Overall rating: 9/10
Have you ever wondered what happened when your emotions get hurt? Well Black Rock Shooter shows a interesting view of what happens to that pain. After watching the OVA about a year ago I had a interest in BRS. With the Anime's twisting plot, Hardcore fights, and interesting character design I would recommend everyone giving it s try.
Story: 9/10
Basically the story revolves around two girls Mato and Yomi who have many burdens and pan in their life's. Over time more characters are introduced and each has their own other world personality that holds their pain.
Characters: 10/10
Besides the fact of all the main characters having their own other world self sheltering their pain, the people in the real world we full of drama and emotions. Mato is a kind girl who hates fighting and pain while her other self "Black Rock Shooter" is a emotionless killer of the other girl's other self's. The rest of the cast also has their own personality's and traits that makes them unique.
Setting: 8/10
I personally have mixed feeling about the setting as it contains two different worlds. One is the real world where the cast deals with their problems in a high school type setting while the second world is full of different places that change depending on what is going on with their real life's self. It just depend on what is happening that makes the setting good.
Music: 10/10
Having the opening the official song titled "Black Rock Shooter" sung by Hatsune Miku really helped add the feeling into the anime. The ending song titled "Bokura no Ashiato" or "Our Footsteps" really added a great feeling to the anime as well with it's happy tune. The music during the anime as also very good as it fit the theme of what was going on.
Final Statement:
Being a only Eight episode long anime, I encourage people to give it a try. It is full of emotions and drama with a dark interesting plot and setting. But if you willing to give it a try I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
