| As someone who skipped the majority of the story late game, I've really been looking forward to this adaption. As far as first episodes go I would say that this one is not a disappointment. The animation seems to be of decent enough quality. Of course there is good music and va's. That's what you would expect from arknights. Hoping that this quality is consistent throughout, and if it is I expect this adaption to be a good one. |
 |
| I was waiting and excited for this until I found out it was only 8 episodes so I'm assuming this will just be rushed. |
 |
| Excellent first episode. Looking forward to the OP/ED next week. |
| Simply gorgeous. Even NPCs doesn’t sound so generic. |

| Não conheço o jogo mas o 1º ep. foi bem interessante, acredito que vai ser bom. |
| Trying my best with english d-_-b |
| That was pretty good. Even though this first episode doesn't need to bank on over the top animation, it manages so well to set up the ambiance for a disorienting and postapocalyptic setting in narrow and almost claustrophobic corridors and great use of tense music for improved immersion. Does this first episode has tons of exposition? It sure does, but it feels like a necesary evil, specially since it's only going to be a total of 8 episodes rather than the average 12 most seasonal shows get. |
| Do push up everytime amiya say doctor, tmmrw u will be gigachad Despite playing arknight, i dont remember single thing from first chapter but how they bring the vibe is really top notch, cant wait to see next week episode |
| Finally Amiya, and soon my other favorite Operators and Talulah get animated. Glad they gave the Doctor a voice and didn't chose to have a quiete Doctor. Can't wait for Talulah. |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| you know, im actually not disappointed lol |

| Maybe just a bit slow, but it explained the premise of Arknights, and we had a little taste of how the action will be handled. I'm extremely hyped for the rest (lets pray it's not another gacha adaptation fiasco). PD: add Phos#0576 if you want. |
 |
| I didn't even know it was based on a game (my friend just told me after I finished watching it; he has played the game). Even though some aspects were somewhat confusing, I though it was a very decent first episode. Looking forward to the next one. |
| The anime really did not disappoint me , the animation was really good |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| OMG Rabbitfolk, catgirls and there's a lot! <3 Really loves the episode overall and how they managed to rescue the doctor as well as the doctor taking control of the situation to save 2 innocent people from oppressing forces. Feels like some kind of an apocalyptic setting or something in that direction. Really enjoying this so far even tough I have never played the game. |
 |
| A perfect introduction. The animation is very consistent and beautiful, looks just like the video animations of the game. Unfortunately they will only adapt 8 episodes, which should be the first chapter apparently, so no Kalt'sit, sadge. The doktah looks awesome. Very solid start, a 9/10 in my opinion. |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| Arknights is one of, if not, my favorite mobile game so I'm glad they adapted it into an anime. Still, I didn't have high hopes for this one since it's adapting the chapters which are considered the worst story and pacing wise in the game. But first episode set the story rolling pretty well. Better than what the VN format of storytelling did in the game. |

| Is Doctor gender-neutral? I couldn't focus on 1 ep. becouse this mystery distracted me x.x |
 |
| Not bad. Was hoping for banger OP and ED music but was disappointed on their choice of not letting us hear it. I hope they add the OP and ED on the next episode or else I'd forever label them a failure of a music company. |

| Okay.. this was a far far far better episode than I was hoping for.. The visuals, the music , the character design everything was BEAUTIFUL for anyone wondering This is NOT THE ED, its just a promotional ED for the anime and the 3.5 Anniversary Livestream.. People who haven't played the game CAN watch this ED. I AM SO HYPED for the next few episode.. |
| El mensaje que nos transmiten este anime. La discriminación hacia las tropas porque la madre que quería proteger de su hija estaban alejando de las tropas buenas porque como ella dice que las tropas estaban infectadas. Una infección digamos que no es enfermedad pero que la madre pensó porque bueno todo por manipulación del gobierno ya sabéis que existen el poder y que con el poder utiliza esa herramienta para controlar a la sociedad y decir x mentiras o x cosas y eso se llama miedo. Y llegando al último punto de pensamiento y es que me gusta como juega y como nos transmiten el mensaje ya que el miedo y la discriminación es lo que cuenta en ese anime. Bueno fin del hilo espero que os guste podéis comentar que os ha parecido si os ha parecido algo valioso.  |
| Super interesting that 90% of people praising this have 1 post to their name. It was fucking dogshit and I would have rather watched paint dry. |
Demon_lord106 said: Secret333 said: Yes, it's adapting the beginning of the game. So even if you go play the game, you'll see the same story but longer. I see, so theres no prob without me playin the game and watching it btw is it interesting story? Its a very good story, one the main reasons I played the tower defense gameplay is good too. Mostly I glad it following the story.. at all looking at you Shadowverse(sorry still upset about that). If you have a good story, why not use it. |

| This was quite good big fan of the game but my main issue with the game is how dense and bloated the dialogue is so as much as i want to read a lot of the story because its really good and the later events are quite interesting it's just sooo long and one of my big worries for the anime is how they were gonna pace the writing and world building /info dump because my god is there a lot of worldbuilding in arknights , verdict for now is they did good on it also glad they went a more non lethal route because since the game is a tower defense you are "killing" 100s of dudes so that could've been rough to see in anime form but they did it tastefully while still keeping the tone very serious and heavy with death still something happening fans will know this isn't the highlight of the writing of the IP since the early chapters aren't that good but it kicks in later on .we can only hope this does really well so that they adapt more chapters we can't have another GFL or GBF where the early story isn't great and the adaptation doesn't help enhance that |
