| That was some good negotiation by Amiya to convince Chief Wei to sign a contract with them. Still a bit suspicious of Lungmen, as well as Ch'en, whose motives seem a bit unclear. As for the episode itself, some great background shots as always, production remains quite solid. Amiya and company seemed to have rescued Misha, but is she out of the woods yet? |
| Hell yeah! Liskarm! I wonder what Misha did. |
 |
| This episode was nicely done. Looking forward to the next one. X3 |
| That was the real first episode after the epilogue (tutorial in the game) and you could clearly feel that. |
 |
| Finally Chen appears! And Kaltsit as well More brief appearances of the Twins and Kokodayoooo <3 can't wait to get some proper screentime of them. when you praise or make your Little Bunny happy and she rewards you with her smile  Aside from the Negotiation it was mostly a set up episode but it should pick up again next episode as the short scene with one of the reunion leaders at the end should make clear |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| ITS CH'EN!!! man i forgot lungmen was this toxic to the infected |
 |
| darn it i want more! |

| hopefully next episode will have action |
Akumaru03 said: nope, its a music company. Jokes aside, its a tower defense gacha game thats pretty popular in japan and china. Gameplay mechanics, story lore, and art are surprisingly well made for a "tower defense" game. So I'm just kidding about being a music company, or am I? Arknights has their own music label with unbelievably good vocal songs and epic BGM for a mobile game, their website is down below: https://monster-siren.hypergryph.com/music https://open.spotify.com/artist/7l5zSPffvPDaRRYkAHsyt7?si=NqJ355_TSDmSd7l2HrI67A Its not a surprise that Yuki Hayashi is also composing music for this anime thanks! that's really fascinating! |

 Huh?? Wait a second here. So those aren't their actual ears??? Can someone up with the lore explain? |
-insert NGE meme here- |

NorthmostIsle said: Huh?? Wait a second here. So those aren't their actual ears??? Can someone up with the lore explain? they have lore why do they have 4 ears, but very far away, even just revealed in the game a few days ago |
| Ex waifu is here. But where's her long nagging? |
| Finally more main character showed in this eps , and also some combat scene of 3 star operator , the pacing is more good then the previous eps too i hope they can maintain it |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| Uh, I am curious about what will happen next |

| always wanted to see Lungmen in the anime: the cityscape, bright lights... just so different from many of the landships in Terra. even Amiya was surprised, bringing out her child self. loved the little squeals and cute moments there! not much to say, but next ep is gonna dive right into something like a tug-of-war, as Reunion too, seems to be looking for the same person |
| I like the surrounding during the night time, very mesmerizing. Kal'tsit seems to know Doctor, hmmm there might be a later story about their ocnnection and Ch'en is kind of bratty, especially during that call. Misha is safe and sound. So far, things may be a bit too vague for me in terms of the mystery (and it's not bad!) |
| Chen, my beloved. Hoowee, I love Misha's VA. Nice to start up this arc, and we get to see the next enemy too, gee I hope nothing goes wrong. |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| oh no, chief wei is hot |
 |
If you don't mind some spoilers, I could tell you. |
| Ex-Wife is finally here! Lets freaking gooo! they absolutely cut short her 90% of dialogues and for good reasons... Kal'tits is the pinnacle of a wife who never shut ups in the game.. Misha voice sounds superb and Yato voiceline! Love the A1 team cameo in the background.. hope we heart a bit of Kroos like Yato.. Absolutely love that they used the same angle for Ch'en as in-game angle for her scene.. I can't find any issues with the anime except it being overly short and 8 episodes are not nearly enough.. :/ |
| It was Ok. I actually expected some action in this ep, but nope. Still, it wasn't all informational like before, and I enjoyed the story-building. Nice to know there will be more depth than just the main characters running headlong into battle after battle with flimsy reasons as to the motivations behind the fights, such as the fight with Mephisto and Faust in ep 2. Granted, I haven't really touched the game, so I have no idea what to expect. The series is moving pretty slow though, overall. Curious as to how much they'll accomplish in just four more eps. |
| Doctor throwing rocks was unexpected lol. I half expected this episode to be filled with Kaltsit's monologues but it had to be cut short because of the time restrictions. |
| so all the Animal people have 4 ears? interesting... rescue Misha completed? |
 |
| We know Rhodes are the idealists, but prioritizing the request of some random kids over the government organization they're trying to strike a deal with is iffy. Suppose something in the contract or unrevealed detail of what Lungman does to infected could make it less extreme. |
| This anime tries really hard to feel deep, dark, serious, mature and cinematic, but I still don't understand what the hell is even going on. style over substance. now I understand why when I played the game I just skipped all the texts after 10 minutes dropped |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Liskarm is here, my first 5 star defender. Why is Doctor throwing rocks? Those are precious materials to upgrade your operator. LOL! |
 |
| Subquest completed. 1000 exp |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Always fun to see the ambushers be ambushed. Nice to see Liskarm and Franka too. Blacksteel are great allies of RI. No matter where you go seems the infected are treated the same. In fact its this fact that will only swell Reunion's numbers. I really liked the expansion of the lore via their entry into Lungmen. While on the surface it was high tech beneath it was a all too familiar story of the poor being exploited by the strong that RI is now stepping in to help deal with. Looks like despite their boasts Reunion managed to slip in quite easily. But overall a fun ep that while a quiet one did well to expand upon the lore while introducing new characters like Liskarm, Franka, Ch'en and Lungmen's leader Wei. |

| Damn Lungmen really won't let the infected get in. I mean I get it. You wouldn't want people with mysterious disease entering your town, especially if you're one of the security guards. That aside, Lungmen looks beautiful at night. I love the contrast between the shot of it at night showing lights and presenting this luxurious lifestyle, when during the day it shows the slum. Why did Misha do to get chased by thugs? Did she perhaps steal a loaf of bread and get found out? Maybe I can answer my own question by reading the wiki but I don't want to spoil myself, so I'm going to ask here: why is the Doctor wearing full-face mask (a helmet even) with layers of clothes? Is it necessary for him because he has a frail body or something, or it's just to hide his identity? Doctor Kal'tsit is voiced by none other than Hikasa Yoko herself. Very soothing and cool! Speaking of Kal'tsit, she's very tall or it's just us who's below 170 cm.  Why do I get the feeling Chen orders Liskarm and Franka to eventually capture Misha? |

| Looks like we've finally been introduced to Ch'en. The visuals they did for the city in this episode looked really nice, giving it some vibes. Seeing how it ended I'm guessing there is going to be some action next episode. |

| Two Yato cameos in two consecutive weeks, 10/10 earned |
  |
| The Misha Bear!!!! Well, rescue and .... kekeke |
