Announced back in May that it would be going into production for a fall broadcast, the first promotional trailer for Blazblue: Alter Memory has surfaced. The series is being animated at teamKG and Hoods Entertainment and we’ve had a look at the production staff and cast for awhile. With a series of games starting back in 2008 and extending into 2013 as well as a couple of novels and some manga, it’s no surprise that BlazBlue has gotten an anime adaptation. No firm date has been set yet but the video does give us some time with the opening song by Faylan and the information that Aira Yuki will be handling the end theme for it.

Plot Concept: The story is set in December of 2199, when the streets are full of anticipation for the end of the year and the start of the new one. Amid the celebrations, word spreads that Ragna the Bloodedge, an SS-class rebel with the highest ever bounty on his head, has appeared in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. The apparent aim of Ragna or the “Grim Reaper” is the destruction of the system controlling the world. To collect the bounty, a motley array of unrivaled fighters converge on Kagutsuchi.
