This means more Ohana-chan, Nako-chan or Minko-chan for fans!

Previously it was announced in October that a new visual work was confirmed, but no specifications whether or not the new work was to be animated. Looks like we have a confirmation now – and the next question is: Is the work an OVA? Or a movie?

Synopsis

In normal RPGs, a hero defeats the Satan king and the story ends. But what does the hero do after that? Ohtorizawa Akatsuki defeats the Satan king in the fantasy world of Alleyzard and returns to the real world. He is sheltered by the international organization BABEL, which protects and controls people transferred from the outer worlds. BABEL is astonished to know Akatsuki has really defeated Satan and brings Satan’s daughter Miu from Alleyzard. In the academy of BABEL, Akatsuki confronts other “returners”, who have psychic powers.

The  novel series was launched last year, and currently the 7th volume of the light novel will be out this 1 December 2011.

By the way, Chiaki, it seems like Minami-ke will be animated again.

I heard that, too. Congratulations! Haruka-neesama.

You, too. Chiaki. We’ll do our best again.

Yes, oneesama. Let’s do our best.

Why did you say that? I wanted to say that Minami-ke would be animated and give congratulations. I should have been the one to announce that.

I hope that this will be on television.

The story is set in the early 21st century as a sequel to another NisiOisin story, Bakemonogatari, and it centers around the “Fire Sisters” Tsukihi and Karen Araragi.

Trailer above is available on the Official Website too.

I first heard of the news while I was on the way home. Rushed home and managed to see Yui Horie (Hocchan) giving her final comments. Thank goodness I didn’t disconnect from the live stream when she was talking >_<.

Noitamina producer Kōji Yamamoto and Black Rock Shooter creator huke both confirmed the news on their respective Twitter accounts. Also, the official website has already launched a preview page whose meta tags list the figure maker Good Smile Company, the composer Ryo, the creator huke, the anime studio Ordet, and the musical group supercell.

The franchise already inspired an original video anime, figures, and games. The artist ringo launched the Black Rock-chan four-panel manga in the inaugural issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s 4-Koma Nano Ace magazine in March, and Sanami Suzuki (Net Ghost PiPoPa) launched another Black Rock Shooter ~Innocent Soul~ manga in Young Ace in June.

This is great news. Hopefully they do not end the anime like the OVA did ._. I love Strength to be honest.. But sadly only BRS and DM had much more screentime >_<. And with this piece of announcement, I can only guess there will definitely be an influx of more BRS merchandises and figurines flooding the market!

The Blu-ray versions of the two Rurouni Kenshin original video anime (OVA) and Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi no Chinkonka [Requiem] film will ship between August 24 and October 26. Compilation CD will ship on July 27. A new game for the PSP system, titled Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Saisen has already been out last month.

I remember catching the anime back on TV when I was young. I love the OP, still remember how it sounds like up till today. Really one of my fave anime series. New Kenshin anime? I’m all up for it. I know many fans might be against this but hey, Fullmetal Alchemist remake (Brotherhood) wasn’t that bad. It got better towards the end!
