[Arknights] Ace (Spoiler for Episode 3)

[@ShadeIsUnhinged]

Update on title because it spoils the episode sadge WAIT A MINUTE I REMEMBERED SOMETHING- The opening shows all the scenes that happened in the anime right? Ace is probably gonna show up one last time! Sadge seems like a lot of people are disappointed with this episode. I saw one said that if they weren't a fan of the game, they would've dropped the anime after this episode (Though remember, they have minimum budget and workers. Better put that money into the more important scenes than the tutorial part I guess)

[@ShadeIsUnhinged]

And he's gonna meet Talulah and attempt a 1v1 💀

[@cob-codeofbrawl7668]

man just jinxed it

[@Sairento-kun]

Ppl will always cry, they do great job. The most cry ppl who would want 1:1, slow as hell pace. Newcomers and most gamers are fine with it :v Im day 1 player, I follow the plot and I rly like their job, so far at least top 5 of this season

[@ajeda]

Yeah, I've seen people beeing over-critical with this anime. Sure, it has some flaws, but considering, they are now adapting the beginning part of the story and its first anime made by them, I think it's pretty decent. Visuals are good, VA do a phenomenal job. Also, I like how they are portraying all the emotions of the characters with a wide range of facial expressions. I guess it might be confusing how they handled Ace's death for people who don't play the game, but I hope as you mentioned, that scene from the OP with Ace will appear later and they will clarify this.

[@ShadeIsUnhinged]

@@ajeda and also the early chapters are one of the worse ones. I'm sure it will get better, like you said, this is the first (full) anime they created. And the first 3 episodes are to show the general world building. If they rush it, it could get confusing

[@-thepatriot-9719]

The angle really makes us speculate on what the hell happened to his arm for people who dont know but to us we know and it isn't broken, its gone.

[@vp7877]

from the lack of blood it's probably burnt off

Ace, the character that had a small amount of screentime, but is loved by 99% of the fandom for obvious reasons. Now, my only worry is about the censorship, they just showed him in angles where you could not see his left side.

[@ShadeIsUnhinged]

I got confused at first because they censored it. I thought he broke *just* an arm

[@namelessbloodedge3162]

@@ShadeIsUnhinged You can still see him without his left arm in the opening.

The fact that Ace is so calm even though he lost an arm proves how much of a badass he was.

[@frostndrayn3541]

It was even sadder then in the game... but still great episode!

Jesus Christ this is literally the second time that we see someone named as Ace being burned to death by a fire attribute user all while making a grand unforgettable sacrifice and being loved by it by the majority of the fandom.

Are we forgetting about Guard, who ended up joining Reunion?

I know this approach somewhere they didnt show his last stand in this episode then show it in another episode, or maybe not just guessing

Yep I have completely forgotten specific details while watching the anime, but they *might* show what Tal does to him later one (probably next episode?)

so that guard was the operator who joined reunion at chapter 8?
