If it's just meant as a Black Rock Shooter ad, then why is Mato and the real world on screen for 80%+ of the time, and BRS and the other world like 10-20%? You'd think that if that was all it was, it'd be mostly about, well, Black Rock Shooter fighting the badguys. It's not.
No, as I said, it feels much more like the first episode of a series. And if it is that, and they continue it at some point, it'll be a decent episode. The problem is if this is all there is, because while it's an okay (not great, but okay, more BRS would have made it better) first episode, it's pretty poor as a stand alone film. It all depends on whether it continues or not.
As for the plot, the real world side is reasonably well explained. The characters don't have a lot of depth, but it's enough for what it is. Nothing about the other world or the characters in it is explained, but if it's a series I'm sure they would eventually.
