Honestly if the rest of the cast have their characters raped like Alicia's I can see VC's anime turning into a slow moving train-wreck. Which is annoying because if the anime became successful there'd be even more chance for a VC 2.
In the game she's calm, rational, intelligent, brave and caring, only really getting annoyed when Welkin does something stupid... like compare her to a (beautiful in his mind) bug. Here she's just bloody Louise with more tits and fewer brain cells.
So long as Welkin becomes more assertive in the next few episodes he won't be too much of a break from character...

Also, to those complaining about how those two militia kids don't make sense... well sure, how they're portrayed doesn't. But the game has, in her own words, "Shhhuuuupa Aaiishaaaa!", 12 years old with a machinegun and a flamethrower.
When the Gallians say "Universal Conscription" and "all levels of schooling have militiary training" they MEAN it. Primary seems to be basics, Secondary appears to be specialisation, and Tertiary is Officer training. Which is why the depiction of the Bruhl Watch seems so stupid... then again, this is the pre-WWII era, so standard military doctrine probably didn't include the part about ensuring you can retreat safely from a situation.
