When Azuma Ikki returns to Japan after 10 years, he gets assaulted by a group of armed men and becomes their prisoner. Kogane Asabuki, a childhood friend, saves him with a weapon on her right hand known as Bubuki; a weapon with its own mind. Azuma Ikki, who is a Bubuki user himself, learns about the existence of Bubuki and goes on a journey alongside the companions he has found, in an attempt to find and revive Oumai, a Buranki (titan) who sleeps underground.

Where it came from
BBK/BRNK, also known as Bubuki Buranki, was produced by Studio SANZIGEN to commemorate the studio's tenth anniversary. Premiering in 2016, the series was conceived as a high-concept project that blended traditional character animation with complex 3D modeling for the titular giant robots, known as Buranki. The production was directed by Daizen Komatsuda and featured series composition by Jiro Ishii and Yukinori Kitajima, who aimed to revitalize the mecha genre by integrating character-driven emotional stakes with kinetic, full-CG action sequences.
The visual identity of the series was heavily influenced by the distinct character designs of Yuusuke Kozaki, who sought to give the protagonists a modern, stylistically sharp aesthetic. Upon its release, the series received attention for its ambitious technical approach to 3D animation, though it also faced mixed reviews regarding its narrative density. While it remains a niche entry in the modern mecha catalog, it stands as a significant case study in the evolution of cel-shaded CG techniques within Japanese television animation during the mid-2010s.
