Check out 90 seconds of Yamakan's Black Rock Shooter anime
by Josh Tolentino, 10/03/2009

The more I see of the Vocaloid craze, the more interested I get in this auto-tune program madness, and the latest promo video for the upcoming Yamakan-produced Black Rock Shooter anime is looking pretty hot.

Created by artist HUKE, Black Rock Shooter is a fan-made character based on Hatsune Miku, one that has a flaming eye and wields a big-ass "Rock Cannon" rocket launcher on her left arm. The fan response to her introduction was apparently as feverish as might have been expected of an official Vocaloid character, so it's not surprising that someone would green-light a commercial production.

The anime will be produced by Ordet, the studio founded by Yamakan following his departure. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. I wonder if she'll be added into future Vocaloid productions.
