Black Rock Shooter

To be honest, up until this point I had no idea about anything called Black Rock Shooter – I've seen plenty of fan art, but the story behind it (if there is one) was a mystery to me. I thought Black Rock Shooter was a girl fighter. She just fights and fights in her dark and dusty world, and the action is present. Now it seems to me that Black Rock Shooter is a little girl who rescues her bricked-up friend Mato from that beautifully dusty world where the floors have a checkerboard pattern. You’re not playing with me? I'll disappear and cause trouble. One gets rescued, the other suddenly isn't the center of the conversation, so it ends up open-ended, where I'm sure she'll also make a mess. Well, sorry, but no. I don't like self-centred little girls. If they had just left it to the action, if they hadn't even tried to explain why the girl is fighting, (after all, it's just an OVA, who asked them to?), it would have been fine. Just show the Black Rock Shooter in action and kinda the ending that was there, just let the viewers figure it out. Why show it like that with their high school years? It’s too bad, because it definitely has more "drama" in it than it showed us. Plus, and I don't know why, I really missed a decent opening sequence... (28.08.2010)
