Arknights anime seemingly confirmed for October 2022 broadcast by its composer

In a now deleted tweet from Yuki Hayashi‘s PR account, the Arknights anime will be broadcast in October 2022, besides also confirming his involvement in the anime.

UPDATE, 24 SEPTEMBER 2022: The anime broadcast date has been announced!

Yuki Hayashi’s credentials include Haikyuu!, My Hero Academia, PreCure and Gundam Fighters, so the soundtrack seems to be well set for the Arknights anime. Discussions over the deleted tweet hope that the game’s original soundtrack will also be used. After all, Hypergryph is a music company.

The latest teaser trailer for the anime did not reveal the release date, but considering the time frame, a proper announcement should be coming pretty shortly. As there is also the official English dub for the characters in the game, it should be reasonable to assume the voice actors will be reprising their roles for the anime broadcast as well.

While we do have a tentative release window now, it’s not clear how many episodes it will be. Modern anime typically have 12 episodes to a single season which is hardly enough to adapt the first arc of Arknights‘ story. From the teasers so far, we should be able to expect Chapter 0 and Chapter 1 and potentially part of Chapter 2. It’s only a “prelude”, after all.

In any case, stay tuned for more timely announcements that don’t get deleted.
