Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

"Cousin Anna?"

"That's what Xilin said instinctively."

Upon hearing the title "Sirin," viewers in the live stream couldn't help but wonder who this Anna Shaniat was in real life, given that she was featured at the beginning of the promotional video.

"Your Majesty, do you know her?"

“I know her. According to seniority, I should call her sister. She’s a relative from my mother’s side,” Xilin replied honestly.

No wonder.

The audience's doubts were immediately dispelled.

Cecilia's relatives, aren't they Yaqing's relatives?

As the chief director and writer of the Honkai Impact series, this is perfectly normal.

[A flash of white light appears on the screen, revealing Durandal and Raiden Mei standing opposite each other in the ice layer in the promotional video.]

"Youlandel..."

"Raiden Mei, can you still fight?"

This promotional video is very short.

It is highly likely that because it was released online, it did not use trailers to pique the audience's curiosity like movies released in theaters.

After all, you don't even need a VIP membership for the first few days after it went live.

"I'm a little curious, will Dugu and Mei actually fight when they meet?"

This question was posted on the Honkai Impact 3rd official website forum.

The debate continues below.

After the promotional video was released, many viewers were generally confused.

They never imagined that one day the anime movie would choose not to be released in theaters, but instead be released online.

"Judging from the ice crystals in that scene, unless it's Kevin, the Fifth Herrscher must be related to ice."

Alicia went live for the first time in a long time to watch the promotional video for the Honkai Impact series anime.

Today, the special guest in Miss Pink Fairy's live stream is Mei.

When Mei appeared on the live stream, many viewers mistook her for Mei. Fortunately, Alicia quickly explained and introduced her, making the fans realize that Mei and Mei are two different people.

"Herrscher of Ice? Such a cool ability, why doesn't she have a Divine Key?"

"Yeah, it would be so cool to make it into a katana or a longsword!"

“Each Divine Key has a different purpose. It’s possible that the Divine Key representing the Herrscher of Ice is not for combat purposes, just like the Thousand Realms One Journey that Otto and Kevin mentioned.”

The analysis is based on Mei's habits.

Alicia had long been curled up on the sofa, lazily enjoying her little cake.

It might not even be its own.

After all, she had two identical cakes in her hands.

Chapter 302, "Collapse: Frost Melts into Rock Crevices," Premiere

Movies released online are different from those released in theaters. After confirming the release date on the official website, the days passed and the release date of "Honkai Impact 3rd: Ice Melts in the Rock Crevice" gradually arrived.

Inside the Golden Courtyard.

"The last time I watched a movie in the courtyard was the last time."

Kevin sighed.

Home theaters are rarely entered; usually, it's the robots built by Velvet that come to clean them, except for things like today.

"Pure nonsense,"

Yaqing and Mebius sat next to Kevin.

"Excuse me~?" Alicia, carrying two large buckets of popcorn, walked past the crowd and sat down next to Eden.

The lights in the home theater were turned off, plunging the theater into darkness.

Only the large screen in the center shone with light.

"The movie has started."

The taciturn Kosmo spoke a word that hadn't been spoken in a long time.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the screen.

[Movie begins.]

This is a background introduction.

Thirty minutes after the Honkai Impact 30rd, Durandal led the "Undying Blade" to the battlefield, and the camera panned to the outskirts of the city.

While reporting the mission progress to Durandal, Alvitt is also revealing to the audience, allowing them to more accurately understand the background and premise of this film.

"The Undying Blade, the battle begins!"

Upon hearing that Aylvit would hand over the Herrscher to the World Serpent as an ally of Schicksal after its discovery, they immediately thought of Mei, whose Lament for the Sinner had left a deep impression on them.

"World Serpent? Does that mean Mei will have another chance to make a move? Since becoming a Herrscher, aside from domestic violence, I haven't seen Mei truly fight."

"Have the Destiny and the World Serpent become this close?"

Because the movie was released for free online for the first week, Xilin was openly streaming the movie to fill up her time, and the viewers in the live stream didn't seem to have any complaints.

"Who knows, Kevin seems to have lost his lover in the story as well. What if the two widowed old men hit it off?"

Xilin complains.

This elicited laughter from the viewers in the live stream.

Just as Durandal and Rita were about to eliminate the remaining Honkai Beasts on the bridge, crimson lightning descended from the sky, thrilling the audience.

The lightning gradually dissipated, revealing someone they knew best.

"That entrance was so cool!"

Xiao Shi couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Cool!" Kosmo gave a thumbs up.

Most viewers shared the same sentiment as the two men; this entrance accompanied by lightning descending from the sky perfectly matched their aesthetic preferences.

After Raiden Mei and Raven, as members of World Serpent, met with Durandal and Rita, Rita was still resentful about being ambushed by Raven last time.

The sarcastic and confrontational exchanges didn't last long; they couldn't afford to waste time there.

After confirming their partnership, Mei and Raven went through the tunnel and met up with Owl, another member of World Serpent.

While searching within the city, they stumbled upon an ice pillar on a tropical island. Through the combined efforts of the three members of World Serpent, the ice pillar shattered, revealing a figure inside.

The audience, who were laughing out loud at the combination of Rita and Raven, Raven and Owl, were surprised to see the final boss of the movie appear so simply.

"This is... the Fifth Herrscher?" Bronya observed carefully and made some guesses about the Herrscher's abilities.

"That's not right. The movie has been going on for 20 minutes already, why hasn't Anna, who appeared in the trailer, shown up yet?" Seele asked, puzzled.

“Seele, perhaps… we have already met.”

Kiana didn't say much.

From her expression, Seele could tell that she meant the Fifth Herrscher in disguise was Anna.

Seele was unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Because the three people sitting next to her were all "Herrschers".

Naively, she thought Anna would also join the main characters and fight against the Honkai as a Herrscher.

The moment the Fifth Herrscher emerged from the ice pillar, Night Owl began loading the Staff of the Underworld. The Herrscher let out a long howl of agony, her body struggling as if in excruciating pain.

"The battle begins!"

With Raiden Mei's command, the audience expected an earth-shattering battle to erupt, but unexpectedly, the Herrscher simply ran away.

Mei wanted to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by Night Owl.

Viewers who used their brains quickly realized something was wrong; the Herrscher's pain didn't seem to be acting, and she seemed to be genuinely struggling with some kind of creature in her mind.

Lawyers are also human.

No one denied this definition.

They believe that Herrschers also possess emotions, and similarly, based on this belief, they speculate about the true identity of the Herrschers.

"Could it be..."

Mei had already guessed it.

"Shh." Yaqing made a shushing gesture.
