Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 2 "Flame" Review

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

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


Mobile anime games news like Arknights are some of the biggest teases out there, in that from the outside looking in they present themselves as much larger than it is. People who have seen its myriad ads and animated promotional material no doubt have committed its name and iconography to memory without ever seeing a glimpse of the tower-defense gamep


Last week, the powerful fire-wielding Talulah cornered the members of Rhodes Island and saw fit to incinerate the lot of them. As Episode 3 opens, Amiya demonstrates her own power in shielding her allies, though only so far as to hold off what seems like an inevitably bloody bat


Obviously, AAA gaming has intermixed story and gameplay considerably in the past three decades, but mobile games still remain challenging to translate one-to-one. Even Fate/Grand Order 's most well-received adaptations like Babylonia or Camelot have received criticism for pacing or the omission of certain story be


The color comes through in the characters and their magic, which seems to lighten up the world in the same ways that they aim to cure the illness plaguing it. With every animated OVA, ad, and special animation having been animated in-house at Yostar Pictures, the style remains consistent, though sometimes animated in 3D rather than


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


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

Last week, the Chernobog incident came to a close with the characters narrowly escaping at the presumed cost of Ace and the majority of his team. In the aftermath, Rhodes Island has geared up for their next quest: brokering an alliance with the higher-ups in Lungmen to protect the city from another attack from Reun


The infected are made outcasts, prompting many to join a militant group called Reunion in opposition to the world governments. Between the resistance movement and the corrupt governments are the protagonists, the operators of Rhodes Island, led by the protagonist and player character, "Doct


With that said, Arknights ' premiere does a fine job of introducing audiences to the world of Terra through the eyes of the protagonist much in the same way a game might. Perhaps the amnesia trope and the resulting exposition can come off as a tiresome conceit to the mobile game's trappings, but it's all in service of translating the game's mechanics into a functional st


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

From the last guard's reaction, Ace apparently lost his arm, but there is no shot of the other arm, making it honestly hard to be certain if that is what happened. That is to say nothing of how confusing it is if Ace survived the previous implied scene between him and Reunion. Structurally, the sequence is all over the pl

The complaint from last week stands that there are an abundance of characters and only so much time to introduce and explore them properly. However, for what it's worth, this episode, full of mostly new characters, does very well by them. With four episodes remaining, the series has built itself up nicely despite all the troubles of mobile game adaptations , and it'll be very exciting to see if it can stick the land
