has her name as "Empress". It's worth noting her name in the PSP game is "Stella".

Why are you telling me this?
Edit: Oh shoot, never mind. I was positive I wrote that comment to a comment asking if the insert song was sung by Mili. Guess I quoted the wrong person.

So far the original is better. Not a bad start, but on BRS awakening, it seems everything is a bit convenient (weapons, transportation, etc.)
