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.

For a vocaloid fan such as myself this was something to get excited about.
Its animation is very well done. The fight scenes are depicted well not like some other anime where its hard to make out what's happening. The symbolism used in the anime to relate the "real" world with the "dream" world is effective and reminds me somewhat of Alice in Wonderland. Also the use of colour sets the mood.
It is a little confusing how the two worlds connect with each other but other the course of the series they slowly feed an explanation into the series using a wise and helpful counsellor.
There are also a lot of unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on your toes.
The use of a motif (the picture book) in the anime helps assist the story in inner character turmoil and also emotions, setting and so on.
The dialogue is effective where the voice actually fit the characters. The tones in each situation are also good. There is one word that gets a bit repetitive in the first two episodes just playing over and over as a taunt to both main characters from the "dream" and "real" worlds.

In the end for anyone interested in anime with plot twists, action, school life or just vocaloid then I recommend it to you. As long as you don't mind waiting for the explanation to everything to come eventually then its a pretty good anime.
