There was a tonne of exciting news this weekend, Mahoromatic Tadaima Okaeri, Hidamari Sketch x ☆☆☆ and Black☆rock Shooter.
Having watched previous seasons of Mahoro and Hidamari, I knew what they were going to be about. Black☆rock Shooter? Not so much. Actually, I don’t particularly enjoy Vocaloid stuff so I never paid much attention to the BRS song. After hearing about its anime announcement I found the character design intriguing and the song was actually starting to grow on me.
So I decided to take a look at what Blackrock Shooter actually was.
BRS was originally an illustration by Huke. Vocaloid user Supercell/ryo then followed up with a vocaloid song. It was such a hit that GoodSmile Company even made a PVC figure of.. I DON’T EVEN KNOW HER NAME. Does she even have a name yet? Anyways, the anime looks visually stunning, check out the sreencaps courtesy of Danny Choo.
Is anyone worried that this anime is just based on a drawing/video and nothing more? or are you all just as excited as I am?

“Does she even have a name yet? ”
weird question. Her name IS Black Rock Shooter
I’m not as much of a Vocaloid fan as I probably will be with some more exposure, but I think Yamakan’s involvement proves that it should be more than just shallow fan-pandering. We’ll see.
@Yhamm : ahh thanks… I guess it makes sense seeing as to how the song is based on the drawing.
@ETERNAL : same here…. same here…
I’m really excited, but I’m also worried that it’ll be based on incoherent fanon.
I seriously want to see what Yutaka Yamamoto is going to do with Black Rock Shooter. I mean an anime about a song based on a drawing? Not too much material to work with, but since it’s Yamakan, that makes me pretty excited.
