Hmm...another shounen to hit the anime scene. Being the shounen-junkie I am though, I'll probably be checking it out too.

I thought this series might be kind of cool back when I checked out the manga, but sadly it was not. As such I'm not excited about this in the least unless the people producing the anime work to make it better.

Hell yeah!

Hmm... surprising

For a second, I thought Robot was being animated, which would be awesome. I might check this manga out though...

just read half of the first chapter to see what the hell this even was, alls I have to say is meh so far. It's another mech anime and it even has magic apparently, might at least give the first ep a look when it releases.

Hell yeah! Lygatto/Shigwen UST will now be animated, woot! ♥

Never heard of it since I am not much of a manga reader, but it sounds good! :)

I had a feeling a couple of months ago that "Break Blade" will soon get an anime adaptation and now, it finally gets one. Awesome!!!

I didn't really liked the manga, but I hope they'll make a better anime. The story not that bad, but maybe not my type in manga but wish it would be in animated.

Hell yeah...mecha anime to the rescue!
I sick of lots of moe/ecchi anime nowdays...this is a great news for mecha fans ^_^
Also,if Production I.G was involved, count me in coz i like their work..
Plus, it's a 6 movies format (like Kara no Kyokai) so it will have superb animation quality!
Looking forward to this movie:)

New video... just shows a little bit of character design:

First I tought this would absolutely suck, until I read it again and watched the ^ clip above.

Seriously, like Break Blade but if the chars were designed by Fafner's/Gseed's CD, Hirai Hisashi, I don't know if could bear to watch it.

I actually quite like the manga. I'm not really a mecha person, but I'm such a sap for romance in any shonen and seinen. I'm looking forward to that.

I just hope scantalations for the manga come faster.

Break Blade 16 second trailer with actual animation footage:

seiyu cast

Lygatto Arrow: Souichiro Hoshi (KIRA YAMATO)
Shigwen: Chiwa Saito (louise)
Zess: Hiroshi Kamiya (tieria)
Hozul: Yuuichi Nakamura (graham bushido)

those 4 seiyu mention have mecha experience (aka gundam series) & yet have soch "kira yamato" hoshi as main guy really i guess that despite 3 of 00 seiyu in it the main guy have the voice of kira yamato aka main GS.

Aside from that..

Doesn't the mecha look a lot like the new Unicorn Gundam?

The only similarity I notice with Unicorrn Gundam & Main Character Mecha are both of them have horns (albeit the horn look like broken).

Ooo, Shounen. Ill be checking it out.
