BRS? Black Rock Shooter right? :V
I was really hyped for it a while back, now not so much. Still hope its good.

...oh wait it's already "tomorrow." I need to go to bed...

Tengukami · « **Reply #302 on:** July 24, 2010, 02:21:49 PM »

I know I'm probably going to feel really dumb for asking this, but can someone explain BRS to me? I've been trying to figure it out through a couple different sources, and still can't get my head around it. This started as a drawing that just started getting passed around, got fan depictions, and then something involving a band or Vocaloid or something ... right? I don't know. Someone help me out here.

BLACKROCK SHOOTER originally started out as a song using the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.

A Japanese illustrator, huke, designed the character BLACKROCK SHOOTER based on this song. Because of BRS's massive appeal, the character of BRS became extremely popular and spawned a lot of fan art. huke also drew and designed similar characters such as Insane BRS (BRS wearing armor) and Dead Master. The massive popularity of BRS spawned a 1/8 PVC figure of her and the OVA most of us are excited about right now.

Tengukami · « **Reply #304 on:** July 24, 2010, 02:32:46 PM »

Fascinating. So a fictional character in a song inspired all this, and gained a life of her own?

I love it. That is probably the coolest thing I've heard in a week.

Not only that, but she's a total fucking badass too :*

Tengukami · « **Reply #306 on:** July 24, 2010, 02:39:21 PM »

Yeah, I always loved the artwork. I'd like to know more about this character; her profile, her backstory. Looks like I have some clicking around to do.

I see Tengukami has been infected by the Vocaloid Virus.

welcome, you are now of 'us'

Well, basically it is the best thing that ever happened with vocaloids.

Suikama · « **Reply #308 on:** July 24, 2010, 06:47:46 PM »

And it's out! I wonder who'll be done subbing it first?

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #309 on:** July 24, 2010, 07:00:50 PM »

Eclipse plz.

or Mazui.

Kasu · « **Reply #310 on:** July 25, 2010, 04:10:20 PM »

Who here thinks that Black Rock Shooter will get a sequel?

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #311 on:** July 25, 2010, 06:46:08 PM »

Me three hundred votes on a sequel.

because it is me we are talking about.

also, BRS OVA: I CAME 15 BUCKETS AND IT WON'T STOP.

This show is awesome shit, like so awesome the shit turned into rainbows and then because shooting stars that are seven colored.

Fruggles · « **Reply #312 on:** July 25, 2010, 07:42:08 PM »

Has BRS been subed yet, and by who? And it sucks that onemanga is shutting down, it was my primary source of manga.

An Odd Sea Slug · « **Reply #313 on:** July 25, 2010, 10:30:31 PM »

Mazui has got you covered there.

Anyway, I found the rather underwhelming and disappointing. The slice of life managed to simultaneously feel tacked on, yet I found them more interesting than the action scenes. Actually, the dreamworld scenes in general didn't do much for me. I like that they kept the dreamworld character's personalities ambiguous, but I think would've benefited from having at least a small bit of spoken dialog. Also would've helped the story make more sense. Overall it was fairly decent, but only that.

Nurarihyon no Mago seems interesting so far, though the art style keeps reminding me of Bleach for some reason.

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #314 on:** July 26, 2010, 02:54:25 AM »

It wasn't mean for that to be making much sense so much an artistic representation of hard fought relationship between two best friends.

I think that was all it truly meant to say.

So all the fighting was a metaphor for tribadism, right?

I found it funny how she plays Basketball and wears Chuck Taylors.

But honestly, Mato has some good dress style.

A-F, it seems we were both lurking around the same /a/ threads today.

Of course, I only know that because I was going to post that myself. :]

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #316 on:** July 26, 2010, 08:03:24 AM »

I was like looking into every BRS threads too...
well, likewise, if you don't like it, nobody can convince you otherwise, but for us, we love BRS no matter how it was told.

Just marathoned moyashimon. Not in the mood for BRS anymore.

Mm, is Moyashimon good? I've had it for a while now but haven't got around to watching it yet. :x

Also, I watched BRS last night. I was kind of hoping for more action and badassery, but it was still plenty good. I liked it. :3

Tengukami · « **Reply #319 on:** July 26, 2010, 06:40:06 PM »

Is it going to be an actual 12/13-episode season, or is this BRS vid a one-off?

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #320 on:** July 27, 2010, 04:01:57 AM »

one off.

because OVA are 1 hour long

the best I can hope for is something like Garden of Sinners - where every year or six months or so there is a new one to be added to it.

Extremely. Originally, I thought it was going to be some stupid educational kid's show, but it was quite entertaining. The best anime I've seen in a while. The dialogue is witty, the animation simple but dynamic. And, surprisingly, it's really, really funny. Especially the arc about the aphrodisiacs.

The one weak point, though, is the ending. The last few episodes feel rushed, and the last two especially are badly paced. And they're not even halfway through the story yet! Come on, make another season!

Fruggles · « **Reply #322 on:** July 27, 2010, 06:41:12 PM »

Just finished BRS. The random flashes of battle scenes just doesn't work. I am extremely disappointed about it,

Hmm. Seems that there's gonna be a Bakemonogatari prequel.

So they gonna animate the missing Koyomi Vamp chapter? But that's not really that long.

Spoiler:
especially at the end when they merged together I thought something amazing was going to happen... but then the credits started rolling. Also, there has to be a sequel about Yuu since there was two scenes of her in the dream world, but nothing ever happened.

It was sort of dissapointing. Even after

Spoiler:

. On a side note....

very funny~
look guys, I think part of the fun of watching BRS is not about trying to find flaws, as it is just about every other show there is. Then again, I find it relatively unfair for this to be judged on par of a full cast anime based on a visual novel say... like Bakemonogatari (ie, what you guys say is good); I think personally BRS is a great achievement in terms of animation presentation. I mean... c'mon, it was a song, and then an artist drew a character and swish kaboom 2 years later an OVA!

I reckon there is nothing like this in animation history, it is a pioneer in its type, and it is an enjoyable short somewhat slice-of-life yuri friendship struggle thing that sorta worked well. It is also, as I would dare put it: open to interpretations. Some however, chose to interpret it in very narrow fashion.

Ended my anime drought with Witch Hunter Robin. The MC was so spellbindingly awesome that I would've sat through the series even if it'd been terrible, but luckily everything else was pretty fantastic as well. Loved the general atmosphere and will probably look into Ergo Proxy or something that gives me a similar vibe next.

You should watch Utawarerumono next. Awesome MC there too.
