Obviously what got people attracted to it to begin with is the character designs,that's what i love most about it,there's also the amazing animation.
But overall its really nothing great but not as bad as you make it out to be.

I watched the Anime. I made the connection between the two worlds. I was not impressed. so many months of waiting left me wanting something great. It was simple. basic. to the point. That left it generic and overall not easy to watch, but hard to pull my eyes from in hopes it would redeem itself in the last 30 minutes. Good job, Supercell, Huke, Ryo, and Good Smile Company. You made something great. Too bad Ordet's Quality was not enough to make this a phenomenom.

I expected nothing, and I got nothing.

Why did I watch it? Because I watch just about anything.

Why do I complain when I expected nothing? Just because I expected it to be bad doesn't mean I can't complain when it turns out bad... does it?

Did I understand the story? I think I did. At the bare minimum, I understand the order of events... But I like flow, and this didn't have any.

Easy. If most people don't "get" it, then it's not worth getting, or like me, have no motivation to try to figure it out and just wish for it to end. From the start, it is boring, and there is nothing to get.

Pretty solid 5/10 there, some interesting parts, don't regret watching, extremely mediocre.

EDIT: Yes, Mars of Destruction was so bad it's hilarious.

Well, I'm sorry to say, but if you don't like taking the time to get the point and meaning of something, then you're pretty lazy, because it doesn't take a lot of work to understand what this OVA was about.

I'm not saying it was that great, but for real, it was definetly nottt the worst anime ever.

Definitely not the worst. But it just lacks something....it was...too simple? Non-linear narration was done in a rather poorly-executed way....I think 50 minutes is too short for a more complex story.

Ending is probably teaser for sequel with Yuu possessed or something like that....

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I thought it's simplicity was great. I'm a fan of stories that tell simple tales and convey a simple, easy to understand message with that tale. There's nothing wrong with a more complicated plot, or a more complicated meaning, but I personally enjoy a simple story with a simple meaning. BRS is a great example of this. It's story is an easy to follow, character driven story about friendship, and it's message is simply to cherish those important to you or you may have to go through a lot, and it conveyed that message clearly.

And I also think it's a great example of non-linear story telling in how it managed to keep it's mood (it made sure you knew there was more than just these 2 friends) right, yet also managed to be easy to understand, once it was over, you realised that the otherworld scenes took place after the real world ones. (Evidently some people didn't, but is that a fault of the production studio or the individual viewer? That's arguable either way.)

Personally, and I doubt many people like it quite as much as I do, I absolutely loved it for it's great animation, art, music, likeable characters and in my opinion, well-written, beautifully simple story and message. It's one of my favourite animated works ever.

Of course, people are free to think whatever they want about it, this is all just my opinion.

I thought this anime was going to be overrated but I actually really enjoyed it.
Music was great, animation was exactly the kind I like and the bonds between the girls were also enjoyable.
There are indeed better anime out there but this one was really cute and had a great mix of everything it needed to have.

This sums up my feelings exactly. I enjoyed it completely, especially the fight scenes and how the friendship was portrayed throughout. Although, I wouldn't mind a 13 episode version, this OVA has a lot of potential.

This.

I thought for a 50 min OVA, it accomplished its goal fairly decently. Yes, the ending seemed like a throwaway, but if that's your main point of why you deem this as "terrible," then I believe you are completely overlooking the themes of the story.

BRS felt more like an art project then it did a franchise. perhaps they'll start up a series and fix up the story. It's not the worse, and I watch some pretty bland crap.

for all of those who bare through terrible anime, find me a show that has terrible off-model character designs that are ugly as heck.
have over used, cheesy, poorly done, or no music.
Has no story, runs too slow or too fast.
makes you want to rip your eyeballs out for lack of originality
AND is over hyped.

Then we can compair. Actually, I want to see if I can sit though an episode.

for heaven sakes! I sat through 13 episodes of Mecha Mote Iinchou.

Ok, For all those who don't understand the storyline, I am going to explain it.

Basically this story is a slice-of-life with an action twist. It can be intresting but only if
(A) You are into Slice-of-life shows, action & good art
& (B) You understand the storyline.

Ok, Well, the Story line is of Mato & Yomi who become bestfriends as you obviously know if you've watched the show,

But as Mato starts to hang out & grow close to Yuu, she starts to ignore Yomi without realizing.
Yomi, feeling ignored becomes sad & jealous and can only think that the only way to grab Mato's attention & see if she really cares is to run away.

Meanwhile another wolrd is forming, the world in in Yomi's sad & jealous mind from being ignored by her bestfriend, and all she wants to do is get revenge on Mato for leaving her, even so theres a part of her dos'nt want to hurt her close friend & that part is inside her strange 'alter ego'/'other self' & is the part of her that Mato must save.

After saving her they return to school, grow close friends again, but now Yuu is feeling left out & is forming her own little world like Yomi did before...
---

So basically its like the fights average girls get into with their friends, so its basically kinda like a slice-of-life. Its understandable that some people don't understand the story as some of them havn't gone through this kind of thing or a boys who don't really have to go through this kind of thing because, after all, its only something that happens because of the conflicts in a young maidens heart.

& So I hope you've got a better understanding of the story now ^ ^
Its a pretty good show in my opinion as i can relate to it, also i enjoy the action scenes & the artwork but then again thats just me -shrugs- .

@otakufangirlism, i thought the girls in the other world were already established and so Yomi isn't the girl with green eyes.
Also, i didn't think it was obvious that Yomi ran away. Maybe i missed something but i thought it was that she disappeared and they thought she had run away but Mato finds out what really happened?

@ AkkarinKHR: I think I understood most of the story but the onther day i did some research to make sure, Apparently, like you said, Black rock shooter & Death Scyth were allready there, after Black rock shooter had fought Black Goldsaw (& lost DX) she was reincarnated so she could help Mato save Yomi who had been possesed by Death Scyth since she had been holding the feelings of sadness & jealousy inside which matched Death Scyth's character.

I Think that i explainded the storyline pretty good before, as it was practically correct, there was just more history to the story than i had originally known that could've been included if i had known ^ ^

I guess the reason you don't lik-

Opps, sorry, the reason

YOU F***ING HATE IT LIKE IT KILLED YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND TORTURED YOU IN HELL

is because it seems to be an anime for girls. The characters and storyline is a heartwarming friendship story.

You can't say it's the worst anime cause it has some of the best sound effects
You can't say it's the worst anime cause it has some of the best art

Well, they are going to make a RPG based off of it.
And the anime itself is probably going to have more to it. I doubt they'll leave the story as it is, since there are quite a handful of characters that are yet to make their appearance.

Surely it's a troll account, 62 days straight of anime and hates almost all of it.

I really didn't think this was too bad, yeah it really lacked a lot of substance or whatever but it was 50minutes long, what do you expect? I did watch this after the TV series though, and I have to say the character designs for the real world were a lot more appealing imo.
