    First off welcome to the blog! looking forward to seeing more posts/reviews always exciting to see new people getting into this type of thing.

    I really enjoyed this movie great soundtrack,animation but story was a bit strange felt like two animes in one to me. Will be interesting to see of another movie comes out or they do a 12 episode series, overall I wanted to see more fights rather than the school stuff but wasn’t to bad a bit boring in some parts.

      ~Ah, thank you! ^^
      Yeah it did feel like two different animes, I actually got confused for a bit hahaha. I heard they might do another OVA with some new people, but I’m still not sure. And YES I would have loved more battle scenes too!

    Teehee. Yeah, I thought it really took its time setting everything up too, but the switching between worlds kept up the tension =D I will probably be stealing some of these pretty screencaps now XD

    Welcome, Hoshi-san! ^^ Although Kuroshitsuji is on hold for me, I’ll be looking forward to your manga posts. There aren’t a lot of people doing those lately since they’re more absorbed in anime so it’s nice to know someone will do them.

    As for the OVA, I don’t think you could have put it more perfectly. I wouldn’t call it the greatest watch of the year but it’s very enjoyable if you gave it the chance. I guess the ones who didn’t like it much didn’t warm up to the relationship between Mato and Yomi or the slice-of-life traits of the OVA and had their more-action expectations let down. Which is reasonable.

    Still, it was good. I share similar thoughts on that theory of yours about Mato and Yomi’s alter egos except instead of the physical battle “inside them”, I believe it’s probably extended into another world altogether. Maybe if they decide to have a sequel, we might get some confirmation on that. And maybe more action.
    And I’m dying to get the music and can’t wait to get my copy on DVD this December.So excited. x3

      ~Thank you for the welcome ^^ Yeah, when I applied, I knew that writing about manga was one of the things that I wanted to do.

      Ah, exactly what I thought about the people who didn’t like it! I was talking to friends and they were always like, ‘Oh it was so boring’ and such, but they just didn’t try to find the mystery behind it, hahaha. I know that I was let down on the action-part, but I still managed to enjoy it.

      Oh, I see what you meant, I guess that’s what I was trying to say, about their alter ego’s physical battle ^^;
      Thank you for the comment~!

    The art was definitely beautiful and had two the female seiyuus I like. I think OVA was a better choice than an anime.

    Btw, keep it up Hoshi-chan~ ^^

      ~Yeah, I think if they made it into an anime, it would drag on and eventually viewers would get tired of it :/ I know I would have, hahaha.
      Ah, thank you ^^ I’ll be trying my best!

    welcome to metanorn hoshi-san! (i’m sorry i mixed you up with ryuuko-san at the ookami-san post. lol)

    i must agree that the art is superb, considering that it is being animated by a small company. i hope they’d release the next installation anytime soon! 🙂

    Yay~ welcome Hoshi~ I liked your review <3~!

    Though in my opinion this story had some holes (but how couldn't it? It was just an OVA after all). Or perhaps… I hoped for more deepness in it.
    I'll be waiting for a sequel to this or something, and hopefully another of your reviews~!

      Yeah, I felt that too, so I assume they’re gonna fill those holes with a sequel or something, hopefully.
      and thank you again!<3

    Yus, more BRS reviews. Loving the various reactions to this anime. Personally loved it. You got the idea right, BRS and DM were used in this version of BRS to represent another world, inner emotions, while the original PV was about I belive BRS trying to find her sister DM. I like the story remix and new characters, awesome twist on it.

    Small correction of info; Huke wasn’t a member of supercell when he designed BRS, however Ryo, supercells songwriter, found and aproched him over making a song, leading to Huke joinging supercell. The most famous PV for BRS wasn’t actually animated by Huke, though, can’t remember who did it though.

      ~Yeah it’s really interesting to see everyone reactions, because before i wrote the review a lot of people were saying its pretty boring and not what they expected, but I too thought it was great. When I got to post my review, I finally found some people who said they thought it was good too, like you. I’ve never actually seen the original PV for it, so I was pretty new to this whole thing ^^; But after watching the OVA I might now.

      Oh oh oh! I see, thanks for that! I researched it only a bit before I actually wrote the review, so I didn’t find out too much. thanks for the comment!

    FYI: the unknown foe is called Black Gold Saw, and this wasn’t shown in the OVA but the wikia shows that Yuu has her “other self” called Strength (seriously) at the beginning u remember a girl with gigantic metal thing on each of her hands and had a weird tail, black hoody with white hair? that was her, but it didn’t tell who was she.
