Wakamo's appearance immediately at the start huh. Giving us some info on how sensei got the Shittim Chest on the first episode.

Damn that sandstorm really messed up that city.

Angsty tsun Serika causing Sensei to be depressed, also being called a stalker, RIP.

Helmet gang packing some heat with all those tanks and security just for Serika's kidnapping.
Somehow Hoshino's shotgun denting the tanks armor? Just how strong is that shotgun...

Serika's face when she thanks Sensei, so adorable.

Part C with a sneak peak at Problem Solver 68.

Ending song - 「真昼の空の月」

The episode was yet again amazing Uohh😭😭

The anime is doing an even better job at perfectly capturing why sensei is the harem lord he is but I think quite obvioisly star of the episode was tsundere-chan serika💢💢💢
Shes so cute, the part where
is just 💢💢💢💢💢
hope the quality continues with the entirety of the anime.

I love cunny archive and how amazing this anime is, as GFL fan Im glad this isnt turning out like GFL lmao
Sure CG was awful but the overall quality was decent. Though that might be self bias speaking because I am a huge cunny archive fan. What did you guys think about the episode?

It was a lot of fun, it's a nice perspective on how it the Serika part of the story was adapted, cute indeed, pretty nice to see the prologue at the start and the PS68 girls at the end.

The ending theme is also cool https://youtu.be/d0rctEnBwsQ?

So I actually started playing this, and... I don't really understand anything and what should I do yet, but it's fun lol. Also rerolling is pain (applies to all gacha games). I'd actually like to reroll more, but I'm pretty sure I can't receive the rewards for episode 1 anymore, and I kinda don't want to miss that, soooo yeah.

Oh hey, they adapted the prologue now. I was so surprised when I first saw that Arona can actually pronounce my username.
Btw at the end of the OP it's not the usual Anime name + "production committee", but "Abydos shopping district".
Serika was really cute at the end.
Really nice ED, there is so much movement.

The OP is too good I'm addicted, this episode focuses on Serika and some explanations at the beginning, the animation is too good I hope it can maintain this quality every episode.

Next week we will see Aru in action?! PEAKKK ARCHIVE, ED very nice and chill and lots of movement, sensei is so hot omg.

Another solid episode in spite of the slight dip in the art style. If only the art looked as smooth as in the OP... oh well.

Content wise it was a Kot focused episode, not too shabby. Prologue was featured too which was nice as we got some more cameos. Now to await for next week to see more of the Handyman 68 girls.

Finally props for the ED as it stands up, in a different way, to the OP. We are looking good fellow Senseis

Loved how the visuals evoked a nostalgic and wholesome vibe. Seeing the Abydos girls like this helps to cure the PTSD from Volume F.

PS: Princess featured in the OP unlike last week. My weekly crumbs :)

@Mikey-Thriller that moment was cool, but that was the only time where sensei did something. Before that, he just enjoyed his time with Ayane in the car.

Well, the main point is that I hope Yostar makes sensei order students more and much better than the first episode (he just said "aim" or "shoot")
cute and funny 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I like how they're showing the characters' EX abilities, but instead of following the game's utility of what they're actually used for, they're applying some actual logic to it

Also damn they really put a lot of effort into both the OP and ED for this

Every time Hoshino makes a sound, I can't refrain from laughing. I love her voice and her gimmicks.

The intro of the story lasted like only 30 seconds huh, anyway the beginning of Vol.1 is the weakest part of the main story so I'm not afraid for what's to come.

Still overall a cute and funny episode, and the ending is awesome, very wholesome.

I envy people who are big enough fans of this to consider it a masterpiece and enjoy it as much as they seem to. Personally I think It's dumb, and I hate it. I cannot find anything of value in this outside of pretty pictures. All the effort was clearly put on animation. Characters are bland, the pacing sucks, the music is mediocre at best, the plot is written with AI, and the dialogue is cringy as fuck. Please remember that you're allowed to enjoy something a random stranger doesn't, and you are free to disagree with them. As for me - I probably won't be back for the 3rd episode.

A boring conflict resolved in a boring way, that was the whole episode XD
Ok, after two episodes I say that this anime is a strange, uninvolving and boring collection of things with no specific plot, I will probably drop it after the third episode. So I'm curious if this anime can really be liked by someone who hasn't played the game and has no attachment to the series.

How can be the subs so bad?
I feel my brain cells dying.

A quick summary of the prologue, the events of shiba seki and tease of Problem Solver, not that much to comment.

OST is still way inferior to the game.

So of all shit that's happening there they decided to explain only why they have the debt, not even how are they paying that debt since they are highschoolers and all they do is pointlessly sitting in that school.😂😂😂

Ah, Rin my beloved. As expected, she looks great in anime form.
So... that's all the Prologue we are gonna get?

Enjoyable second episode. Conflict with Serika and the Helmet Gang mobs was basically dumb fun. Just like the beginning of Vol.1 until things get serious.
Also, PS68 girls next episode. Nice.

ED looks incredible, btw.

All the people dropping this early will never reach peak, there is a reason this is #1 in Japan this season. But I must admit that the start of the story is rough - even in the game. Still, no peak for droppers lol

Its peak, changed my mind. Rofl Crusader tank got destroyed by bolt action rifle. Puma got destroyed by explosive box which nowhere close toward tank

Guess someone just play with 500% booster on.

Well the action scene has revealed itself. Those cgi models are rough to watch yikes. Understandable the studio doesn't do those tanks and cars in 2D but I was hoping they would add in a little more details on them, like shadow, for example. But oh well.

Not sure if it's only me, but the flashback at the beginning feels like an after thought. It doesn't need to be a flashback and the whole thing will still make sense.

I have a couple questions regarding the battle:

1. Why does Serika have to run and climb to the top of a building to take her shot, when it can easily be done had she stayed with the rest of the crew behind Hoshino's shield?
2. The bomb blows away the tanks but our students are safe behind a single shield? At least make them get blown away by the shockwave.

I know I shouldn't take the battle too serious since our girls possess super human abilities, but I can't help myself, knowing Blue Archive is supposed to be a strategy game where Sensei commands the students.

EP 2

So ep 1 was uh....i dunno man.



Anyway yes that was the whole ep
I have to be honest i'm really not a big fan of the whole thing right now. grr. like.
To repeat again the sensei is just whatever I guess

The ed is kinda whatever, seems like they spent all their budget on the op
A bit of a post ed scene, presumably a different squad is gonna show up next time. I dunno man.

So our main 5. I did hear ogura yui in the op (and ed) and in the credits I have seen her name as well. Not sure how or why she's sorta everywhere now but anyway.
So shiroko is ogura yui. Serika is...ohashi ayaka? Ayane is harada sayaka, arona is kohara konomi. Hoshino is actually hanamori yumiri. But it feels kinda eh since I didnt recognize anyone. And I have no idea for nonomi

You should probably rewatch the first episode, they specifically said they do commissions for money to pay off the debt, you just have to read the subtitles man

Well, I meant that the debt is one of the if not the worst things to explain first. 2 ep is out an there wasn't even a hint how the world became like that (not about the races, not about the shit they have above their heads, not even why tf they are constantly fighting) exept the sandstorm, but I wouldn't even call that as a part of worldbuilding here.

Won't waste another 25 minutes of my time on that, but thanks for mentioning that it was actually said in 1st ep. It's just because the first ep was soooo entertaining boring that I unforunately missed that.
