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?
