Blue Archive é descente e consegue ser divertido, mas deixa a sensação de que o anime terminou justamente antes de a história realmente começar a ficar mais interessante.
Por causa do anime, eu testei o game e gostei, mas alguns aspectos da gameplay não foram bem traduzidos na animação O Sensei, por exemplo, ficou meio estranho. No jogo, ele tem uma posição de comandante e participa diretamente das situações, mas no anime parece que ele é quase um treinador Pokémon dando instruções para as personagens. A função dele na história poderia ter sido melhor trabalhada, mas é meio engraçado.
Isso também leva a outro ponto: algumas coisas simplesmente não fazem tanto sentido para quem não conhece o jogo. Como cheguei sem saber nada eu acabei me perguntando por que determinadas situações acontec…

Hmm I was really excited to watch this, but the quality of the show feels a bit low and I think anyone who hasn't played the game is better off skipping it entirely since you won't understand anything and stuff will look even more silly, since it literally copies word by word the story as it happens in the game.
So this is more something to watch for the fans, to either relive the original story and with the addition of episode 11 and 12 also see some other characters.
So even though I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite characters like Hina, Yuuka and Hoshino, I think I would've preferred maybe a movie instead or something original or more interesting like what happens in some of the other parts of the story in the game (without spoiling anything).
It just felt very cookie cutter, also…

This anime was made with the only objective of bringing people to play their game. This anime is very shallow, uninteresting protagonists, the "sensei" doesn't seem like a huge help, he's only there to make a plan in the last second and leave others to execute it, the story was very rushed and didn't had enough time to create a connection with the audience, I didn't care at all if the protagonists were losing.
But there were some good things, its obvious the character design was good, some of them had pretty iconic looks. And by far the best thing about this show was Problem Solver 68, they had a much better chemistry and motivation than the main cast. They had real problems and very diverse personalities, making them shine brighter than any other group.
Like I said before, this anime ha…

This is a visually stunning adaptation that successfully captures much of what fans love about the game. However, it does have its shortcomings in storytelling clarity and character depth. As a fan, I enjoyed watching it for its aesthetic appeal and familiar characters, but I do hope that future adaptations take these critiques into account to provide a more cohesive and engaging experience for all viewers. As someone who has followed both the mobile game "Blue Archive" and its recent anime adaptation, I found the review to be a thoughtful and balanced assessment of the series. I wholeheartedly agree with the praise for the animation quality. The vibrant colors and fluid movements truly capture the essence of the game, making it visually appealing. The character designs are spot-on, and it…

For a show based on a Gacha game, and assumedly only made as an advertisement, the show is overall “good.” As someone who played through the game’s story until about halfway through the shows story, it would be fair to say they made it a lot more engaging than the original. However, the somewhat Janky fight & action scenes, as well as horrible default subtitles, take away from what is a very pretty anime with an interesting world and fun & cute characters. If you’re going to watch it, use fan subtitles.
For viewers who haven’t played the game, there will be a lack of context for certain organizations and world building that would help explain character motivations and relationships. This is primarily due to the production decision to skip animating the game’s prologue. Though the missing…

Gacha adaptations… Gacha adaptations… Goddamn Gacha adaptations… Where do I begin with this one? Gacha adaptations are the most infamous adaptations in the industry. They’re the type of shows that clearly have no idea how to set up their stories. Either they tried too hard to connect with their source materials or they’re just lazy promotions for said materials. Blue Archive is clearly a victim of this. This sparks a lot of red flags regarding how it promotes the game itself that you might really consider thinking if the anime even tried or if you just want to play the game instead. Quite the series we have here, huh? But tell me, the OPs and EDs are promising so you may think this show would at least be a tolerable one, don’t you- Absolutely not, and I would guarantee to tell why this ser…

Blue Archive the Animation is more of an anime project for fans of the game than a stand alone adaption. This is mostly due to a lack of world building and sometimes poor story. You should give it a try if you play the game or have had any prior exposure to Blue Archive.
There is very little world building so anime only watchers will be left with lots of questions. Core concepts (like why they have halos, why are they immune to bullets, and where are all the humans) are completely ignored. Plot points, characters, and other content from the game is mentioned, but never expanded upon. For fans of the game it's fun to see content adapted, but anime only fans will be left with a hollow experience.
The plot is decent, but the story was poor in some parts. Several times enemies were introduce…

**Review of "Blue Archive: The Animation"**
*Blue Archive: The Animation* brings the beloved mobile game to life, capturing the essence of its vibrant world, memorable characters, and compelling narrative. The show manages to strike a balance between action, humor, and heartwarming moments, making it a delightful watch for both fans of the game and newcomers alike.
**Visuals and Animation:** The animation quality is commendable, with vibrant colors and fluid character movements that stay true to the game's aesthetic. The character designs are faithfully recreated, retaining their charm and distinct personalities. The action sequences are well-executed, blending dynamic choreography with eye-catching special effects.
**Storyline:** The plot follows the main storyline of the game, focusin…

As always, any anime-game gatcha, have to work as a promotion to the game, but this fail... Nothing more or least, actually the first and second chapters of the game are also boring. Also, the concept 'cute girls doing cute things', is this time weird, bro is a world where is more common to see someone naked, than without their weapon, and you do this! That's another factor, bro, they have weapons it's about shoot, but the fight became melee... Also, they forget any game system... for me, it's a waste, the game is fantastic, but the anime fails in everything to make it at least re-watchable and lore-friendly to new-comes... And why 6? Because~ Problem Solver 68!!

I haven't played Blue Archive nor have I read the volumes it has, but if you like Blue Archive you might like this. If like the trope 'cute girls doing cute things' then you might also like this. This anime could've been so good for more reasons if they just tried to make a proper anime which is kinda sad since not many games get anime adaptations so it was interesting at first, until the 3rd episode.
Nothing special happens, nothing note worthy, nothing breathtaking, just chatter chatter chatter and a gun fight every episode and a half that lasts a couple of minutes and it's just sooo boring. The characters aren't really characters, just cardboard cutouts and insulting to the cardboard cutouts.
The world though is cool ish but underused, which is kinda sad because they could have done s…

play the game and youll actually get more attached to the peak story writing
the anime just doesnt cover all that is in game so i recommend, after watching this, play the game and continue the chapters there :>
there will be more characters and far more interesting stories and exposure for sensei's capabilities. peak archive
and if youre looking for more fighting animations, well the game does have some of that too. the fighting scenes in the anime arent even bad ngl
OP and ED songs are good too (just gotta add that.) If you got a different taste from combat and slice of life, it may not be for you but you should try it out and see for yourself first.

This anime is not great. It leaves you with more questions than answers and it doesn't explain itself or progress at all well.
From the very beginning you will have questions that are never answered such as why is everyone fighting? That basic question is never truly answered apart from the debt they're in.
why is a school being targeted and why are the adults allowing kids to run around with guns? This question is Never answered.
Within the first episode you witness someone get shot in the head by a gun with live rounds. They end up getting up and walking away without a scratch. This is another question that the anime never answeres and makes all the fighting feel pointless.
There are civilians that are being dragged into the fighting with building exploding and cars being shot at a…

I f enjoyed watching blue archive. As someone who did not play the game before the anime, I was really excited to see how will they pill of the anime, and now I can say that they did an amazing job. The animation is is really amazing, I like how they focused on the details like in the characters reaction to silly OR serious situations. Also, I really liked the Op and the Ed, the Ed gives a nostalgic yet worm feeling. And man the story is f good, the relationship between the mcs is so wholesome. The 68 team mad me laugh so hard. I really like how each character gives a lot of depths to story. The silly moments are super funny, and sad ones really hits hard.
I really recommend any one to watch the anime and ignore the usual mal cringe rating, in all honesty if you let this cringe website r…

Based off a videogame story so already with rough footing there. There was nothing exceptional about this, some of the characters are nice to know but the whole anime more feels like a companion piece to people who have played the games and in that sense it was enjoyable but as an anime on its own its fairly lackluster. I am still hoping it gets more seasons as I've heard that the later chapters have a much deeper and striking story so I'm hoping those can get adapted one day. Until then though we are stuck with just volume 1 which is okay but its nothing that will win any awards or even be remembered by anyone who doesn't play the game.

I'm an anime-only and I've heard how people say the sequence of events is confusing, how this is not an anime for those who doesn't play the game, for me It's the other way around.
the fights was decent, the story is decent, everytime when there's Hoshino flashbacks I just wanna tear up, knowing how much she has to shoulder by herself behind everyone's back and what happened to Yume... it just breaks my heart....
It's just that there's no worldbuilding like as an anime only I have no idea what is Schale and why do all the girls have halo stuff like that but other than that everything is decent to me.
9.5/10

I play Blue Archive and I like the game because the story is very exciting and dark
but for the anime, I feel a little strange for anime only people who only watch anime
The first is the world building which is never explained in the anime. even though in the prologue of the game we are explained a little about the world in this anime which makes us not confused about what the city of Kivotos itself contains.
Second, Sensei's arrival and Sensei's identity are not explained here, what kind of authority is he in Kivotos, which makes anime viewers feel confused?
Maybe those are the only two I can explain
I can recommend you to watch Blue Archive if you at least know the prologue of the game because it's an important explanation for the anime later.
But if you can't watch it, you can ask…

Imagine going to an anime convention. The moment you step into the hall, your eyes catch an amazing cosplay of your favourite character. You approach the cosplayer and say: "I would never imagine I would see such an authentic cosplay of ."
In response, the cosplayer takes your spirit and breaks its back over her knee, which sounds like: "Sorry, who?"
This is exactly what this anime is: a cosplayer without the knowledge of the character. It looks like Blue Archive, it sometimes sounds like Blue Archive, but it is not Blue Archive. Though I gotta give it an extra point for tasting like Blue Archive, which is the taste of Iori's feet in Sensei's mouth.
So what's the problem with the anime? Unfortunately, there isn't one.
Firstly, the Volume 1, which served as a base for the anime, unfortu…

I'd love to call this an anime made for fans of the game and not for the average viewer, but honestly half the time I was watching this it didn't even feel like that. That being said, if you like the game, sure, give it a shot.
The weakest volume getting the weakest adaptation definitely suits, and if there's ever another season I feel like it would look much better than this due to the overall better quality of the story and fights. The visuals were alright, nothing amazing but nothing horrendous. The lineart for characters was pretty thick/blurry rather than the thin and crisp style I'd grown used to in the PV trailers. Compositing/lighting was pretty good and didn't seem too flat.
Overall animation was pretty clunky and rigid, however some fight scenes (especially in the second half)…

Blue archive is a rather strange anime. First things first: I have never played the source game, but I have some experience both with games like that and their adaptations. So, what does this anime have?
Pros:
Visuals. Unlike most promotional anime, this one looks pretty solid. Not only do the characters themselves look good, but the backgrounds are nice, and even the action is properly animated.
Sound. OP/ED are chill, VAs did a really good job, I have nothing to complain about here.
Characters. They are distinct, they have their own personalities, even though there isn’t much time to get some development - those are still entertaining. I will mention that the villains are somewhat meh, but considering those are some game bosses to go through - I didn’t expect them to be good in the firs…
