The upcoming Arknights anime Arknights: Prelude to Dawn unveiled seven visuals highlighting the anime’s key characters. The anime will premiere on TV Tokyo on October 28, and will also air on Amazon Prime Video, Niconico, Abema, and Animax.
Momo Asakura is also joining the cast members as Medic, Chiaki Kobayashi as Guard, and Koichi Yamadera as Wei Yenwu.
Based on Yostar’s hit mobile game, Arknights: Prelude to Dawn tells the story in the post-apocalyptic world of Terra and revolves around two different societies – the Infected and the non-Infected.
The Infected are diagnosed with Oripathy, a disease caused by exposure to Originium, a mysterious substance that plays an important role in the story. Under the disguise of offering Infected medical care, a company known as Rhodes Islands has been secretly researching and experimenting on Originium to create new weapons for the war.
