BRS anime (2012)

[leinaud]

It's sold out from Rob's Corner Anime Store (which may indicate that they got a small amount in, or the OVA is sold out period, haven't looked into it) but the price was listed as around $60, and I don't believe it came with a figma though.

Since you didn't give a link and I'm too lazy to search, I am just going to assume you mean the Blu-ray OVA? If so, it came with two nendoroid petits, the Blu-ray and DVD of the OVA, an art book, and a storyboard book. (The ENTIRE OVA in storyboard form). The OVA did come in just a DVD form and it was bundled with the Figma of the OVA BRS. Note: all forms came with multilingual subs.

^ Are you shitting me? You WANT Aniplex USA to get this? Aniplex USA, who would charge us $70+ for 2 episodes instead of the entire series like a sane company?

Well I'll say I worded that wrong, I wouldn't exactly be joy and happiness if Aniplex USA got it; though if they pump out a subtitled and dubbed bluray set some of the same extras I got in my Oreimo set and soon to arrive Madoka set. As well by the end of this year then that'd be enough for me to pick up a LE bundle for $70-80(and up to $150 if GSC decides to give the NA market a bone by adding Figma Insane BRS.)

Still Aniplex USA has regular editions of their releases for some of their titles, DVDs with 4 episodes for $30($40 for the bluray copies) on Right Stuff. So I wouldn't focus on the pricing for the limited edition bundles as much.

No idea where the plot's going, but it sure is awesome

4 episodes for 30 dollars? I can get a full season of a show for that much >.>

Anyway!

Do you like crazy-ass bitches, too? Then you'll REALLY love this show. Ohhhhhh boy, is it a ride.

I saw the first episode and it turned me off. Nothing that grabbed my attention, and the whole "Go away!" deal was a cheap way to creep everyone out. That's what happens when you get used to Corpse Party, everything else doesn't creep you out by default.

Corpse Party was barely 'creepy' though. In a lot of ways, it was just trying to gross you out. A game that actually tries to creep you out would be Amnesia, Siren, or Silent Hill 1-3. Corpse Party is a happy time rainbow compared to those games. Though, to be fair, Silent Hill does suffer from the same problem that largely made corpse party not that scary, you could walk around without any sense of danger for the majority of the game. Siren, thankfully, remedies that. And you NEVER feel safe.

But, I am able to be creeped out forever. I have somehow maintained my fear no matter how much I've been exposed to it. For which I am quite grateful. So those scenes did very much instill terror in myself.

For you. In that regard, everything you said is debatable.

And everything you said earlier is opinions, too. Funny how that works.

Don't think this discussion needs to go in this direction >_>

@Shiz: This show is an action/mystery/drama. I'm sure you've seen the various BRS characters in some form, so if you like them, the show is cool. If you were intrigued enough by the first episode, the followups do not disappoint. If neither of the above apply, you can probably skip it with no regrets.

I like the BRS character designs and the plot of episode 1 piqued my interest, so I've been enjoying it ever since.

Haven't checked out this anime yet, but planning on it when I finish everything else I'm watching.

By the way, in regards to people trying to hunt down the OVA. I got my copy when I got my Black Rock Shooter Nendoroid. Just saying~ Not sure if all BRS Nendo's come with one (though I kinda want a Dead Master, but my Figma of her is good enough.)

Of course, or else I wouldn't have said the word "my". If you look close enough, I always use the words to show my opinions are, indeed, opinions.

So the final episode aired yesterday...thoughts anybody? Anyone thinking there could be a second season?

[myskaros]

Spoiler:

Meh. I was waiting for all the girls to merge with the denizens and stop IBRS/Matou together, not just all stand there silently. I think I prefer the premise of the OVA more than this series. The whole "we are created and fight for your feelings in another world!" thing was kind of confusing and not all that interesting.

Spoiler:

yeah I actually was thinking the same thing. When they all just came out riding on their...colorful worms? I was like, "...okay sure why not." In my opinion, I think both the OVA and the anime series had their own things going for them. I just prefer the anime because 1) It was longer thus more awesome fight scenes and 2) It explained a lot more (connects to 1 obviously) Was it really "fight for your feelings" though? I thought they fought in the other world so as to lessen the pain of reality. IDK, the idea could use a little work...
