User blog:Herald of meridian/The Black Rock Shooter pilot LIED.

Uh, maybe it's an exaggeration.

But what's true is that there's no much change that happened between the pilot episode and the OVA itself. As fellow user of this Wiki and also member of the Vocaloid Wiki, Aster Selene points out what changes Black Rock Shooter has been through after the release of the pilot.

Dear god, I was watching the pilot for the first time in a while and dear GOD I found out the differences... ...I have a feeling that many scenes were re-drawn completely. Possibly they may have even changed the plot..

The comparison (Ignore the quality difference, that much is inevitable)

So, some things I think were changed as you can see from the picture above.

1. The eyes. Holy crap the eyes. Yomi's eyes were sort of teal-ish in the original; they turned into emerald green in the actual anime. Also, the eyes of BRS and Dead Master were originally kinda moe-blurred light-ish and now they're unsettling, narrowed, and with those circle patterns. (I definitely like the new ones better) 2. Several scenes suddenly vanished. 3. I have a feeling Mato and Yomi were originally to be high schoolers. Look at Mato's proportions in that one picture, also note that her personality seems a lot more bored-scorning (maybe a tsundere)? Also, Yomi seemed more cheerful. 4. Color blending went largely up in quality along with color distinction. 5. Several scenes redrawn. 6. BRS loses her katana; instead, her gun has the ability to turn into some huge knife-thingy. 7. BRS and Dead Master were originally paler (though they're still pretty pale) 8. Dead Master more seductive-evil.

9. Star on BRS's back.

10. Mysterious shot of some odd character who's not even there.

11. Checkerboard pattern in different places.

12. Hair/eyes more blurred and choppy.

13. Mato seeing the star/merging with BRS doesn't just look like she's coming home from school. The anachronic order probably was not in the original.

14. Dead Master has more of a resemblance to Yomi.

15. BRS has a more fierce, cold personality than the calmer, questionable personality she seems to have from her original face expressions

16. From the position Mato is in when seeing the sky-star, in the original, the phone charm has nothing to do with this, along with the place on the hill.

17. Mato's phone is different - and it completely lacks the phone charm.

From this, I'm starting to wonder what the original plot was or what some of the original shots contained.

Thanks Aster Selene for the list!
