This anime tells the story of Mato Kuroi, a student who starts her first year of college. On her first day she meets a girl named Yomi Takanashi. Very quickly, despite their opposite personalities almost completely, the two girls become inseparable friends and spend their peaceful life together. But at the same time, in a world parallel to theirs, a girl, with eyes tinged with a blue light, is preparing to fight another girl going by the name of Dead Master. What is the relationship between these two worlds?
Black Rock Shooter being only an 8 episodes anime, the achievement could only be very neat and pleasant: the goal is reached without difficulty. A story full of mystery that alternates scenes between the two worlds and that will not necessarily be appreciated by all, because of the constant misunderstandings until the final revelation. But this is a concept that has proven itself more than once (Higurashi no naku koro ni). And when we finally realize the true meaning of the content of the anime, it will appear to many as a surprisingly touching story that was really well designed. The animation can be described in one word, beautiful. The battle scenes are especially gorgeous and flawless. The music is provided by Ryo, Supercell band leader and composer of the original clip of Black Rock Shooter. Darkly rhythmic, his music transports us to the heart of a dark world to make the immersion even more successful. Finally, the characters. Black Rock Shooter and the soundtracks are the main drivers of this anime. And for good reason, the main character (and all others for that matter) has an extraordinary charisma. All this in a world of loneliness and desolation. On this side, everything is subject to the ovation.
In conclusion, this series is not to be placed in the same basket as other anime. In short, Black Rock Shooter simply nears perfection and deserves its place in any collection, Not as an anime destined for glory, but as a rare and unique work of art. It is also for this reason that i believe a sequel series would be quite inappropriate. This anime is already very well in terms of achievement.
