THIS IS BEAUTIFUL| Arknights 2024 Special Commemorative Animation PV REACTION

[@shadymann9468]

The guy who looked familiar to you was Kaschey AKA the Deathless Black Snake the one who kidnapped Tallulah.

[@georgieegames]

I THOUGHT HE DID I WAS LIKE IS THAT KASCHEY OR AM I JUST SEEING THINGS

[@shadymann9468]

@georgieegames there's also some characters that you haven't met yet but that just goes to show the amount of details packed into this fantastic yet short animation

[@Dr.SoloWing]

@@shadymann9468 I just realized those two Dukes there and... fk, Kaschey having fun in there while the rest of the world was burning always made me angry in this video, and now knowing who else was sitting in the same table did not made things better here

[@Piquliar]

Those 'historical figures' are the members of the Sarkaz royal court, the big wigs :v

[@georgieegames]

OHHH got it

[@slayerscarrow5818]

Second from left is achhhtually The Last Knight/Don Quixot

[@meirwind]

fun fact: the "where is our tomorrow" has another mean, the cn name for ak is "tomorrow ark"

[@T-M-F]

I think the feast is supposed to show the contrast between the world leaders living in luxury and comfort, and the people who live in fear of oripathy and losing their homes from catastrophes and how the leaders would further their own agenda even if wars and riots break out. Amiya said it best, "we are stuck in a grown-up's hellish paradise" The person who looks familiar to you is Kashchey who goes by a rather important and ominous title lol.

[@jinzerox]

In my opinion, "the feast" here also represent Terra, the lands, the power of nations (yellow war map is shown in the background when they are preparing the party). Those in power are playing their war games while normal people are suffering.

[@SPEEDY4004]

8:49 - lot of people missed out on the dead ones detail - though one little extra bit you overlooked - the foot at the bottom thats basically one scene - while the living walk behind amiya the dead ones walk in the same direction mirror-ed below that and the 2 stones in forstnovas scene which were a nice little touch too hmm the one scene I was thinking of wasnt in this - because of which I thought it was too much spoiler... still how nice too star with all the rich noble having a party while the world goes up in flames... there is no war in vic-to-ria mfg Olli

[@higorgabriel2598]

Whose foot is that?

[@Piquliar]

The way Mephisto's crazy smile leads to a teardrop before he disappears...

[@georgieegames]

i am heartbroken its so sad

[@selensewar]

Thanks, i never noticed that detail.

[@prometheus1815]

Heres some details I noticed watching the MV a bunch of times back then that you might've missed: 1:19 Seaborn being ashore in the beach. 1:25 Lungmen Secret Police on the rooftop 1:30 kal’tsit’s outfit changing based on the period and things she did in the past. 1:32 black and white drawing of child Eno and Sasha on one of the flashing images 1:49 Skullshatterer (on the left, likely representing Alex) exploding right as Amiya closes her fist. 1:51 Followed by Misha (on the right) donning his mask 1:59 Alina sewing with Talulah by her side. 2:01 Possibly Frostnova, when she was first saved by Patriot 2:02 the Laughing white haired dude is The Deathless Black Snake (Kashchey) 2:07 the things swinging in the BG is likely the pendant that Patriot got for Frostnova, for her protection. 2:18 Talulah, and a ghostly form of Alina hugging her back. Along with the names of the Reunion members in the background. 2:19 Talulah’s outfit also transforms just after Aline disappears 2:26 Amiya. Ch’en, W 2:27 Nearl Alter, (can’t recognize anyone else’s shoes)| 2:28 Chongyue, Shining, Mountain, Skadi, Rosmontis, Texas, Mudrock, Saria 2:30 Ace, Scout, Misha, Frostnova, Patriot, Outcast, Guard 2:32 Kal’tsit, Surtr, Goldenglow, Thorns, Angelina, Jessica, Lappland, Blacknight, Silence, Irene, Silverash, Pramanix, Exusiai 2:33 Names of everyone with Rhodes Island on the ground.

[@minori3539]

@prometheus1815 2:27 besides NTR knight we can see kal‘tsit‘s boots in the back left, with the green highlights and semi seethrough plastic part, then theres the white sandals from reed alter, with the bottom part of her outer dresses brown hem visible, the boots with the red shoelaces and the weird buckle are from stainless and I can‘t for the life of me figure out whose shoes the ones with the purple soles are, I thought it was an easy irene but it actually isn‘t. The ones in the back right are too blurry and basic to tell I think. Also at 2:32 I feel like the one you said was blacknight might be gavial alter, not really sure with the simple drawing style though, cuz her dirt green hair might look that way with the lightsource. You can see the cape that she wears in her e1 art, the character is shown to wear a crop top that ends on belly height, which blackknight doesn‘t wear but gavial does and the straighter longer hair also fits more with gavial, while blackknights hair is a bit shorter and drawn more puffier. Lastly besides silence as the only exception bc year one operator and saria right behind her, there are no 5 stars shown I think

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

'Outcast Playable When?!' Me: *Wants to send the meme of 'whos gonna break it to them'* But I waited lol

[@wenyiwu2628]

People don't know AK lores watching this animation: Laughing and praising People do know AK lores watching this animation: Crying and getting oh so emotional I love both kinds of reactions, but the latter always feels stronger. Thank you Geo for this great video!

[@Piquliar]

It really is a visual and auditory spectacle!

[@georgieegames]

ITS AMAZING I HAVE WATCHED IT A FEW TIMES NOW

[@Piquliar]

@@georgieegames Same, I've watched it a bunch of times now too and it just feels special, a magnificent work of art! (✿◡‿◡)

[@Ducklord-d3k]

this is the reason why everyone want you to watch it its just a masterpiece

[@georgieegames]

THEY WERE RIGHT

[@JM-nothing-more]

the shot of the infected woman at 0:36 in the original is based on a photo of a war victim that went viral earlier that year

[@chinthengfong1598]

She is based on Ukraine civil war victim

[@georgieegames]

Oh fr?? I had no idea, wow

[@JM-nothing-more]

@@georgieegames you can fairly easily find the original by reverse image searching a screenshot from the video

[@VCE4]

​@@chinthengfong1598it is not a civil war, it is invasion from russia

[@JM-nothing-more]

@chinthengfong1598 not a civil war, but yes, it's from Ukraine

[@capriumnoir6426]

"Truth is, I know as long as we live, our ideals dye rivers scarlet" is the most universal common denominator for the human race

[@Salim-RS]

This animation was just a masterful work of art, the symbolism and the callbacks and expecially the final bit with all the operators past and present, its just class.

[@enderek_723]

She really did watch lol

[@georgieegames]

I said I would hehe

[@galeria_m]

"I need to break this down... while having a breakdown" banger line from georgie as always

[@InquisitorAstelon]

The statues are the Sarkaz royal court members. You'll become much more familiar with what they look like later. The very first dinner shows the Dukes of Victoria. Two you can notice for sure are Duke of Caster and the Iron Duke.

[@georgieegames]

Ohh got it! Thanks :D I thought they did

[@gargutz907]

It's the victory feast after the war of four emperors when Gaul was destroyed. The flags with crests in the beginning: blue with lions for Victoria, Red eagle for Ursus, and black one we haven't seen in game but it was mentioned multiple times - it's the spiral of twisted horns for Leithainen under the Witch King. That's why there are not only cat people but goats and Kashey who is deathless from Ursus.

[@botcchidotcchi]

LAD, SHE FINALLY WATCH IT! I've been waiting this reaction video for so long

[@B2.Benedajenzo]

my fave scene is when the dead are walking but you see it in a flipped reflection with amiya's shoes on the bottom showing shes not stepping over the dead but the lost ones are walking with her still. this pv is so effing packed with details and especially combined with milis masterful writing genuinely amazing. -like the beginning dinner with the nobles but you see flickers of battleships and war plans and war flags in columns the nobles laughing and immediately after is shot after shot of poor civilians suffering. the blood stained world map, ripped dublin flag, reunion symbol in flames, babel logo. -a child looking up, next scene is pov from below with people beating you. like damn thats so realistic. -the faust scene with his squad firing the explosives crossbow (in the game saying its not a waste to respect the dead) -alina stitching talulahs clothes (ahhh memories) -children playing and she looks to the right then next scene is a firing squad aiming at the left -frostnova and amiya with the stage white rabbit black rabbit - amiya afraid but still going through patriots arms and i heard that at the end the operators walking and the names are just the developers favorite units and the more people that like that character the bigger the name shown

[@lynharth9947]

So glad you finally got to check this one out. Has got to be the best trailer made for Arknights so far.

[@Dr.SoloWing]

Holy shit... That dinner has not only Kaschey but also the Dukes of Caster and Wellington

[@MyFeuerFrey]

The meal is metaphorical representing the nobles and the politicians living their lives while the suffering goes on - you can recognize multiple people in that party from just outfits even if their faces aren't shown including Koschei. The party is also a dreamscape as it follows dream logic in the way how if you fall asleep hungry you might dream food but somehow the plates will remain empty so you will dream of awaiting food rather than food itself. So one could see it as Amiya sleeping in whatever dark place she was at the start of MV and dreaming of the world this way.

[@saeran_z]

yes, this is why we told you to progress a bit to watch this, because you'd literally see Outcast walking on the shadows of the people alive, literally saying that she died, LOL anywho, we feel like we just walked through Amiya's journey, all throughout the main story, through all the bad times (where she's on her lows) and the good times (even when the feels linger). Seeing her determined to face it all off against Patriot and just pass him and Talulah's fight actually gave me chills. in any case, please, anyone who comments, do not spoil her about things that are behind future chapters and such, anyway, splendid video, it's so good, lmao

[@VCE4]

5:05 The reference for this is a photo of woman after russian bombardment in Ukraine. Another reminder that Arknights is not that far out from our present reality. Not at all.

[@Petterwass]

The uniforms at the meal heabily suggests Victoria. I know that white dress for example is worn by the Duke of Caster

[@AW-ht1ly]

Theresa and the crown - you need to have completed the side quest, Babel and Chapter 14 Absolved will be the Seekers, to make sense of parts of this. This special was released a bit after the two aforementioned stories in China.

[@selensewar]

Something about Guard walking with his heroes on the other side gets me every time.

[@deathmarch4192]

Ahhh its finally here!! Came out while i was at work as usual 😅. I'd definitely recommend you rewatch the talulah part in slow motion!! There's so many details in this it's genuinely amazing. Like how after Amiya passes Frostnova "overcoming" her, we see Yelena smile just ahhhh

[@EXoDuZ302]

7:27 duke kashey, the person who "possessed" tallulah also the dude tallulah left pinned to his throne with a sword

[@Sir_Melon]

The day prophesied in the legends of old has finally arrived. Georgie finally watched the video

[@georgieegames]

I FINALLY SAW THE FAMED VIDEO WOO

[@Riasth]

When after facing Amiya, you can see clearly what left with Amiya is only sorrow, but Frost Nova passed with a smile, she know that her misery finally came to end, but an unknown future await Amiya.

[@Sae-k9e]

1:55 mephisto's crying... his sneer shifting to despair breaks my heart every time my best scene in this pv

[@veygusanima]

Yeah that intire Vod is just paine and happines in 1 big back. All the stuggel we went trougth, the wins...the losses. AK is just an AWSOME game!

[@darwinrodriguez5485]

"I have to break this down... While breaking down" I thought I was the only one who did that XD

[@ane157]

you finally reacted to it yay!

[@markjaspermarcelino9944]

I literally felt your pain 😭

[@Billy_Bat1993]

You need to watch Concept trailer 4. Really good to.

[@georgieegames]

:)

[@rei19A]

3:42 this is I think party of 3 nation after/before defeat Gaul??? Because I saw black snake and Iron Duke there, yeah while they are party a lot of innocent people suffer 😢

[@khol1611]

8:00 how you stop perfectly when FN smiling?! That's neat

[@cerberusserberus8488]

That bastard Kachney!!! 😭😭😭

[@NikkiTheViolist]

3:56 I just realized: I recognize this outfit. I...I don't know if you're at the point where she shows up yet; I don't think so

[@PsycotikAlwaysWatches]

MILI!!! RISE UP

[@georgieegames]

MILI ARE LEGENDS

[@alicjacaban2226]

this world is warhammer fantasy + anime.see Skavens trailer,curse of wampire Coast or rise of tomb Kings trailer.

[@Zihark92]

the one thing you missed is one of the characters showing up together with the dead ones you didn't notice, because it's still spoiler territory

[@sikyu9351]

Wait, was this animated by Hiromatsu Shu? I never watched this pv before but it looks a lot like his animation.

[@georgieegames]

I don't know but whoever it is, they are talented

[@sikyu9351]

@@georgieegames I just saw the credits, now I understand why people were recommending this to you lol. Hiromatsu Shu worked for a lot of animes. He did JJK’s op 2, Ranking of Kings op 2, op and ed for Chainsaw Man, Da Wang Rao Ming op 1, FGO’s memorial movie, etc. His animation style is just so beautiful and iconic.

[@khol1611]

*WHERE'S OUR TOMORROW?!*

[@qiart7637]

please, reaction to video "the daggers' inheritors". 🙏 that's the best animation too from arknights

[@kingzein7384]

Is the director the same guy from FGO Memorial Movie cause the style really similar?
