Arknights: Touin Kiro Review

Overall Rating 6.3 out of 10 - Waifus got worse while plot and art somewhat better.

Still worth watching.

Sequel to original Arknights that took the wrong turn right from the first minutes of the first episode. 

Kindness, care and protectiveness of Amiya was one of the best aspects of the original show. Warm cozy bunny was very endearing, you could readily want her and her caring kindness in your life.

Here they just went on and made her refute her past self for half of the first episode. New Amiya does retain some of her original self, but that is shadow compared to her past self.

Most of the previous cast only make cameo appearances and are replaced by newcomers. They kept the least likable ones and added more unlikable characters to the mix.

On the other hand, story and plot saw an improvement, I do not remember much of the original's story, but it was rather tedious. Here it's often better, but that varies from episode to episode. I would not call the story exceptional as some events are clearly stretched for plot twists sake. However here they at least trying to make it interesting.

Art is probably even better than in the original. This sleek modern technogenic design of characters and electronic devices is awesome.

Overall, I can still recommend it.
