Holy shit Seia is THAt bad
Hard disagree. Seia looks incredible in every single one of those. I really love the one they went with but #3 looks incredible too.

Also whoever came up with belly dancer Seia is a god amongst concept arts... I kneel.

Kind of wish they went with #2 for Mika, but at the same time #3 being relatively simple really fits her character direction.

mind you i meant i meant the raised eyebrow type of bad, not bad in quality, i'm of the simple belief that if any from 3-5 got live there would have been a sequel to the small shun

nevertheless this is a new bit

It's a shame they didn't go with the sundress, it's absolutely adorable. But, besides the nun garbs (which doesn't really fit the beach), the rest of them are way too risque and don't really fit her.
 
Speaking of, I never understood why Senna (Casual) wasn't called Senna (Swimsuit) Because all of her momo talks are exclusively her hanging out at a beach, her EX skill is her finding someone who drowned and preparing to resuscitate, etc. It just does not make sense that she is Not considered a swimsuit Alt.

And before you say that wouldn't count as a swimsuit, do not forget that Saori's swimsuit Alt is a pair of short jeans and a camisole too with a bomber jacket.

This is good news. Blue Archive had a huge presence at Anime Expo 2024 with a giant booth in the secondary West Hall and another booth in the main entrance in front of South Hall, along with a dev panel in one of the medium-sized rooms. Then I heard about the presence in 2025 being much smaller with an off-site dev panel and only a tiny display booth in West Hall. It's the kind of shift that makes Blue Archive look like it's diminishing, at least on the English front.

Now it seems like Blue Archive is going to go big at Anime Expo again, moving into the main South Hall with what's probably going to be a large booth. Petree Hall is also one of the largest panel spaces, so that's definitely an upgrade from 2024.
 
apparently this is the result of this event being immortalized

【Event Permanent Addition & Announcement】
Starting after maintenance on 5/20 (Wed), the limited-time event "Get Hyped and March On!" will become a permanent fixture! Students from Gehenna Academy, famous as a school thriving in the tourism industry, arrive at Hyakkiyako for a school trip. The festival management committee, who end up having to welcome them without any preparation, will they be able to satisfy them successfully...!?
nevertheless she's free....

...but yukino enjoyers will now be the ones waiting
 
I don't know why but that's what the official Twitter account posted.
Sorry, the paranoia strikes again. Some people (including me) noticed that the Blue Archive title logo on the Erika's preview picture is colored red instead of the usual white color. Since JP's current mainstory plot is all about subtle shift of the reality due to the GSC president, the title having the same red color like the president causes people to go "oh shit, the changes are real!"

But then someone said "bro, some of the teasers of previous students (Subaru, Summer Mika, Aoba, Kirara) do have the logo colored in other color that isn't white, y'all just getting worried over nothing."

Misuzu really let a Gehenner walk free from NPC jail instead of Yukino.
Wildhunt girls maybe? We've got two occult society girls who are unplayable and their prefect team members is unplayable despite one being one of the seven prisoners, ect
We've got 3 out of the 4 Occult girls that are playable because Rena released in JP with the Kivotos X-files even alongside Konoka.

If anyone wanted to know, With Erika's addition to the game (after 5 years) we've got a 4th new student added that now has a EX Skill that cleanses a debuff from an ally and Erika's Basic works into that by increasing Critical Damage. I hope you've noticed this pattern because there's 4 chances to be slightly prepared for whoever they're releasing that requires a dedicated debuff cleanse student for a gimmick. Also they made Erika a Special Slot student lmao.

It could also be as mundane as them just giving more options for Perorodzilla. They've been doing this recently for Geburah too with releasing more hyperbuffers and buffers for DPSers from the special slot because people are sick and tired of the fact that there's just two students who do that and both of them are limited (I.Sakurako and U.Asuna). However, this makes Rena particularly interesting as she does both, she has cleanse AND special slot DPS buff tied to her EX, it's possible that they will make new content that utilizes both at the same time, plus her sub skill buffing special slot DPSers even more.
 
oh right i was a bit late on it, but general erika dump

her ex skill + intro



e: the yt link is here, i don't understand why it disappeared like that

I like Michiru's second dress design.

Is it true Blue Archive's anti-cheat has kernel level access?
