I actually have yet to see a single anime forum where you actually like the anime you are talking about.. Exactly, which is a shame because it could be awesome if it didn't suffer from pacing issues, and if characters were a little bit more interesting. You aren't looking hard enough, then. Because I post a lot of positive comments on anime I like. |
| i don't mind how this show is fast paced, keeps me interested. Though if it was longer there might be extended fighting scenes :P Great episode 5\5 cant wait to see next weeks |

Anyway, why am I such an off-topic magnet... Anyone predicted the Strength-Yuu thing? |

I love how they explained their deeper link, and I just overall LOVED this episode. The fight was amazing, the animation was amazing.. the transformations were amazing, the voice acting is amazing.. STR is amazing... <3 |

| She remembered and her avatar woke up. They rushed the OVA and it seems like they're rushing the anime too. A lot of information was poured into this episode. |

Honestly, BRS doesn't have many flaws, it's just not long enough =/ |
| Great episode; interesting concept about pain; and i kinda saw the Yuu-STR thing but obviously not to details like this; just figured there was more to them since they seemed different than the rest. So Yomi remembers so i guess the rest will as well; interesting how there is way more of them then the ones shown as was shown with the hole with all the corpses. |
 |
| Mamiko Noto is so nice, bringing Yuu back and even taking her uniform coat off. <3 |

| I felt a little confused during this episode. Yuu/Gold Saw backstory is kinda confusing. Good to see Dead Master is coming back. |

| fuuuuuh, only one more episode...... sucks that its so short HOLY F*CKING SH*T, THOUGH, THIS EPISODE WAS FULL OF EPIC WIN!!!!! real mindfuck when i thought strength was also going insane beast mode, but then to find out that YUU was ACTUALLY STRENGTH and vice versa?! all these girls and having their other selves shoulder their pain is kinda making my brain hurt. so they fight to take all the pain and suffering of the girls in the real world... I LOVE IT!! AND F*CK YEAH, DEAD MASTER'S GONNA COME BACK TO HELP THE REAL BRS KICK THE INSANE BRS's ASS!!!! i'm also really glad that yomi couldnt forget mato, i cant stand seeing those two not together |

He doesn't even have persona 4 as his favorite anime, YOU are being too judgemental. Sol made perfectly reasonable points about this anime's flaws if you can't see that then you are being too defensive of this animu. |

Solkiskey said: Anyone predicted the Strength-Yuu thing? A few people predicted it. Well one guy did (can't remember who), and then others just jumped on the bandwagon. BRSxIgnition thought that they can actively switch, which is somewhat right but not entirely. At least the creators foreshadow their plot twists so that we can use our imagination to guess what may happen next, instead of just putting completely random plot twists like other anime... ------------- Personally, this episode didn't engage me as much as the previous two - but maybe its cuz I'm tired. I only really got into it when they revealed that yuu is actually strength and strength is yuu, but even that lost most of its strength (see what I did there? XD) from me reading all the people's speculations on the previous thread. 4/5 BRS vs IBRS lets go! :D I also want Dead Master and Chariot to revive, and BGS to recover, so that they can help BRS beat IBRS and Yuu. It would be the most epic fight ever :D. One third of that dream has already come true, fingers crossed for the other two thirds! xD |
| This show is a little too rushed but has quite a lot of epic fighting scenes :3 |
| i haven't being care about the plot for a while i just enjoy those brutal fighting scenes makes me sad and glad at the same time that they don't show any gore lol it was bad enough that yuu charged up two fist but for them to ping pong back and forth on her face was insane!. |
 |
| This episode was so fucking beautiful. Man, a lot of questions have been answered and I knew Yuu and Strength had switched places. Although, who would have thought Yuu would be such a psychotic bitch. Well I guess it's understandable since she must have had a tough time in the past. "Yuu" as Strength in the BRS world was crazy though. Shooting her 'hand' machine guns and then releasing them to let the bullets out was pretty hectic. Seeing Mato suffer in Insane BRS was quite heartbreaking. She was just running away and put on a facade and became all cheerful. The fight scenes again were animated so well. Seeing Kagari and Yomi feeling the pain in their hearts was very 'heartwarming' LOL, especially at the end with Yomi slowly remembering Mato and then crying. Fuck, that was absolutely lovely. :) Sadly the Anime feels very rushed. With only 8 episodes, there isn't a lot of content you can put in. The Anime should have been at least 12 episodes long, ah dang. Despite the episode feeling rushed, I still loved it. Dead Master's gonna come back now hopefully help BRS/Mato. :D Definitely a 5/5! Also, I'm pretty sad that next week's episode is the last (*sadface D:) but ... I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT FOR IT, THANKS TO THE PREVIEW!!!! LadyOrihime said: NEXT EPISODE: BLACK ROCK SHOOTER vs. INSANE BLACK ROCK SHOOTER Preview Screen Caps: NEXT EPISODE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. Crap, I'm so excited, Insane BRS VS BRS. Fuck yeah, next Friday's gonna be great. With me fangasming/jizzing and crying because it's ending. Lmao. :D |
 |
| Everything comes to live again Stunning graphics during the fights, but if I take out South Parks Ridiculous and Pointless remarks This just looked like it with a tad of brilliance |
| It seems the original Yuu switched with Strength in order to escape reality. While she had to suffer in both worlds it was easier for her to cope with her situation in the alternate world as she just had to fight and follow her instincts there instead of finding a solution in the real world. The visuals were beautiful again this episode. I just wished the story line wouldn't be that convoluted. |
 |
| Is it just me, or does this anime feels a bit confusing? Yeah yeah, I get the story, but there are some loopholes here and there. There are also some wrong thinking here. Example, BRS killed DM, and Yomi does not feel any pain. Why? And also, why do they do such a thing over a minor problem? Problem should be confronted and have a solution! Maybe that's a part of the BRS dramatic real-world events... |
| uhh... |
| Wow. The action in this episode was off the rails! |
 |
| Still confused as to how Mato grew up and entered middle school with STR/Yuu, when STR/Yuu is a bit older than her, and was already in middle school when she met Saya. onedaysnotice said: Solkiskey said: Anyone predicted the Strength-Yuu thing?

 |
| Shit that is an awesome twist, Strength and Yuu switch places, no wonder that girl was all nice and kind despite being bullied a lot ! Ah one more episode and it's the end !! |
 |
| Great episode I'm realy sad now because this show is so short it should be longer ,glad that Dead Master is back and maybe Chariot O_o ,judging by the preview it seams we are going to see a fight between Mato and BRS I can't wait for the next episode :) |

| Yes Dead Master is back. I love the animation especially during the monochrome scenes. Kind of sad this anime is ending so soon. |
| o.o? |
  |
| Why do I get a weird feeling that next week's finale will leave most of us mindfucked? |
 |
| Damn so STR and Yuu switched places after all? Then Saya calling STR by Yuu's name was what? I mean they were alone and still did that. Also how did Mato grow up with STR when Yuu is Saya's age(around it?) and the house Mato though was hers was made up? Still answered many questions i had, a good episode, probably the best even. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Yuu snapped. And now she's as insane as Black Rock Shooter. But the battles were epic and so was Strength's weapon transformation. Maybe Mato will be saved by Yomi in the last episode. A thing that we didn't see Mato do in the OVA. |
  |
| I hope the last episode will deliver well. |
| Well Strength and Yuu had switched places... that was predictable so no big surprise there BUT Yuu doing that high pitched wird laugh WAS a surprise xD I so pity that girl. Giving up everything to just fight. And Dead Master will wake up \o/ So what is rly needed to get your pain back? A big shock? Cause she was so uniterested of Mato except when she heard she hadn't come home. Did it rly strike such a nerve to make her remember? Seems a bit too much but oh well! It's for good! Though I can imaine scenarios for last epi, I hope for some surprises since there's supposed to be a game and all so it should leave some questions so it wouldn't be TOO cliche! |
   |
| Is it a rule that everyone in this animation must go crazy? Even only once. I still don't get one thing: Does Yuu is the same Yuu? I mean, this girl, who Saya met few years ago. Because I had the impression, that she isn't... (err, something like that...) So why aren't they in this same age? |
 |
| It's quite interesting, even though it's a bit exaggerated with EVERY girl going mental. Also, I didn't notice once that Yuu doesn't have a shadow?! Hahah :D Well, I hope episode 8 is not ALL about fighting. |
| Four armed Strength looked badass! So Yuu switched with her? Meanwhile Yomi remembered Mato and Dead Master will awaken once again. But now I get why girls are always so hard to understand. They have an alter ego dealing with their sorrow in another world and guys do not. xD |
 |
| Animation is starting to look worse... I wish it had been a longer anime, plot seems a bit rushed right now Still I'm really looking forward the last episode |
| Damn when Strength lost it, it got 10x epic. Thats why I only put up a few pictures of her going crazy because I didn't want to spoil it anymore.  |

zahodnik_miensk said: Next episode will be the final, and I can't imagine the end of this masterpiece. Thanks God I didn't saw the OVA. Once you see the anime... you can NEVAR GO BACK! O^O Though, in all honesty, the other world battle scenes were better in the OVA (crisper and clearer, you know?), and Yomi wasn't as annoying. But still, the anime is DEFINITELY better! NUUUUU, IT'S ENDING! WHY? WHYYYYYYY? D': |
| I guess I'm the only one who likes the pace of the story atm. XD Anyway, epic episode, can't wait for the last one. I'm kinda glad that Yomi remembered Mato, not only it was a very heartwarming (or something like that) but it also spared us of more crappy overdone kids' drama. It seems like both Yomi and Kagari felt more than normal heartache (could be because their others died) that was interesting. I'm glad DM is back in (or at least will be) but I wonder what it actually means for BRS and STR. I just hope it's not something just to satisfy fans. If so, then it's possible that we'll get everything-is-like-it-was-before ending, what would suck. I hate those endings. The STR and Yuu changing places was predictable but a nice touch nonetheless. (Insane) Yuu vs. iBRS was a very well done fight, truly amazing. Glad to see BRS is still immortal /sarcasm. It's funny that she can just casually walk after being smashed several times but a few bullets to her legs make nearly bleed to death. Seriously, there's something wrong with the scriptwriter's biology/common sense. Is it just me or BRS looked slightly nuts in the flashback? I'd swear that her oponent was dead after the 100th stab, she didn't have to stab them twice as much. Looks like BRS was truly on a rampage in the other world, like Yuu/STR said, she was killing the others to make the pain of the girls go away. But I still don't get it why is BRS so strong, if strength is gained through suffering in real world but Mato was avoiding sadness and pain as possible (she even admitted it). |

LadyOrihime said: NEXT EPISODE: BLACK ROCK SHOOTER vs. INSANE BLACK ROCK SHOOTER Preview Screen Caps: So looking forward to this :D so what was rumoured is true, STR has been in the real world for most of the series so far. Seeing Deadmaster being revived kinda makes me wonder if chariot will too..maybe.. |
| tbh, I have a love hate relationship with how short it is. On the one hand, because its so short a lot is piled on a once. On the other if it was longer say 20-24 eps, I think we'd have to deal with filler episodes, and personally as much as some fillers are nice to watch, I know we'd all complain about them (including myself). |
