About Broken Blade

Broken Blade (ブレイク ブレイド 覚醒ノ刻) blends action, fantasy and mecha by Production I.G and Xebec (2010). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: In the continent of Cruzon, an impending war between the Kingdom of Krisna and the nation of Athens is brimming. The people of this land are able to use quartz for whatever purpose they desire.

Further in, one person, Rygart Arrow, is not. He is an "un-sorcerer," a person unable to use quartz. This characteristic will enable him to pilot a long-lost Golem, one strong enough to put up a struggle against the invading army of Athens.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Souichirou Hoshi as Rygart Arrow and Chiwa Saitou as Sigyn Erster. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
