Arknights (Perish in Frost) S2 Episode 4 Reaction
Added 2024-04-25 01:56:26 +0000 UTCSURPRISE ZOMBIES?! CRIMSON OVERFLOWING!!!
Holy shit, Ch'en... that was such an awesome trump card reveal! I cannot wait to learn more about her sword, its cost, conditions, and potential sentience. Plus, did you see how BEAUTIFUL that animation was?! How crazy will it get when the sword's fully unsheathed?!
I cannot wait to see what'll happen next, we've cleared the first half & I don't doubt the second half will blow me away... once we move past these issues! Am I the only one who felt this way? Or are my criticisms valid?
What did y'all think about this episode?

Only took 4 months to respond, eyyyy... lmao I'm sorry, this should have been done sooner. I am loving the paragraphs, the sheer enthusiasm needed to write this many factoids out about various points of interest from my reaction. It's honestly fantastic! I've made sure to add as many of these details into my notes as possible, so thank you! Clarifications for misunderstandings and trivia about special boss battles in game always help me out. I can't wait to spend more time with Blaze & see if I vibe with her as much as the mobile game fans do, her introduction was neat but definitely dampened by episode's issues. I'm still so curious about Wei's secret condition for the contract... as much as I love his VA & character design, I just can't trust someone who schemes by nature and treats our MCs as bait... but that's sorta the purpose of his relationship with Rhodes Island. He's neither friend nor enemy as he said to Doctor when confronted. He's a wild card and it's great!

2024-08-20 02:31:01 +0000 UTCAnd so, Episode 5 ends..... yup, VERY short timespan here. The last 4 episodes of S2 are Episode 6. Shit's about to get real! In terms of Kay's Daily Doodles, would be fun to see, man. It's INSANELY wholesome. Nothing like the Arknights we're used to, but god DAMN is it adorable! Another fun little series they made is Closure's Secret Files. It's more about explaining the different base structures in the game, but it is ENTIRELY watchable without playing the game as well, it's super hilarious! You'll learn a bit about Closure as well, who is both cute and fun! But yeah, Mephisto is a healer or Medic, as it's called in the game xD not something you'd expect his Arts to be right, ahahahaha. When you fight him in the game he starts healing a lot of heavy tank enemies, + Faust obviously. 1 of the VERY rare boss battles where there are 2 bosses! Anyway, yeah, as he says, he keeps healing their wounds, and corrupting the originium inside their bodies to make originium zombies xD pretty fucked up. OR, as they're called officially, in the game: Possessed soldiers. And their consciousness is buried deep down, as you saw when they thanked Ch'en for her mercy...... pretty fucking dark, if you think about it! Uhm yea, you can see how fragile Mephisto's bravado is once he's dragged into a corner, lmao. He really started begging Faust to save him, lol. And yup, Fumizuki is indeed Wei's wife! And who is this Duke Of Kashchey... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... guess you gotta wait to find out! =D There are a LOT of secrets going around, as a famous Lungmen detective once said in a trailer: "It seems everyone here is hiding something..." can't trust Wei, but you already knew that =) and now he wants to eliminate Reunion in 1 day.... I wonder how he's gonna do that.... Also FUCK YES finally we got besto catto Blaze! Her Arts are FUCKING cool! She explains them herself in the next episode so I won't say anything about them here, but just wait! And if she doesn't become at LEAST a top 3 favorite RI operator by the end of this anime, you're watching Arknights wrong xD And yes, as she said in the anime, she has powerful Arts, but she's NOT a caster. She's a guard. A girl with many talents! She mainly uses her chainsaw, so she can go both range AND melee! That's why she's an elite operator, not a rank many achieve, that should tell you how talented and insanely powerful she is to have as an ally on the battlefield. In regards to the episode, yeah, a lot of people have been complaining about the pasing of the anime here, because of the time constraint. And it does make sense, and unfortunately it does get worse in Episode 6 cause a LOT happens in this episode alone and they tried putting all the most important moments in, and it really does start to feel disjointed, except episode 7-8, episode 6 of the anime is by far the most confusing to people who haven't played the game and it really does show, and is understandable. I think I've rambled long enough, great reaction dude, as always, that was fun! Can't wait to see what you think about Episode 5... All I can say is BIG OOF. PS: Ch'ens sword is named Chi Xiao, yeah. And no, using it is not gonna kill Ch'en, lmao, you misunderstood what Mephisto said, haha. He meant the only way to stop the zombie madness was to force the sword out and kill him, and getting killed by Reunion in the process. Using the sword only hurts Ch'en cause she can't control it! And I got mentioned in the intro again, woop woop xD
