Black Rock Shooter OVA
> get home from late movie
> find rest of team working on BRS
me: weren't we only going to do this if the subs were terribad?
them: yeah, well, we're doin it anyway.
me: O...kay...
So there you have it. I realize it's quite late, but here you go anyway. Completely TLC'd and re-edited to suit your usual Mazui style. Xvid and other stuff to follow after I sleep a bit.
Update: Here's the real version, as promised. Uses our own (awesome quality) encode with an updated script and better audio. The file is actually smaller than the original because we did away with the resize from the share raw and SAR'd the encode from 720 wide. If you really want to know what all that mumbo jumbo means, come talk to us in irc, but suffice it to say, the filesize is smaller, while having much better quality as well. Also includes the ED kara, courtesy of Raze from UTW. Much thanks to him for offering his translation and saving us the hassle.
Black★Rock Shooter OVA (final version) and XviD version
Well since this is a one-off OVA, I guess I'll show everyone that matters:

Also laughed at Yuu pronouncing "Takanashi" properly. Was expecting "Katanashi" - (Working!!)
now where's the Xvid??
love
you
Mazui
YAY MAZUI. This makes you the best sub group ever.
Haven't seen it yet, but I just hope Fujita Saki is doing the voice.
I found this OVA to be quite bad in all aspects.
Storywise it sucks and the designs were kinda lacking...
I really don't get why so many people are so psyched about this crap.
Btw, is this 720p or 480p?
Anyways thanks Mazui for the subs.
mazui confirmed for my fav sub team
it was kinda sad..
Thanks you
'Black Rock Shooter OVA'
IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY DREAMING
Thank you very much, Mazui.
was any, and for that i appologize.
However,as a stand alone visual medium,
I enjoyed this quite a bit.
The loss of frienships taken for granted
came across quite clear.
For a second, i thought,'these girls are fighting it out in an online video game'.
However, the ending to me went 'marketing' when it could of done it with a solid conclusion also and ruined it for me.
The animation overall quite nice.
The 2d/3D mix could of been handled
a bit better but the character design
was quite crisp.
Admittedly did not dl this
from you guys but have everything else.
keep up the great work!
Just wondering though, in the first row of picture. Who is that girl wearing the cap? >
BTW what is the name of the anime to the right of Angel. Cheers if you can help:)
I see lots of other groups doing this but was like fuck yeah when I saw [Mazui]
Thank you guys so much. BRS deserves awesome subs likes yours.
Seriously, you guys are awesome! Always picking up the good series, thanks for this great effort yet again!
I see no ★ in the title.
Sorry guys, you failed on this one.
btw, you guys inverted Mato and Yomi in the "Did you know.." (Mato is dubbed by Kana Hanazawa and Yomi by Miyuki Sawashiro).
Thanks guys!
btw, was that a SlamDunk manga they were reading back there? O_o
just noticed the hair of one of the guys on the cover was red...
overall gets a 4/10 at best... hopefully another OVA comes out that does more with the BRS aspect...
Thanks for the release. :)
One of the Best Fan subbing groups in Traslations and encoding. Thanks ^^
Anyway, you're one of the few fansub-groups that I respect. Keep it up.
and Celty for Yomi.
I'd be amazed to see a patch for a movie. That's just not how it works.
The patch would be around 500MB, so pretty useless, don't you think?
too bad no patch available...
PS. God sage to my seeding ratio - -"
An original video animation made by Ordet is set to be streamed for free as part of a "promotional campaign" running from June 25 to August 31, 2010
lol, in other words...its only like a 50 minute commercial...who knows? XD
AND!
Wonder why you all say its a lousy anime.
I been waiting for this anime for almost one and a half year and i already found out what the story about from watching it.
Great release, great quality, strange OVA ^^
i've been waiting for a long time for this anime.
THANKS Mazui! keep up the good work!
Anyways, it seems like a lot of people here think that the OVA has nothing to do with Black Rock Shooter somehow? :/ It has everything to do with her, lol. It follows her story, or what her story is supposed to be (she's really only a collection of pictures, you know. She isn't really supposed to even have a story but Huke gave her one due to her popularity). So yeah.
I think people would enjoy the episode more if they were more knowledgable about BRS. God, I fucking loved it. xD Every single second of it.
and maybe anyone can help with this;
the music that starts at 37 min 35 seconds
can anyone tell me the name of it??? its full of awesomeness (even more then mazui !!! :O must mean something!!)
I think all the fight scenes (except maybe the first one) throughout were all events that happened after they joined at the end, especially with the way she was constantly reaching out her hand to Black Yomi. That's how it appeared to me, anyway.
Thanks, Mazui! :)
As for BRS it would be nice if there will be a second OVA or better yet an anime ^^
Judging from the ending and how the story went there's still much more to cover. Still this OVA is full of win :3
Bizounours says thanks.
MAZUI OWNED!!
anyway thanks for the great sub
Always glad to hear Iwasawa's glorious enabling voice though.
Though even the short scene after I feel there could be so much more from it to come.
I don't usually bother with OVA's but I'm glad I did with this one.
hope there a more episode of them
the story was pretty much just a high school drama with fighting in the background which was almost completely unrelated. Some would say the fighting was a way of showing their internal conflict as friends but then that begs the question, why were they fighting at the beginning?
in terms of the visual work itself, a lot of the time the animation was just plain lazy. same goes for the environment where the fighting takes place.
It was a good concept but the director and production staff did not do a very good job. I can forgive the lack of connection between elements in the story but that's only assuming this was a pilot project to show off the designs before an actual film/series is made.
As I said before you need to realise that the scene's are not in chronological order. The fighting IS NOT happening at the same time, it in fact happens after all of the high school stuff, after Mato becomes Black Rock Shooter. The fighting IS NOT a metaphor, Mato really did turn into BRS and fight with whatever possessed Yomi and brought her back with her.
As for the fight at the beginning it's called a flash forward, it's a common technique used to show you what the series will become if it's possible that you can't tell from the start. We haven't seen that person she was fighting yet, however if there are more OVAs we will eventually.
Also I don't see what you thought was so lazy about the art and animation. The art was stylistic and the animation was fluid, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Just so you know I didn't have any prior knowledge about BRS before watching the OVA, all I knew was that it was based on a character that looked like Miku that got a song sung by her. I had to watch it twice to fully understand it but I worked out that it wasn't in order about 3/4 of the way through. I guess the difference is that rather than simply thinking "This makes no sense", I thought "How can I make this make sense?" and then I was able to piece it together.
Good thing I've watched and read so many stories that I caught on quickly enough that it was not chronological, though I did think it was something like Hack Sign for a while.
A definite like on my part. I guess most people complain because of the slow pace and the high focus on everyday common things. It's that focus that won me.
Fast pace action anime that don't detail the characters' personalities are PLENTIFUL. This was a really nice change.
And for once something that doesn't make me ask "whhaaaa?" every 2 minutes this summer xD
Here's someone hoping for a sequel or a serie ^^
in the second row Canaan from Canaan and below her Popura from Working!.
