“Black Rock Shooter” TV Series Synopsis: If you took the pain from the ones you loved and never gave them yours in return, would you consider that fair? Or would it be selfish? Mato Kuroi meets Yomi Takanashi on her first day of school, and wants nothing more than to be her friend. But Yomi’s life is not so simple as hers. For every blunt friendly overture Mato makes, she overlooks the more subtle emotions, and soon enough what starts with a shared love for a fairy tale turns into something much darker. All the while, Mato’s dreams show her a girl embroiled in constant battle with other girls who look suspiciously like her friends. But could they be more than just dreams?
