Black★Rock Shooter

  Quality is kinda meh to me so far (Dramatic quality drop on Mato, her face looks sorta derpish, and I don't really like how they added glasses to Deadmaster/Yomi), but I kinda expected that to happen considering the OVA would have a lot more attention put into detail than the actual series.
  
  Edit : Oh yeah, another thing that kinda annoyed me was how over dramatic / corny they made the first ep out to be.

  Well, I'm guessing that the storyline's much different. What was the original of this anyways?

  There isn't really any original storyline to Black Rock Shooter considering the BRS universe began mainly as artwork by huke. The OVA's storyline is mainly vague in that it doesn't clearly explain the relationship between the main characters and their other world versions (i.e. Mato and BRS, Yomi and Dead Master). Generally what happened was Yomi and Mato became good friends, and then Yomi began to grow jealous of Mato's friendship with Yuu as the two became more distant, which ended up with Dead Master manifesting from Yomi, disappearing in the real world for Mato to save her as Black Rock Shooter, or something along those lines.

  I guess that would explain the already made deviations from the OVA then.

  The OVA was disappointing, but I think I'll give this a chance and hope.
  The vocals in the original were stronger, too. Maybe they should have used Solid append, instead. This sounds too soft.

  EDIT: One of them looks like a Meltdown Rin.. XD
  
  EDIT 2: The animation has some nice-ish moments but it's kind of all over the place. Sometimes their hands are huge and their heads look so weird.

  Wonderful cliffhanger for episode 2. I now have no clue how the next episode will start.

  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Am I the only one who thought, "How the hell are they getting away with yelling and acting all dramatic in a hospital? Where are all the goddamn nurses?"[/SPOILER]

  I can't watch this until I get home but the way this is going I'm hardly caring about spoilers.
  
  Edit: Less boring than ep 1, at least.
  I just can't take giant flying macaroons seriously, but whatever. Other stuff was neat. I'm actually kind of curious about what will happen next.

  Blu-ray box comes with Limited Edition Insane BRS figma. Of course, it's ridiculously expensive ($300 USD). I think I'll act depressed in a corner now.

  $300....
  This is why I don't own figures.

  At this point, I don't even know what the hell is going on anymore.

  I had a similar feeling watching the OVA, just because things didn't really connect as well as I think they'd hoped they would.
  
  I'll have to wait to watch this one, though.

  Watched episode three...
  
  [spoiler]Just in case there are people who don't know/think so but the counselor must be Black Gold Saw. At least, it leans more and more in that direction. In the "dream" world she's the one creating these dolls that look like they could end up being someone's alter-ego. Certainly parallels real life with the way she's starting to manipulate people.
