RELATED: Romance Anime To Watch If You Love More Than A Married Couple, But Not Lovers



As Jiro and Akari spend more time together, they start to grow an appreciation for each other. However, as they both have crushes they would rather be "married" to, they need to co-exist to get what they want. The shy Jiro Yakuin is matched with the reasonably popular Akari Watanabe, someone he barely knows and who does not seem to have a positive opinion of him. Each couple is graded depending on their willingness to work together during the assignment if they get a high enough score, they earn the option to pick a different partner. In this universe, high school students are paired off so they can play house and pretend they are married. In that sense, the show did its job, and, hopefully, will lead to a superior sequel.īased on Yuki Kanamaru's seinen manga, More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers is a unique romance anime. Ultimately, season 1 is a glorified prologue that exists to establish this universe and the story's main characters. Prelude to Dawn's last two episodes were a step in the right direction following a string of mediocre entries, even if the finale lacked much in the way of tension. It does not help that the anime introduces a few new characters per episode, resulting in a large but mostly forgettable cast. However, when taken as a whole, Prelude to Dawn feels like it is running in place. Rhodes Island is very much the underdog, and the heroes are constantly on the verge of being overwhelmed. Individually, Arknights Animation's episodes are decently animated and feature flashes of tense sequences. Although a noble cause, Reunion is the anime's main threat. Led by Amiya, Rhodes Island rescues the "Doctor" from Reunion, a group that fights for the infected by attacking everyone else. Prelude to Dawn introduces Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company that acts like a rogue army while seeking to find a cure. The latter often face discrimination, leading to a divided society filled with terrified people who are willing to subdue others to ensure their own security. The series takes place in a world rife with Catastrophes, natural disasters that leave behind an energy source that can also infect people. Following a strong opening episode, Arknights Animation: Prelude to Dawn has lost some steam, all the while still remaining an above-average experience.
