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

Arknights ' premiere had promise, but it didn't quite go above and beyond to offer a climax or plot hook that felt particularly strong. However, its artwork and direction were just striking enough to pique curiosity and instill some hope that it could get better, and that bet seems to be paying off so


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 Games Beginner Guide's arguable decline in background art quality, the industry should take notes from this s


So when watching the scene it seems like there might be tension between Rhodes Island and Lungmen's government who are using the PMC as hunting dogs . However, by the end of the episode, Amiya, the Doctor, and the two from Blacksteel meet Misha and convince her to come with them toget


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

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

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


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


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 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

This episode was an improvement, not in a huge monumental way, but for how it started to dip into more compelling parts of its dark and politically divided world. It also gave some much-appreciated explanations about magic . Magic isn't just cast by those with Oripathy, but also by people who use a material called Origin


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
