Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 4 "Loyalty" Review
Yostar Pictures' resume isn't quite extensive, mostly relegated to short specials , the commercials for their mobile games, and the Azur Lane TV anime 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
Rhodes Island is cornered by a unit of Reunion led by Crownslayer, a mysterious Arts user who appears to not get along with other generals such as the insane Mephisto. Crownslayer's interest in Doctor gives the impression that she might have ulterior motives distinct from the major facti
It doesn't help that some characters don't feel like they were conceived as real characters , such as generically named "Guard" which is hardly an effective codename among an army of lookalikes. All the characters are named such that they feel like code names rather than true identities, and it really emphasizes that this is all based on a mobile game. It can take one out of the experie
Arknights is a Chinese mobile game from developer Hypergryph, released in 2019 and spread internationally in 2020, where it became something of a sensation. Not just for its dark military aesthetic crossed with striking character designs, but also for its large, often humorous marketing campaign. Just like games such as Fate/Grand Order before it, the audience can only take so much teasing from gorgeous animated commercials before they demand a TV/film adaptation. After a nine-minute anniversary short, Holy Knight Light , fans got a taste of what a full Arknights show might look like. Almost two years later and now the story has its first legitimate adaptati

Arknights came back strong this week with a more relaxed episode introducing a new locale and new characters, dropping hints of a more significant battle to come. Until that happens, however, it's nice to see a new city to get a sense of what normal life is like in this world that has so far only been explored through ruin and
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

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
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
This anime coming to be is something of a blessing to anyone who has been vaguely interested in the series from its marketing but utterly uninterested in playing the game itself. It's a similar hurdle that holds fans of Fate from playing Fate/Grand Order , and why the animated adaptations of the stories are so anticipat
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
A recurring appraisal of Arknights ' TV series circulating online is the sense of dread and despair following the protagonists throughout, something which is at its peak in the newest episode. It also marks the end of the Chernobog chapter of this story , offering some rest before tossing the characters into a new m
The story sounds pretty compelling , and the visual style presented through the ads and various cinematics since the game's launch is really enticing. It's an intersection of cute anime girls with militaristic aesthetics that caters to a very specific niche, but the use of color is unique. The whole world is gray, and the monotony is only broken up by vibrant bursts of co
