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

Ace's death should serve as some catalyst for character growth; a tragedy that pushes the characters forward, but it feels like it just happens, which is unfortunate. This episode also leads one to worry about how fleshed-out the characters will be in this series, given a clearly large cast, but only limited time to show t


In Episode 2, there was a line about how the Ursus Empire was using fake news to quell worries about the riots, by claiming that Chernobog's unrest was already contained. The idea that there might be a larger conspiracy at play is compelling, and as the writers have adeptly expanded on the world with each new episode, so too has the conspiracy evol


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


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


The city of Chernobog never moved away from the oncoming catastrophe, even though the cities are established to be mobile, and it's unclear why. Sabotage could be the answer, but if that's the case, it makes one wonder how a similar fate might befall the metropolis that is Lungmen. Having started the series seeing how Reunion can destroy a city, it makes the introduction to a new one that much more interest


Arknights is one of those projects that one can have a skewed perspective of depending on how they've been targeted. The luckiest of us all will see gorgeously animated ads promoting a cool dystopian future with lots of gunfights and half-animal people while those less fortunate will see some of the worst TV live-action ads ever concoc


The protagonist, Doctor, wakes up after having been given medical attention, just as a group called Reunion is storming the hideout. As Doctor is being escorted away, they reveal that they have no memory of what happened before the attack, causing dismay among his allies. The tension can be felt, even with the audience given as little context as the amnesiac hims


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 would feel slightly different, translating an art style that is very against the gr


Whatever form a narrative takes in a mobile game will undoubtedly be difficult to translate into a serialized narrative without taking liberties to account for pacing and a shift in priorities. At the most limited capacity, a game demands consistent and structured gameplay, with narrative serving as a break from gamep

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


Granted a lot of mobile game promotional material is produced well but in short bursts, hence why the Fate/Grand Order commercials always look so unbelievably detailed. However, through effective use of digital effects work and keen directing, Arknights' visual style isn't so detailed that a TV animation couldn't be imagined in a similar qual
