Crunchyroll describes the anime:

In the world of BBK/BRNK, It's been ten years since Azuma Kazuki has been in Japan, and upon his arrival he is taken prisoner by a group of armed men. Azuma is saved by his childhood friend, Kogane Asabuki, thanks to a living weapon she wields on her right hand, known as a Bubuki. Learning about these weapons, Azuma becomes a Bubuki wielder himself and sets out on a journey.

Both the main staff and cast are all returning for the sequel anime. Megumi Han (who plays Reoko Banryū in the series) is performing the opening theme song "Reirō taru Junketsu wa 'Kōen' no Kairai o Hayarase, Gyōten ni Kirameku Akashi o Kizamu.", and Mikako Komatsu (who plays Shizuru Taneomi in the series) is performing the ending theme song "so beautiful ;- )". Both singles for the songs will ship on November 30.

The original BBK/BRNK television anime series served as SANZIGEN Animation Studio's 10th anniversary animation project. The series premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo on January 9. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
