the arknights besties haven't said anything yet but. viviana and virtuosa are lesbians. they're sapphics. they're going through the horrors together and they're going to kiss each other on the mouth once they're in my account.

arknights 4.5 anni stream recap
haven't seen anyone put a full recap anywhere, which is a shame because there's so much going on in this one! so i'll be posting everything you might have missed in text-form, for anyone who wants that kind of summary.
credits to @AK_CN_Shitpost on twitter and Kazdel Team on youtube for translations/hosting, community members in my discord, and my friends on twitter so i know whats going on. putting this under a readmore because it'll be long:
stream starts off with 4.5 anni congratulation messages from several CN VAs, including:
Kal'tsit
Passenger
Chongyue
W/Frostleaf
Ho'olheyak
Myrtle
Ifrit
Mudrock
Ines
Executor
we get a PV featuring Viviana and Arturia about a new event taking place in Leithanien. we're getting several new ops, including:
Bassline, a 5* Guardian Defender
Lessing, a 6* Dreadnought Guard
Viviana, a 6* Arts Fighter
and Arturia the Virtuosa, a Limited 6* Ritualist Supporter.
her e2 art, like all other limited operators, will have Live2D.
the new event will be called Zwillingstürme Herbst (roughly something to do with the fall and possibly the twin empresses)
new skins for several operators! it's an epoque line this time. theme is "Life," and keywords are "Past/Story".
Gwiazdcytro (Meteor), Noon Twilight (Absinthe), Lances Off (Ashlock), Royal Guard (Bagpipe)
two new animated Live2D skins:
Wdali (Mlynar); the text says "'Fear neither hardship nor darkness'... Ah, an era that is not worth remembering, a dream which is too awake." (credit to @/lingtranslates on their twitter for this translation)
Wingbreaker (Texas the Omertosa)
there's a new QoL update: players will now be able to auto-farm stages up to a maximum of 6 times per run
new red cert shop operators
new archive drops for operators, including:
rosa
arturia
diamante
czerny
santalla
shalem
new operator modules:
mudrock
penance
vulcan
lessing
nearl the radiant knight
bassline
bagpipe
new themed furniture sets:
there's a brief overview and explanation of the new operator skills and gameplay, but i won't go over that here because there's still a lot to get to. however, gamepress usually releases a review on these operators after release, and youtubers like kyostinv will upload showcases pretty quick after they drop, for people who are curious about them
there's a very cute PV about kjerag! it goes into the history of the country and some cultural celebrations about kjeragandr, as well as development of the country and such. it's pretty cute (and sorta wes anderson-ish)
AK is adding a german and russian dub for their lethanien and usran characters, respectively
we'll be getting a new event in rim billiton with amiya and the dr
new sargon-related teaser
we're getting more reclamation algorithm! this time you'll have the ability to "save" and not have to restart from the ground up every time it seems
we got a teaser about the next sui sibling! from @AK_CN_Shitpost:
Next spring event will take place in an agricultural production city, Zuo Le who is sent to rest got involved in farming issue. So the next spring event will involve Zuo Le and possibly the agriculture Sui brother?
there will be another R6S collab. supposedly we're also getting a rerun for Operation Originium Dust, but this will also involve a new collab event.
other assorted notes:
new trailer about a cute, comedic series that involves ceobe, popukar, ethan, bubble, and mountain update: it is called kay's daily doodles! a translated trailer has been uploaded to the official EN AK account here
perish in frost trailer (CN dub)
AK artbook announcements: Arknights Animation Artworks Vol. 1 and Arknights Official Artworks Vol. 3 are being released, with Vol. 3 being teased with an art of the 3 abyssal hunters(!!!)
release of a book that seems to be about the in-universe lore and worldbuilding of Terra, including maps and wildlife
a new manga about Silverash and Gnosis's pasts
release of the first 123 Rhodes Island?! volume, along with new merch featuring Kal'tsit, Rosmontis, Amiya, the Doctor, Blaze, and Ch'en
official boardgame. looks like you will be able to collect supplies, build or move shelter?, and there's various cards with different operators on them (we were shown Liskarm, Kal'tsit, Silverash, Dorothy, and W cards). it is called Nomad City: The Founders.
new figures: 1/7 scale figures of Angelina and Mostima (Fitness Time Ver.) prototypes, 1/7 scale Kal'tsit figure, THRM-EX figure prototype, mini figure prototypes of Lessing, Virtuosa (Arturia), and Viviana, as well as 6 more designs of those character-in-a-recruitment-bag figures of- rhine labs edition! featuring Muelsyse, Magallan, Dorothy, Silence, Ifrit, and Saria.
IchibanKuji x Arknights collab Gunfire in Darknights featuring Amiya and Ch'en (Londinium sprites) on the promotional artwork.
AK Cafe with Chongyue, Ines, and Goldenglow on the promotional artwork in Shanghai and Chengdu next year (AK X PrismLand), called Sweet Zone
AK collab with the Nanyue King Museum (yes, really)
new merch promo that shows what looks to be different plushies (originium slug, chibi nian in dragon(?) form, bunnies), character-in-a-recruitment-bag sora, and figures of Eyjafjalla (swimsuit skin ver.), Shining, and Amiya (these are not new, it's probably a sale or a re-run of some kind)
lowlight breaks eggs with the lethanien icon on them. with a giant hammer. yeah
promo for something that's called My First Story, looks like it's an animated song PV featuring W, Amiya, and Kal'tsit
lore about The First Catastrophe and a timeline of Terran history. the twin empresses are revealed to be Hildegard and Lieselotte (yes, really); the witch king is Herkunftshorn
there's some more extra goodies (like a Monster Siren Records promo, what looks like a new season of CC, a new Joint Action banner with Mizuki, Suzuran, Surtr, and Pozyemka, new ops now available in recruitment like Flint, Eunectes, and Acid Drop, a new free skin - maybe from a record restoration? - for Flamebringer) but i think i'll hit tumblr's picture limit if i include all of those.
that's a wrap!
(shoutout to discord user @/nobowo) who also gave a short stream recap in my arknights LGBT discord server)

Thought I'd go ahead and go over what future banners are appealing to me in particular. As of now, the Shu banner already gave her to me from free rolls (heck, I just got a second copy of her from yesterdays free roll XD) and while I was considering sparking Ling after the coming Summer banner (well, more the event in general really) is vomit-inducing, that did push me more into the "go for it" side...but getting Shu from free pulls pulled me into the opposite direction HARD, so I think I'm just gonna skip this one and spark Ling next year. Not like I really need her that much, her summons eat up a lot of deployment slots after all.
So what's after that? Well, we kinda skipped over Reed Alter rerun, so that's probably gonna be some time after Shu event ends, but...I already lucksacked into her, and even if I didn't, she was gonna be my 6* selector pick, so that's an easy skip regardless.
R6S is...not a franchise I'm remotely familiar with (Neither was Monster Hunter, though the fact that the characters part of that collab were existing AK characters, that already makes it more appealing even if Yato Alter wasn't as bonkers as she is) so I'm most likely gonna skip both of those banners. Really don't care how good Ela is, I can't really be bothered to hype myself up for her.
Ascalon I'm definitely hyped up for! She had a bit of a rough debut, but as time went on, people are definitely warming up to her (not me, I was already planning around pulling for her XD) so she's definitely high priority there!
Walter and Logos I'm probably gonna pull for. As of now, I have well over 300 pulls, and I should still have at least that much even after Ascalon if pulls for her go south. W has always been one of my favorites, though her initial version is very...lackluster. Logos...okay, don't really care that much for men (sorry to all you man lovers) and Logos is no exception, but he's still very good, so I wouldn't be opposed to getting him, just like Mlynar.
Ulpianus...I mean, I just said I don't like men that much, and unlike Logos, he doesn't seem very essential for me (or sharing a banner with someone more appealing for that matter), so that's a skip.
Executor Alter, same as Ulpianus.
Nymph...will most likely be after Summerversary, but I'll talk about her next anyways. It's funny that her primary use is not the point of her archetype in any way, also she has kind of the same type of purple hair Ascalon has, maybe a bit brighter, but I initially thought that I didn't need her that much...then we saw what the summerversary event was like, and as much as I'd like to spark Eyjaberry, I feel icky doing it on that banner, so I might just pull for Nymph anyways. Oh, I also do have Virtuosa, so I might see use out of Nymph's s3 as well, we'll see.
Finally the summerversary banner. I already talked about it a bit two seconds ago, but yeah, not really feeling like pulling on it. The amount of cultural appropriation in that event is just nauseating, and hearing Pepe's theme is just...gag. I'm sorry Namie, but this is your biggest miss yet.
