Blood Blockade Battlefront is a manga by Yasuhiro Nightow, the same man who authored Trigun among others. It started serialization in 2009, and has 10 volumes published so far. The story takes place in a fictional version of New York, unfolding hot battles on the concept of a “yell the name of the technique then hit” type of manga.
The TV anime is produced by Bones, with Rie Matsumoto, who also directed Kyosogiga, as director. The anime contains many original elements not present in the original manga, which, coupled with its heated developments, make it popular among both genders alike.
