| Pretty decent and cute start. Let's see how the story will develop from here. |

god that was so peak. Also love how they showed how all characters change because of sensei.
ALSO MAJOR PLOT POINT
SHIROKO'S PANTIES ARE WHITE

| @KokonaCunny420 Finished episode when did the panty shot of shiroko happen? Might have missed it. All in all great episode really enjoyed it. |

| That was a great first episode! Originally I was indifferent to Sensei's anime design but after seeing him animated... his design and voice is perfect. edit: obligatory Arona !!! Hoshino !!! 😭😭😭 |

| Beautiful, Peaked, Masterpiece, Absolute Cinema. I can't believe they incorporate the gameplay in the anime. |
BA ANIME IS FINALLY HERE WOOHOOOOO Hifumi will appear soon I can rest in peace now |
| Cute and funny episode fr fr. |
vanitas vanitatum  |
| IT'S HERE. I got into gacha games not too long ago, and I've seen Blue Archive everywhere, so there was no way I won't watch this. A part of me wants to start playing it, but I already play Uma Musume, so starting it will absolutely murder my free time. Maybe someday... I really wish there was two of me now. Oh wow, that beginning O_O. This might be more serious than I thought. I've seen these halos e v e r y w h e r e. I wonder what they are. Sunaookami means "sand wolf" 17:53 居場所 (ibasho) - place where one belongs; where one fits in; place where one can be oneself Very pretty OP. Cool first episode, but I really need some lore and explanations. |
 |
| Peak sensei expression. A really good first episode, focusing the main characters introduction and personalities. Definitely want more worldbuilding in the future.  |
| Is this what the peak I've heard of looks like? |
| Cute and funny start. Their coordination was just like how they are in Tactical Challenge, so messed up without Sensei's help. Lmao. |
| The animation is really good especially the op ,and i hope its not just op but the entire eps can hold the quality of this animation ,theres not much happening in this eps but for sure the story will grow over |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| is the game good? i feel like I should try it. episode was nice |
 |
| OMG UUUOOOHHHHHH😭😭😭😭😭💢💢 ITS FINALLY HEREE, SENSEIII IS JUST LIKE ME FR FR! THE OPENING SONG SO PEAKKK, SO THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED PEAK FICTION!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE OF THIS PEAK!  |

| I am following this show out of curiosity how it beat FGO in terms of storytelling. I am yet to see why. but it is too early to judge it soon. I'll give it the three episode rule or maybe six. Anime adaptations from games are usually bad though especially to people who never played them. But to be honest, the first few singularities or even the entire arc 1 in FGO sucked, that is probably how it lost. |

surprisingly smooth and high fps compared to its predecessor (shorts) , they really putting the work here it seems, very well done
| @fitsahats i have never played the game so do i need to know anything or i can watch it without any knowledge of the game? |
| I could make a very old joke about guns and schools, but no. So the halos just appear when they are awake. I hope to see Red Winter in the future, or Cherino, to be precise, even in the background. |
 |
| Finally our game receive an anime adaptation, I'm really happy about it |
| couldn't have asked for a better start, already filling gaps in my imagination and seeing the battle sequence and the tour of Abydos definitely made it feel a lot more real. |

| @CrystaLyse Neither three episode rule nor six will work because the story that is adapted as anime now is the Vol 1 of the game, which is arguably not the best part of the story. The parts you've heard such high praise are highly likely Vol 3 and Vol F, which I won't go as far to say they beat FGO in storytelling but they ARE indeed really good. The current Vol 1 that's adapted as anime will be just character/world introduction and some chill slice-of-life parts at the start that will get a bit serious near the end. And I doubt this season will get more than 12 episodes so they prolly won't have freedom to adapt more Vols either. So just keep your expectations low if you're expecting a story that 'beat' FGO. Geez, that's why I wanted them to adapt straight up Vol 3 for anime. Each Vol has little to no connection until Vol F so if they want to adapt Vol 3, they can do it. They prolly chose Vol 1 to adapt as anime cuz the cast in it are the face of the game. But by adapting Vol 1, I KNEW there'll be anime-onlys like you who'll come here with wrong expectation. I dunno how many more people I need to inform this by repeating the same stuff smh. Please do me a favor by spreading this info if you see more anime-onlys like you. |

| This is so fucking stupid. The one single thing even remotely close to being interesting are the background characters, maybe the animation (even though they recycle shots). Everything else sucks. |
