| HELL YEAH! Can't bloody wait, more Black Rock Shooter goodness <3 The OVA was great but was a bit confusing at the start since it was only 50 minutes and you can't fit everything into that set time, hence why Anime is better. I'm glad BRS is now getting an Anime series :) Now what I need to see is a Blue Exorcist X Black Rock Shooter Crossover (Rin X BRS <3), I can dream, can't I? :D |
 |
| cant wait!!!! |
| :D Yay! Hopefully it's better than the OVA. |
 Check out my anime blog: http://otakutajio.tumblr.com/ |
| next year, not sure can I live so far to watch this .lol I love the OVA very much ^.^ |
| well rated ova 6/10 cuz its kinda confusing and weird not my type. But will watch it anyways . I think it will be better than OVa cuz it will probably explain more of story etc. |
 |
| OVA wasn't that great but I will watch this |
| This might turn intressting, i liked the animation in Black★Rock Shooter. |
 . |
| It was only a matter of time... |
  |
| YES YES YES!!!! I liked the OVA so I'm excited for this :D. Hope it's great. |

RyanSaotome said: outlawauron said: This is disappointing. The only chance this has to be good is if there is a complete revamp in the staff and direction of the show. There are so many other things that deserve continuations.... So a super popular OVA shouldn't be allowed to have a tv series? This deserved a series more than almost anything else that hasn't gotten a TV series yet. I'm saying there are great shows in need of continuations while an OVA, which was mediocre at best, is getting a full TV series on one of the most coveted time slots. To add, this timeslot made its name by broadcasting shows of consistent quality. Yeah, I don't think BRS has any place there. |
| Awesome, Its exactly what I was waiting for, I really liked the OVA but at the end of the day it was just that, an OVA, and that exactly puts lots of limitations since there simply wasnt enough time to develop the story and the characters |
 |
| Honestly, there's no reason to argue about something you can't change- also, an anime would probably be better than a time limited OVA, in which it was a bit confusing (here's a normal world, and now random chicks fighting, and back to normal world, but you get to the end and then it makes sense). That's my best guess as to why they decided to make an anime, besides the fact to make more money >.> |
| one world, yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!! >^_^< I'm done. |
| My parents always taught me not to talk to strangers............Well, that went well didnt it? |
| I loved the OVA , I'm so glad it's (finnaly) getting a series <33 ! |
| lets sell some more figurines! |
Valkyrie-Ryu said: outlawauron said: I totally agree with outlawauron.. If it's so good why is it only 7.34 on MAL right now? Of course you can play the 'MAL scores aren't everything' but one person's opinion isn't everything either.. it has a pretty okay concept though so hopefully this anime will be good.RyanSaotome said: So a super popular OVA shouldn't be allowed to have a tv series?

To add, this timeslot made its name by broadcasting shows of consistent quality. Yeah, I don't think BRS has any place there. Because the Western fanbase has different tastes than the Japanese. Like I typically see Idolmaster as the most loved anime in Japan from this season, but its under a 7 score last I saw here. A lot of stuff that is loved here the Japanese couldn't give a damn about. Heres the top 10 anime rated by the fans in Japan (from the 2000s) on the newest NicoNico ratings: 1. Bakemonogatari 2. Clannad 3. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 4. AIR 5. Angel Beats! 6. Haruhi 7. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 8. Ano Hi Mita Hana 9. Toradora! 10. K-ON! Completely different from MAL http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-2297.html Also this is an interesting little thing I found a couple months ago. Someone posted MALs top rated anime on a Japanese site, and if you have Chrome or some translator you can see how they think of Western taste. Basically a lot of people complaining about the lack of bishoujo anime in general. |

jmal said: ReaperCreeper said: It's not that the OVA was bad it was just, a bit slow for me. I didn't really have to see that much of their school life before the plot got under way. Well this series should be interesting either way. This is where the main disconnect between Western audiences and Japanese audiences happens. For many Westerners, the school-life was somehow a "distraction" from the plot. Because the plot has to be the part with the ass-kicking and explosions, right? Well, no, not exactly. - The plot was two-fold. First was the relationship between Mato and Yomi and how their friendship developed. Second was Black Rock Shooter's own battles in that apocalyptic-looking world. - The storytelling device was seemingly parallel worlds slowly converging, revealing a continuous storyline told side by side until the end when (if you're paying attention), it all comes together. I thought it was exceptionally well done and effective. The OVA is only 50 minutes. It was never going to develop, plot out, and execute on a complex mythology of the Black Rock-iverse. It took the characters, the concept, and the world Huke built and anchored it all in what could be viewed as one of BRS's many many battles. Yomi and Mato humanized the silent beings blowing each other up. It was an introduction to the world. And yes, an advertisement for the figures as well. Anime usually is partly an advertisement for other media - anyone who acts shocked by that is really ignorant of the industry! I am, personally, not a fan of stand-alone OVAs. I almost didn't watch BRS despite loveing the song and designs because I much prefer at least 11-13 episodes of a TV series to get deep into. But BRS avoided the pitfalls of other standalone OVAs (trying too hard to tell a complex story without taking time to make me care about anyone) and is my single favorite anime OVA or movie that isn't connected to some larger pre-existing TV anime franchise. It took a complex world and distilled it, as it had to, into something that could be done in a one-shot. Sometimes - many times in fact - the character relationships and interactions are the plot. A concept very different from what most Westerners are used to, but extremely common in anime. Speaking for myself, I am nearly always most engaged in a show because of the characters. The events that happen around them only matter to me insofar as they make my connection to the characters stronger. it matters much less whether it's high school romance, surreal comedy, space opera, gritty mecha or historical period piece. It's not that I found it a distraction, I am well aware that their relation was a centre point for the plot, however they seemed to drag it on for quite some time. This started to lessen my interest in it as I was watching an ordinary 14 year old girl's life play out for the most part. I'm not talking about an ordinary life with funny slice of life antics, it really was just her ordinary life following her daily routine. When you look at the whole thing it's quite interesting, however it isn't execute very well. |

| oh! the TV series! this will be awesome (i hope more good than the OVA) |
| At Last! I'm waiting for this news!!! wooo!! |

| Can't wait~! |
 |
| Awesome sauce. |
| YESSSSSSSSSSS , can't wait <33 |
 |
| lol, maybe the OVA was a disapointment but c'mon. It was an OVA, not the anime. what would you expect? 25 minutes full of action without any story explaining what is going on? D: now we've seen the OVA, there're going to be more epic fights in the serie - that's what I expect - since we kinda know the story. |
| So stoked for this^^ |
| Good, so this could actually explain a lot of things unsaid in the OVA. |
 |
| I might watch it. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The only thing that could convince me to watch this is if Yamakan has zero involvement in it. I don't care whether it's NoitaminA, just make sure that Yamakan doesn't touch this. Fractale had so much wasted potential, and this would go the same way if Yamakan is involved. |

jmal said: PaninaManina said: What the fuck happened It started airing some of the best shows it's ever aired. Anohana, Hourou, and Usagi Drop are the three best noitaminA shows I've seen, by a pretty fair margin. these series could not be aired in other channels? For each otaku anime aired in Noitama, one good series loses its chance to be animated. And a kitten dies. |
|
| Awesome I can't wait! |
| Oh my God. Noitamina has committed suicide. |
jmal said: PaninaManina said: these series could not be aired in other channels? For each otaku anime aired in Noitama, one good series loses its chance to be animated. Are you honestly calling Usagi Drop or Hourou Musuko "otaku anime" in the same sense as other late night anime? [...] Including Fractale as an "otaku show" is pretty disingenuous. I wonder what do people mean when they say "otaku anime". To me, in that sense otaku meant the antonym of "mainstream" anime, so we had "otaku anime" and "mainstream anime." But people around here seems to use that term as a synonym of "anime aimed at males" which is kind of misleading since fujoshis are also a kind of otaku. jmal said: I'm just really tired of Western fans looking to noitaminA for some sort of salvation from the nasty, unwashed otaku masses. The only reason western fans glorify noitaminA is because it aired anime targeted at women, as simply as that. All the complains you hear about contemporary anime like moe/harem/fanservice is killing it do not apply to anime aimed at girls or women. In fact, the more moe boys are, the better. "Reverse harem" and otome-game based-anime are always received with excitement, and fanservice aimed at women isn't even noticed. It is only when "moe", "harem" and "fanservice" are present in anime aimed at men when Western fans complain that anime is dying and the like. fanty said: Oh my God. Noitamina has committed suicide. This is a perfect example of what I was previously saying. People saying that noitaminA has commited suicide because it dared to air anime aimed at men too, even though currently it's only airing josei anime, like No.6 and Bunny Drop. |

LOL @jmal Sadly, the current NoitamA's sucess will be credited for the "Moe", Rin's cuteness, and not for be an adult history. |

jmal said: PaninaManina said: Sadly, the current NoitamA's sucess will be credited for the "Moe", Rin's cuteness, and not for be an adult history. Are you more concerned about who is buying a show or whether the show is good? Once again, it seems like the real complaint is not that the shows are bad, or even inappropriate for noitaminA, but the fact that otaku like some of them. And now noitaminA's traditional champions can't stand the idea that 20-35 year old men are also attending their sacred temple as well. Even if the shows are still great. Bah. +1 And the thing is, we don't know how this version of BRS is going to be like. It could suggest something deeper. Who knows? But one thing's for sure: it has a lot of potential. Anime is anime. Not ALL of them are specifically made for a certain group of people. Even if these "otaku" get into it, it's still not going to change my view of the show, or the channel. And seriously, who cares who airs what? I just want to watch my shows. I couldn't give two shits about the blocks. |
