So the highly anticipated Black Rock Shooter has arrived..for a 52 minute romp! Pretty standard animation for the real world but the artistry for the "Other" world (as we do not know what this place is this is what I've dubbed it) blows the real world away. The fight scenes are cool as the characters' powers are played out. However, the struggle seems to be one-sided. Just what the hell is this "Other" world? It's empty yet full of barren lands and great stone structures (all to be destroyed). From the looks of the story it seems there is a triangle of attention and jealously between the three main characters. In the real world two of the girls go back and forth between the main protagonist's attention. While in the "Other" world the main girl (aka Black Rock Shooter) constantly battles the other self of her first friend in the real world. You also see glimpses of the third girl traveling toward the other two in the "Other" world. Just how do the girls get such powers? And just how did the girl disappear and where is she?
For some reason I get the feeling that the underlying tone is relative to FLCL. I say this because the "Other" world could just be an imaginary world where the girls duel to sort out their feelings because they cannot deal with them in reality. It seems to me the BRS story is really about adolescent girls coming of age..dealing with deeper bonds of friendship and the trials of jealousy that draw the line between being lonely or not. In the end the story is not what I expected but I'm curious to see where it all goes.
