Arknights

[KrayZ33]

--------------------------------------------------
"In the land of Terra, natural disasters of unknown causes have been occurring irregularly in many areas. Therefore, the majority of the people, in order to escape those natural disasters, came to live in mobile cities developed over the years. The Originium left behind at the site of such Catastrophes, has led to the rapid progress of civilization due to their immense energy. But it also brought something else with it — an incurable disease called Oripathy. Because the bodies of those with Oripathy gradually crystalize and become a new source of infection at the time of death, in many countries, the Infected are subject to persecution under regimes of segregation and forced labor. Those who were oppressed by the governments are starting to rebel. Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company researching a cure for Oripathy, takes up their arms and starts a conquest trying to save all the people from the disease. "

2 episodes released so far.
The show, much like the game and the synopsis suggests, is relatively gloomy.
I kinda like that the Doctor's voice is rather gender neutral, at least I believe that's about as far as it can get in that regard. I personally still believe it's more on the female side, but it is what it is.

Animation is so-so, or maybe even good. The art-style on the other hand however is on the weaker side for me because it looks kinda bland, but then again... it fits the story and universe it is in. Who knows, maybe when places change, it's actually going to look more vivid and they use it for contrast. Considering how detailed and clear it is at times and then how blurry it is most of the time.

As for the setting, I really liked the idea of companies taking up arms when the goverment isn't stable enough to prevent it. It's an interesting what-if scenario. It reminds me a little of how Cyberpunk works.
The show, as of right now, doesn't seem to fail at presenting how fucked up the world is they are living in though... even when you consider how "generic" the hooded-bad-guys are in anime and games. The scene in the abandoned "alley clinic" in episode 2 was awesome in my opinion.
