 The official Twitter account of Hypergryph's Arknights smartphone game announced a television anime on Sunday. The first season, subtitled Reimei Zensou (Prelude to Dawn), is in production by Yostar Pictures. Game Synopsis Arknights takes place in the dystopian world of Terra, a world similar to Earth, with the exception that many Terrans, or "Ancients," sport animalistic traits and magic-like powers known as Originium Arts. The world of Terra is constantly devastated by Catastrophes, forcing its inhabitants to adopt a nomadic life through nomadic cities. These catastrophes brought with them the pandemic known as Oripathy, a terminal disease caused from exposure to Originium, a crystalline mineral left behind after Catastrophes. However, Originium has uses both as a powerful fuel source and strong construction material. It is also the source of the magic-like abilities of Arts. The game is told from the perspective of Rhodes Island, a paramilitary medical organization, whose mission is to provide treatment to those infected with Oripathy. The organization is led by the "Doctor," who has recently lost their memory after waking from "a long sleep" in the middle of a city-wide catastrophe. The story follows Rhodes Island's conflict with the Reunion Movement, a violent non-state actor whose stated purpose is to create a better life for the Infected—individuals with Oripathy—by punishing those responsible for their plight. (Source: Arknights Fandom Wiki, edited) Hypergryph released the game on both iOS and Android in May 2019. Yostar published the game worldwide the following January, with Longcheng publishing the game in Taiwan last June.

| Can you marry the jpegs in this one ? |
 |
| As a fan of the game I'm quite excited for the anime even thou I dun play the game anymore for a year now. |
 |
| Oh wow, this was unexpected. Couldn’t really get into the game, I always got bored whenever I tried to reinstall it. I know it’s got a HUGE, VERY HUGE amount of story each chapter. Looking forward to this one for sure. Let’s hope the quality will be good. Also from the trail it seems like there will be multiple seasons? I’m guessing split cour. |
| Well, we knew it was going to get one at some point. I hope it’ll look good Blue archive anime when? I want to see Asuna animated |
 |
| Not expecting much, tho still looking forward to it. Skadi best waifu.... |
 |
| ambiguous Doktah in the PV. let's. freaking. go!! If everything goes right, this can easily be top among the currently adapted mobile games out there. Tho first few chapters are pretty good; it's what comes after that is amazing. As the name says, "prelude to dawn". My full trust is in Yostar; they've done amazing so far with past PVs and Holy Knight Light Now that I think of it, I wonder if HG will do the music for AK anime, but anyways. Might also do some rereading before the anime. |

| Many of these Anime based on Smartphone games come out more awesome than the game itself. Most games on phones are boring AF. I'll probably check this out when it comes by. |
 |
| Game adaptation always sucks. |
|ZXEAN said: Game adaptation always sucks. It has something to do with the source being trash. And that's not just game adaptations. |
|
| All of the major gatcha games got their own proper anime. Only Honkai Impact remains. |
 |
| With this. Hoping Blue Archive anime will follow suit in the near future. |
| I didn't like AK's story, but I'll watch this just for my cute war criminal Mephisto <3 |
 |
honkai impact is a Chinese game iirc so better expect doungha for that one also iirc there is a manhua for honkai impact |
| Nice I can see this being pretty good, the story was pretty good if I remember correctly. Guess I’m going to dive back in to Gacha hell and start playing this again. |
  ★・・・・・・★ If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased. ★・・・・・・★ |
| Oh YES Confirmed femdoc Please! 🙏🙏🙏 |
 |
| Oh my god it's finally happening! Glad they chose a somewhat gender-neutral voice for the doctor! I can't wait to see this incredible story getting animated! (Yeah I'm pretty hype if you can't already tell) |
 |
| I just want another ReoNa banger song, plsss |
  |
| Seeing Skadi gets animated is more than enough for me. |
 |
| I've seen Arknights adverts on YouTube or Instagram in the past, it's one of the best game commercials I've ever seen and I used to wish for an anime to be made. And Yes, Finally I knew it was going to be an anime. I can't believe my wish last year has come true I'M SO FUCKIN HYPE!! |
 |
| Where is my bl with ugly bastards? |
| If they follow the story path of the game , it definitely will be dark |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| This brings me unquantifiable happiness. |
| bruh |
| Just seeing this be animated gets me hyped enough to literally play more of the game itself. And yet somehow I hope they do include the Darknights memoire for some in depth story |
 |
Punkuin said: I can't wait for this to turn out amateurish and the accompanying outrage and lambasting that follows. this doesn't seems amateurish for me though they have same people working on the TV anime |
| Genshin impact when? Looking forward to it. Arknights anime because the story of what I think, is good and the waifus are top tier |
 |
| First season? Are they so confident in the anime's success? Also, given the genderless of the protagonist, I hope they don't repeat Azur Lane's problems |
 |

| I hope people don't got mad just because they don't have a boy as the main character. 😂🤭 |
 "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." |
| I kinda like the sound of this one.....It has a dark feel too it too which I love so I'll definitely keep my eye out for this |
| HYPPPPPEEEEEEE!!! Can't believe my favorite gacha ever is finally getting the anime treatment! Also possibly female Dokutah? LET'S GO! I'm hoping it doesn't turn out like the Azur Lane adaptation, but I'm so stoked either way. Came back to the game after nearly a one-year break and I'm loving it once more. The game has so much untapped lore that I'd love to see fleshed out in animation format. |

| I'm so hyped now! As someone who plays the game since the launch of english server and still plays the game, I'm so excited. The lore of the game is so good, hoping that they will adapt the story faithfully. If they will adapt the story, I'd say a 13 episode anime should be enough to adapt chapters 1 to 8 of the game then use the W event/side story as an OVA if the anime adaptation is well received. The first 4 chapters is pretty fine, it's the chapters 5 above and the side stories/events that made the game more interesting. Also, Bagpipe is my best girl! |

OrangeRafi said: See people see the fact that arknights has around 3 volumes of light novel material (this is my guess) and say that they can do it in 13 episodes, not realising that most of this material is dialogue. Dialogue takes time and I can assure you there will not just be dialogue in this anime. I'd say 3 seasons of 12 episodes should be fine to cover up to the end of the reunion arc (first season first 4 chapters, second season next 3 chapters, last season last 2 chapters) which I'm hopeful for since this is "season 1".

That way it will not feel crammed as well and only minimal content will be removed or skipped. I forgot that that they mentioned "season 1" so that maybe an indicative that they will take some time to adapt each chapters. CQLLIST said: Where do I download the game? Really want to try it out :0 It's available to both Apple and Android devices, just go to your device app store and search it there. |
