For those who are curious about BA but have no idea what it is, let me explain and try to sum it up.
Blue Archive is something of a slice of life action/comedy that takes place in a place called Kivotos. In Kivotos we have various academies that operate like micro nations, ranging from big to small. The smallest one being literally just five students. much like nations of earth, Each academy is typically inhabited by a particular race. Trinity and Gehenna, which are the two most powerful academies, are inhabited by angelic and demonic like girls respectively. They also have what's essentially their own militaries that keep order in their boarders. In Trinity it's the justice task force, and in Gehenna it's the Perfect team.
Meanwhile, millennium science school, which has a focus on technology, mostly houses humans and prefers to use a small but highly trained group for it's defense and dirty work.
I should of course point out that while everyone carries guns and getting shot is pretty common, no one really gets seriously hurt. Those halos over everyone's heads protect them from serious injury. Without the need to worry about getting hurt, it seems a culture developed around weapons, they're almost like a fashion statement in this world, and are something often used for disputes.

These various schools in turn also have clubs that can act like small factions. Some are innocent enough like the sweets club or game dev department, while others can be, like the gourmet research club or the hot spring seekers, can be a bit of trouble...

much of the story takes place from the perspective of Sensei. Actual teachers are pretty rare in this world, so students are mostly self taught.
Sensei works for Schale, an organization that has authority over all the academies that was put in place just before the president disappeared.
Sensei travels across Kivotos, helping students and clubs of the various schools with whatever they might need. For whatever reason sensei doesn't have a halo (maybe because he's too old, or because he's male, I can't say), but he does have some protection via a tablet he keeps with him and the digital AI companion in it which (somehow) helps protect him from all those stray bullets flying all over the place.

As for why it's called blue archive? who the hell knows.

Thanks for this, I always saw the art online and knew it was some sort of gacha game but never bothered investigating.

Tell me about the maids, anon. I've had an eye out for these five for the longest time — but Akane in particular — because maid- and bunny outfits are both of my weaknesses. Is there more to them than what their designs would tell (Asuna the smug, Neru the tsundere, etc.)? Particular tastes, hobbies, quirks? I'd love to get to know more about them, but I don't want to touch the game itself.

To sum up the maids. They're a unit called "Cleaning & Clearing", commonly called CC. They act like a maid club for Millennium academy, but they're actually something of a covert special ops task force, they're cleaners in other words. They're lead by that angry little red head and take on jobs usually assigned by Millennium's student council, called Seminar, but I think they might also do a bit of freelancing on the side too if I'm not mistaken.
If the anime gets a second season and covers volume 2 of the story, They'll have a large part to play in that.

The reason for the bunny outfits was a particular mission infiltrating an organization in which everyone was wearing bunny outfits. Unfortunately the event was from before I started playing the game myself, and they haven't added it to the recaps yet but I believe it involved taking down an illegal gambling operation on a cruise ship.
There's also a fun side story in which they got stuck running an actual maid café, and were surprisingly good at it.

Why does OP does a better explanation than episode 1 of the BA anime does? Maybe one day I'll read the manga instead and see if that makes sense

I think the anime and game want to keep things mysterious, and have you slowly figure out how this world works on your own bit by bit.

Narrow, yellow eyes and a crooked smile. I think I found the game's local degenerate.

She just has a hard on for explosives and high caliber weapons.

Now the one you really have to watch out for...

The weapons themselves, or all the fun things she can do with them? There is big difference.

Just as I thought, she is a sadist. One of us, one of us, one of us!

What she can do with them. There's something about watching things blow up that really gets her going.

She is the one! I watched that whole relationship storyline video. She doesn't hit as close to home as a certain magical girl, but she knows the thrill and is even willing to use herself to get in her fill of ruination. I love her.
