6/10 for this series. It was entertaining at the start but overall a pretty mediocre series.

I wonder when the OST for this will come out. I really enjoyed the insert song towards the latter half when the worlds started to merge.

I loved it, very nicely done. I was a little confused when I watched the OVA first, cuz I didnt get anything at all and I thought this will be another shi**y crap. I was wrong, I enjoyerd it. I heared there is going to be a movie ( OVA2) of it, I hope they contune with this anime cuz it needs more than 8 eps.

So is their a reason why Yuu stayed young while Saya aged? I think that had me scratching my head the most. Felt like the OVA was alot better. The art direction for the other world was kind of neat Meh overall though

So moral of the story is to not beat around the bush or people in other worlds will die lol Say it straight up yo!

I thought the animation was fantastic and I love each of the characters. Very enjoyable.

The OVA is pretty the same. It's just the ending is a cliffhanger.

last 2 episodes raised my score from 9/10 to 10/10 .. this anime was simply amazing and unque

Started with really depressing,disturbing and sad....
But ended really bright and happy...

I really wanted sayo sensei to die first..cuz i thought she was brainwashing everyone...
but after everything got explained and how actually she tried to help everyone..

but yeah epic tearjerking at end..
but yeah...anime was really unique and good xD

The 1 ep ova .. i rated 6/10 cuz it didnt explain anything..

But this was simply amazing

It was very colorful and I liked the animation but I was still really confused for most of the show... Not really sure what happened in the end (or why for that matter) but it was still really fun to watch :D. I like Hana's voice for Mato.

I'll give it a 7/10 since I didn't really understand the whole other-world plot deal.

Well, great final episode.

The story was quite enjoyable, the CG was good (which is why I watched the show, I was interested in the CG).

Character wise, I liked it!

I'd give it a 7.5/10, but I'll round it up to 8!

only thing that saves it is the fights. Could have been executed much, much better.


This anime is full of useless drama and over-attached posessive lunatics, this episode kinda saved it so I gave it a 4/10.
I'm not sure if i'm stupid or if it just doesn't make that much sense..or perhaps it does but it wasn't properly explained.
Anyways, nice fighting, nice ending and black rock shooter ( the character ) is really fun to watch. That's about it. Other than that, despite the limited number of episodes, I nearly dropped it. It was dull.

Not sure why the top two reviews on the anime's MAL page are a 4 and 5 out of 10 respectively. Shit's fucked if you ask me. I mean, I gave it a 7 but it definitely wasn't bad. I had a really good time with this one despite some of its shortcomings.

I don't know, I guess I feel like it's being crucified for no reason.

While the drama was overplayed and personalities were slightly unrealistic, the plot is explained adequately enough... there are a few moments where it becomes confusing due to a lack of detail, like with Yuu suddenly becoming forgotten and Saya emotionally abusing people, but nothing to merit 4's and 5's.
7.5/10

Just finished the series and kinda surprised about the hate it's received.
On a strictly superficial level:
-The artwork was decent in the real world, and spectacularly creative and beautiful in the alternate,
-The story actually made sense and for me, was sufficiently explained. Any questions I had about the various character's motivations were all satisfactorily explained.
The soundtrack was good (can't go wrong with HM imo ;))
The characters were engaging and I was made to care about all of them (except Kagari who just never managed to be sympathetic at any point)

On a somewhat deeper level, the message that a person's life is going to get messy from time to time if they actually intend to *live* it, is a valid and valuable one.

And with everything said and done, they also managed to pull off a happy ending, which always works for me, so yeah. I liked it and I'll watch it again. :)

I didn't like the ending, but the TV series is much better than OVA. The TV series was more emotional and introduced more characters. Though, I prefer the character design from the OVA

8/10 for TV series and 6/10 for OVA

I just finished this, and to be honest, it was kind of confusing and hard to follow. Maybe I might understand more if I watch the OVA. In the last episode I did have a lot of my questions answered, but some of the episodes were kind of hard to enjoy because of the lack of detail until the very end.

lmaoo it tried so hard to execute a story and just fell flat on it's face. The only thing cool about the show was the character designs for the other world. If they stuck to the real world and the relationships between the characters it might had a chance to be good.

That was a badly executed dramatic ending for a series with underdeveloped characters that were difficult to relate to and feel attached to.

The OVA was able to portray friendships onscreen to a much better degree.

What the hell just fucking happened.
This show lost me so hard. So many plot holes. So many unanswered questions.
The fight scenes are awesome all the way through. But they got kinda bland once BRS went nuts.
The story was dull and confusing but the small scenes of friendship helped carry it through until the battles started again.
It started off really strong, then lost itself in the middle. But at least it had a happy ending. sooo..7/10 i guess. I'm a fairly generous rater..

I like the characters and the fight scenes are great,but the plot is bad.
There is a different world that just kind of popped into existence and people can also travel there...somehow.

It kind of feels like the had 2 different ideas for anime,one about schoolgirls and one about girls fighting in a fantasy world, and instead picking one they throw them both together.

In the sequel of this anime, it will become another one of those generic romcom anime, where a male protagonist comes in, and the 4 "renewed vision/aure" girls will take a liking to him, and have silce of life comedy happen in the show, you can count the teacher/guidance councilor in and that will be 5, plot twist the male also has an other self, and BRS harem revamp, fight scenes all over again, the end lol..
I bet the ratings would explode like any other of those genres of animes do in the industry *w* r
Nah who am i kidding, this anime's ending is actually pretty good imo, no strings, no loops just a clean fresh good ending :DD

Great conclusion! HanaKana monologue at the end was touching end to this mini-series.

I enjoyed it all the way. There were many hidden motives, and I would say it was great portrayal of high-school girls emotions and feelings. There were also those little details, character gestures or other bits you could only notice when you paid attention. It was great to see things hidden from casual view and it definitely has rewatch potential.

Those battles were litterally portrayal of clash of contradictory emotions, and it was visually pretty well done when one thinks about it. One can also view them like things only happening in their brains, like metaphor or personification rather than actual Otherworld. I also like how the bird story and those colors were intertwined with everythings else in the story. This series really had two layers and it's shame some people only saw one.

If you took this as fighting anime with some added drama, you really were doing something wrong.
Because this was school drama with another layer of visual drama underneath it (yes, those fights really wasn't there just for effect, you always had to ask important questions of who is doing what and why)

Count huke's designs to it and you have it complete. So, in the end, I am going to give pretty high score.

Ultimeto attack! Rainbow Cannon!

Fight scenes were good, fun to watch. All the traumatic psychological stuff and phrases like: "Let's be in pain together" ruined this anime for me. 3/10.

I finished watching this series today... I don't really know what to say about it. It was such a strange experience. The anime started off very strong, but got confusing for me in the later episodes. I also was a bit disappointed that Kagari's story ended so early, and she kind of became irrelevant in the later episodes. She really was my favourite character (personality- and design-wise), would've loved to see her having had a bigger role in the end.
The beautiful animation, awesome character designs and over the top action scenes in the 'other world' pretty much carried the last few episodes for me. I did like the ending, though.

Yuu is enraged about her rough past when she was in the real world and that no one would understand what pain she went through. However Strength believes that Yuu has strayed too long away from reality and in order to free Yuu of her fears and doubts, Strength decides she must perish in order to show Yuu that the her world is still bright and flourishing (growing up together with Mato).

Mato's able finally separate her conscious from IBRS and joining minds with BRS. Mato admits she regrets hurting others by putting all her doubts and worries in the hands of not only BRS but other "Otherselves" as well. IBRS acknowledges that they were made for that one purpose only and Mato disagrees by deciding she wants to see pain herself to "experience" the colours as she compares it to her book.

At the same time everyone in the real world seems to regain memory of their former-selves as the Otherworld breaks apart due to the conflict between IBRS and BRS. In doing so, the Otherselves heed the call of protecting their other forms because they care too much for their real counterparts despite having no emotions and act mainly on instinct. The colours from each of the Otherselves worlds collide and merge into one space once they lend their power to take down IBRS.

By the end, the girls have become more "grown up" while in the newly formed Otherworld, Strength becomes whole again and will continue to endure the pains and worries that may occur in events to come as stated by BRS.

Aside from the rushed cliche ending and some overdone drama throughout, it was still a unique concept that left me wanting more as I take an interest in psychological-related themes and of course, the world and characters of the Otherworld (unfortunate IBRS was the villain, bad ass to the end). It definitely has rewatchability but as said previously, some of the drama was a bit over the top and unnecessary.
