Pretty decent and cute start. Let's see how the story will develop from here.

I'm honestly a bit surprised they started the episode showing off Shiroko Terror "killing" Sensei instead of keeping it vague of who she is, wondering how good of a choice that is for people who haven't played the gacha but probably has no real impact. (Though the surprise I had when they showed her sure made me go "HUH?")

The mobs shooting each other, taking bullets, makes it feel like they're just tanky as hell and no one in their universe goes down that easily (other than I guess actual humans).

Shiroko really already showing a lot of affection/attachment in the first episode, even taking lessons on her own with him.

I was curious on how they would use Sensei in regards to their role in battle, seems like they're doing exactly what I thought and being a commander.

Shiroko just UNLOADING on the final mob, absolutely brutal, also super strong goggles/glasses, being able to take all those bullets.

The ED is very nice and cute, gives us a preview of so many other characters and the potential of the animation.
The part C to the anime, Sensei somehow appearing in the world that Arona is in?

@KokonaCunny420

Finished episode when did the panty shot of shiroko happen?

Might have missed it.

All in all great episode really enjoyed it.

That was a great first episode!

Originally I was indifferent to Sensei's anime design but after seeing him animated... his design and voice is perfect.


edit: obligatory Arona !!! Hoshino !!! 😭😭😭

IT'S HERE. I got into gacha games not too long ago, and I've seen Blue Archive everywhere, so there was no way I won't watch this. A part of me wants to start playing it, but I already play Uma Musume, so starting it will absolutely murder my free time. Maybe someday... I really wish there was two of me now.

Oh wow, that beginning O_O. This might be more serious than I thought.
I've seen these halos e v e r y w h e r e. I wonder what they are.
Sunaookami means "sand wolf"

Very pretty OP.
Cool first episode, but I really need some lore and explanations.

I am following this show out of curiosity how it beat FGO in terms of storytelling. I am yet to see why.
but it is too early to judge it soon. I'll give it the three episode rule or maybe six.

Anime adaptations from games are usually bad though especially to people who never played them.



But to be honest, the first few singularities or even the entire arc 1 in FGO sucked, that is probably how it lost.

@CrystaLyse Actually story of BA also only really gets good on late arcs too....(we might not see the best arc on current season...)


for what I remember FGO story only really gets better from 6th and later singularities(+ lostbelts) and BA story gets really good from 3rd arc(Eden treaty) and later arcs

I could make a very old joke about guns and schools, but no.

So the halos just appear when they are awake.

I hope to see Red Winter in the future, or Cherino, to be precise, even in the background.

@CrystaLyse

Neither three episode rule nor six will work because the story that is adapted as anime now is the Vol 1 of the game, which is arguably not the best part of the story. The parts you've heard such high praise are highly likely Vol 3 and Vol F, which I won't go as far to say they beat FGO in storytelling but they ARE indeed really good. The current Vol 1 that's adapted as anime will be just character/world introduction and some chill slice-of-life parts at the start that will get a bit serious near the end. And I doubt this season will get more than 12 episodes so they prolly won't have freedom to adapt more Vols either. So just keep your expectations low if you're expecting a story that 'beat' FGO.

Geez, that's why I wanted them to adapt straight up Vol 3 for anime. Each Vol has little to no connection until Vol F so if they want to adapt Vol 3, they can do it. They prolly chose Vol 1 to adapt as anime cuz the cast in it are the face of the game. But by adapting Vol 1, I KNEW there'll be anime-onlys like you who'll come here with wrong expectation. I dunno how many more people I need to inform this by repeating the same stuff smh. Please do me a favor by spreading this info if you see more anime-onlys like you.

This is so fucking stupid. The one single thing even remotely close to being interesting are the background characters, maybe the animation (even though they recycle shots). Everything else sucks.

The day has finally come, and I loved it, from the worldbuilding, the gunfight action scenes, the personality of the characters and also the music. They really cooked, looking forward to see the Problem Solver 68 girls and Hifumi.

I really liked basically everything, but the only thing that bothers me a bit is that the soundtrack didn't really feel "Blue Archive". It's not that they're bad, though they strike me as being bit generic and too slice-of-life-ish. I hope they bring more of the electronic aspect as the anime progresses.
Aside from that, the animation is good and that (which I assume will be the) OP is beautiful. I'm anxious for the next episode.
