Black★Rock Shooter 01: First Impressions

Girls wielding highly dangerous weapons . . . that's what I'm talking about! ;)


I was expecting a little more of this episode though.  Compared to the OVA, this first episode was a lot like any other slice of life.  It had more drama and comical relief this time, but I would have managed without the humor. I also didn't find any reason to connect with the characters or care for them at all.  For example, the fact that Mato and Takanashi have to once again meet was a bore. That heartwarming feeling was not there anymore. Their friendship was moving too fast and I would have preferred it continue onto the next episode, but 8 episodes doesn't give you much time, so I can't expect it to slow down.

Other than that, the action was pretty bad ass.  I enjoyed the character designs and the dangerous weapons. The villain was creepier than ever, but who I really look forward to seeing is Yuu.  She is probably going to be the bestest, toughest, coolest looking opponent since she has already appeared in this episode as a friend of Mato's. Plus, I like that their battle ground/other world dimension or whatever reminds me of Madoka's world.  I think BRS can easily pass as a magical girl, no?
