Unconfirmed
The anime adaptation of Blue Archive was announced on the 2nd-anniversary special program on January 24, 2023.
Unfortunately, there is only a visual teaser that has been released so far. There is no additional information related to which studio works on it or when it will be released.
Based on other Yostar games, Azur Lane and Arknight, it will take a year before the first episode take off. The pattern shows off that the first episode premieres exactly the same season as the announcement is made.
We estimated that Blue Archive will premiere in either the winter or spring of 2024!

Blue Archive Story
Blue Archive is set on multiple academic cities grouped together in one region called Kivotos. In this city, young girls from different academies are engaging in regular fights over resources.
Even though the fights occur every day, it doesn’t make it into a lawless city. There is a massive club that presides over the entirety of Kivotos. It is called the General Student Council.
They handle every matter related to the city starting from school-related matters, approving club formation, law, and enforcement. However, they still leave the individual school to handle their own autonomous districts.
Unfortunately, the beginning of the story starts with the rumor of its president goes missing. But before that, she creates an extrajudicial, autonomous organization called Schale. This organization works as a problem solver for various issues faced by academics, students, and administration.
The story follows sensei, a figurehead who claims the role of administrator of Schale after its president went missing. His first and foremost task is to find the missing president while solving the problem surrounding Kivotos.
Slow but surely, sensei will face the darkness surrounding Kivotos. Can he handle it?
