From a simple idea by a man who imagine something else than your average run-of-the-mill anime to something out of the ordinary.  Thus, Black Rock Shooter is born as a concept and with just a few designs to run on it quickly gain momentum back in 2008. After that as they say it’s history.

Those who are familiar with the popular voice synthesizer “Vocaloid” will be familiar with BRS herself as the main character is closely mirror off Harsune Miku but at initial stage that was not the case as she have no twin tails — she is just mato. The official launch of the OVA was at the 24th of July 2010, which is yesterday have made fansubber country wide busy like no tomorrow.

No worries if you don’t get to watch it because it will be streaming free as a way to promote the anime from 25th of July till 31th of August but so far I can’t find the free stream. Youtube is always a great source. If not, I bet your anime distro will have them. Try AnimeTake.com they have the latest every time.

The 50 minutes length OVA is pretty good in my term with its animation and good blending of cinematic from revolving scenes of battles. Moreover, Mato is too cute with her carefree self on the other hand Yomi is more mature then her. Hmm.. which do you prefer? I better shut up before I let the cat out of the box.

Plot summary

Mato Kuroi just got into junior high school, and on the first day, someone catches her eye; her classmate Yomi Takanashi. The two meet.The innocent and naive Mato. The mature Yomi. Seemingly opposites, but the time they spend together only strengthens a growing friendship. But as they go into their second year at the school, they get placed in separate classes, and they begin to grow apart. But somewhere simultaneously… In another world, a young girl, blue fire residing in her eyes, Black Rock Shooter faces another young girl; this one holding a jet-black scythe, Dead Master, and a battle to the death begins to unfold. — ANN

A recommended watch by me. Even BRS herself approved! lol~

    Yes, I agree that the show need more information about its background and history.

    I enjoyed it somewhat,
    the chars were all right
    but it needs fleshing out.
    We don't even know who the black rock shooter is!

    As fossil98 said, not bad, not the best either.
    It seems like something is missing…

    I know the anime itself is missing some critical elements that usual shows should have but when you think about it. The whole thing is not created by a big company behind their back nor a bunch of animator who just want to cash in.

    If my sources are correct these animators are from those who are fired from ex-kyoto animation and the plots behind is still relatively young. Furthermore, the creator is still seeking opinions about his brainchild.

    Episode 1 to me is a test run for future releases. Try supporting the company, artists and creator by giving your opinions.
