The amazing work of Huke

Huke is an Japanese illustrator who is best known for the concept of Black★Rock Shooter. He also works with the doujin group Supercell. Inspired by this mans artwork, the lead member of Supercell, Ryo, created a song and a music video.

I was not too fond of the ova based on BRS, but I certainly love the characters and art beside it. Ever since I watched the animation, I have been following Huke's spectacular artwork and tributers around the web.

You should certainly give Huke a visit on Deviantart or at his homepage.

Black★Rock Shooter: 2012 anime

According to the B★RS homepage there will be a new anime based on the Black Rock Shooter subject. I don't know anything about the plot yet, as I can't read Japanese.

To me, the OVA animation of Black Rock Shooter was quite disappointing: The artwork was not as amazing as expected, and the flow of the story was way too slow and it also seemed quite uncompleted. The soundtrack was indeed great, but could be a little more varied of style.

Still, I will wait in exitement for the new anime. The OVA of 2010 acted much more like a movie of art than a regular commercial thing and I would therefor love to see how things will turn out this time.
