'Broken Blade' OVA production got cancelled

The original video animation (OVA) adaptation of Yunosuke Yoshinaga’s Broken Blade (Break Blade) manga has been cancelled, Comic Meteor Japan announced on Wednesday, December 28.

The announcement said that the decision to cancel the OVA has been made in consultation with the author.

“We sincerely apologize to all the fans who have been looking forward to it. We look forward to your continued support,” the announcement, originally written in Japanese, further read.

But when an ancient Golem is discovered during the height of a brutal war, a Young King and his beautiful queen turn to Rygart Arrow. Though an ‘un-sorcerer,’ Rygart can miraculously pilot this ancient and powerful weapon. But in war, school friends can turn into bitter enemies and allies have suspicious motives.”
