Black Rock Shooter! You will either love it! Or hate it! (you will love it)
This has definitely got to be one of the most overlooked animations I've seen. Black Rock Shooter, otherwise abbreviated to BRS is simply out-standing even though there are only 8 episodes.
From what I've gathered, Black Rock Shooter, a mysterious girl with a burning blue eye clad in a black cloak with a cannon/machine gun is the primary protagonist, mirroring her counter part, in a way, in a parallel universe - Mato Kuroi.
It follows Mato (Black Rock Shooter) who befriends another girl, Yomi Takanashi  (Dead Master) who is friends with a (border-line) psychotic yet adorable girl, Kagari Izuriha (Chariot). Other characters include the 'Black Gold Saw' and 'Strength'. Its pretty much a bullet-fest from the get-go and I loved every minute of it!
The animation style is quiet unique, something I don't think I come across often enough, yet nonetheless I found excruciatingly enjoyable! It gives every scene a very nice 'Crisp and Clear' look to it!
As a man of action, I have to admit the real lift characters bored me. Their problems and alter egos however, did not! I would personally love to have a machine gun/cannon but alas, it's just not meant to be! The action sequences are visually orgasmic! Every episode satisfied my need to see a hail of bullets launched across my screen! The visuals were very smooth, nothing seemed to jerk unless it made the scenes a million times better! And if anyone is a fan of action. This reason is enough for you to stop reading, and starting watching!
The sheer array of colors were a treat to my eyes! A flash of blue,red,orange and soon enough I was having a seizure of rainbow-awesomeness! Each universe or 'world' had a distinct style to it, along with its own unique yet similar landscapes,color palate and atmosphere, enough to generate an emotional tie to each character!
Sadly, I can't rattle on as much as I like without giving too many spoilers away since Black Rock Shooter only has 8 episodes and an OVA. But fans of action, look no further, Black Rock Shooter will definitely satisfy your need for action!
