Synopsis

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.

Dec 15, 2024
For a show based on a Gacha game, and assumedly only made as an advertisement, the show is overall “good.” As someone who played through the game’s story until about halfway through the shows story, it would be fair to say they made it a lot more engaging than the original. However, the somewhat Janky fight & action scenes, as well as horrible default subtitles, take away from what is a very pretty anime with an interesting world and fun & cute characters. If you’re going to watch it, use fan subtitles.

For viewers who haven’t played the game, there will be a lack of ...

Mixed Feelings
This is a visually stunning adaptation that successfully captures much of what fans love about the game. However, it does have its shortcomings in storytelling clarity and character depth. As a fan, I enjoyed watching it for its aesthetic appeal and familiar characters, but I do hope that future adaptations take these critiques into account to provide a more cohesive and engaging experience for all viewers. As someone who has followed both the mobile game "Blue Archive" and its recent anime adaptation, I found the review to be a thoughtful and balanced assessment of the series. I wholeheartedly agree with the praise for the animation ...

This anime was made with the only objective of bringing people to play their game. This anime is very shallow, uninteresting protagonists, the "sensei" doesn't seem like a huge help, he's only there to make a plan in the last second and leave others to execute it, the story was very rushed and didn't had enough time to create a connection with the audience, I didn't care at all if the protagonists were losing.

But there were some good things, its obvious the character design was good, some of them had pretty iconic looks. And by far the best thing about this show was Problem Solver ...
