Based on the original work by Keiko Ichihara, "Baku Gari," which previously had a drama CD release, has been announced for an anime adaptation. The broadcast is scheduled for May 2, 2010, on the Japanese channel BS11. When I first saw this news, I was quite shocked! I had thought there wouldn't be a continuation after the release of the fourth CD volume, but then out pops this TV adaptation news—it's really puzzling why? Although this drama CD series can't be said to be of poor quality, it wasn't exactly wildly popular either, and examples of drama CDs being directly adapted into anime are relatively few. What kind of anime will it ultimately become? I still have some expectations in my heart. Additionally, the voice cast and production staff for the anime version have not yet been announced. I estimate the likelihood of the anime retaining the drama CD voice cast is very high. 【STORY】 I am the Baku Hunter. Tonight, I shall become their god of death...
