Update on the Black Rock Shooter Anime

The official website for Hatsune Miku’s popular song “Black☆Rock Shooter” (the song even has its own site!) has announced that anime studio Ordet is not only producing the previously announced “Pilot Edition” anime PV, but actually a full length anime. Black☆Rock Shooter concept creator huke and song composer ryo will collaborate with Ordet on the development of the anime. Yutaka Yamamoto (Kannagi, Lucky Star) will supervise the anime production with Shinobu Yoshioka (Lucky Star episode director) directing.

The Black☆Rock Shooter concept is a post-apocalyptic bishoujo action story, as seen in its original 3D CG anime music video. Virtual idol Hatsune Miku sings the song “Black☆Rock Shooter” but isn’t a character in the song’s music video or narrative concept. The “Pilot Edition” music video will hit DVD and Blu-ray on September 30. The full length anime will premiere next spring.
