Arknights: Prelude To Dawn: Episode 4 "Loyalty" Review

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


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


Arknights ' TV series is already almost half over, and thus far the world is compelling and yearning to be shown off through the beautiful artwork more, but the story and characters themselves are mixed. Amiya is a far more interesting protagonist than she was in the first episode, but the cast at large hasn't yet truly impressed


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


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


He is negotiating with the Doctor, Amiya, and the newly introduced Doctor Kal'tsit, about a contract between Rhodes Island and the city of Lungmen, to work together and share intel. With fears of another attack from Reunion, Kal'tsit insists that a contract is integral to stave off disaster and that Lungmen's infected policy won't eschew the ire of Reun


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


Speaking of Ace, his seeming death was perhaps the show's first misstep from a directing standpoint , if only because it is so poorly edited. We are shown him, alone, facing down Reunion at supposedly full strength, and then in the next scene, only he and one member of his unit rem

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 ' 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

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 news. 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


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
