These young girls' hearts are pure, and then violent!
Mato Kuroi just got into junior high school, and on the first day, someone catches her eye; her classmate Yomi Takanashi. The two meet. The innocent and naive Mato. The mature Yomi. Seemingly opposites, but the time they spend together only strengthens a growing friendship. But as they go into their second year at the school, they get placed in separate classes, and they begin to grow apart.
But somewhere simultaneously... In another world, a young girl, blue fire residing in her eyes, Black Rock Shooter faces another young girl; this one holding a jet-black scythe, Dead Master, and a battle to the death begins to unfold.

Where it came from
The Black Rock Shooter OVA originated from a collaborative multimedia project launched in 2008 by the illustrator Huke. Originally conceived as a single character design posted to the online community Pixiv, the character gained significant momentum when the Japanese band Supercell, led by composer Ryo, produced a music video featuring the character and an eponymous song. This viral success prompted the formation of a formal production team, ultimately leading to the release of this 50-minute original video animation in 2010.
Produced by the studio Ordet under the direction of Shinobu Yoshioka, the animation was designed to translate Huke’s distinct aesthetic—characterized by high-contrast, moody landscapes and stylized, weapon-wielding girls—into a motion format. The narrative explores the parallel lives of two middle school students, blending grounded school-life drama with surreal, symbolic combat in an alternate dimension. Upon release, the OVA was well-received for its ambitious visual style and its role in establishing Black Rock Shooter as a significant franchise that eventually spanned subsequent television series, video games, and extensive merchandise lines.
