Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 3 "Escort" Review

The sense of space can be hypnotic , and the characters traverse this huge underground facility with spiraling staircases and huge, liminal spaces. Outside, the overcast sky lets the tension loom like the storm in the distance, which the characters refer to as a "catastrophe." It's unclear what that means or why such a catastrophe happ


Mephisto's attitude and attire immediately make an impression, and it's mostly a positive one, even if his brand of crazy can feel a little overdone in anime. The action in this episode had its moments, though the choreography and direction weren't spectacular. Once the heroes' backup arrived, they seemed to just appear as a comically huge group as if no one had noticed their approach. They weren't even sneaking up on any


This episode also introduces members of a PMC group called Blacksteel that occasionally works with Rhodes Island. Just as Amiya learns about Misha being hunted by bad guys from the children in the slums, the two members of Blacksteel talk about searching for her on the orders of Lungmen's Guard Departm

This anime coming to be is something of a blessing to anyone who has been vaguely interested in the series from its marketing but utterly uninterested in playing the game itself. It's a similar hurdle that holds fans of Fate from playing Fate/Grand Order , and why the animated adaptations of the stories are so anticipat


One of the Rhodes Island soldiers angrily expresses that the clinic got what was coming to it, as they had refused to help Rhodes Island as well. What followed was an interesting monologue by Amiya, who expresses that even if they have a commonality, it doesn't make it easy to trust people. She expresses how humans build walls to feel safe because they want some degree of norma


The premiere of Arknights might not be as fun as 2020's Holy Knight Light , but it possesses a similar passion behind it. Having the protagonist command the characters via essentially a smartphone is on the nose, but played straight in a way that's commendable. It will be exciting to see how this world expands and learn why so many have been drawn to Arknights before


A terrorist group named Reunion wages war against the government of Ursus, and though they were once merely activists, they became tired of the prejudice. The protagonists are stuck in the middle, members of Rhodes Island, a group researching a cure for Oripathy and attempting to save those stuck in the midst of the war between the two facti


It's also worth considering the cultural blend of influences that inspired the original game, it being a Chinese game and Chinese animation (donghua) having a noticeable difference in style. So it's natural that this Anime Games news would feel slightly different, translating an art style that is very against the gr


The appearance of W in this episode encapsulates this perfectly. Once again, a character with a cool design pops up and corners the heroes with a retinue of Reunion henchmen. But all they do is ask for the Doctor to be handed over, get turned down, and then just walk away ominously. They may as well have said, "see you in a few episodes when I matt


Arknights came back strong this week with a more relaxed episode introducing a new locale and new characters, dropping hints of a more significant battle to come. Until that happens, however, it's nice to see a new city to get a sense of what normal life is like in this world that has so far only been explored through ruin and


Perhaps it's another caveat of being a mobile game adaptation; with so many characters whose chief goal is to have a striking character design, characterizations become simpler. Through a game medium, that can be effective, with lore as a supplementary resource to flesh out characters. In a show, however, it can lead to characters feeling somewhat pointless at the mom


In this world, there are those infected with Oripathy, an infection that causes people to slowly crystalize until their body fractures and spreads the disease. The cost seems to outweigh the primary benefit, which is the ability to cast magic . The world of Terra is prejudiced against those who possess Oripathy, even though it isn't spread through to


He is negotiating with the Doctor, Amiya, and the newly introduced Doctor Kal'tsit, about a contract between Rhodes Island and the city of Lungmen, to work together and share intel. With fears of another attack from Reunion, Kal'tsit insists that a contract is integral to stave off disaster and that Lungmen's infected policy won't eschew the ire of Reun
