Belonging to Abydos High School, Hoshino is the former vice president of the Abydos Student Council, She is a lazy girl who is currently the chairperson of the task force. She likes to play rather than work and has a habit of talking like an old woman. Because of this, she is usually scolded by the other members of the committee, however, when the assignment starts, she struggles on the front lines to protect the other members.
Yostar Pictures (Arknights: Perish in Frost) and Candy Box (assisted with two episodes of Arknights: Prelude to Dawn) are animating the series together under the direction of Daigo Yamagishi (Show By Rock!! Stars!!). Shunji Maki (Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion Z) is credited as assistant director while Hiromitsu Hagiwara (Azur Lane: Slow Ahead!) is the chief animation director and character designer. Hiroshi Onogi (Shangri-La) is in charge of the series composition along with Yamagishi. The anime previously revealed a trailer introducing Shiroko.
Blue Archive anime is based on a role-playing mobile gacha game developed by Yostar Japan and the Korean game studio Nexon, a subsidiary of Nexon Games (formerly known as NAT Games). It was initially released in Japan on February 4, 2021, while Nexon published the global version on November 8, 2021. The game is free to play with optional in-app purchases. The TV anime adaptation was announced during the game’s 2nd-anniversary special program.
The story of Blue Archive takes place in Kivotos, an academy city that was established by the union of thousands of academies. The players of the game take the role of a sensei who will guide students in the Federal Investigation Club, otherwise known as Schale. As the city’s newest club, they receive requests from the General Student Council to assist them in keeping the city of Kivotos away from danger.
