What anime is this picture from?

Black★Rock Shooter (ie ブラック★ロックシューター) is an original character created by Japanese artist Huke.

ブラックロックシューター is the transliteration of English Black Rock Shooter. In Chinese, it can be called Black Rock Shooter, or Black Rock or BRS for short.

Huke was originally published on Pixiv and its blog on December 26, 2007. The character is set as a 15-year-old black-haired girl equipped with a cannon that fires 20 rocks per second. It has twin ponytails of different lengths on the left and right, and in the video footage derived from it, it is also seen holding a sword or knife. It is said that the original design of this character did not include swords and other weapons until it was later drawn.

NICONICO animation became popular

The reason why this work became eye-catching was that supercell’s ryo wrote a song in the shape of the character

Black Rock Shooter Fan art (20 pictures) On June 13, 2008, ryo published the video "Hatsune Mikuがオリジナルを歌ってくれたよ「ブラック★ロックシューター"" on NICONICO animation (written by Original song "BLACK★" sung by Hatsune Miku ROCK SHOOTER"). The video features Black★Rock Shooter. In the video, the music was produced by ryo using virtual singer Hatsune Miku, while the PV was produced by huke. The work has since become very popular, and it also marked the beginning of Black★RockShooter being truly known to most people. By the end of 2008, BRS had been played more than 1 million times in NICONICO animation.

Because the music is related to Hatsune Miku, and the heroine Black★RockShooter in the video looks exactly like Hatsune Miku, Black★RockShooter was once mistaken for a secondary creation of Hatsune Miku. Since then, CRYPTONFUTURE MEDIA (the manufacturer and publisher of Hatsune Miku) came forward to clarify this misunderstanding.

GSC obtained the development rights

With the popularity of BRS, it has been favored by Good Smile Company, a major figure manufacturer. GSC obtained the development rights to materialize BRS. Not only did it plan to turn it into a figure, it also launched a free OVA and animated it, hoping to use the influence of animation to drive sales of the figure.

On August 20, 2009, "BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER Project" was launched! 『BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER -PILOT

Black Rock Shooter Photo Gallery (12 photos) Edition-』Blu-ray and DVD include trial video, and "live performance of Hatsune Miku voice-β" produced by ryo The new recording source CD, as well as the trial video card, will be released in Blu-ray and DVD formats on September 30, 2009, which marks that BRS has officially embarked on the road to animation! .

Annual Development History April 2006

Fan artist Huke published a picture of BRS on his blog for the first time

December 26, 2007

BRS first came into the public eye because the Miku style was very popular at that time, so BRS was published on PIXIV, a large Japanese photo station, like many Miku fan pictures

February 2008

Fan composer Ryo After seeing the black rock drawn by Huke by chance, I was so shocked that I asked him to work with me to produce a PV for the fan music of VOCALOID2. At this time, BLACK ROCK SHOOTER was born

July 2008

BLACK After the ROCK SHOOTERPV was uploaded to the Internet, it caused a great response. However, because the image of Kuroiwa is quite similar to Miku, and the singer is also Miku, many people mistakenly thought that Kuroiwa was the second-generation product of Miku. However, the VOCALOID2 production company later came forward to clarify that Kuroiwa was Huke. Original work

In 2009

huke began to greatly expand and enrich the world view of BLACK ROCK SHOOTER and published an eight-page full-color ultra-short comic in the spring issue of GELATIN. It tells the story of a different world dominated by dark forces. Although the story of the queen and three demon girls in the kingdom has little to do with Black Rock, it can be seen that Huke is planning to make a big splash with BRS

So in the summer issue of COMIKE76 that year, Huke's doujinshi PICSIX officially appeared The painting of the confrontation between Kuroiwa and DEATH MASTER

Afterwards, BLACK ROCK SHOOTER officially announced its decision to be animated

Currently the animated version has played the OVA for about 50 minutes

The PV will be Episode 8 was broadcast in Japan in January 2012. Among them, some changes were also made to some characters, such as: DEAD MASTER (blackened bird tour) added a pair of glasses to her, but the rest remained unchanged. BRS, on the other hand, added a white belt and changed the black windbreaker into a cloak (I have only seen one picture of my family that looks like this, please forgive me for any mistakes)
