Excitement is brewing as the much-anticipated TV anime, “Blue Archive The Animation,” based on the Nexon Games smartphone sensation, has disclosed its Japanese broadcast schedule.
The series is set to make its debut on April 7, 2024, on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting, with an additional broadcast on BS11 to follow.
Under the direction of Daigo Yamakishi, the animation is a collaborative effort between Yostar Pictures and studio CANDYBOX.
Shunji Maki serves as assistant director, while the dynamic duo of Hiroshi Onogi and Daigo Yamakishi takes charge of series composition. Hiromitsu Hagiwara, in the role of character designer and chief animation director, contributes to the visual allure of the series.
The setting of the Blue Archive smartphone game is described as follows:
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!)
