BlazBlue Radio

BlazBlue Radio, also known as BlueRadio (ぶるらじ bururaji), is a radio show started on April 9th, 2009 on Nico Nico Douga. The main purpose of the show is to support and promote the BlazBlue franchise. The radio show is unique in that it is not only a voiced show, but also contains animations and art by the staff to create a more active and lively radio show. The main animations are super deformed versions of each character such as those seen on Teach Me, Miss Litchi.

As of June 3rd, 2010, a continuation show called Continued - BlueRadio (続・ぶるらじ zoku - bururaji) began appearing on Nico Nico Douga. Similar to the first series of radio shows, this series also supports BlazBlue, specifically Continuum Shift.

Yet another series called BlueRadio - Wide (ぶるらじ・ワイド bururaji - waido) began on March 31st, 2011 on Nico Nico Douga. As with before, supporting BlazBlue is the radio show's main goal, but they concentrate more on Continuum Shift II this time around.

Information
The main three members of BlueRadio are Ragna the Bloodedge's Tomokazu Sugita, Noel Vermillion's Kanako Kondou, and Tsubaki Yayoi's Asami Imai. Amongst regular radio show activities such as reading fan letters, they also partake in different corners every airing. Almost every time there is a guest voice actor from BlazBlue who joins them. There are officially 12 episodes, a special episode after Continuum Shift's release, and a 4-part release of the BlueFes Spring Raid convention.

Continued - BlueRadio is much the same as the original BlueRadio but with different corners. Continued - BlueRadio ended with 13 episodes.

BlazBlue - Wide brings something new to the formula by widening the screen from 4:3 ratio to 16:9 ratio. Other than that, it is the same type of show.

Main Corners (First BlueRadio)
Scold him/her, Ragna-kun - A fan submits a letter about a recent embarrassing event in their life, and Sugita scolds him/her. There are various variations depending on guests.

'''What if? BlazBlue''' - A what-if battle situation is read, and the BlueRadio members have to think of something to say in ad lib.

Faint Memory Grimoire - A physical subject is read, and the BlueRadio members try and draw the subject. For example, once they are told to draw "the final boss in BlazBlue."

'''Battle! Battle!''' - A competing event is done so that Kondo, Imai, and the guest (if there is one) try and take away all of Sugita's 100 tentama points away.

Noel Poem - Kondo, as Noel, reads a poem usually written by a fan.

Tsubaki's Whisper - Imai, as Tsubaki, shares her thoughts on a subject, usually something random or spontaneous.

Main Corners (Continued - BlueRadio)
Scold him/her more, Ragna-kun - A fan submits a letter about a recent embarassing event in their life, and Sugita sometimes scolds him/her. Most of the time he makes a joke or references an Anime or another video game.

Military Academy Art Room - A (usually) simple drawing is made, and the BlueRadio members must expand upon it based on a certain theme.

This is the Power of the Azure! - The chant Ragna says during his Astral Heat is broken up via mad lib and the BlueRadio members must filled in the empty portions with something that pertains to a certain theme.

'''Fight!! Kagutsuchi Dojo''' - The first few episodes has Sugita asking the other members what the meaning of a certain fighting game term means. The latter episodes has Sugita reading sentences with missing words, and the remaining members must guess which word fits in the missing areas from a list of choices.

Noel Poem - Exactly the same as from the first BlueRadio, but the other BlueRadio members will usually add on a certain phrase at the end for comedy.

Tsubaki's Report Book - Imai, as Tsubaki, gives an interview to the guest, also playing as his/her own character.
