| I have no knowledge about the game at all, outside of seeing the characters pop up in some fan arts on twitter. Will this anime be enjoyable for me without having any sort of attachment to the characters? I saw some clips of this anime on social media and the animation, direction and music didn't seem amazing, just good enough. I have tried other gacha game anime adaptations in the past and a large majority of them felt like it was made for the fans alone. It felt like I was expected to like the characters beforehand because they were not interesting at all in the show. How is this anime in that regards? Can someone watching this anime who has never played the game tell their thoughts? |

| My biggest gripe is they didn't adapt the prologue, which provides important knowledge about the world. Outside of that, it's a pretty faithful adaptation, and should be enjoyable even by people who haven't played the game. |
| Yeah you can go ahead. But I'd suggest watching the prologue on youtube. Gives you some worldbuilding ideas especially about GSC and Schale which they skipped in the anime. Without it, I think newcomers would be lacking context. |
| Just watch it, it is a fun watch for which you can turn off your brain.The plotholes gonna confuse you though. Also CGI trucks be damn ugly. |

| @LotteWeiss Eh... my wording was inconsistent. All in all, faithful adaptation but messy at times. Have a good day. |

| In my opinion, no. I've been playing this game for more than a year now. I think this anime is less enjoyable from an outsider perspective. |

@Doctor_Freeman not to diss the game, but im wondering why a japanese company would animate a korean game? did nexon pay this?
theres no fking way they will do this voluntarily.

| @nonsenseone1 Why would they not? To start with, the Japanese version of Blue Archive is the original version. The Korean version didn't come out until 6 months later. |
| no, this anime is definitely not for people who haven't played the game, if you are looking for a standalone work that will introduce you to this world, you will be disappointed. |
| Definitely not. It's the same with a lot of game adapted anime, it throws you into the deep end with little context on how things work, what's going on, structurally odd, etc I would think that they would want to at least try and bring a lot more new fans to try out the game as a result of the anime, but it always seems to be more made for the fans instead. Or are they intentionally making the anime as garbled as possible, so if you want better understanding or knowledge, if you get that slight itch to know more, you try out the game? Dunno, it'll never work on me that's for sure. |

| Let's just say that with Blue Archive, unlike many other gacha games, even some story events are actually relevant to the plot and the main plot actually references later some of those events. I assume they will most likely only adapt the main story and if anything later on, some of the story events with OVAs. So yeah, if you don't play the game you'll be missing a lot of context. Anime after all is just fanservice for the fans and to promote more a work that is already popular. |
| No. It's very obvious that this is for fans of the game. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| certainly not. I probably would have appreciated more things about this if I played the game. |

it's universal. it's not a problem if you're not played the game. overall the anime is similar to the story from the game. so it doesn't matter
| @Pokipoky if you say so then i would love to watch this till end.. I unable to install the game since last year, in the end, waiting for the anime. |
