There was an production announcement party held yesterday (24th of March) for the upcoming Black Rock Shooter OVA at the Akihabara UDX Theater.
To receive a ticket and attend the event, you’d have to apply at the official home page and be randomly selected by Good Smile Company. Lucky buggers.
Shinobu Yoshioka, director of the OVA production, made an appearance, along with Aki Takanori (CEO of Good Smile Company) and huke (THE artist). They held a panel, with Shinobu commenting that he really liked supercell’s music and thought the PV was amazing.
Anyway, after that they showed a minute-long exclusive promotional video made up of footage that were used in the making of the OVA. There is no leaked video at the moment though, so all I can show you are these images:
Love the quality here. It’s definitely a big leap over the lack of quality seen in the DVD we bought last year.
YES! These shots pretty much confirm my suspicions about Black Gold Saw being in the OVA! Claws + big jagged sword is. Also, let’s not forget about Dead Master!
The seiyuus (voice actresses) behind Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master were also (finally) revealed, along with their (human) character names in the OVA.
BlackRock Shooter, AKA Mato Kokui Kuroi will be voiced by Kana Hanazawa.
Meanwhile, Dead Master, AKA Yomi Takanashi will be voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.
