THIS SHIT WAS ASS BROOOO, I am so dissapointed at how this turned out!!! The excessive fanservice through the main villain, the way deadmaster's name was given. Even the characters were dissapointing! Although not everything was bad I give it that, the CGI was pretty cool, the opening was a banger 10/10 song, and... Damn its just that.
The random ass power ups and transformation in the middle of the series and at the end of the show was stupid and the fact that our mc lived after her death without a single logical excuse is bumming.
I hope that the next BRS show is as good or better than the original show.

Sad and depressing, and not just the story, the animation was bad, the plot was full of holes, the Character designs left me scratching my head. The only positive thing I can say was the end twist involving the antagonists plan was satisfying, that's it. The foul language and mentions of certain acts definitely left me feeling awkward especially after seeing the previous show. Nothing felt genuine, and everything felt forced, clearly a franchise being milked with lackluster content. The story was generic, the art style poorly implicated, the Characters were too sex driven at the start just to abandon it entirely, i highly recommend the original show but not this.

I loved the nods to the previous animation, especially the final scene. I personally think that you will be hooked from beginning to end without any doubt, I assure you, the ending is not predictable at all, on the contrary, you think that it is on a safe course and suddenly it gives us an unexpected slap in the face, I really liked that aspect, the change in the animation style is considerable, but personally I loved it a lot because of the use of cgi for the theme of the machines, but especially the scenarios, which I feel it makes them very realistic, the soundtrack is not even mentioned, it is excellent, especially in the action scenes and in the drama, to conclude I think that this anime is made for true fans of black rock shooter.

This anime was much better than I was expecting. It starts off sort of generic, with an apocalyptic war scenario. But the animation was really unique, even though I’m not a fan of the style in other works. The story eventually pulled me in, it definitely has an Ai / Antichrist type of situation, big robot evil world savior guy, was used to “educate” mean bad humans. And now there are robots everywhere patrolling and wiping out humans. Black Rock Shooter and her squad of cuties (from other BRS works/merch) come in to help the humans. I probably enjoyed it more than most people because I’m a sucker for symbolism. And there’s a really cool call back to the orgin of BRS at the very end of the last episode. It melted my heart.

Black Rock Shooter has a wide array of good media out there. This is not one of them.
The story is interesting in premise, for about 15 minutes, at which point it turns pretty rote and goes pretty much where you expect it to. The badassery that the franchise banks heavily on is absent. The mix of CGI and 2D art is worse than Inuyashiki; there were a number of times when I questioned how static the Colonel's model was attached to that vehicle's gunner seat.
This was an effort to get through, and I had to choke it down. If you're a fan of the franchise, I suggest you stay away. And if you insist, I'm sorry.

What to say about Black rock shooter?!
Huke sold the rights to his characters to people who suck at scripts and animation.
I think Black Rock Shooter would be a good game if it was scripted in a similar way to "drakengard". This new anime made me think a lot about it, because it has many interesting characters. If the universe of BRS were really a game, we could unify the stories of the high school characters and the warrior characters of this new BRS, in addition to the characters from the mangá. We would have three plans in this game: Black rock Shooter (First anime) - School, Black rock shooter (Dawn Fall) - Adult life/Futurist/Pos apocalyptic dystopian world and Black rock Shooter (mangá) - Spiritual/Astral. Working out timelines where everything comes together would be perfect, Yok…

I have never seen any form of Black Rock Shooter other than reading negative reviews of the first few anime. So I watched Dawn Fall with low expectation.
For the most part, this anime heavily reminds me of Mad Max.
Some extremely vulgar stuff like sex and gore that aren't fully displayed or animated, so it feels a little light-hearted despite the horrible context.
Most the characters are messed up and stupidly volatile. The main protagonist and friends have the classic plot-convenient amnesia and rely on it for easy development. The plot is straightforward.
Despite mainly using 3D animation, the show doesn't have stellar action scenes. Throughout the show, most of the action sequences are sloppily animated, and some important boss fights are awful. However, the first and last episod…

People gets Dawn Fall wrong and they forget a lot of things about the first anime.
First of all, BRS is originally a character created for a music from Ryo. The lyrics are about surpassing obstacles and the past.
Then the first anime, which had a story based on the lyrics on the view of the anime's creators, Ezaki and Yoshioka (won't elaborate to avoid spoilers), it's very beautiful and deep.
The second adaptation is also based on the lyrics but in a different way, you have to remember that Black Rock Shooter is a music video character based on Miku and that's it. All adaptations have all the freedom they want to create stuff. And the post apocalyptic world was the choice this time.
Arts: it's a fresh take much appreciated since we already had an adaptation with the original artwork. They…

When this anime was first announced I was immensely excited for it, I missed out on the first Black Rock Shooter hype trains my anticipation was through the roof.
Before you go into this show, let me warn you about one thing.
It's different, very different from the other 2 installments released prior.
Don't go in expecting more like that, if the previous 2 weren't to your liking however, you might enjoy this one more. Story:
I didn't like it very much in the beginning, the topics it touched on aren't my kind of topics. I don't like to see that sort of stuff in anime.
Later on it got better as the focus shifted away from those to some more to my liking.
Art:
Buyers beware, it's a CGI show. Though I didn't exactly mind it, during some scenes it really amused me and only a few times di…

Hello and good day to you BRS fans and readers and anime lovers and video game fans. I am writing this review to give you a FAIR review for the anime, which a LOT of BRS fans are claiming this version of BRS is crap and saying lines like "what have they done to BRS?" Its trash and bad etc. Clearly those BRS fans never saw more than 1 of the BRS anime and certainly didn't bother to play BRS: The Game when it came to the US many years ago on the PSP. Let me just say this, BRS is like many series like Megaman and Sonic the Hedgehog for example. What do I mean by that? I mean, it doesn't stick to 1 setting, nor 1 timeline/universe. Perhaps it'd be better to say its like all them DC and Marvel etc. Super Hero series in the US. See, BRS: The Game was a story set in a post apocalyptic world where…

i personally am generous when it comes to expectations, i was a big fan of BRS as a kid.
I liked the anime because of how it tries a unique art style mixed with CGI.
however i find it weird how some designs in this show are sexualised. i can only point out one of the non humanoid monsters, which looks like they have a pp for a blaster.. so weird.
the story was decent at best, i am generous when it comes to expectations. they offer some major choices yet also find a way to work around any bad things happening, leading up to a desirable ending.
I like it? I'm really confused about the ending though, it seems like they ran out of budget and had to cut it short.

Black Rock Shooter, for the third time in a row, is a swing and a miss. Apparently, Black Rock Shooter was initially designed by Ryohei Fuke, but I think almost all of us came to know and love this work from Supercell’s music video, “Black★Rock Shooter.” I love Vocaloid, I love Supercell’s works, yet I never watched the anime or OVA when it came out since I basically knew that an anime based off a music video is basically destined to be terrible.
I watched them both by sheer coincidence just months ago, and it’s safe to say that both of them were pretty horrendous. I think anyone who watched the music video would have just wanted a stylized Miku fight some baddies with her cool motorcycle and katana. Instead, you were subjected to the most mediocre and edgy melodrama, with intermittent sce…

I just watched the last episode and I'm extremely sad because I really like this franchise, they rushed through practically the entire anime and in the end it didn't show the outcome of the story.
On the other hand, I really liked the villain Lunatic who was very charismatic
The characters, Strength and Dead Master are pretty cool.. I missed the Black Gold Saw that unfortunately didn't appear due to the change in the anime's story
The anime has a vulgar image/language and at times I laughed at some +18 jokes
In my opinion it could have been much better, but if you're a big fan like me of the Black Rock Shooter series then it's obvious you should watch it

Black Rock Shooter, where did you go? Never has that line been more true. I guess this adaptation definitely evoked this line of the song, by destroying everything else.
I really don't feel this is fair to call a BRS story, as it really feels like a subpar light novel (which it was) that only got greenlit by attaching itself to the BRS identity. None of these characters, plot, or setting has to be a part of BRS, and as a consequence of that none of this feels like it is.
This show is an absolute edgelord nightmare of mediocre writing. In early episodes it tries its best to be gritty and dark, throwing around copious curses, death, and rants about sex as well as repeated on screen rape. None of this serves any purpose other than trying to establish this as edgy, though once it goes away i…
