| It's a "testing ground" It may or may not get a second season. Since most game anime tends to be "promos" for the game. It depends on how the sales of the anime is after season 1 end. If it's the same as Azur Lane, it probably wouldn't get a second season. (both Azur Lane anime (by different studios) sorta failed and had mediocre reviews) The world of Arknight has a darker tone, and the anime seems to have a more refined art. (darker anime tends to sell better than comedic anime) Other thing is the anime is going with nearly 1-1 of the game's plotline. Just with a rushed sequence of events plus a few more details that shows more of the doctor. Due to the way it's being rushed, some ppls without prior game knowledge is having a difficult time in understanding some things due to the way it's being animated, the style makes it so it feels like as you feel, a movie (of prequel/ sequel), where each episodes doesn't always fully connect to the previous episode's end. (basically feels like the anime is doing mini-time skips in each episode) |

| I'm enjoying Act 2 so far(I'm still at chapter 7) so I'd love to see them animated. |
DarkHomieC said: Azur lane’s 1st animation was a mixed bag mainly because the game didn’t have a story to follow at the time, so it was throw stuff together. And the Azur lane Slow Ahead adaptation actually did well, even though it’s short panels. Azur lane is having a 3rd series be animated which is Queens Order; if Azur Lane had a reanimate with the actual story and lore being followed, it would do really good. Yostar has 3 projects they can choose from: Azur Lane, Arknights, or Blue Archive. The could animate some more of Arknights story or they might try to animate some of Blue Archive’s story (it’s only been out for 1.5 years) The 4-koma style is better cause it was done by Yostar animations instead of a 3rd party studio. However it isn't counted as a "full anime" cause it's a comedic anime instead of a anime with an actual story. And I know of Queens Order. But both Slow Ahead and Queens Order still don't count as "2nd/ 3rd season" since they're all individual plots and style from each other to the 1st Azur Lane anime. (which I haven't heard of any news on having an actual season 2 for the first anime, cause it probably will never have) People here is thinking of an actual second season that follows the current first season. And not an entirely different set of plot that's not from the main story. (aka "fillers") |

| Yeah why not, the story of Arknights really takes off from Chapter 5 onwards with it's lore and world building so I would love those chapters animated. |
 |
| I love the anime so far even without having played the game and would be great if it continues, not that unlikely since yostar themselves work on it. |
| I don't play the game, specifically not anymore. I barely completed tutorial stages. But as an anime-only watcher, I'd watch if this gets a second season. |

| I hope so. Simply so we can stop getting people complaining it is only 8 episodes. If it gets more seasons after this peoples "complaints" it is to short and I am confused might actually go away. |

ByTaste27 said: Weirdly enough, i just want they made a re-adaptation in movie form. Some of the aesthetic is spot on but do not hit just because it got cuts between episodes. Maybe adding a few more scene that building up around the situation in the first 3 episode and so on. After that, second season. Quite a few anime actually do that, to generate sales through movie tickets, LOL. An exception is Demon Slayer... that somehow had the movie first, then turn that movie into an entire Arc... (I am only referring anime that's already in-mid of on-going/airing movie to arc or arc to movie, not OG movie adopted into OG series) Calal-Chan said: I hope so. Simply so we can stop getting people complaining it is only 8 episodes. If it gets more seasons after this peoples "complaints" it is to short and I am confused might actually go away. The confused part ppls are talking about is the series being semi-rushed and it doesn't explain that much, so ppls without game knowledge gets confused. Having a second season won't do this any good if it's also semi-rushed, and they won't go back and explain things from the beginning. Since the series is nearly 1-1 of game plot, game plot doesn't do a U turn and re-explain things. And the reason why I call this a "testing ground" since it's 8 episodes and not a full 12-13 episode. cause they're not sure how well Arknights series would perform. Cause Yostar actually tried to go hardcore on the first Azur Lane series (the one with an story) and failed hardcore instead. So this time they try to have a much more refined art but with a shortened episode count (possibly also to move budget from episode counts into quality production, cause less episodes means artists have more time to refine the art) |

Surprising honestly as they did QQ s2 quite good, wonder what happened. |

| Only if it's successful enough to warrant more production time and/or a higher budget. The art style and scenery really shine through at times, but given how restrained the animation tends to feel at times it's pretty clear that they're working with limited resources. I've also been underwhelmed by Yuki Hayashi's contributions so far, though really that comes down to the show being way slower and quieter than I was anticipating. That aside, I really hope that they take more creative liberties should a second season get greenlit. The adaptation is at its worst when it tries to include exposition, but it's at its second worst when it stays too close to the source material. Having just reread through Chapters 3 & 4 I can say with confidence that they're quite poorly written, and I'm not expecting the trend to improve until around Chapters 6 & 7. YP needs to go all out in revising the script, otherwise it'll be the same confusing, overwrought slog found in-game. |

In fact, I'd pin the blame on Jin Haganeya for a poorly written story and Bibury Animation for inconsistent animation quality. I also have to wonder if having a big production committee was a mistake, because the pie seems smaller this time around. |

The reason Yostar started their own Animation Studio is literally cause first Azur Lane anime failed and they decide to take it to themselves to direct their own anime. Yostar literally announced their own Animation Studio like a month after the first Azur Lane finished airing. And Arknight is also being done by Yostar Studios, and they seem to be doing a fairly good job with the art and story. However issue as stated is they're sorta rushing the story, especially since they only have 8 episodes instead of a full 13 episode schedule. Which causes people without game knowledge having to also "rush" to figure out what the anime's trying to show them. From how the story's pace is going, I think it'll cover most of the ACT 0 and maybe half or more of ACT 1 of the game. Since they already introduced Misha and Ch'en. ___ ___ ___ This means leaving rest of ACT 1 and ACT 2 as rest of content, which should be more than enough material to make a season 2 or even season 3 if the season 1 anime does well. (ACT 2 was just recently released, so there's a lot more content to come) |

| I definitely would if they improved the animation and added more fights scenes. This season has been nothing but setup and the recent time we saw action, it wasn’t well animated. I won’t be interested in another season if the action isn’t animated well. |
| After watching 7 episodes, I wish I could forget this abomination even existed, coming from an arknights fan. This is one of the worst game adaptations I've seen. This could have been a great anime, if they had built upon the game's story, filling gaps, organizing and merging the event stories, side stories, character lore etc (ofcourse this is just my wishful thinking considering how game animes usually come out). But instead they butchered so much content in this adaptation like maybe half of the game's cutscenes/dialogues, that most scenes just look forced, some out of place even. I don't think non-gamers will even feel a continuity or get the overall picture. The Doctor character is another epic fail imo, in the game he's the player (us) and he has little to no interaction in cutscenes but since we are playing through him there is that immersion and being part of the story, if you get my point. In the anime they decided to just put him as is in the game, essentially a dead doll in the background in literally all scenes; he should have been given more lines to show his role in story, his commanding ability, strategies. What was the writers even thinking. Also they made him into a scrawny teen, he should be older imo, he was a father figure for Amiya before his stasis and memory loss. Another thing I hated were these game elements like "mission start" and other minor details which was adapted into the anime for some reason when they had butchered numerous story content. (Sorry, but I needed some place to vent this after the major disappointment) So yea I'd rather this not have a second season, unless they put in some real effort. Few things I liked in the anime was rhodes island and other visuals that are absent in the game, and madam chen gave a better impression in the anime |

Few things I liked in the anime was rhodes island and other visuals that are absent in the game, and madam chen gave a better impression in the anime You are such an Arknights fan that you don't even know that the doctor lost his voice and powers after he was cloned, so that already says how much you know the plot and how you can judge the cut content. I'm not that far ahead in the story, you could say I'm only 1-2 chapters ahead of the animated portion, being a fan doesn't mean you're a day one veteran lol I've played for only 3-4 months. And I never mentioned his voice nor powers did I ?, just his role in the anime as a background decoration and the bad way they adapted the 'player' into an anime character. Also why do you think I cannot judge cut content ? Anyone who played the game can attest to that. (even if you just scroll above, others agree that it's rushed) For example, Misha getting to trust Amiya is a longer sequence in the game, more natural but the anime rushed it; Chernobog ending sequence was badly done, atleast in the game it's more emotional; Almost all clashes are badly done, like in 1 moment Amiya and gang are talking, the next moment enemies just appear out of nowhere right beside them, stuff like this are okay in the game but an anime should make some effort in the transition. I should stop tbh, I'm being too negative, I just expected a bit too much from the initial announcement of the anime. I did say I was venting. Peace |
| I'd appreciate a 2nd season. But how loyal will it continue to be to the source material. |

| personally no. Too many chinese gachas are cannibalizing the anime industry. Playing an ip gacha is like being a punching bag now. People shouldn't complain about azur lane and arknights mal rating when they are like in the top 10 grossing gachas. |

Like personally for me it doesn't matter where a story comes from aslong as it's a good story. Light Novel adaptations dominate the isekai genre, but you don't see people advocating for the discontinuation of their animes personally no. Too many chinese gachas are cannibalizing the anime industry. Playing an ip gacha is like being a punching bag now. People shouldn't complain about azur lane and arknights mal rating when they are like in the top 10 grossing gachas. https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/qx7acc/unpopular_opinion_genshin_impact_storytelling_is/ This post has nearly 5k karma. Most light novel animes are not profitable at all. They often get 1-2 cours and they get shoved in the corner for something new. Their sales are often low, and they are largely just made to put the novel into public light. Japan has a ton of light novels that get released every year. Those that go beyond 2 cours usually have reached franchise level. Even they have their gachas struggling. the profitability of azur lane, arknights, genshin, honkai is far far more profitable than even some of the shonen gachas. It is certainly impacting the profitability of anime ip gachas ,since it effectively hate the market share of whales. You cannot just have one person whaling like 5k on every single gacha |
| I mostly just want to forget i watched it. Not that i went in with any expectations. Should pay more attention to "source", so i don't run into crappy game adaptations. |
| Anyone know how is the bluray sales? |
