BRS ブラック★ロックシューダ
More than just a song, probably more than an OVA and now a full fledged TV series.

-Mato Kuroi just got into junior high school, and on the first day, someone catches her eye; her classmate Yomi Takanashi. The two meet.The innocent and naive Mato. The mature Yomi. Seemingly opposites, but the time they spend together only strengthens a growing friendship. But as they go into their second year at the school, they get placed in separate classes, and they begin to grow apart. But somewhere simultaneously... In another world, a young girl, blue fire residing in her eyes, Black Rock Shooter faces another young girl; this one holding a jet-black scythe, Dead Master, and a battle to the death begins to unfold.

TV
-In spring, two girls meet: Mato and Yomi. They each sense something in the other that they lack in themselves, and are drawn to each other in spite of their contrasting personalities. Though initially hesitant, they form a strong connection. But they both have secrets - and in an empty world, two girls fight: Black Rock Shooter and Deadmaster. A strange being, Black Gold Saw, watches their mysterious battle, laughing. This is the story of two girls, in two worlds, entangled by the threads of fate.
Personally, one of the best bits about this anime is that it is based on nothing more than a song, which gives it a lot of free space to self develop oitself into a great show or a poor show depending on its merits. What I came to project is that it is like Marvel Universe of Black Rock Shooter or something similiar, where in each section, BRS ends up fighting different people in different universes with different ideals and so on, and each correlate with each other somehow...
The game and the anime and the OAV all seem to have varied exploration, and each has its own particular theme.
:ohdear:
Highlights and hopefuls:
1) WRS White Rock Shooter actually makes an appearance
2) Black Gold Saw gets a real character.
3) -
