| According to the tweets of media journalist Matsumoto Atsushi, a holding company "Ultra Super Pictures" has been established by anime studios. Anime director Yamamoto Yutaka will be one of the directors of the holdings. Members of Ultra Super Pictures Ordet: Yamamoto Yutaka's studio SANZIGEN: 3DCGI studio of Tiger and Bunny, Mawaru Penguindrum, and Mobile Suit Gundam 00 TRIGGER: Imaishi Hiroyuki's new studio, see this topic Nitroplus Pixiv: Japanese illustration-oriented SNS Good Smile Company The objective of the holdings is to cope with the impoverishment of anime production studios due to the shrinkage of the domestic market. The members of the holdings will cooperate in anime production, management of intellectual properties and licenses, and training of young animators. They are planning to invite investors from Hollywood in order to build a scheme for the worldwide business. Ultra Super Pictures have already been working on Black★Rock Shooter TV series to be aired on Noitamina block in January. The series was announced to be eight episodes long.

| Yes !! eight episodes of Black Rock Shooter thank god !! this just made my day even better than it all ready is :O |

I see bright things in Yamakan's future. They involve selling McRibs. |
| Ok™ |
| BRS only 8 eps disappointing. What a shame. |
 |
Only eight? I was hoping for 13 episodes at least.. ;3; |
| So people think 8 episodes is a bad thing? I am curious to know how does one come to such a conclusion. I myself prefer a good 8 episodes long than a 11-ish episode of boring filler. And the Dark Knight is back for real, can't wait to see how will he rise. |

Also with only 8 eps BRS TV maybe is based off the game and not entirely original. |

| BRS only 8 eps?? That's unusual for noitaminA. Anyway, let's just wait and see. |
| Well that sounds fucking mega. But seriously, Yamakan, Nitroplus and Pixiv? I have to say I'm intrigued by this combination. |
| Hmm.. I was expecting more eps... but oh well more BRS!!! can't get more better than that lets just hope they bring back the same VAs as the ones in the OVA Kana-chan FTW XD |

| The art seems a bit off in the trailer... |
| isn't Batman The Dark Knight Rises going to be release in theaters next year? XD |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Am I missing ssomething? What does GSC have to do with anime itself? |
| Meh, only 8 episodes of BRS. Kinda disappointing. |
| BRS was shit so I don't really care about that, more intrigued by the company's name. |
 |
| "Ultra Super Pictures" What a funky name, it made me lol. And since BRS is now eight episodes long, will that mean the episodes will be longer than normal episodes or that it's just a super short series? |
| "Ultra Super Pictures" ...wat Now I'm intrigued... please enlight us BatmanYamakan! |
jmal said: IamOyashiro-sama said: Am I missing ssomething? What does GSC have to do with anime itself? The main money-maker so far for BRS is figures. GSC handles the figures. Therefore they will want to be on the production committee. Production committees are more than just animation studios. You often have book publishers, TV broadcasters, music labels, animation studios, video distributors, other investors/rights holders/etc. That a figure maker would get in on it would not be strange, GSC is on some other production committees too. Animation production studios are more often than not going to be one of the most minor parts of the committee, in terms of money. Thanks, I didn't realize. If this means the BRS figures are getting re-released then all is well. |
