[@XeosLolicon]

honkai has the joke of being named by the community by depression impact because the game really hits every point every arc feels absolutely awesome but also it hurts really bad every time the best game i ever played

[@kevinkaslana13]

Blonde dude, Otto Apocalypse is one of the main "vilain" of the game and one of the best written character of all time (of all genre)

[@JMWWFLY]

I hope someday you will make a reaction to the pre-release and release trailers of honkai star rail. Maybe even on trailers of versions of the game

[@gio87vr]

This one is too pivotal for the story, we can't explain it without explaining almost all the first act of the game, 28 chapters of main story.

[@carlosmaia37]

Genshin is happy, Honkai Impact is depressing, that's exactly right. You should react to the other animated shorts and their respective songs. This is one of the most depressing songs of the game, and with context, is even more heartbreaking, even though the one this song is for is for one if the villains

[@kevinkaslana13]

Always remember that Dawei (honkai creator) told us that honkai impact is a wholesome and positive story.

[@vorpalchoppers]

Well it sure is😂

[@loveunityandpeace]

yes very very hole-some

[@HotaruExtori]

and he said it again during the part 2 announcement.. calmly

[@lKeKeKel]

@@HotaruExtori that's why I am sure at least story-wise Part 2 will not be bad at all.

[@blackburn031]

​@@lKeKeKelI'm almost sure that Honkai part 2 takes place in St. Fountain, and we all know what happened in St. Fountain...

[@InquisitorAstelon]

A yes, Regression. The day I was shocked to find myself crying for the villain.

[@lonelyzero2673]

Genuinely having a hard time naming any other work of fiction where I reach the point of crying for the antag

[@BMAD_Christoph27]

@@lonelyzero2673 Anakin at the end of star wars episode 3 was pretty emotional, but although he became the antagonist at the end it differs from Otto because it was a betrayal from a loved character, unlike Otto who was hated since the start.

[@lonelyzero2673]

@@BMAD_Christoph27 It was emotional, but didnt get me to the point I was crying. That said, I think I thought of a few - basically almost all 12 upper moons of demon slayer

[@GOTGames]

👀😭

[@euthymicdream]

Ayanga is truly an excellent singer. He conveys the emotion behind the song so well. Regression is about Otto (the blond haired guy in the video) and what he suffered through for hundreds of years. Ayanga also had a very tragic life growing up as both of his parents died when he was very young. He was taken care of by his older brother (who was 20 years older). Ayanga went to the Beijing Dance Academy, a very prestigious instituion, and in his senior year, his brother also passed away. A tragic song about a tragic person sung by a person who had a tragic life so young.

[@Lunaria_Vale]

Aw heck. No matter how many times I've heard this song, I still always tear up. But I think it'll be best to see first the Animations. The Animations, paired with the music at the same time? Perfection. If you want to listen to the music by itself or read the lyrics afterwards, that's also cool.

[@GOTGames]

Really is such an emotional one and I don't know the story to it 😭

[@nyseetem]

@@GOTGames the animation that uses this song is called "thus spoke apocalypse". I won't say more cus spoilers, but it clearly was a checkpoint in the story of HI3.

[@sara_s1737]

There are so many good songs but this one is definitely my favourite. It just got stuck in my head and heart and never let go. This and also Yusuf's version (the one who sang Samudramantha from Honkai Star Rail) are both so good. I refuse to believe Hoyo is not a music company in disguise, making games in their free time lol

[@vorpalchoppers]

Yusuf has such a phenomenal voice. He is handsome also 😂

[@christopherzajonskowski7123]

Boy, did you miss the chance of listening to Yusuf's live-version from MiHoYo's second concert... he gave one of the best solo performances there I've heard in years with Regression. :(

[@kevinkaslana13]

True that was an amazing performance

[@jacktheripper7935]

It was absolutely breath-taking.

[@Skadi9890]

Honestly I prefer the og singer than him but too bad he didn't show up.

[@geminiokra]

if only we had the performance without otto speaking. it made it more powerful, but id really like it without the voice lines.

[@alxcrvs1908]

I think there is a vod from the concert so he can watch it there but I loved Yussuf cover

[@Sacron1143]

Most of the recognizable Honkai songs are already present in their feature animations, but there are a couple of very good ones that aren't. From the top of my head I can think of The Day You And The Stars Disappeared (Theresa's theme song) and Double Cherry Blossom / Yaezakura (Yae Sakura's theme song)

[@i_dont_have_a_youtube_chan8584]

There is also "See you in the next world."

[@triopsate3]

@@i_dont_have_a_youtube_chan8584 Correction: there is no Honkai animation linked with Lyin but there IS a GGZ animation linked with it and it's MiHoYo's animation all right. Lyin animation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hojXlqivarpjpKM

[@Luxius.]

@@triopsate3 well, basically : - Tsumi no Tenshi (Angel of Sin) > CyberAngel - Houkai Sekai no Utahime (World End Diva/Honkai World Diva) - Hoshi to Kimi ga Kieta hi (The Day You and The Star Disappeared) - Urushi yoru Yuki (Color of Snowy Night) - Lynn - See You in the Next World and several other shongs are also derived from GGZ and have been reused/remaster/remake/remix in HI3rd

[@Shadoxas]

You are missing out the voice acted story part of the music animations since there is a version of the voice acting first then regression plays at the end. The singer Ayanga is a pretty popular Chinese singer who is really great at singing broadway like songs. For example there’s one of him and another guy singing Phantom of the opera somewhere around KZbin and my god is he amazing. All the singers Mihoyo get mainly all the Asian ones for the most part are pretty well known around China like Zhou shen or Ayanga or any of the singers in their concerts. Btw most of Honkai impact animation music are rather sadly emotional whether in an actual sad way or a sad but happy way like melancholy ish especially with a song like final lesson or Da capo when you eventually react to Da Capo.

[@blackdragon1412]

Honkai hurt us so much that when Starrail came out most of us were worried for the characters specifically a certain red haired character. Depression impact has changed us captains o7

[@MrShamus22]

We’re still worried lmao what you smoking? There’s already a body count piling up in Star rail and we haven’t even visited Penaconey yet

[@sara_s1737]

I will never stop being worried about a certain red haired character but also about some others. Hoyo can really deal that emotional damage on another level anytime they want

[@floofyspirit]

The fact that Himeko is planning to get off the train to go with us in Penaconey... the red flags are wildly shaking rn...

[@min4743]

Hoyoverse already did some twisting at Luofu arc sooo...

[@jebzy2016]

I doubt that'll happen, because this time welt is ready.

[@zhenbred]

It would be awesome if you also react to the actual cutscene with name "Thus Spoke Apocalypse"

[@Loneyloyt]

"Honkai is a very sweet and wholesome game" - the Developers said with a smug face

[@silhouette9699]

And actually there's A LOT of songs in HI3/GGZ. Not only from animations. Highly recommend to react to "The Day you vanished with the stars", "Double Cherry Blossoms" and "Sennen no Hane" Edit. Better do with lyrics btw

[@Luxius.]

Here's the Japanese title and some extras from me - Hoshi to Kimi ga Kieta hi (The Day You and The Star Disappeared) - Sennen no Hane (Millennium Feather) - Urushi yoru Yuki (Color of Snowy Night) - Yaezakura - Double Cherry Blossom - Lynn - See You in the Next World

[@Spiritqm-ol4fq]

Yes I absolutely love Ayanga’s voice and emotion he put into this song. So mesmerizing!

[@KaroShinCH]

Please do react to the animated short associated to this song too owo the title is "Thus Spoke Apocalypse", if you haven't. Add more to that emotional damage 😂

[@gemofhaste1872]

Oh my goodness I can't help but sing along with this song everything I hear it I can't wait for you to reach this moment in the game it is wild with context I hope to one day see you there captian

[@MrShamus22]

Definitely need to watch Seele and 11Ex next. I’d also say do both and Meteoric Salvation altogether as 11Ex and Seele are both short

[@MrShamus22]

Sidenote this song and scenes are from Thus Spoke Apocalypse, a future cutscene you haven’t watched yet. This scene hits like hitting a brick wall going Mach 3

[@jadeanime]

2:25 lol Genshin's story pretends like everything is sunny rainbows and flowers, while lurking underneath, the backstory/lore is literal agony for almost every single character. xD Honkai just doesn't bother pretending.

[@Gytis_Of_KFP_The_4th_PenKing]

honkai ost and animations manages to convey feeling of the moment perfectly even with out context and i love it

[@slushrai]

Thank you for this heartfelt reaction

[@benthetakodachi8445]

this song and the animation its in, thus spoke apocalypse, and the scenes before it made me cry, other previous animations got close, but this is the moment that got me. this is someones wishes and plans that took hundreds of years finally coming true. otto did a lot of bad, but he also did a lot of good, and thats what makes him so interesting. like other people have said, i never thought i would rooting for and crying for the villain lol.

[@svenfruiti494]

That song and especially the begin hit me hard somehow because we humans can't stop time and it passes so fast sometimes and I somehow connected the lyrics to real life and memories from the past.. I didn't know that song but thank you for showing and reacting to it. This one was special

[@ShadowNeo_2]

Another amazing Honkai Monday. I will be here for all of them! I really need to finish the game chapters and manga but I know I will get heartbroken again. 😢

[@AryaLux]

Been playing Honkai since 2016 and I can literally say that this game made me a better person. Everyone is the author of their own story and just like any author, they don't always tell you directly what's going on so we might as well just respect and help everyone around us.

[@Cakehai]

o7 for Otto, Respect for the biggest clown A beautiful song for a great villain Rest in Peace, You Stubborn Fool😭

[@kidoEv]

And this was the moment when players were willing to forgive Otto everything or at least they understod him...

[@Roma_Romanee-Conti]

2:40 that's because the dark stuff in Genshin isn't promotional and all that like in Honkai and people even ignore the promotional stuff because it's spoilers, pretty ironic... Genshin has arguably darker themes and execution of them, Honkai only does things serious after lots of chapters, before that it's a very half baked story, but still dark isn't the word I would use to describe it all

[@MemeSquidWasTaken]

WARNING! SPOILERS FOR HONKAI! (story behind regression) i also recommend that you react to Da Capo. absolute god tier in literally every aspect ever so the story of regression is that the blond guy (otto) is 500 years old, and every day of his life he regrets hit choices that led to the silver haired girl (kallen) getting hung and killed. in the modern day his entire goal is to turn back time to live the rest of his life with her and save her. This song plays when he achieves his goal by creating an alternate timeline where she gets to live in exchange for his own life. (i'm not entirely sure if an alternate form of him lives in that universe, because the CG leads me to believe that, but IDK if it's that or he just 100% dies and doesn't even have a copy of him in that universe, comments help me out) I'll be honest Honkai is the only game to date that made me root for the villain of the story 😭

[@alphawolf6214]

ALSO SPOILER he did succeed but killed himself in the process

[@H4T5UK1]

Correction Spoiler: . . . . . . . . . . Otto created a new timeline to save Kallen in exchange of his own life.

[@MemeSquidWasTaken]

I edited it, though I still have a concern abt which i proclaimed in parenthesis @@H4T5UK1

[@morlock2012]

Mild spoilers, obvs I mean, we see that the change he triggers is to roll back Kallen getting stabbed by the beast, then our-timelime Otto dropping in to destroy it. That means everything up to that night is part of that timeline, and Otto was around to release the beast. I haven't seen anything to suggest that the Otto in that timeline would simply cease to be, as part of all that. Thought it doesn't matter much, I think. Part of the tragedy is that even with Kallen surviving in that timeline, she's already disgusted by his ethics, esp in his experiments. The Otto of that timeline isn't getting their old relationship back. An interesting q is why he modified that point in time. I don't see any technical reason he couldn't change an earlier point, and reset some of his own decisions. It might be much harder to get those choices to play out differently. Or, he may have felt he wasn't entitled to that. Or, he may have believed that it would risk losing to Honkai further down the line.

[@waiewakuza6414]

you know this is basically part of the reason its called depression impact also i'm laughing because you cried for it but i'm also crying because i got reminded of all of it it worth the emotional damage

[@Quantum_Magus]

This song is also good with the animation it goes to. "Thus Spoke Apocalypse".

[@blackburn031]

Some others song I recommend you to heard to are Da Capo, Moon Halo and True. You will definitely love the too!

[@zhenbred]

Nice, I was waiting for this:)

[@glacialfoxx7361]

This song is the latest for me where I am currently in HI3rd and it was sooooo good.. 🥲🥲 There's another song in the animation video for this that is fantastic too. Can't wait to see your reaction to that one. I'm always excited to see your reactions, Thank you!

[@coltoniusmaximus]

Reminder: Star Rail "Space Comedy" and the animated shorts

[@ShapeshifterOS]

Genshin may be a lot lighter, but does have its darker undertones Mihoyo is known for. Not nearly as much as Honkai or as obvious though. Like Ei living through all the death of her friends. Like Timmy's dad never coming home. Like Nahida being caged.

[@RoflCannon6]

None of those feel particularly well explored either (with the exception of Nahida) but I guess that’s kinda what happens when you’ve got a gigantic cast.

[@generalhaha]

Wonderful reaction, thank you for doing this 💜highly recommend the animated short "shattered samsara" and/or "everlasting flames" for honkai next. both absolutely incredible

[@vorpalchoppers]

Luke, this song is definitely one of my favourites! And I would also like to see you react to Da Capo sometime!

[@lordofsloths9985]

honkai 3rd has happy then it crushs your hart into millon peases then you be everying all at onece.

[@vorpalchoppers]

Whenever something happy or good happens I already have that psychological response of "Something bad is happening soon". Bruh

[@BloodTrinity]

Yes...YES... Let the feely feels flow through you! Gather 'round you emotion-vampires! It's time to feed!

[@Luxius.]

I thought I'd recommend a HI3rd song that wasn't used in the animated short (although some of them are from Honkai Gakuen 2 and reused in HI3rd) - Hoshi to Kimi ga Kieta hi (The Day You and The Star Disappeared) - Sennen no Hane (Millennium Feather) - Urushi yoru Yuki (Color of Snowy Night) - Yaezakura - Double Cherry Blossom - Lynn - See You in the Next World

[@hermanmaulana4719]

The best part about Honkai Impact is, although people not playing the game or not following the stories, they still can feels the emotions and It's hits really hard

[@kamanira]

The cinematic for this song is called "Thus Spoke Apocalypse". Keeping it vague, the song can best be described as... "The Final Ballad for the world's Greatest Fool". It'll be a bit before you get to that point in the cinematics- or the game, if you choose to stop watching the cinematics to play the game and experience them as they come (as they're ALL massive spoilers for major story points)- but Thus Spoke Apocalypse is easily my favourite.

[@thecapitalk]

It's nice that you finally reacted to this, The song itself is one of the best in my opinion but I reccomend you react to the dreamy euphony version. That one hits harder emotionally than this and the singer is Yusuf who sang samudratha from star rail

[@thesilentjonin1319]

Man if the song itself almost made you cry, I can't imagine you reacting to the animations they were made for lol. You could always react to the animations first and then the full song in the same video if you want (though some animations already include the full song anyways like with Cyberangel and Final Lesson.)

[@mylesobrien7477]

When this first came out I would listen to it to and from my trade school for weeks it got me through many practice sessions and bus rides. Of course doing this I eventually ruined the song for myself as it was never as good to me as when I first listened, but this song is very important to me because of this. Also part of the reason I will die on the hill that Otto Apocalypse is the best Honkai character and I will forever think that.

[@wiredrayne]

Otto is a perfect villain. A man with a selfish desire, fueled by love, to reject all else in pursuit of his goal, even giving up his own life for love. Hated by many, respected by all.

[@arsnovalee]

bro really need to watch the animaton related to this OST

[@ShiwaTheDrink]

The song that makes you respect the villain. Honkai OSTs are always good, but this one is my favorite.

[@zaacckatbo1341]

Otto Apocalypse hated by many, loved by others, you live long enough to be a hero or you die as a villain, one of the best antagonists in the Honkai series

[@FleetOfFog]

One of the best written villains in fiction in general in my opinion.

[@ritvikdesu2102]

Obviously you feel that way. No wonder it was named the Depression Impact... my fav story out of all hoyo games😭😭

[@weertangel7231]

This song always hits like a truck,even more becouse what its about, a Villain trying to change the fate of his beloved even though she rejected him and chose her own path and now he's trying to change her death by literally sacrificing the world, its so well written u can't but feel for the guy, even though he did the most horrible things to the people around him to get there. Btw, this singer also did Samudrartha for Honkai Star rail, another banger of a song.

[@Luxius.]

Nope, It was Yusuf who sang Regression in the second concert, not the original singer on this song

[@Luxius.]

also he didn't sacrifice the world, but he even prepared the world so that it could survive on its own after he left, and created a new world timeline where Kallen lived happily

[@WolfSpike180]

honestly i would love to see how this song would hit with someone covering it like Nerissa with her powerful yet haunting vocals.

[@jalcome4201]

Theres a live concert version sung by Yusuf (who sang the latest Star rail song) and its worth checking out. Maybe at ur own discretion, since its the same song. But his version is very cool

[@dragonarch0]

Honkai in nutshell: Listening songs without knowing story: 2x emotional damage Listening songs after playing story: 10x emotional damage

[@VividAmbitions]

If you're planning to listen to both the OST and animations, I recommend that you watch the animation WITH its intended OST. For example, Will of the Herrscher / Befall or Final Lesson / Nightglow or in this case Thus Spoke Apocalypse / Regression. A good next video would be a reaction to both the Seele animation and its OST Dual Ego (ps. they dont call it depression impact for no reason lol)

[@kylesmith987]

I would recommend for most of these songs to react to the animations that go with them. You get a lot of context around the song from the animations as these songs are designed for the animations. There is definitely music to listen in HI3 that is not tied to an animation but almost all the big ones are and soo far every single one you have reacted to has been part of one of the animations. For example: the song from this video is tied to an animation called "thus spoke apocalypse". There is also a canonical watch order to the animations but if your not playing the game I'm not sure it really matters as some context will be lost.

[@solariseclipse901]

"I'll knit you a sweater with my tears" is pretty much what Honkai Impact embodies 😂

[@MKAZ-_-S]

most music in HI3 actually tied to animation or cut scene, and you'll hear full version of it in ending credits

[@_Void_Archive_]

This song and the synimatic that goes with it are my favorites in life! Otto Apocalypse is my favorite character in life too. And no, I don't just like antagonists or handsome people, no, I understood him, understood him as well as I didn't understand anyone. I know he's an asshole (although many exaggerate his atrocities, most of which happened accidentally or unintentionally, and almost everyone forgets how many people he saved with his actions at different times), and I don't forgive him. But I would do the same as him. If, of course, I had enough strength ... Goodbye Otto...

[@bondepower8288]

This song is actually one of the OSTs for a later animation and it's so good. If you almost tear up by this, im pretty sure youre gonna cry with the context of the animation lmao. But the next animation would be Seele, and then Meteoric salvation!

[@tiffaniawestwood4387]

this is a diff game but i'd recommend goodbye for now (full version), Tungsten (full version) and Satellites which is sung by amalee and is a pretty great song from nikke goddess of victory.

[@vincentaguilar7011]

and here comes my weekly dose of pain and suffering

[@ShirouBrando]

[@carlossoto274]

you should listen to graduation trip (it is the closing of an entire stage of the game)

[@chesksouls]

You'll have goosebumps again when you watch it live

[@chrisbounds7607]

this song is longer version of the animation called "thus spoke apocalypse" the blond guy is otto apocalypse who i think is around 600 years old. for where in animation time line think about 4 or 5 more sections before you react to it

[@prastagus3]

I watched YT content creators (men and women) play through Honkai Impact 3 and they all cried at various points. Its almost guaranteed to have waterworks if you actually know and understand the context for the animation shorts and OSTs. Honkai Impact 3rd is a interactive visual novel with periodic action sequences, disguising itself as a moba with a gacha mechanic.

[@hiktor3183]

There is a trailer for a 2.0 patr of Honkai Impact 3rd if you wanna watch it.

[@pahan131]

You should react to some HI3rd concerts sometime. Specially Dreamy Euphony. This song hits even harder in the concert

[@_liric1200]

I think I just copy-paste my comment from previous Honkai reaction: "If we go for in-game animated shorts, the next will be "Seele" (pronounced as "ze - le", both "e" like in "red"). I advise you to watch CN version only because of missing phrase in JP dub. But you still can choose JP version, I'll be happy with any of them." Also for OST reaction I can advice "Lyin (See You in the Next World)". It came from game before Honkai Impact 3rd -- Houkai Gakuen 2 (also known as GGZ ["Gun GirlZ" but not sure]). And that GGZ even darker（Ω Д Ω）

[@Ak-Ra]

We need a vote to make him react to the Honkai impact concert' guys

[@Engineering_is_fun_they_said]

You HAVE to watch Honkai Star Rail animated shorts: ''A Flash'' and ''Ichor of Two Dragons'' They are amazing both visually and musically (looks like anime, I believe it's done in 2d)

[@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe]

New to Honkai? Just check the Honkai Impact 3rd PART 2 First look Trailer. That's at least not sad, it's make you hyped.

[@FloeticsPH]

This is the song the made some of us Respected, Liked, or even cried for a Villian that we all hated. Some of still do hate him but he has undeniably earned the respect of Many and personally my adoration(his not someone to be looked up on but I adore his life story nonetheless).

[@Alpha-fi2dp]

You really have to listen to the honkais concerts, have some of the best music you will hear

[@Kia-x-Mei]

everytime i eatch the animation of HI3 i feel like crying

[@ifrit1937]

My personal favorite song/animation from Hoyo. Also yes, you will definitely cry if you play and get to this part of the story. Will also say Otto (the blond hair guy) is up there as one of the best characters of his role in gaming imo, definitely up there with say Giliath Osborne from Falcom's The Legend of Heroes Trails series (who takes the #1 spot in regards to characters with their role due to how well the establish their repsective motives/background stories). Speaking of the Trails series I'd highly recommend watching the opening animation for The Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky 1, 2 and 3 as well as the later Trails games (Trails from Zero, Trails to Azure (Zero and Azure take place in the same arc with Zero being the 1st game of the arc), Trails of Cold Steel 1, 2, 3, 4, Trails into Reverie, and Trails to Daybreak 1 and 2 (though you may find them called Kuro no Kiseki for now as the Kuro/Daybreak games yet to release in the west and the first game has only got a western announcement this past week with a slated release for summer 2024...note all of these games take place in the same world and build off of each other's storyline for one massive story that takes place in a roughly 8 year or so timeframe but each game takes place in a different country of the world though some old characters make appearances/play a role in later games story (i listed the games in their release and chronological order if by any chance you/anyone else gets interested enough to try them out...you can generally play the first game of any arc))

[@poliwb1]

this song is powerful. Ayanga is amazing singer. at the same time, Otto is an amazing character. p.s. you should try the live version of this, sang by a different singer (Yusuf) but equally as amazing.

[@WritingGremlin]

There is a reason Honaki Impact has the nickname 'Depression Impact'. The game never fails to hit you in the feels.

[@noragogo-ws4qy]

Bro this kills me every time

[@celineheng77]

I recommend the program Genshin Impact HoYoFair 2023 which is a compilation of Fanart / Fanmade for the anniversary of Genshin impact 2023.

[@TheNamelessKaslana]

The Greatest villain in history 💯

[@spymadmax584]

A Hero would sacrifice his loved ones to save the world. A villan would burn the world down to see his loved one, one last time. And that's exactly what makes him really interesting

[@Strato5]

The game is very depressing in moments, heck i've cried several times, but I wouldn't call it a bad thing at all. In its totality I'd say it's a story about hope, love and, perseverance. Showing and experiencing the dark times makes the light shine even brighter. it is absolutely worth while if you care about stories in games, it is one of the bet stories I've ever played.

[@silhouette9699]

There's a meme in Hoyo community being: Genshin player trying Honkai: I didn't know Hoyoverse can be that dark Honkai player trying Genshin: I didn't know Hoyoverse can be that wholesome

[@vorpalchoppers]

Oh boy, let me tell you about the Sunchildren. Certainly, you only ever do is fight in Genshin. And that meme is only present on the streamer/Twitter side of EN fandom, so it is probably less than a quarter of the actual Hoyo community.

[@silhouette9699]

​@@vorpalchopperseh? Okay. Whatever. I don't really care about CN and Asian community that much since I can't understand them lol Weird flex

​@@silhouette9699That wasn't a flex though, aint no one flexing that

[@BlueCHMA]

Haa.. Otto apocalypse... The villan we hate yet the villan we cant blame for his actions. Sure soo much we lost bc of him. But we cant fault him for his actions. He truely shows that nomatter how much big we see the world as or how much justice we feel. Without the ones we love.. We find that the whole world feels of little meaning. Nomatter how long we live.

[@joshidejj]

Regression to me is the number 1 emotional song ever to be made in Hi3, right there with Moon Halo and Rubia. Man, if only you knew the context of each of the songs after playing the game, you'll be left in pieces and a pile of tissues.

[@nashahara]

From GGZ (Honkai Gakuen) to Honkai Impact those two are the edgy predecessors to both Genshin and Star Rail Those two Honkai games will ring you dry emotionally It's soo good yet so depressing, and It is possible that Star Rail might go the depressing route too if you give it enough time

[@Ak-Ra]

A short explanation, the blonde guy (Otto) love the white hair girl (kallen) but she dead in accident caused by him for releasing a beast Honkai/monster that regret bring his journey 500 years only to revive kallen at the cost he became the enemy world and his life but he succes to give kallen another future

[@Dieskull1000]

Trying to not spoil much for when you watch "Thus Spoke Apocalypse", but this is a story about a man who was set on dedicating his entire life to playing the part of the villain in order to give a second chance for the love of his life. Its a beautiful yet tragic life story of a misunderstood boy losing the only person that mattered to him and spending the rest of his life trying to get her back. Evil or not Otto was a really well written villain, his doings were not just due to "pure evil" but rather stemming from the motive of nothing else mattered as long as it led him to his goal.

[@galenedge481]

It's weird for me that I stay away from a lot of music because I really don't feel like tearing up or straight up crying but I am drawn to Honkai Impact 3rd music so much. It hurts most of the time and it's beautiful. Regression is one of the harder hitting ones.

[@Quantum_Magus]

If you want something upbeat? It does exist! Try Reburn, not the animated short but the song performed by Chalili.

[@Fordrake21]

Compared to Genshin, yes Honkai Impact 3rd story telling is darker, some characters even fan favorites like Himeko died. Which is what i like about Hoyoverse's story telling, they will kill a character if it will make the story far better, be it a fan favorite or not! Honestly i used to play Honkai many years ago, but due to school and part time job and also already playing WoW at the time i had very little time to play Honkai Impact 3rd. But the moment they killed Himeko it litteraly nailed me so damn hard that i stoped play xD. But honestly even tough i don't play it anymore i still follow the story telling by watching streamers. But be warned, don't go believing that Genshin's story is all birds and rainbows, some of Genshin Impact's characters went through a lot during their childhood and some didn't even had the time to have Childhood, they also already killed some NPC that were actually very lovely and funny and not to mention, that as it's going on now, Genshin impact story is slowly but surely becoming more and more darker. You will soon enough realise it^^

If you want to get an idea of the story you can take a look at the chronicles. If you want to know more about this animation specifically you should look at Otto's chronicle.

I think Da Capo is the perfect way to feel the emotions that honkai can make you feel

Genshin definitely has dark moments, it's just less overt, and dispersed among the happy. That said the further the story of Genshin progresses, the darker it gets. Darkness is kinda expected in Honkai, but when it happens in Genshin it can be quite jarring. That said it's not as if it's a new thing in Genshin. Venti's story quest is pretty dark and that was released fairly early on.
