| Reunion are coming in droves, but Ch'en showed how strong she was, as well as Lungmen, both of which seem a bit more trustworthy after watching this episode. Unfortunately, Misha got taken by Reunion, because of something surrounding her father, which is quite the development. The action scenes were definitely a joy to see as well. Glad to see the production has been pretty consistent thus far. With Misha captured, Ch'en's goal is simply to exterminate Reunion, and her and Misha's newfound alliance are looking to take them down swiftly. |
| The way Ch'en is, and the trope being abducted while changing location goes, Misha was to be abducted. Was great to see Hoshiguma. And for change good to see someone being nice from Lungmen side. |

| The animation feels like it has an actual budget to work with now, and the difference is incredible. Feels like Ep. 6 got the treatment that Ep. 3 should have had, both from an animation and storyboarding perspective. It's somewhat inflated by the fact that Episode 5 was as bad as it was, but this episode was on a whole different level in terms of quality. Not anything stellar in my opinion, but definitely good. |

| Ch'en is such a tsun tsun. I love it. Glad to see more W action as well. |

| Much better than last episode. I have high hopes for them tying up Misha and Scullshatter's arc nicely. |
| Also kinda bothered by the fact that characters who are clearly not japanese(or Higashi) follow japanese etiquette(bowing down and such). Like Amiya, who is Australian(Rim Billiton) and Misha who is Russian(Ursus). If with Amiya I can sort of understand it, because she's the leader of RI on paper and should've studied the etiquette of countries she makes deals with, Misha's just a girl who lived in another country for like a week only. |
| "Miss Bear" has a great secret!!!! kekeke |
| Ch'en, such a tsundere:) Somethings gonna happen with Misha next episode and I'm looking forward to it~ |
 |
| so Misha might hold secrets about something eh |
| still have no clue whats goin on........... why animate shitty games no one follows? |
 |
| This episode (and all the others leading up to this tbf) reminded me the thing I disliked the most about the first chapters of the game. The Doctor is not a character. They have no personality, no input, and no concrete role in the story at this point. They're not even a good amnesiac character who serves to receive the info dumps. They are just a doll Amiya carries around all the time and who sometimes spurts a single sentence when someone squeezes them. When asked by Amiya to take command of the operation they just don't, the anime doesn't do anything to actually show that the Doctor is better at handling combat than Amiya. Most of the time, in the game you can actually pretend that the Doctor doesn't exist and that Amiya is the sole protagonist interacting with the world and the diverse cast, but in the anime you are constantly reminded that they are supposed to be something because there is this big cardboard cutout behind Amiya in every single scene, and yet it being there does nothing for the story (I'm pretty sure you can edit the Doctor out of every single scene since they left Rhodes Island and nothing would be lost). This is probably a problem of early gacha game narrative not having found the right tone and direction to handle their player character yet, but this is the adaptation of a long running story, they could change things to make it not stand out so much. Also, Hoshiguma my beloved! I wish they made you bigger. |
 More W screen time is always welcome, especially her cynical laughing This episode felt extremely smooth and far more polished compared to the last episode.. but only 2 eps are left so that's a bummer still feels weird for Talulah to sound like Jalter/Echidina.. but I'll take it nonetheless That Hoshiguma entry was fucking Love! Finally the first (and one of the few) Japanese Operators in the game.. |
| I think that whole set up for the capture of Misha was a little bit predictable, so hoping we get a decent enough conclusion with the remaining episodes. |

sunny_senpai said: Things that you need to know has already been explained, the rest is a mystery. Arknights world is very different to Earth and it's HUGE with many many things happening in parallel and not in a linear fashion heavily centered around main cast like 95% of other anime. It is sort of like Durarara if you have watched it. Don't apply the same logic as we have here on Earth. We are constantly learning more and more about it as we progress just like the amnesiac Doctor who represents us. I feel like even though things should be a mystery, for anyone not familiar with the game (like myself) might feel at a loss on what is going on. We have the beginning of the first episode in media res and from there we are seeing the characters running and fighting non stop from place to place without many opportunities to know more about them. |

| So much better than last episode, there was consistency and cohesion that was totally missing in the previous episode! From the weakest episode last week to the strongest this week, what a jump in quality. |

| I am curious about Misha's importance in this arc |

| You know, this anime is really quiet. That being said, I still enjoyed it. How come nobody predicted Reunion's 'real' target is Misha? Skullshatterer literally yelled out Misha's name last episode and it's clear they we're going to get her no matter what. Now that Reunion have achieved their goal, time for Talulah to burn the whole city down to ash. Talulah refers to herself as Talulah in the beginning. Interesting. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
the arknights memes are real! |

| Looks like Reunion's main forces have finally arrived. Given the strength of the reunion forces within the slums as well as their allies it will be tough to root them out. Hmm so the reason for Reunion's interest in Misha was due to her family. The hypocrisy of Reunion though really is funny. Even when diplomacy was on the table they turned to hate and violence as soon as it become an option to them while RI did not. The convoy ambush combined with the clash in the square really added a lot of tension and action to the ep. Gotta hand it to Ch'en though despite how things are within Lungmen she does try her hardest to protect the city and its people. The guards elite units sure were impressive as well. Rare to see Ch'en's poker face slip lol. |

OMG i play that game! NIKKE!!! btw only the OST of Hayashi is the only saving grace for this show... |
 |
| Docutah is no more! misha time! |
| "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." |
| Misha just can't catch a break. God damn it. |
 |
| Ch'en experienced defeat thanks to W resulting in the loss of Misha and the Death of some her subordinates, but that was necessary so she stops Underestimating Reunion and for her ego. Talulah easily toying around with Lungmen Defense Army off screen is another proof for Ch'en that she seriously Underestimated Reunion as a Threat |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| RIP that butterfly at the beginning, "oh a pretty girls hand, *Lands*.... *gets burned*", Butterfly Lesson of day: Never trust a pretty girl's hands, LOL. ___ ___ ___ And yea, before this event happened, Ch'en was very stuck-up and Ego-Lord and believed Lungmen to be better than anyone else. I didn't like Ch'en in the game until after Ch'alter (Ch'en swimsuit) where she's more chill and isn't a Ego-Lord anymore. (I also never trained or used regular Ch'en) Plus, Ch'en is pretty much responsible for Misha being taken, Misha would have been at Rhodes Island getting treatment if Ch'en wasn't so stuck-up being "Lungmen is the best"... And before the failure, Lungmen wasn't taking Reunion seriously, they treated Reunion as a common gang instead of a crime organization. (later in the game, you'll see Lungmen's true force) ___ ___ ___ Also, W is too good at planning traps, LOL Once she sets things up, it always gets done. ___ ___ ___ |

| Why do I hope for Misha's demise. Their combat was kinda cute when they were on the rooftops. |
