A livestream featuring mobile RPG Blue Archive by Yostar and Nexon Games brought a special surprise for fans: a TV anime adaptation.

Check out the show’s anime trailer in all its animated and waifu-filled glory below:

The anime adaptation’s story will more or less be the same as the game. Here’s a reminder of what the game’s about:

The city’s academies are divided into their own districts and are considered mostly independent.

The General Student Council acts as governing board to manage the academies as a whole. However, the group’s ability to govern has come to halt since the mysterious disappearance of the General Student Council president. Countless issues have begun to surface throughout Kivotos in the absence of the president’s leadership.

To avoid disaster, the General Student Council requests assistance from the Federal Investigation Club, otherwise known as Schale. In fact, Schale is the city’s newest club and the last to be approved before the president’s disappearance.

To accomplish its task, Schale relies on the guidance of a Sensei who can help them resolve the incidents around Kivotos.

(Students are required to carry personal weapons and smart phones! Get a taste of the military action, love, and friendship the Academy City has to offer!)

Blue Archive came out for iOS and Android devices on November 2021 for the global market. The title is a gacha game with a clean art style, a lot of high school student and teacher-type characters,  and a number of action-packed scenarios that borderline on the fantastical.
