Spoiler:

going from the pic...it seems that asshole made her cry already not really sure o.0
poor selvy...he dun deserve ur wuv!!

For a second there I thought we might get a Cordelia x Faldio ending, but I might be overthinking things, haha!

[Snowman24]

Best part of this episode was the whole "Fighting" scene.

Spoiler for funny:

Which didn't really have alot of punches thrown...there was slapping, biting, choking, grappling but very few punches. Lol, Karl got slapped the most.

[Runty]

Well, this episode certainly changes around a lot from the game, judging from the screencaps from 2chan. I mean, Cordelia exonerating Faldio is a new one, and so is Welkin getting the crap beaten out of him by the Regulars (at least, I think that's what happened, but I can't really tell).

Methinks the Battle of Ghirlandaio is where this thing's gonna end. Of course, I could be wrong (again).

I still haven't actually seen the episode, so I'll have to wait until then to post a proper review.

[Snowman24]

I really don't see how they gonna finish everything that needs to be done, or was atleast done game wise in just 3 more episodes...unless they either go past 26 episodes or skip out alot of parts

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep23:

Good episode. Though I'm still curious how they plan to end everything... I don't have a problem with the pacing though. Next week is a flashback of the valkyrias in that laboratory and the fight? And then...
Well, worrying about it now doesn't get anything done...

Wonder what was with Faldio's reaction to the conversation between Alicia and Cordelia...

The end... The previous episode, this episode, recently, the end of the episodes are overdramatic.

Still, is there any point in bringing an entire army? One valkryia can kill them all in a hit and all...

ISARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Voice Actor: It's been a while since I got a turn...

I wonder if it was a gag... The part where the soldiers toss Welkin on the floor and then places him on wood boxes as "better treatment".
The fight was funny. Especially Welkin's punch.
Though the best part was the sponsors at the end...
They repeated the slapping scene.

Preview: Death Flag

[Sassarai]

Wow either watching this ep RAW made it really awful or it's just plain awful.
I give it half a Fabio star.


Was that slapping part at the very end preview for reals? If it is then that was so unprofessional. Makes you think the creators take the show as a joke themselves.

[Father Hentai]

just a f********g filler eps :/

[HunterSeeker]

Finished this episode with subs. Still a decent one.

Spoiler:

WELKIN! I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR YOUR PUNCH! Those bastards really deserve that. She's not a monster.

From this episode's title, it certainly builds up how the two Vals------Alicia and Selveria------express their love towards their loved ones: one tries to protect them from harm while bearing all by herself, another is preparing to sacrifice herself in order to achieve victory.
And after those confusions in the last episode 7th is finally making up their minds to get back their friend. Which is a good thing------her reunion with them will be a more built-up one.

Next: If all's right then we'll see a certain pig die here. Along with Selveria.
And the beast will come up on Ep25.

[Deathkillz]

Spoiler:

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Selvaria better not die here next week or I will be going BAWWWWWWWW ;_; for the whole day. I don't care who they kill off now, just don't do it to Selvaria ;_;

And really, I enjoyed this episode. The pacing was fine and content wise it was still interesting. The fight was hilarious with the guys of the squad getting a bitch slappin' and then Welkin does the most hilarious knuckle sandwich to the bastard higher up guy who deserved it very much

[justavisitor]

watched the subs..pretty good, but I feel a bit too bland so 8/10

The reason why I am feeling the episode is a bit too bland:

Spoiler for spoiler:

We have to wait another episode to see Welkin X Alicia..sigh..it's like an eternity for me..now Welkin has to find ways to make it into an equation after got promoted/demoted into a security bodyguard

I seriously hope I will see Welkin x Alicia soon...but the things have been going, it will possibly not happen in ep 24 (just a guess)

Lastly, those members from the 7th squad are too...abnormal..one episode they were insulting Alicia, and in the next episode they complain why Alicia never returns any mails...you don't need an enemy when you have this kind of comrades around you

[Zwei]

I wonder how Alicia overpowered Selvaria. I mean I get it the first time maybe Selvaria was surprised, got confused and tried to proect Maximilian, but Selvaria has way more fighting experience as a Valkyria and knew she was one all her life. She shouldn't beat her now, unless Alicia is some kind of "special" Valkyria.

DEEN staff 1: Eh...
DEEN staff 2: What's this guy talking about...?
DEEN staff 3: ...............(;O_O )

[Sassarai]

You didn't see poor Karl get slapped 18 times instead of 3 times after the ending preview o_O?




edit: Maybe it was closer to 20 times.

They didn't actually insult Alicia, they're just can't cope with the fact that she's a Val and hence how they should treat her.
Though, one can argue that it's an insult already......

I think you misunderstood me...

You called the staff "so unprofessional" as if you actually knew what they were thinking just because they made a joke in the sponsors, so I brought up DEEN, who almost always played a joke or two during their sponsors section in Umineko no Naku Koro ni.

PS: There is no way I didn't see it when I mentioned it in my post...

same here! I don't want that to happen.

[Snowman24]

shame they didn't have Lynn in the anime, she would of defended Karl or saved him from getting bitch slapped or maybe even double teamed one of those officers with him
