"Blazblue" is a set of traditional 2D fighting where two characters participate in a duel on a two-dimensional plane. A television anime adaptation of Calamity Trigger titled BlazBlue: Alter Memory has been announced and will air in Fall 2013.
Even before the events of BlazBlue, humanity was brought to the brink of destruction by a creature from the darkness, the "Black Beast." The world was saved by six heroes then, holders of magic. They helped humanity create "Ars Magus", a combination of technology and magic to defeat the "Black Beast."
