Remember when I mentioned that the new 1-minute trailer would be airing during the Tokyo Anime Fair 2010? Someone went ahead and leaked it.

After watching this, I have another question to add to that speculation list:

• Who is that tailed character (at 0:14)?

huke hasn’t released any illustrations of her (assuming all characters are female) on his blog or pixiv account (as far as I recall). It may have been drawn in one of his artbooks, but since I missed buying all of them I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

Regardless, I’m beginning to worry that 50 minutes might not be enough to tell the entire story (effectively). However, I expect that we’ll be surprised one way or another. And seeing Black★Gold Saw animated is <3. Too bad B★RS can’t seem to take her on. o_o

I’d comment more, but I have a presentation later today, and you know how those go. >_<

(Thanks, pKjd!)

UPDATE: The girl is only known as “STR”, and was first sighted in huke’s “Black Rock Shooter Visual Works 2 – Black Side” artbook. (Via MyAnimeList.net)

I knew I should have kept track of and bought the artbook. =(
