One of the shows that Crunchyroll picked up this season is Aoi Sekai No Chushin De, one that had little fanfare as even most streaming fans didn’t seem to realize it got added. With the first episode debuting on the 20th of October, we’ve had a few questions come in over this weekend asking what the deal was since Crunchyroll hasn’t added the second episode and even some of the darker sides of the internet haven’t had it either. So what’s going on?
As it turns out, the show (which Wikipedia says is 24 episodes long), is on quite the unusual schedule. The second episode is due out on New Years and the third episode for the spring of 2013, which is when it’s believed to really kick into gear, making it more formally a spring 2013 series. The reasons for this don’t seem to be given (at least with my limited translating experience on hand and the site being images rather than text), but it at least clears it up as to why we haven’t had more of this “videogame war” series.
Plot Concept: The Ninterudo Empire and the Segua Kingdom have been locked in a war for supremacy over the land of Consume for many years. The powerful Ninterudo Empire under the leadership of Marcus, with many excellent killers possessing various special abilities, has gained the upper hand in the struggle, occupying the majority of Consume as well as the surrounding nations. The Segua Kingdom has been left with no plausible option but to fight defensively… until the arrival of Gear drastically turns the tides.
