Hi everyone! Winter 2022 Anime started airing one after another!! Some anime already aired the second episode! I recorded “Thus spoke Kishibe Rohan” and “Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru” but I haven’t watched them yet. I can’t wait to check them out!! It’s Mafuyu from Goods Republic!!

Okay, today I want to introduce this anime!! It started airing since January 2022. We should review the anime’s world view before watching episode 1.

This anime was adapted from the prequel of a mobile game’s main story. It is very popular in Japan. The title of the anime is......

This anime was adapted from a mobile strategy role-playing game that is set in a war-torn future where tactical dolls are used for combat in place of humans! What kind of game is it? What kind of world view that the story has? What kind of characters are in the story? Let’s review it together!!

The game is similar to the recent mobile games like Touken Ranbu or Kantai Collection –Kan Colle-.

The gameplay involves the acquisition of T-Dolls, building them, and sent into battle to complete combat missions, simulations, or logistics support tasks. You will have to consider the T-Dolls specialties and win the battles by defeating the enemies and taking over their camps. You can play it manually or auto-mode until you get used to the game.

(Furthermore, it is not really humanizing firearms. The characters and firearms are just linked and each character has a code name from the firearm’s name.)

Due to the World War III, conflicts broke out all over the world. Countries were having difficulties to govern their people. In order to break through the situation, a private military organization, Griffin & Kryuger (G&K) was established! The player of the game assumes to be the role of a recently promoted G&K commander. The purpose of the game for the player as a G&K commander is to resolve the conflicts that are happening all over the world with Tactical dolls!

Each of tactical doll in this game is specializing in and inspired by one real-world small arm, which are categorized into combat classes such as handguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns and shotguns.

For example, the character that is specialized in a handgun does not have a strong ability to combat as one. However, she is good at supporting others (obtaining lots of buffs and debuffs and is fuel efficient. Furthermore, she is the only character that can see widely in the dark during night combats.

Other character that is specialized in a machinegun can shot quickly for long time. Her physical and combat ability are high and she is good at fighting over many numbers of enemies. However, she has low hit rate, needs time to “reload” and her fuel efficiency is not good.

You have to know the features of each character in order to use tactical dolls for appropriate combats.

Episode 1 seemed to contain lots of information that may not easy to understand for the first time watchers.

Anime version describes the incident happened in the beginning of the main story of the game. Tactical dolls who are in the AR squad of the “Griffin &Kryuger” are going to fight against AIs that rebels against humanity......

Let’s watch anime, episode 1 and know the game’s world view and characters! The opening scenes got many compliments and it gathered people’s attention! So please check it out!

That is all for today! I will see you in the next article!!

See you soon!!
