Just as 2nd season of Arknights anime got greenlit during the announcement of 4th year Arknights anniversary, I just managed to get some time finished watching Arknights prelude to dawn. In short the 1st season of Arknights anime is as good as a primer to the series but nothing more, nothing less.
Over the span of 8 Episodes, Prelude to dawn covers the storyline of Arknights Main Chapter from the prologue up to Chapter 3 where Amiya lead Rhodes Island to rescue Doctor and have him rejoin the faction up to the mid part of confrontation with Reunion in Lungmen. As a fans of the series watching the anime, animation is good enough but i feel Hypergryph tried to make the anime as plain as possible.
One of the main charm of Arknights game is collecting hundreds of operators and then slowly gaining their respect/affection. Though due understandable circumstances, the anime is devoid of this aspect with only Penguin Logistics and BSW shown directly working with Rhodes operators. Hypergryph actually could consider making 1-3 Episodes for the side stories to enrich the atmosphere of the anime series, though i guess the Devs team are trying to gain some experience as screenwriter before such project could be considered. To be honest Arknights anime will not be able to replace the mobile game's content but it is a decent gateway for the casual fans to get into the series,
