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


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


So all seems well, but it wouldn't be surprising if there was some tension arising later, especially given the treatment of infected in the city. For the time being though, that's the least of the characters' concerns, as the episode ends with a new antagonist watching on from h


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


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

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


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


It's also worth considering the cultural blend of influences that inspired the original game, it being a Chinese game and Chinese animation (donghua) having a noticeable difference in style. So it's natural that this anime games news would feel slightly different, translating an art style that is very against the gr


Perhaps it's another caveat of being a mobile game adaptation; with so many characters whose chief goal is to have a striking character design, characterizations become simpler. Through a game medium, that can be effective, with lore as a supplementary resource to flesh out characters. In a show, however, it can lead to characters feeling somewhat pointless at the mom


Originium is a conduit for energy, but it can also give people Oripathy, meaning that those with the infection can use Arts because of the Originium in their bodies. However, the powers also use life force as fuel, hence Rhodes Island's quest to cure it. It's a fascinating power system with some tangible drawbacks that add dr

Thankfully, as the characters make their escape and return home, there is more good than bad, starting with the aforementioned elaboration on the catastrophe. Not only is there raining fire, but the meteors themselves contain Originium, thus creating large crystalline fields full of the mineral. It's a mineral that grows, meaning there isn't much scarc


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
