Status: Complete (50 minutes TOTAL)
Premis: There is none. There I said it. Well you could say this is about two highschool freins that drift apart after they are put in seperate classes in their second year..... but I wouldn't.
-Notes: Alright there are a few things you need to be told going in hence my change in format. THIS IS NOT AN ANIME, THIS IS A MUSIC VIDEO. This OVA series was originaly the music video produced by a Japenease rock band named Supercell, they found the original illustrations (art depicting the fight scenes) on a blog by a guy named Huke and the band were inspired to write a song entitled "Black Rock Shooter" in its honour (I guess). There were originaly 3 short clips strung together forming the video but it was expanded to a full length OVA when the song took off, they re-released the entire thing in OVA format flushing out a modest plot and providing the music themselves. (ALL HAIL WIKIPEDIA! ALL HAIL WIKIPEDIA!)
Thaughts: Don't expect much, but do watch it. There is no inspireing story here and they never explain what is actualy happening you just kind of take a leap of faith. Basically watch it for the excellent soundtrack, interestning art style and decently heartwarming plot. It's only 50 minutes it won't kill you.
Prose: Soundtrack rules as you would expect from a music video, also the fight scenes are well coriagraphed, the artstyle for them is interesting as well.
Cons: Be prepared not to understand what the hell is going on, EVER. They never explain what exactly hapens at the end nor how it resolves itself.
7/10 (ROCK ON)
