| finally, the day we've all been waiting for! amazing first episode, w/solid animation all around. it seems to have adapted the first few stages of Chapter 0 from the game including prologue, which is nice. hope they keep a consistent schedule throughout the 8 eps. Pretty satisfied with how they adapted the game's gameplay to anime form. doctor really be conducting the battles via a phone lol Silent we shall be, should conflict be avoidable - but fight tooth and nail, should it be necessary!  Anime definitely gonna be overlooking the weakest part of AK's story; however, i think it's still gonna be quite fun. looking forward to the next episode!! |
| Quite good, honestly. I didn't know what to expect, from someone who has played the game, but don't quite remember earlier chapters, it's a refreshner |
 |
| I haven't played the game for a long time, but the first episode was boring. But I will continue to watch for animal girls |
  |
| Drinking game Everytime Amiya says the word 'Doctor', you have to drink. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I enjoyed it, it's interesting how they adapt the 'gameplay' in the anime. As expected, it has many info dumping, but you can clearly see the tense atmosphere of Arknights world in this episode. |
| As one would expect, pretty slow and info heavy like the game. Though I am happy to see these characters move in TV format. I can excuse the slow start. Seems to be a faithful adaptation, and from I remember the beginning of the game’s story was sort of weak comparatively to what comes much after it. I imagine we’ll get multiple seasons of this I hope. But they can definitely get the beginning chapters out of the way in 8 episodes. Looking forward to next week, and hopefully we get that OP and ED |
| 2D > 3D |
| Doc..doc..Dokutah! This had the treatment that Girls Frontline could get if another season happen. Chernoborg description sound like a cover-up, the city even have what looks like the Chernobyl dome in the middle. This was more dark and distressing than I thought it would be. Killing kemonomimi girls is a horrible crime. |
 |
| Really good pacing and great directing high hopes for this adaptation. |
 |
| We only got the context of the episode at the end but the disease thing and rebellion army aspect look interesting but otherwise it was mainly boring due to how confusing it was without the context (except thanks to the synopsis from the website)... Well that's a game adaptation so what to expect, it doesn't seem to be welcoming to newcomers actually |
 |
| This is pretty good. It very much felt like I was a watching a movie. |
| Yostar finally making their full-length TV debut and what a phenomenal result. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect with so much subtlety present not only in the character acting but also in the sound design utilizing the ambience to the full potential. Yuki Hayashi's soundtrack here is also different from that of his more popular works but this is the type I like from him. In terms of the storytelling, a big part of it was info dumps using the "amnesia" of the doctor but I'm definitely impressed and intrigued enough to continue. |
| Wow, i can't believe it's actually finally here. An arknights anime series, that's wild. I played the game back orelease for a little bit and I enjoyed it for what it had to offer, and so when I heard they were making an anime of it, I got interested. The episode was okay. It's only the first episode so I can't expect much yet but overall it felt a bit slow. I'm sure they will pick up the pace after this first episode though. EDIT: oh and i forgot to mention, i really liked the way the whole episode looked. had pretty nice color choice and the whole vibe of it is pretty cool. |

| i dont even have high expect about animation but wow, the animation is good and some bgm too but too much talking, if it normal ppl watch it will feeling bored, but if someone can even watch something like Godzilla Singular Point then maybe can watch something like this too but still too many info even as an player like me still feel some what dry watch the anime even just first ep already make me remember what doctor can do and about lore....it scary..... |
| Donùt know much about it, but I'm really fond of the artstyle. So crispy. |

Idk if I'm tripping but I think this was a nice reference to the "giant eye in the sky" shown in-game even though that looks like lights in the bg of anime  |
| Being hyped since that CN 2.5 livestream, and we are finally here. and OH MY GOD I'm so happy!! I can't speak for new people and there experience, but for me this was as perfect as this start could be. the main characters was introduced in a reasonable pace, and the lore dumps about renunion, oripathy and PRTS felt a little bit like exposition, but it was fine by me. I'm curious on what people who haven't played the game think about that, as in would they be able to grasp all that. |

| Honestly, production was (surprisingly) good. Confused why they 2d'd everything including background reunion mobs and garbage in the water lmao... Animation good. Music great. The colors, camera, music, overall everything audio-visual felt pretty intentional. no op or ed first ep was surprising. and kinda nice the anime is 21:9. The story and pacing though... Strongly put, not very interesting. First 2 mins was almost completely unnecessary - All that info is repeated again later on in the ep. Most of the first ep is info-dumping, which isn't always a problem given how intentional the scenes feel. But when you're info dumping AND you're stuck with the exact same under-Amiya pov shot for 5% of the whole-ass ep... as the 2nd scene, kinda turn-off. Conversations seem to happen for the sake of dumping info or building chars. Two higher-ups in a squadron arguing in the middle of an open area in enemy territory about what to do... The dialogue feels more about presenting char traits then making any sense. Unless Amiya has been leader for 30s, should be common sense she'd be risking everyone's lives by chasing two civilians to the enemy. Doberman also needing to explain this heatedly to "leader" in enemy territory is also questionable at best. Mother instantly becoming hostile/aggressive waking up after being saved from certain death? Obviously trying to show the discrimination against oripathy, but it just feels hella awkward given how meek she was seconds ago. Then some mechanically questionable, weird, game-to-anime adaptation issues like why the hell were they carrying around scouting-drones until doctor logins to his phone? Use the damn things, your lives are at stake... -- Only time the dr had any lines that weren't info-dumps were "phase one, two, three four". Definitely a safer adaptation of the source, but kinda wish they could have gone ham with the doctor's char or gathered up the writers to completely flesh out the doc. Rather than mysterious, doctor mostly suffers from the same issue most game adaptation mcs have of being a tag-along protag. Slightly concerning for future eps. Since the doctor has no established personality yet, there'll never be any meaningful conversations with the mc (unless a personality is developed). Only more info-dumping and explanations. All in all like a 7-8/10 and definitely better so far than most game adaptations, but really felt more like an ep 0, than an ep 1. Most of the info presented would have come up again later on throughout the story or become apparent to the viewer naturally. Hopefully there's more showing and less telling in future eps. |

| Wow. Honestly it's a dream come true watching this. Been playing the game for a little more than 2 years now, and seeing this is incredible. 2 years in the works, and I can see it. The animation, the soundtrack, the voice acting, wow. The love put in this anime is real. Honestly I had some doubts but they pulled through and truly put well the world building, complexity, and strategies the game could never do. I'm excited for the next ep. |

| Drink each time she says "DOCTA". the furry ears are just a fetish choice. |
