I’ll do a drawing request for anyone who puts together a BRS background porn photo set
(FREE registration to NicoNico.com, NicoVideo.jp, or any other NicoNicoDouga websites required)
It’s unknown how often these episodes will be uploaded, but a good rule of thumb might be to expect a 5-episode backlog, since the current episode is #7 and the uploaded one is #2.
If you’re already all caught up, don’t forget to use the Official BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER Subs on NicoNicoDouga! These are released every Friday, the day after the original episode airs in Japan, at 6AM PST/9AM EST. They stay up until the next episode is uploaded and are completely FREE!
OK FUCK I JUST LOST THE ENTIRE POST
AND I’M PISSED OFF ABOUT THAT
SO I’M GONNA TL;DR IT IN ALL CAPS
I can’t stress this enough.
Don’t just download the torrents/subs. Watch the official streams.
First of all, you might actually be able to rip off the official streams. I haven’t tried it, but all NicoNicoDouga videos can be ripped as long as they are available.
The stream is high-quality if your internet is good. Rips are nice, but they don’t always have great quality.
And they want to see you watching the streams. Like, holy shit, they went out of their way to get someone (maybe even pay them) to subtitle the anime as it’s released. Why the heck would you not want to support that?
And knowing the anime industry, they’re testing us. They’re testing the waters of the market, like, are they actually going to watch the streams? Should we keep doing this? And the big one - What’s the potential foreign market?
A lot of us like localization. We like it when they make the DVD available to us, because then we can support the companies, which has been a big issue for a while. So if you don’t support the streams, you’re letting a good part of the fanbase down, and a good part of the anime industry itself down.
Here’s a link to the stream:

They release one episode for a week every Friday at 9AM EST/6AM PST.
Seriously. Just watch it.
(And you can make stupid comments scroll across the screen for others to see in real time! Wooooo.)
I LOVE HOW THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SHOW
IS THAT THE LITERAL BATTLES ARE METAPHORS FOR THE HUMAN-WORLD BATTLES
THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SHOW
BUT IT’S A GOOD PLOT
THEREFORE GOOD BATTLES
