New Black Rock Shooter Anime Project Started, Shares Stunning Visuals
Though the days of moe-emo anime are long past us, the iconic series “Black Rock Shooter” has risen from the ashes like Phoenix.
The Black Rock Shooter production committee unveiled the anime project titled “Black ★★ Rock Shooter DAWN FALL” today (September 16) with a new key visual illustrated by the franchise’s original creator Ryohei Fuke.
[Start of new project] This work has been commercialized and visualized since its birth in 2007. Everything has been renewed and started as a TV anime “Black ★★ Rock Shooter DAWN FALL”! The ban on the visuals drawn by the original huke has also been lifted! http://blackrockshooter-dawnfall.com #Black Rock Shooter #BRS #BRSDF

The visual features the protagonist, Rock, falling from the sky as she tries to catch her motorbike mid-air while holding on to her iconic cannon with her other hand. The backdrop of the visual features a bright moon and ruins of a depilated city.
On a closer inspection, we can see Rock’s eye glowing with blue light, a fixture that has been part of her iconic design since 2007. Even though she features in many manga, OVA, and TV anime series, her backstory is still an enigma to this date.
“Black ★★ Rock Shooter DAWN FALL” will be the first anime project for the character in nearly a decade. The franchise spawned from a single illustration by Ryohei Fuke, which then inspired a music video featuring the voice of Hatsune Miku.
