Not least people said this anime was meant to be a fanservice for the player andit doesn't have such a good world building. I could understand it if you only watch a single episode, but for me this anime would be difficult to understand for someone didn't play the game. They wrapped the entire prologue into a minute, that's why this show would leave a lot of question like "what is that halo ring thing above their head?", "why there is a sand all over the city?", "how can they didn't die after getting shot?", etc.
[PROS]
Well, in my opinion the opening has a good animation and well made by it's VA. But to be honest, I prefer if they use the Blue Archive song that released by ClariS -Blue Canvas. Another good point for this anime is the ending, it has nostalgic and '90s vibes, great song, good animation, but honestly I think it's not really fit the show. Next one I'll just say the story, based on the game the story will be heartwarmin, full of comedy, and somehow dark at the same time. So I think we could see a random things will happened in the further episode and I promise it would be hilarious. Honorable mention, I like the character design even though I prefer the in-game illustration but the anime adaptation didn't fail to make me uwogh *sob emoji*
[CONS]
As I said earlier, in the anime adaptation the world building is not well presented and people would think it's a plot hole. Second is the animation, especially the battle animation, I'm expecting more than a clunky and goofy animation. Last but not least, the audio. I'm not a military expert but this anime has a terrible sound effect, especially the gunshot. For some people it shouldn't be a problem but, it feels off and annoying if you heard something doesn't sounds like what it be. For example, Nonomi's M134 Minigum sounds like 600rpm firearm, the smoke grenade drop sound effect sounds like an empty can, shotgun sound's like small caliber arms, etc.
[OVERALL]
World Building : 6/10
Story : 9/10
Character Design : 9/10
OP/ED : 7/10
Animation : 4/10
Audio Visual : 3/10
