Crunchyroll has another recent anime series being added to its catalog from Sentai Filmworks, this time with Broken Blade. The series was one that got a bilingual release previous on DVD and Blu-ray and now all the episodes will be available to premium members starting today at 8pm ET while free uses will get one episode a week. The series was definitely one of my favorites of this year and really made me a big fan of what Production I.G. and Xebec can do together. The show has a limited release to users in Canada and the US only.

Plot Concept: In Cruzon, children are born with the ability to control quartz. This power allows them to levitate simple objects-or control enormous and complex mobile battle suits called Golems. But when an ancient Golem is discovered during the height of a brutal war, a young king and his beautiful queen turn to Rygart Arrow. Though an “un-sorcerer”, Rygart can miraculously pilot this ancient and powerful weapon. But in war, school friends can turn into bitter enemies and allies have suspicious motives. Strap yourself in, power up, and prepare for the heavy metal mecha action of Broken Blade!
