I haven't been talking about anime for a long time
I was suppose to talk about Angel Beats when i completed it
but i have been very very busy.
So why talk about BRS OVA when im so busy?
Simply because the ova was a different from what i expected
not that that is a bad thing~

The BRS OVA is about two girls Mato Kuroi and Yomi Takanashi, or who we better know as Black Rock Shooter and the Deathmaster respectively. How did they become Black Rock Shooter and Deathmaster is for you to watch and find out.
[I would be giving out some spoilers, inevitable, after all this is a review]

To me, the OVA was lead by emotion. For me, familiar emotions.
I could really relate to Yomi.
The scene when Yomi was in a melancholic state while Yuu and Mato were happily chatting brought back the feelings i had when i was in Yomi's place.

What made my heart drop was the scene after that when both Mato and Yomi were on the train. Yomi's pained reassurance to Mato that she was alright when she really wasn't.
I started to tear.

I managed to finish the OVA without crying a river, but what really impresses me is how the production team could bring out that feeling of lonliness which i can still feel whenever i think of the OVA. Good job!

Onto a more cheerful aspect, I found the lack of dialouge which is especially prominant in the beginning to be very refreshing. It gave the OVA a very down-to-earth feeling during the 'reality scenes'
The lack of dialouge was also present in most of the action sequences.
I thought that it was quite pleasant because it seemed to enhanced the atmosphere of the scenes for me, particularly so for the scenes which BRS stretches out her hand to the Deathmaster as well as the scene which the Deathmaster licked her claws.

I found the story to be quite fluid, in terms of building the relationships between the charcters.
They also broke up the action scenes and scattered them thoughout the OVA, a very clever move i must say. Keeping the action sequence together could make the show dull and predicatable. The separated action scenes kept me eager for more and increased my curiousity about what would happen next.

There was also something that made me unsatisfied.
Although the story was pretty smooth, the extra characters like Strength and Black Gold Saw seemed super redundant to me.
Don't get me wrong, their appearance made me excited, but it became quite a disappointment when it seemed that all they were there for was to fill up screen time.
I felt that it would be best if they had a reason or connection to the storyline. If not, the plot revolving around the two girls would be sufficient for a 50 minute OVA

After watching the OVA my next question was
CLIFFHANGER???
Considering the appearance of Strength and Black Gold Saw as well as Yuu's position in the final part of the OVA, i believe there could be a continuation.
But would it really happen, is a question that only time will tell.

Overall, the BRS OVA is awesome, all BRS fans shouldn't miss it for the world~
