airichan623's Review Let me just start this by saying that the OVA version of Black Rock Shooter is much better. The animation in this series is beautiful, and I encourage you to watch this for the sake of that alone. This is a very dark series, but I find it an interesting insight into the mind of the depressed. In this show, all emotional struggles are fought out physically in a "Other World." It's a sad and depressing series, but beautiful all the same, as it encourages people to not resign themselves to a certain fate, and reminds us that we can always rewrite our own futures. That being said, the biggest flaw of this series is its own length. The concept deserves a lot more time and it lost some of its power in that everything was crunched into such a short amount of time. Still, I personally liked this series a lot. Violence/Gore The "Other World" is filled with violence and multi-colored blood (its never red for some reason). However, Kagari is very abusive towards Yomi in the "Real World" to the point of actually cutting into Yomi's skin. Certain characters also go mildly insane and almost hurt each other or become self destructive. One girl also paints a disturbing picture depicting blood. Nudity/Sexual Content Not much here, except for Black Rock Shooter and Black Gold Saw's bikini tops and tiny shorts. Also, some people would call this a Girl's Love (shojo-ai) series when it really isn't. It's all in your interpretation. I saw it as friendship myself. Theological Themes None that I can think of right now. Problamtic Themes This is a very dark series in tone, and is not for younger viewers. A girl is also suspected of burning her own house down and (presumably) killing her parents in the process. |
