A livestream program for Sunborn Network's Girls' Frontline smartphone game announced a television anime on Friday. Warner Bros. Japan opened an official website, revealing a commemorative illustration (pictured), Asahi Production as the animation studio, and its 2021 debut. China-based doujin circle MICA Team, later incorporated as Sunborn Network Technology Company, began developing the smartphone game in early 2015 and released it in Mainland China in May 2016, in South Korea the following June, and in English in May 2018. The game was released in Japan under the title Dolls Frontline in August 2018 due to another registrant already acquiring the original trademark. Girls' Frontline serves as a prequel to MICA Team's 2013 role-playing game Codename: Bakery Girl, an enhanced version of the doujin circle's 2009 kinetic visual novel Girl of the Bakehouse. BigFireBird Animation (Dahuo Niao Donghua) produced a 24-episode net anime series that ran between July and December in 2019. A second season streamed from October to December last year. Synopsis The game is set in a war-torn future where tactical dolls, more commonly known as T-Dolls, are almost exclusively used for combat in place of humans, some having been repurposed from their previous life as civilian androids. The majority of the world is uninhabitable due to contamination from the Collapse Fluid, and much of humankind is dead. In 2062, the artificial intelligence of Sangvis Ferri spontaneously rebels, with their T-Dolls and robots killing their human masters and taking over nearby areas. In response, the private military company Grifon & Kryuger is hired to contain and eliminate Sangvis Ferri forces.

I haven’t played it myself, but if this is good I might just check out the gunfus.

Have you played it?

    And besides that, the only game turned anime that I ever saw that was half-way decent (or at least funny) is this one.

    Here’s hoping The World Ends With You gets added to this list after the anime premiere 🤞

        I think this has elements of visual novel too. Probably most of the gacha games do. But basing on some gameplays and the anime based on gacha games I’ve seen so far the story is very minimal and is just an afterthought.
