Spoiler for game vs. anime comparision:

The game didn't even touch this part just skip it over. wow Alicia is a Valkyrie!. okay she is normal next chapter... no problem with people forcing her to be their ultimate weapon no further angst with being a literal 1 woman WMD other then "what do you do when people are worshiping you as their savior" in passing conversation and that is all.

Therefore the fact this episode actually touched on it and realistically portrayed what each side would do . I have given it the award of best valkyria Chronicles episode so far. Everyone in the squad is confused and so their concerns and being scared is easily possible. Damon wanting to use her Is just spot on in character. Though welkin's non punch was sadly missed everything else. from trying to see her and trying to tell her that he doesn't think differently of her seemed very game welkin.

I really wonder what people problem with this episode was or is it just cool to join in on the hate train?

Alicia's transformation was hardly skipped over in the game as you claimed, makes me wonder if you even paid attention. Following her transformation and the complete thrashing of an Imperial stronghold, Welkin would later confront Faldio in an entire chapter. Before assaulting an Imperial fortress in the following chapter, Alicia also shared her fears with Welkin while pretending to be normal.

On the other hand, Platoon 7 is family. Everyone was concerned for Alicia, but never outright fearing her. Why should they? Additional moments dedicated to this piece of the plot would also gradually reveal themselves over the course of the game. It is very unlike this bullshit construct we saw in the anime, period.
