As expected Yostar would be animating with the help of Candy Pictures. Shiroko and Arona’s character design look really good, very excited

The only thing I’m worried about is how their gonna do Sensei’s design.

Oh by Yostar? Sweeet. 

I’ve been interested ever since I listened to “Target for love”.

My wild guess is that they will 1) not be showing the Sensei and 2) choose a Main character (here Shiroko).
Just like we never saw the Admiral in Azur Lane and Kancolle and picked a main character(s) in both animes.
I'm not expert in "Gacha game turned anime" so those are the only example I have.

Arona could also be the link between the Sensei and the rest of the cast.

Kancolle newest season with the Shigure being the MC you do end up seeing the admiral.

Sensei in Blue Archive is to much of an MC, for him to not be apart of the animation wouldn’t make sense since he’s apart of every event that happens and communicates with students.

Arona being the mediator wouldn’t make sense, because most of the characters don’t actually know about her (as of Chapter 1 of the Final in global).

Both Arona and Shiroko's anime design's are great! Especially Arona's... she's very cute and funny as always. They really nailed their designs and I can't wait to see the rest of the cast.

Sensei's design or whether they show up or not depends on what the anime is about. I haven't researched much about it but if it's not an adaptation of the main game's story but an original one then they don't need to show up. It could be like the last 2 OVAs and it would be just fine but if it's an adaptation... then a lot of scenes won't work without Sensei being present.

Though what kind of design they would go with if they do end up showing up makes me curious as well... would they look like a normal human male since they are heavily implied to be one? Or Arona's doodle (I'll take a cameo lol)? Or manga Sensei? Or would they go out of their way and surprise us with a completely androgynous design? I can't wait!

Agreed, I was very surprised after finishing that chapter to learn that not many people know about the Shittem Chest and I thought it would've been common knowledge given how much time Sensei spends with the students. So if Arona ends up being a mediator then it's going to be interesting seeing what kind of story they come up with.

Hopefully they'll take Arknights's approach of the playable character. Sensei is just too important of character to be not present in the story (unless they decided to make a completely original story)

I hope they will use the manga design, because I think that's really good. Though seeing the "usual" design for him (with the Arona doodle taped to his face) would be kind of funny. Don't think people not part of the BA community would appreciate it as much though.

Pretty much, that Sensei is pretty well-designed and doodle Sensei could easily be inserted into goofier parts.
