Right now: the best rip in Blue Archive The Animation is the Booster Box at $39.80 against $277.54 of expected pulls — a +493% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 88% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Blue Archive The Animation is the English-edition Weiss Schwarz follow-up to 2025's Blue Archive set, released July 31, 2026 and built around the anime adaptation. Packs are the standard Weiss nine cards.
Weiss economics are the most top-heavy of any game we track: signed SP cards of popular characters carry a huge share of a box's expected value, and their pull rates are both low and poorly documented. Our slot model uses a rough franchise-average — treat the EV here as a wider-error-bars estimate than for other games.
The set is fresh enough that the market price for loose packs hasn't stabilized on TCGPlayer yet; until it does, our fallback pack price is simply the box price divided by sixteen. Prices refresh every two hours.

FAQ
How does Blue Archive The Animation differ from the 2025 Blue Archive set?
It's a separate set built on the anime adaptation, with its own card list, new illustrations, and its own signed SP lineup. The 2025 set remains in our catalog separately.
What are the chase cards?
As with most Weiss sets: Triple Rares (RRR) for playable value, and low-pull-rate Special / Super-Special signed cards of the popular students for the real money. The signed tier dominates box EV.
How reliable is the EV for Weiss sets?
Less reliable than for other games. Weiss pull rates vary by franchise and print run, far fewer box-opening studies exist, and the value is concentrated in a handful of signed cards — small errors in their assumed odds move EV a lot.
What are the odds a Booster Box of Blue Archive The Animation pays for itself?
About 88% after ~15% selling fees (94% before fees) as of 2026-09-11, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Blue Archive The Animation pack model rather than a simulation. The median Booster Box returns $198.68 of cards after fees against its $39.80 price, and the chance of at least doubling your money is 64%. These odds refresh with every two-hourly price update.
