Blue Archive The Animation has gotten a “Daitai Ippun de Wakaru Blue Archive” (Blue Archive In Around One Minute) video that explains its setting and re-introduces the main characters, who previously received bespoke character trailers.
As part of the former function, the video features a greater look at the academy city of Kivotos, which is home to multiple academies. Kivotos’ students own easily obtainable guns (the narration notes that even the convenience stores sell them) and casually make use of them, although the weapons aren’t lethal to the students.
Blue Archive The Animation will premiere in Japan on April 7. The anime, which is inspired by the free-to-play “Youth x Academy x Military RPG” Blue Archive from NEXON Games, will focus on the Countermeasures Committee of Abydos High School, which faces the threat of closure due to desertification.
Google Play describes the game as:
You have been appointed as an advisor to the Federal Investigation Club, Schale, located in Kivotos. It’s a huge academy city where numerous academies are clustered together.
Resolve the endless incidents that occur in Kivotos with charming allies full of personality, and build special memories with them!
The Blue Archive game was released in Japan in February 2021 for iOS and Android. Yostar Inc. handles the Japanese distribution, while NEXON Company is the global publisher. It has received multiple animated promotional videos.
