Black Rock Shooter anime with Yamakan
The official site for the Black Rock Shooter anime has opened and it actually looks pretty cool! The anime is slated for April and will be supervised by Yamamoto Yutaka, directed by ex-Kyoto Animation staff Yoshioka Shinobu and animated by Ordet.
The character designs will be by ex-Kyoto Animation animator Matsuo Yuusuke who had worked on many episodes of Kanon, Lucky Star (100 cuts on ep 20), and Kannagi.
The music will be composed by Ryo and the staff are working with huke to expand the brs world. Black Rock Shooter pilot edition will be released on the 30th of September and will apparently contain Pilot animation that goes along with the Black Rock Shooter song. There will also be a booklet with the image board used for the pilot animation and a CD produced by Ryo which is supposed to be a “live performance + Hatsune Miku voice-beta” version.
It says the anime will start in April but doesn’t say if it’s a TV anime or something else. Also it seems to be a common misconception but the character in Black Rock Shooter is not Hatsune Miku.
Edit: A preview of the pilot animation was on the animelo 2009 live stream and a recorded version can be viewed here (youtube)
Thanks to the commenter that pointed this out!
