In a dystopian future, the inhabitants of the planet Terra display traits of animals, and a disease has spread across the world called "oripathy." This disease actually gives people the capability to wield magic, but such benefits are meager before the mortality and infectious spr

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
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
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

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
The pace and flow with which the world's many concepts are expanded is commendable, starting first and foremost with the reveal of what the catastrophe truly is: a fiery meteor shower. And for how violent it is, it's also the only reason the heroes manage to escape, even if it meant Ace and his team staying behind to hold off Talu
Thankfully, as the characters make their escape and return home, there is more good than bad, starting with the aforementioned elaboration on the catastrophe. Not only is there raining fire, but the meteors themselves contain Originium, thus creating large crystalline fields full of the mineral. It's a mineral that grows, meaning there isn't much scarc
Yostar Pictures' resume isn't quite extensive, mostly relegated to short specials , the commercials for their mobile games, and the Azur Lane TV Anime Games Beginner Guide from 2019, which sits at a 6.29 on MAL. Still, based on what they have presented for Arknights in animation up to this point not only looks pretty but has proven it can tell a fun story too. The music is pretty great too; a cultural blend of genres that has netted some impressive artists to lend their talents to the franch
Prelude to Dawn continues to find clever ways to turn what would traditionally be a tower defense battle segment into a narratively legible sequence that pushes the story along. Doctor's drones being temporarily taken out makes it clear that the tower defense conceit of the source material isn't so rigid within this series that it can't be subver
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
Last week, Doctor woke up with no memory of who he was, being escorted to safety in a city overrun by terrorist rioters, before remembering enough tactical wherewithal to coordinate a defense. When we left the members of Rhodes Island, they were attempting to leave Chernobog to avoid the impending catastro
Originium is a conduit for energy, but it can also give people Oripathy, meaning that those with the infection can use Arts because of the Originium in their bodies. However, the powers also use life force as fuel, hence Rhodes Island's quest to cure it. It's a fascinating power system with some tangible drawbacks that add dr
