Introduction

Can they pull it off?

Story

Let's talk about "BBK/BRNK".
A witch, destiny of the blood, immature children and experienced adults, a terror-reigned country, and a treasure isle. What this series attempts to draw is something uncommon nowadays, a scent of straightforwardness, a blunt, ferocious story. Boys are currently trying to change the world, trying to overthrow the earth. However, can they do such a thing?
Will the powers they obtained guide them?
Heart, right arm, right leg, left arm, left leg. Bubuki that was inherited by five houses intertwine with humans to create supernatural powers. What they seek on the high ground - is it hope, or is it a disaster of destruction? That still remains unknown. More like in search of that answer, adventure and ambition, disturbance and ups/downs, and questions will all fire away. Will they be able to continue advancing straight? And what is it that lies ahead?
What does reckless courage create?
SANZIGEN, as their 10th anniversary title, is creating this title as a full CG completely new original animation. That alone is already something completely unheard of. Furthermore, Daizen Komatsuda is challenging this as his directorial debut. Character designs are by Yusuke Kozaki, and series composition and screenplay are by Jiro Ishii and Yukinori Kitajima. This might be a job that is different from any title they have led to success to date, accepting its recklessness and shaking it off. They said they are willing to take the burden. So, once more we should ask. Can they pull it off?
Is there still hope in the world?
Past the grudge from 24 years ago, boys and girls begin their revolution. However, each and every one of them, even for the adults, and all sorts of countries all over the world are handed down their own expectations. If everyone has a path they believe in, what kind of justice should humans choose? This story will continue to ask despite that. What is correct. Moreover, does correctness even exist?
And, will you be there?
Adults would say that this is reckless, that this is foolish. That they don't understand anything. However, if this world is mistaken, there is no reason not to do this. That is why the children decided to give it their best effort. The battle has already begun. Already everyone has been roped in by them. A pressing wish is already on the line. But, we should ask a third time. Will they be able to pull it off? Will "BBK/BRNK" be able to pull it off? And will you be able to see it through to the end?
