Arknights: Rise from Ember
Oshimeter
Synopsis
For years, Ch'en served as Lungmen's top enforcer, keeping order in a dystopian world where nomadic city-states drift across a disaster-scarred landscape. Then she drops a bombshell: she's Infected, carriers of the disease Oripathy who face brutal discrimination, and she's the sister of Talulah, the leader of the violent revolutionary group threatening to burn Lungmen to the ground. With an arrest warrant on her head and nowhere left to belong, Ch'en walks straight toward the one person she believes she has to stop herself. This 10-episode TV series picks up where the first Arknights season left off, and the shift in focus to Ch'en's personal reckoning gives it a tighter, more emotionally grounded arc. Rhodes Island, led by the idealistic Amiya, the enigmatic Doctor, and the ever-calculating Kal'tsit, gets pulled into the conflict, but the heart of the story is a sister trying to reach another sister across an ideological divide neither of them fully chose. The world-building here is genuinely layered, mixing fantasy races with political machinery in ways that feel earned rather than decorative. If you liked the moral weight of Attack on Titan's later arcs or the political chess matches in Code Geass, this hits a similar nerve. Yostar Pictures delivers strong action sequences backed by a soundtrack that knows when to pull back and let a scene breathe. It's dense, it's heavy, and it doesn't hand you easy answers.

Great fight scene highlighted by the excellent visuals. The episode ended the season in great way giving us a glimpse of what will their lives become in the future.
Great episode that before the final battle, highlighted by the consistent movie like visuals, and soundtrack.
Excellent visuals, that highlighted the story and plot. The episode finally revealed who Doctor is and their past.
Overall, its a good anime to watch.. Awesome visuals.. Superb animation.. Great story.. And the cinematic feel is perfect.
I honestly thought that this episode is a flashback, so much confusion but i did not mind that because of the spectacular visuals and animation.
The story really soars in this episode, making gou connect with each character. Not much action here, but a very good episode nonetheless..
Continuation of the previous flashback, this episode hits hard. Losing someone may make you lose yourself too.
Consistent movie like visuals, voice acting and soundtrack. The episode helped me understand who Talulah is.
The story gets deeper and more serious, with touching moments from the characters. Still awesome visuals and animation.
Im sorry, but i got a little sleepy with this episode. Although it provided a good action sequence and solid animation, it feels like its lacking an aspect to keep the audience excited.
Excellent visuals and soundtrack. The episode highlighted Talulah's back story.
Excellent visuals. I'm getting to understand the story now, and it's becoming interesting.
The visuals and animation are all insanely good. Character designs are almost generic, story is dark and serious. Actions sequences are almost felt like real.
This episode got me all confused, i know it's a backstory episode but the execution is so off. Transition of each scene is all crazy messed up, one scene is in the battle then the next scene is all far too different from the the previous scene where the characters were.. Cool opening theme though..
I haven't seen the previous seasons, the way this season starts off is the continuation of the last episode... The visuals are so stunning it got this cinematic vibe.. The action sequence is solid with details.. by far this is a good anime..
Great fight sequence highlighted by a consistent movie like visuals and soundtrack.
Consistent movie grade visuals and soundtrack. The story is becoming more understandable. Hoping to get more fight scene.
Movie like visuals, soundtrack and effects. Although the story or plot is a bit confusing due to the back and forth from flashback to the current timeline.
Fantastic visuals, it looks like a movie instead of a series. I don't understand the story yet but will continue watching.
Superb!! The emotional payoff for Talulah’s arc and the intensity of the final confrontation hit so hard. Ang ganda rin nung dawn sky transition, such a perfect visual metaphor. Easily one of the best finales this season!
