Looks like my previous post about this was gone...

Oh well...

Anyway, from reading MOON PHASE diary, a partial cast has been announced (Toru, Minori, Ayane, Kuwong and Genha), and so far they all match the PS2's new voice actors and actresses.

The last Megami had a section on this. Looks solid. Tho I really wish they'd make a non-H Duel Savior anime first. I liked that series and it's characters better.

Well, that would be a rearranged version they're doing for the OVA. If you mean just any version of the song, then yeah, it would be easy. It's a pity Amazon doesn't sell more eroge soundtracks under "Music" instead of "Software." Well, at least www.animejungle.com carries some eroge soundtracks and there's of course the option of Yahoo Japan auctions through a deputy service.

I for one thought that the story telling in Baldr Force was a lot better, and really used the multi-path idea to their advantage. In Duel Savior, the paths don't diverge until a lot later on. In Baldr Force, there always seemed to be some problem or other looming over the characters, whereas in Duel Savior, the story seemed a lot more happy-go-lucky. Duel Savior might be better for anime conversion, though, since you're dealing with a plot that's a bit more linear for a longer time than Baldr Force.

The ending song for the OVA is apparently named: undelete, to be sung by Mami Kawada. Kind of a cute title considering the title of the show and the stuff that happens in it.

I didn't expect there is another cast change.

[zalas]

So either they ran out of money or the PS2 voice actresses wouldn't agree to work for Trinet <_<; Well, I guess this is the 2nd time I'll have to get used to a new cast...

EDIT: Apparently they smartened up and contracted the animation production out to Satelight...

[zalas]

*bump*
Release date for the first volume has been delayed to late July:

[zalas]

Darn, shouldn't have bumped it so soon. My promo DVD just came in the mail today, and I can see why it's been delayed. There's almost NO animated footage in this. Most of the scenes in the promotion have been just plain CG, and not terribly good looking CG at that.

The only real animated shots you can see are Renn walking on a hill and then clasping her hands over a dandelion, followed later by Toru walking down the street and seeing another dandelion plant.

Let's hope the three extra months can make this show good...

[zalas]

According to some folks over at AnimeNorth, Baldr Force EXE Resolution was on the Geneon trailer disc. Hopefully they'll make an official announcement this coming AX.

Both Cdjapan and Amazon.jp listed the release date as September 8th. So I assume it's delayed again.

[zalas]

Yup, I had received an email a few days ago about that. Didn't want to quintuple post, though ^_^;

A promo that's released at Comiket70. But it failed in recording (that's why you hear sissling sound).

Did I actually see new characters?

The release date changed to Sept 27 according to the promo.

[RunningTARGET]

wow, its doing a bushilord, by being pushed back so often.

[mangatron]

They better not cancel this. Baldr Force is one of my favorite games, being a dreamcast fanatic

[zalas]

Ooh, that looks pretty nice. You don't miss much in the audio; it's just the opening theme.

I took a few minutes and reconstructed the audio from the single:

[darkchibi07]

Yay, KOTOKO!!! I'll check this OVA out just for the OP song!

BALDR FORCE EXE Resolution
Official site: http://www.trinet-ent.com/baldrforce/
Total Episodes: 4 OVAs - 08.09.2006 till ?
Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Game, Mecha, Science-Fiction

Based on a game by Giga

From AnimeNfo:

Any network runs all over the world, and the development of the information network reaches its acme. In this age, there are two developed worlds; “the real world” and “wired”, or the virtual network world.

Soma Toru belongs to a hacking group, Steppen Wolf, which runs around the network world freely. They attack the database of the UN forces as their last work. During this attack, he loses Nonomura Yuya, his friend as well as the team leader. Toru is arrested by the army. In exchange for letting him free, he has to work for an anti-hacker organization, the first squad of the UN Security Force Information Administration Bureau.

Working for them, he is looking for the person who killed his friend, while the other members also have their own reason to fight.

The three-way fights of the terrorist group, the security enterprise, and the army, continue every day. The various events occurred during the fight seem to be independent of each other at the first glance, but they’re converging on one event as if they were attracted by something.
