 The Arknights 2nd Anniversary Livestream event revealed the first key visual (pictured above), cast, and staff for the television anime adaptation—Arknights: Reimei Zensou (Arknights Animation: Prelude to Dawn)—on Sunday. Yuuki Watanabe (Plastic Memories animation director, Kiznaiver ending director) is helming the anime. Masataka Nishikawa who worked with Watanabe on Kiznaiver, Little Witch Academia, and SSSS.Gridman, is serving as the assistant director. Both Watanabe and Nishikawa also worked on Arknights promotional videos and the Holy Knight Light short net anime. Hypergryph, the developers behind the Arknights smartphone game, announced last October that the anime's first season is being produced by Yostar Pictures. The event also revealed that Takashi Matsuyama (Tennis no Ouji-sama, Peace Maker Kurogane) will be voicing the character Ace in the anime.

| Don't tell me that I was right and they really gave the MC a female voice to emphasize their androgyny. |
 |
| Amich'en in the same frame real. |

| Too bad no PV this anniversary stream, but ig just plain old staff announcements are good too. |
| Is it safe to say that this anime will be ecchi? |

| Considering yostars is doing the anime it might actually turn out to be good who knows. |
 |
| Never played Arknights, but I'm looking forward to seeing the anime adaptation for it. |
 |
| Oki but Mephisto voice reveal when? |

It will be a good watch if you haven't played the game/Pacing is right So ecchi = trashy? What I saw among the character designs did not differ much from Azur Lane by the same publisher. |

Well, MC are almost canonically genderless, so I think they could very well have gone that way than making them female. |

| Can't wait for Talulah and FrostNova VA. |
| I don't expect too much on this one story-wise. Adaptions of gacha games are always a mess. Bahamut's first season being the only exception. Well, at least Arknight's anime will probably be a good looking show. Directional debuts of talented young animators are for that reason always worth checking out. |
| I really like how the key visual looks =o |
| I wasn't expecting such a quick adaptation of Arknights into animation, but it looks like the team leading the project is solid and promising. I hope it won't be a disaster like most game adaptations, lol |
| About time. Seeing so many of certain characters in the art makes me dread a possible rushed story though. I hope not. RobertBobert said: What I saw among the character designs did not differ much from Azur Lane by the same publisher. You didn't see much then. Azur Lane is 100% waifu game and very fanservice-y. Arknights, despite not having many males (about 1M:4F ratio), has quite a bunch, and the design are very very tame in comparison to most other games. Probably the tamest anime styled game I have ever seen ever. Like, the most you could find is that like 10 characters (out of 200+) may have gotten a swimsuit skin in the span of two and half years. And the swimsuit themselves are still very innocent and tame. And the plot itself? Serious and not about fanservice at all. |

The main characters are pretty pure by anime standards. |
