Blue Archive the Animation

Kivotos is a federal megalopolis comprising thousands of schools and is led by the General Student Council (GSC), which acts as its governing body. Ironically, despite being an academy city, Kivotos is rife with gun violence, and all students wield firearms as part of their everyday lives.

As if the crisis in Kivotos was not enough, the GSC president is nowhere to be found. Fortunately, before her sudden disappearance, the GSC president enlisted the help of Sensei—a teacher who is most likely the only one in Kivotos—to support students in their time of need. Sensei's first course of action is to assist Abydos High School, a once prestigious academy now with merely five students in attendance. These remaining students are doing everything they can to pay their academy's crippling debt of almost one billion yen.

play the game and youll actually get more attached to the peak story writing

the anime just doesnt cover all that is in game so i recommend, after watching this, play the game and continue the chapters there :>

there will be more characters and far more interesting stories and exposure for sensei's capabilities. peak archive

and if youre looking for more fighting animations, well the game does have some of that too. the fighting scenes in the anime arent even bad ngl

OP and ED songs are good too (just gotta add that.) If you got a different taste from combat and slice of life, it may not ... be for you but you should try it out and see for yourself first.

**Review of "Blue Archive: The Animation"**

*Blue Archive: The Animation* brings the beloved mobile game to life, capturing the essence of its vibrant world, memorable characters, and compelling narrative. The show manages to strike a balance between action, humor, and heartwarming moments, making it a delightful watch for both fans of the game and newcomers alike.

**Visuals and Animation:** The animation quality is commendable, with vibrant colors and fluid character movements that stay true to the game's aesthetic. The character designs are faithfully recreated, retaining their charm and distinct personalities. The action sequences are well-executed, blending dynamic choreography with eye-catching special effects.

**Storyline:** The plot follows the main ... storyline of the game, focusing on the adventures of the students at Kivotos academy. The series does a great job of adapting the game's narrative, weaving in both the lighthearted and darker elements of the story. It explores the relationships between the characters, giving depth to their interactions and highlighting their growth over the course of the series.

**Characters:** One of the show's strengths lies in its character development. Each character is given a moment to shine, and the voice acting brings them to life with emotion and personality. Whether it's the determined and energetic Arona, the cool-headed and strategic Shiroko, or the cheerful and supportive Hoshino, the characters are endearing and relatable.

**Soundtrack:** The soundtrack complements the show's atmosphere perfectly, featuring a mix of upbeat tracks during action scenes and softer, more emotional pieces during character-focused moments. The opening and ending themes are catchy and well-suited to the overall tone of the series.

**Conclusion:** *Blue Archive: The Animation* is a must-watch for fans of the game and anime enthusiasts looking for a blend of action, comedy, and heartfelt moments. While it caters primarily to those familiar with the game, the show offers enough context and character development to engage new viewers. It’s a fun and visually appealing series that captures the spirit of *Blue Archive* in an animated format.

I haven't played Blue Archive nor have I read the volumes it has, but if you like Blue Archive you might like this. If like the trope 'cute girls doing cute things' then you might also like this. This anime could've been so good for more reasons if they just tried to make a proper anime which is kinda sad since not many games get anime adaptations so it was interesting at first, until the 3rd episode.

Nothing special happens, nothing note worthy, nothing breathtaking, just chatter chatter chatter and a gun fight every episode and a half that lasts a couple of minutes and it's ... just sooo boring. The characters aren't really characters, just cardboard cutouts and insulting to the cardboard cutouts.

The world though is cool ish but underused, which is kinda sad because they could have done something interesting with whole city is in sand part and how they celebrate the small things because they can't take it for granted but that's not what happens. Basically if they want something to happen, it happens.

This is a great anime for Youtubers when talk about the game Blue Archive since they can include clips from the anime and put it into the video to keep your attention. If anything, it's promotional material. Not really worth putting actual time into watching by yourself. Probably not even an anime to watch while drunk with friends.
