| Are there any shows that are similar to Arknights? I've been playing the game quite a lot lately and I really like the setting (and definitely nothing else in particular ๐) But jokes aside, I would love to check out something that resembles this game in any form. The story doesn't have to be the same of course. |
| I don't know Arknights; what is the setting like? |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
GlennMagusHarvey said: I don't know Arknights; what is the setting like? How do I put this... It's somewhat post-apocalyptic but there is still life in big cities and the technology is very advanced. Also there is a big gap between two kinds of society. I guess you could describe it as dramatic and it gives off a somewhat desolate feeling. |
| Hmm, I'm not sure I have the greatest of recs... Guilty Crown is somewhat post-apocalyptic, and definitely has political strife (some of the main characters are a rebel militia, basically), and it's set in a city that's definitely still populated, and it involves advanced tech. Black Bullet has a high-tech urban setting but also some dystopian elements including social problems like discrimination, though those aren't the focus (the focus is on action). Arpeggio of Blue Steel is sorta post-apocalyptic in that humans are landlocked because the seas are controlled by another entity. The aesthetic is also relatively dark, consistent with that feel. Advanced tech is involved. There isn't much conflict between humans though, nor is there much portrayal of big cities. Asterisk War does have a setting where there's a big social gap, though that's not the focus of the show and it doesn't really become noticeable until you start to get into the second season. Definitely not post-apocalyptic though. Fractale has advanced technology but humans no longer understand how it works, and also people live in small villages or on their own I think. Planetarian is post-apocalyptic but the big city is in ruins and there are few people around. Coppelion is about rescue missions into a city that's been ruined by a nuclear disaster, and includes elements of social strife, but is much more focused on the post-apocalyptic aesthetic. edit: added Arpeggio |

Guilty Crown is already in my plan-to-watch list. Your recommendations seem pretty good. Of course not every aspect has to be like what I described. Thank you so much! |
