Girls' Frontline (ドールズフロントライン) is a 12-episodes animated series based on the mobile game Girls' Frontline and its manga Girls' Frontline: Doll's Song. It was originally announced for 2021 during Sunborn's 22 January 2021 live stream, animated by Asahi Production and produced by Warner Bros. Japan.[1] Key arts have been illustrated by duoyuanjun. The opening is Bad Candy by yukaDD(;´∀｀)[2] and the ending HORIZON by Team Shachi.[3] The series was broadcast from January to March 2022 in Japan on BS11, Tokyo MX and AbemaTV and outside Japan on Muse Asia, Funimation and Wakanim.

It has attracted mixed to poor reviews due to its story, adapting the narratively simpler early game chapters, and a middling production value, with notable errors on the specifics of the weapons shown.
