Hm... I've just finished watching the OVA, but I still have some questions which I hope could be cleared up by the more analytical among you guys. (^.^)
Spoilers Ahead
What is the world of Black Rock Shooter? Is it some kind of parallel dimension? Or is it some sort of personification of the inner feelings/struggles of the characters?
When Yomi disappears, does she get transported to the parallel world or did she actually go missing on her own accord? The characters of BRS and DM don't really seem to be an alter ego of Mato and Yomi, but BRS manages to expunge DM from Yomi at the end, meaning to say that DM as some sort of corruption/misguided emotion (jealosy,loneliness) of Yomi that had led her astray?
Well, I suppose the final part was to blur the lines between the alternate dimension and reality, but it wasn't really explained clearly enough.
Not that it really matters, but are the two characters (Black Gold Saw and the guy/girl with the hood) related to the real world at all?
At the end, was there perhaps some sort of foreshadowing or hint that Yuu will eventually falter just like Yomi did? With her hesitation/shadowed out face? But you can also argue that the reverse is also true as she steps forward when called.
Maybe I'm thinking into it a little too much. (^.^)
It's not explained too well, but I can answer a bit.
The girl in the hood is STR, also known as STRENGTH, and seems to be Yuu's (Basketball club manager) alternate version.
The end leave the OVA pretty open for a possible sequel, but who knows if that will happen, and when. How the worlds are connected isn't explained at all.
We'll just have to wait for more info, or think of all the possibilities for answers.
I didn't much understand the relation of the characters between two worlds , except their face. Guess there will be a second part to explain these mystery.
