Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 1 "Predestination" Review

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 Games strategy. 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


In stark contrast to the towering buildings seen in the early episode, the slums of Lungmen appear almost a world away, and it's there that we find Misha, an Ursus girl on the run. She's hidden among the undocumented infected flocking to Lungmen, though not much else is revealed about her thus far. It's only known that she's wanted by the authorities and that plenty of punks in the slums are searching for


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


Arknights ' cast is almost entirely full of humans with some animal traits, typically ears or horns, but Wei Yenwu, the chief of the city of Lungmen nicknamed Wei the Cunning, is on a whole other level. His character design and the regal nature of his office immediately make an impression, giving him a unique air of significance in this world that solidifies the strength he holds within the sc


Once again, the background art of locations is stunning, with the use of depth of field to give the imagery a particularly filmic look at times. This is the kind of globe-trotting adventure story that thrives specifically because of its art direction and with anime's arguable decline in background art quality, the industry should take notes from this s


Unfortunately, the only way it appears on the planet is through catastrophes. This obviously makes living in one place for too long a big risk, and as the episode explains, the cities in the world of Terra are mobile , a surprise revelation that makes a lot of sense. As the characters themselves point out, the mystery is why Chernobog didn't m


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


Presentation is by far this show's greatest weapon, and between the colors, the scenery, and the aspect ratio, Arknights looks very different from a lot of contemporary anime. Mobile game commercials often present a broad anime aesthetic , but they're created so short and bursting with style that they often look different from any actual an

Back in 2020, to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the game's release, Yostar released a 10-minute special called Holy Knight Light , with much of the same staff that will be tackling the TV anime. It's highly recommended to get an idea of what to expect from the show. Plenty of action interspersed with some levity for good measure, all drenched in some well-directed cinematic light

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
