Yuki Watanabe is directing Arknights: Prelude to Dawn at Yostar Pictures along with Masaki Nishikawa as the assistant director. They were also in charge of producing the event trailers and the special animation for the 1st anniversary.
Out of everything we’ve worked on, the 1st-anniversary animation “Holy Knight Light,” is the most similar to what we’re doing now.
