BlazBlue Anime - Now in the Works!

If you're a BlazBlue fan, I'm sure you've already heard, but if you haven't..... BlazBlue is FINALLY getting its own anime! Yep, that's right! It is finally happening!

For anyone who does not know, BlazBlue is a fighting game by Arc System Works which features fast and easy to pick up gameplay, and has an extremely deep (and long) story mode to go along with it. The game has become well known for its cast of characters, crazy storyline, as well as its comedy which can be found throughout the game. Since the original release, BlazBlue has broken out into a few manga side stories, and it has had a few novels as well, where this anime was actually announced.

On the slip that came with their latest release, Arc System Works announced that their BlazBlue Calamity Trigger anime has been green-lit. While no other information was provided (such as an expected release), I'm sure we will be hearing more from them in the future. With Chrono Phantasma (BB3) coming out within the next year or so, I'm sure we can expect to hear quite a lot of BlazBlue news as the months go by.

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma

Although this has already been posted on the forums, it is something that I MUST post here. As I'm sure some of you know from past posts, I am a HUGE Blazblue fan! I love the crazy long anime/visual novel story (which was pretty shocking in the first game since fighting games hardly EVER have a story, yet alone a FULL story!), I love the characters, I love the comedy, I love the drama, I love how the games are packed FULL of game modes, and I love the fact that it is a solid fighter! Now that being said.... BLAZBLUE 3 IS FINALLY HERE!
 
Let me introduce you to BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma!



Currently known features:
- Story picks up where CS/CS2/CSX left off (with each character having a story mode, just like always)
- Includes ALL past characters
- Three new characters have been added (Azrael, Amane and Barret)
- Noel has a brand new look which seems to be a mix between her "Noel" and "Mu" look
- Noel MAY have a new weapon (although it appears to work the same)
- ALL characters are being redrawn for this game
- New BGM
- Rebalanced characters with some new move sets (get ready to learn how to use your favorite characters all over again!)
- Tsubaki has her dark clothing as seen in the ending of CS
- Past game modes WILL be returning (although there is no word on which modes this will include)
- Online VS mode (wouldn't be BlazBlue without it!)

In short, this is easily going to be the best BlazBlue yet!
