BRS anime (2012)

[Sheleigha]

I always thought Kagari was an odd character...

Spoiler:

Before her other self, Chariot, got killed by BRS, she was INSANE!! The sad thing is, I know people like her exist in real life... So needy, willing to injure herself so that poor Yomi couldn't leave her :/
Then after Chariot died, Kagari become... a sort of blank slate. Not much of a personality to speak of, and yet those two friends of hers LOVE her and are VERY defensive about her for some reason 0_o. I found her to be... awkward after her personality transformed... It wasn't until the very end did she seem to become a real person.

Spoiler:

I agree her "Nice" and "Formal" attitude after she actually GOT feelings back was kind of...unsettling, made me feel really unsafe XD Even after she "awakened" so to speak I was still feeling a little weird to her. Guess it's to be expected when someone goes from "Complete Psycho" to "Normal Human being" in less than 3 seconds...

Spoiler:

She didn't "regain" her feelings, she lost her memories and relationships causing her pain and suffering. So her resulting personality can be construed as if she had never gotten emotionally attached to Yomi.

If NISA is looking for any upcoming series to bring to the West, might this be up for consideration?

Wait what? O_o

NIS America localizes some anime, so maybe Black Rock Shooter could be one.

[Sheleigha]

I'd suspect either Nisa or Aniplex would be the ones that get the rights to it. Nisa, only if Aniplex passes, and if Ani does get it... Well, I hope they bring figures with it to justify the price >_>

8 episodes isn't enough...

8 episodes isn't enough...

I felt quite satisfied actually ~

[ivanchu77]

I just finished the OVA and the 8 episodes a moment ago

Really enjoyed it, nice fight scenes and touching at the end, but goddamn, everyone was batshit insane (Yomi specially, some of her faces were epic lol ), and only 8 episodes felt short

Really eager to play the psp game now

[LAMV]

In a few more months it will be one year since NISA licensed BRS: The Game. And still nothing on it.

Either Sony are being Phony as usual or Imagepooch are being Imagebitch.

[ivanchu77]

The ending was unintentionally hilarious now that I think of it

Spoiler:

BRS saying that she fights because she loves Mato and wants to carry her suffering when a few minutes before she gives her a merciless beating leaving her in a bloody mess and with nearly all of her bones broken

Sometimes you need to be tough with your love

She was just

Spoiler:

trying to show Mato why they took on what they did, and what it meant to take on that pain. Basically helping Mato to understand that she couldn't be so wishy-washy anymore.

So I saw the OVA

AAAAAND

The anime was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!

I give the OVA a 6/10. It had good moments, but there was never really much to get into. And the ending just...yeah ....pretty much a repeat cycle.

Glad that it got people interested enough for the anime to be born, but really not sure how it achieved that.

I remeber the OVA as been better than the Anime expect for Last Episode

Well, teh OVA didn' really get into any characters. By the end, I really knew next to nothing about everyone. With the anime, i was pretty darn knowledgeable about Mato and Yumi, as well as Crazy girl, and the friend girl, and even some about The manager girl. I also learned a fair amount about the counselor. There was also a lot more conflict, and there was much more resolution at the end. And explanation of just what BRS/Strength/Dead Master were. Heck, they didn't even give the names of anyone but BRS.

And I've seen 2 episode/55 minute long anime actually feel like they had more substance before.

That's ALL opinion though. What I can say objectively, is that the animation quality was much better in the anime.
