If you love Blue Archive and have finished volume 2 of the main story. This is a fun expansion on that same story with familiar faces. If you have never played Blue Archive before or have not completed the first half of the second volume, I do not recommend this until you have read through it as you will be confused at best and bored or annoyed at worst. Story - 5 - The story is nothing particularly special and is of little substance and expands little upon the characters or the setting as a whole. The story is of the quality of most fillercontent you would see in most filler episodes of anime.

Animation - 6 - Awkward at some points with clearly reused frames, but generally is capable of giving weight to actions.

Art Style - 8 - Generally captures the look and feel of blue archive though near the beginning, prior to when Momoi catches the baseball, the sequence feels quite washed out and is noticably of lower quality than the rest of the animation.

Sound - 8 - Music within the animation is generally adapted from the game and sound design is relatively unoffensive. Voice actors voice the same characters from the game and do a great job.

Characters - 5 - Little characterization occurs within this animation with it operating under assumption that you are familiar with the characters. While I love some of these Blue Archive characters with all my heart. Characters within the game development club and outside of it generally fall flat. This is most notable with Aris(u), a fan favorite character who should be stealing the show, but she is never given any real opportunity to show off her character gimmick.Characterization of the characters within PS 68 and the Justice Task Force is very strong overall and you can get a general understanding of the character from their short time on screen.
