Use an official starting point
For PC, the Steam listing is a direct reference. For other platform links, begin at the official Aniimo site and follow the store destination it provides. Confirm the game title and publisher context on the destination before installing.
A search result with a familiar game name is not necessarily the intended store listing. Avoid treating a third-party APK, unofficial launcher or paid ‘reservation’ as a required step. The legitimate next action depends on the current official platform page.
Understand what each step completes
Keep your preparation checklist explicit. Completing a wishlist action does not establish that you registered for a separate website reward, and obtaining an installer does not establish that the servers are open. This distinction matters most when several launch activities use different accounts or dates.
| Step | Useful result | Still separate |
|---|---|---|
| Wishlist | A storefront reminder | Website event participation |
| Pre-registration | Participation under the site’s stated terms | Actual reward delivery |
| Download / preload | Client files become available | Successful login and server access |
| Create a character | A character on the chosen account/region | Cross-save or transfer eligibility |
Before the first launch
Check the date for your platform, the device requirements shown by its store and the account you intend to use. If you participated in the dated web event, review the email-matching condition in launch rewards. Agree on a region with friends before creating characters when the client presents that choice.
Keep enough installation space and a reliable connection available. Use the current official announcement for the installer and recheck its dated requirements. A successful download is preparation; server availability and login still need to be checked at launch.
