History
The Black★Rock Shooter music video surpassed 1 million views within four months since its upload date on June 13, 2008. This caught the attention of Good Smile Company, a manufacturing company of figures and other hobby goods, which then partnered with huke to further develop Black★Rock Shooter into a media franchise. Good Smile Company revealed its first Black★Rock Shooter figure in Wonderful Hobby Life for You!! 9 in February 2009.

The president and CEO of Good Smile Company Takanori Aki contacted then founder of Ordet studio Yutaka Yamamoto to produce animation based on the song and its music video. In September 2009 Ordet released Black★Rock Shooter -Pilot Edition- - a preview of what would become the full original video animation in 2010.

Other Appearances
