Blue Archive The Animation begins airing in April. The anime is based on the free-to-play “Youth x Academy x Military RPG” Blue Archive, which Google Play describes 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 anime centers around Abydos High School, which is on the brink of closure due to its sand-covered surroundings. The plot unfolds when the school's Countermeasures Committee encounters an adult referred to as "Sensei".

Originally developed by NEXON Games, the Blue Archive mobile game debuted in Japan in February 2021 for iOS and Android. Yostar Inc. oversees the Japanese distribution, while NEXON Company serves as the global publisher. The game has garnered several animated promotional videos.
