Fans and critics praised the anime for its excellent animation, exciting action sequences, and accurate portrayal of the game's characters and mythology.

Yostar Pictures, a company founded by the game's publisher, produced the anime version of the game. RPG games are frequently included in anime series in the realm of animation. The dystopian setting of the game features a large number of individuals who have been affected by the mystery illness, Oripathy, which crystallizes the bodies of its victims.
The players seek out a cure for the illness using their abilities to battle the infected and other foes along the way.
TV Tokyo and TV Osaka will broadcast episodes of Arknights: Perish in Frost every week. The show will also air on BS11 and Animax.

A teaser video was released soon after the final episode of season 1 aired in December. Arknights season 2 promises more thrilling combat, poignant scenes, and surprising turns in the story. The realm of Terra, its history, and its secrets will also be explored extensively in the anime.
Additionally, MYTH & ROID, a Japanese rock group best known for their tracks in Re:Zero and Overlord delivered the opening number for the second season titled ACHE in PULSE. Furthermore, ReoNa, a Japanese musician who has sung for Sword Art Online and Demon Slayer, delivered the closing song RIP.
At the end of Arknights: Prelude to Dawn (season 1), Amiya had to execute Skullshatterer, who turned out to be a young Misha's brother. After the incident, a traumatized Misha lost trust in Amiya and finally accepted the name 'Skullshatterer' in lieu of her brother. This will set the stage for exciting tension in the second season.
The first half of the Act I: Shatter of a Vision story arc from the Arknights video game's main theme will be adapted in season 2, picking up where season 1 left off with Rhodes Island's endeavor to put an end to the Chernobog Crisis.
Crunchyroll will be broadcasting Arknights season 2 and the first installment of the title is also available on the platform. In Japan, TV Tokyo will also broadcast the anime. In addition, fans can also play Arknights on iOS and Android smartphones to get a deeper understanding of the plot and gameplay.
