Why all the promotion?

It should be a best seller regardless. Is there even any need for all of this? It could really backfire if the fans don't like the plot or how BRS herself is characterised.

Also, I guess this is just one episode, isn't it? That's what I pick up from this article.

Looks like one episode, yes, but it's still longer than what I was expecting. There is always a chance we will see something more if the OVA succeeds.

Free streaming and...
3. free distribution of the DVD

Woah. Are they banking on selling the Blueray for an obscene amount? That and the merchandise, of course.

She looked like Kirika from Noir that site.

I guess they're testing a new marketing strategy - it sounds interesting to me.

So Black Rock Shooter is only one OVA? I was hoping for a TV series...

Other than that, YAY!
I didn't know that it was going to be a 50 min. OVA , I was expecting a TV series, but oh well.......


They're working @kyoani huh?
At same production house, I think?

Hey, at-least it's actually officially animated. Sure; I wanted it to be at-least a 6 episode OVA but this is a big thing for a lot of people. Finally we can see some sweet BRS action!

Since both announced seiyuu played in Kannagi, I would say there is a chance we'll hear Tomatsu Haruka voicing the main character... Evil plan of Yamamoto Yutaka?


I'm not sure if I understand what you mean, but, Hanazawa Kana is voicing Black Rock Shooter/Mato Kokui.

You never know...it might turn out a 110 episode OVA. I'll settle for a 13 episode OVA. I want the artwork exactly like the one in that trailer/pilot.

Its not Kyoani, nor they work in the same Production house.
Yamamoto, Yutaka ( A Former Kyoani staff ) and, 4 more Kyoani Staff left and join with him which they founded Ordet Animation Studio.

Also, just ignore my first post, I guess. So Sorry, for that.

If the OVA will be successfull we might get a real Anime anytime.

Though I'm happy about the OVA. Was in denial with the whole Black Rock Shooter Anime anyways. Now they can't screw up that much.

I always thought it would be 1 episode OVA/movie.
Judging by the nice animation of the trailer and that it is based in a music, it couldn't be any longer than 1 episode.

Just one? I wanted more.

For some reason after I saw the trailer I became super excited for this even though I kind of hate that music video. It's very strange.

It'd be hilarious if the OVA totally ruins their characters, and shows that their reason for fighting was actually over some guy at school. LOL.

This show got delayed according to their website, since they still have a lot of work to do on animation.

SHAFTED.

They can take as long as they need. The eye-candy is key to this anime's success, so I don't want them rushing it, because I doubt there will much else about this anime that will be as good as the animation.

^ Haha, yeah I agree. I posted that at the time when I was annoyed by those who call Bakemonogatari's delay some kind of conspiracy of whatever. (even though 1 year delay is a bit too much.)

But, isn't it just one episode OVA with 50 minutes duration? I'm pretty sure it will left all of us into the despair of 'IWANTMOR'.

The overall release date (meaning, the streaming of the OVA) has been pushed back to an unknown date at this time. I'm only assuming this because according to the site, an "early premiere" will be taking place on July 7th (Tanabata) for a lucky 150 subscribers to the magazines below...and if that's the "early premiere", then it's likely no one is going to see anything from the OVA until after that has taken place (except possibly for the actual anime trailer, and not a cam-recorded like the TAF one)

The original site streaming date was going to be from June 25th - August 31st. On WIKI, it says that it will be released on July 24th (which is actually the date for the when the September issue of "Hobby Japan" is released). So there might not even be a streaming date >_>

Monthly Hobby Japan's September issue (w/DVD) ships out on July 24th;
Monthly Megami Magazine's September issue (w/DVD) ships out on July 30th;
Monthly Animedia's September issue (w/DVD) ships out on August 10th
