Black Rock Shooter Anime Due, by Yamakan’s Ordet

black-rock-shooter.jpg

Huke’s popular character Black Rock Shooter, a reimagined Hatsune Miku with guns, has been announced as receiving a music video anime by Haruhi director Yamakan’s Ordet production studio; however, it now transpires that this is actually a pilot for a full anime adaptation.

The animated music video was announced some days prior, and attracted considerable attention with the involvement of Ordet and Yamakan. However, it is now apparent that this is the “Pilot Edition” of the main anime, news sure to excite fans.

The PV itself will be available for pre-order shortly.

    Nobody will voice BRS, it is music only without a synchro according to the goodsmile site. It will have a instrumental version, a instrumental remix version and a Hatsune Miku version.

    アニメ化プロジェクト本格スタートに先駆けて、イメージ拡張のために制作したパイロット映像

    It's a pilot for an upcoming Anime Project, so in the end they would still need a seiyuu for BRS when the main part of the anime starts...

    Unless of course they plan to play Black Rock Shooter on loop through out the entire series.........

    It is not really a anime project now, the name of the series is “BRS Projekt” just like the figure and everything else releated to BRS herself. There sure won’t be a "main" anime in a while since it is announced as only a single OVA besides that huke is busy with the manga releated to all BRS characters named ★Dust. People should learn reading sites of the creator before they believe what is written on a news site. Also it wouldn't be avaiable for preorder already if it wouldn't be finished already.

    I think it will be the same story as in the 3D pv made together with huke.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyx3fkr_Njo
    I repost the translation of the storyline I posted a while ago there here too…

    “A little old, two sisters just had spent life on the streets of the idyllic countryside.
    They flee, while supporting each other, passed the parent happily. One day, the younger sister did run up to the older sister, the stomach of the younger sister was penetrated with the enormous sword of the older sister.
    The younger sister don’t recognized the reason, deteriorates and falls.
    Black wings and horns grew from the older sister in front of wierd skulls, the older sister disappeared infront of the younger sister.
    The sister survived by a miracle regaining consciousness,
    the town wakes up to her and her people had been thoroughly destroyed by the massacre.
    The older sister and her, were the persons who said once Dead Master needs to be destroyed,
    the Bone Legion soldiers will be notified, the emergence and transformation of her at the same time.
    Dead Master leading the invincible bone soldier corps, in order to ruin all mankind, had started conduct. The bone soldier intelligence is low, their attacks are just like those from dogs but struggle not only against simple attacks. They reject any attack on their side.
    They also avoided the specter of weapons and bullets to exist as a substantive.
    The army can be defeat, the only bone that is decorated with weapons attacks by a special processing…
    The people just had few weapons, but didn’t handle.
    BRS is an ancient weapon that can be made against bone soldiers which would help the younger sister. Rock Shooter and Black Sword were received and the older sister stops, the variable motorcycle, becomes the moonlight circle and also appears traveling as a Black Rock Shooter..
    Then a few months later, she awakened from a nightmare and is lying in ruins standing in the middle of the journey. ”
    However, the story is way to long…
    Mainly BRS is the codename of the members of a organisation that fights against the evil spirits that have taken controll over some people like the older sister of “BRS” which turned to Dead Master because of them. The only way to rescue her sister was killing her. After a fusion of all those skull soldiers appeared which was the last enemy to kill to get peace at the world again…

    I think instead associating it with Haruhi or K-ON (which Yamakan has zero involvement in K-ON), would be better if you use Kannagi as reference.

    BRS has a huge cast already thanks to huke's random drawings of characters for this copyright:

    - Black ★ Rock Shooter
    - Insane Black ★ Rock Shooter
    - Black ★ Devil Girl
    - Black ★ Gold Saw
    - Black ★ Matagi
    - Dead Master

    This will be interesting.

    Eugh, more than 50% chance that this will only be average (if not shitty) but the idiot fanbases won't care and still call it the best thing ever.

    Oh well, hard not to see that for every anime that comes out nowadays anyway, but I was hoping BRS wouldn't become the same.

    So, what's your justification for the 'idiot' part? Ever heard of predictions/guesses? Is it too hard to notice how everything turns out the same when huge profits are concerned?

    I was simply stating what I considered the most-probable scenario; did I say it already happened for BRS? The only thing I mentioned that has already happened was the fact animes do get huge fanbases for shitty reasons, and same for any anime-related works such as this (just give me a call if you need anime examples, but to be honest, that would mean you're probably in one of those fanbases and are too ignorant to notice your own level of stupidy. I'll simply hope that's not the case, for your own sake).

    Thank you for your time.

    Source to prove that? I'm not doubting it, but I'd like to see the justification of such 'facts' with my own eyes before truly believing it.
    Huke actually designed the Miku look-alike before Vocaloid 2's Hatsune Miku's first design was published?
    I think I'm not the only one who's actually surprised by this, that's all.

    Just look at his blog, it was one of his very first designs even thought she don’t had her final outfit at that point. There are tons of long twintailed girls that were done before Miku and then called a clone just because everybody thinks "long twintails=Miku clone".

    This is the first time I've heard of this character so I don't know the backstory. Anyway, doesn't any of this constitute a copyright issue? I'm really not sure about any of this, that's why I ask. What's the story?

    Comment by Anonymous
    16:00 23/08/2009 # ! Neutral (0)

    I've found a BRS-look alike on his website from 2006, indeed, but this isn't the same BRS as now, so this isn't the 'miku-clone' people talk about.

    They have identical clothes, but the face and haircut differ a lot; there are no similarities with Miku.
    Huke might have published his first Miku look-alike BRS afterwards, when ryo/supercell asked him to affliate with him for the song, and huke simply re-designed his BRS to look more like Miku.

    If that was the case, the BRS from then IS a Miku look-a-like, since that wasn't how she looked prior to that.
    The oldest BRS Miku I've found on his blog was in end 2007, way after Vocaloid 2's release and around the time the song itself came out.

    "it was one of his very first designs even thought she don’t had her final outfit at that point", about that, I didn't find out which pic you were talking about. I've checked his doujin 'HUKEPIC' 01-05 works and his other stuff, but no luck there.

    This just seems like BRS looked the way she look before (different face & haircut), and was simply redesigned as a Miku look-alike (familiar expression, long twintails). I'm not one of those who considered that long twintails = Miku clone, because Miku was far from the first in looking like that, but if it's something released afterwards and even has the same face, I think calling them such would be justified.

    If you can show that BRS picture that looked like Miku before Miku's first design was even done, then by all means do so, but I had no success in finding it myself.

    Vocaloids in normal speaking tones require tons of modification. Better hire Miku's original voice actress, but then again since BRS is not directly related to Miku they could find another voice for her.
