Blue Archive Anime Begins Airing Next Month, Character PVs Shared

The Blue Archive anime adaptation’s exact release date is set, and character PVs for the main cast appeared. It will air in Japan starting on April 7, 2024, though no simulcast announcements have been made for it yet.

Here’s the official social media announcement, which included another look at the key art for the show. The adaptation will be covering the story of the first arc of the game. That’s the “Foreclosure Task Force.” It features the Abydos High School Countermeasures Committee characters as its stars. From left to right in the art, they are Ayane Okusora, Shiroko Sunaookami, Nonomi Izayoi, Hoshino Takanashi, and Serika Kuromi. 

We already had some idea that the show would appear in April 2024, but didn’t know exactly when. Nexon and Yostar confirmed that back in January 2024. That was the first real update since the show’s initial January 2023 reveal. Since then, we’ve seen some fairly regular trailer releases introducing the heroines. 

For example, here’s one showing Shiroko.

Hoshino showed up in one after that.

We got to see more of Serika in February 2024.

Nonomi’s PV also appeared at the end of February.

Finally, the most recent Blue Archive character trailer focused on Ayane. 

The Blue Archive anime will begin on April 7, 2024, and the game is available on Android and Apple iOS devices.
