Black Rock Shooter (J)RPG Announced

Ask BioWare about this, and odds are they'll throw shit at it before it's even released (as they so narcissistically enjoy treating Japanese "RPGs"). Us regular lolicons, however, have the luxury of not giving a flying... pantsu, about how genuinely "role-playing" this newly announced Black Rock Shooter game will be. Not as long as Miku's dark, wicked version will ooze hotness through the game's every pixel. Well, hopefully.



A cryptical teaser trailer is all there is to see on the BRS game's official website, for the time being, after its public opening over the weekend. The taglines featured in the video read "In the year 2032 A.D., mankind was decimated. Before she wakes up... She becomes RPG". So I guess the story will be set in a post-apocalyptic near-future, or something.

ANN also notes that the website's domain is registered to Ryu's Office, the company headed by Ryuta Konuma (Valkyria Chronicles II, Persona 3, Persona 4). Which leaves me with the obvious reminder: that this steadily-expanding franchise is based on huke's original character illustrations depicting a bad-ass, flat-chested version of Hatsune Miku, which inspired ryo's Vocaloid song of the same title, and more recently a 50-minute Black Rock Shooter OVA that was finally released last month.
