At this point in time, we can safely say that the game characters and anime characters are two separate entities. Lumping them together just hurts my brain. I love Sakurai as a seiyu, but the anime Faldio is just.... *facepalms*.

Aren't we talking about anime tough?
In anime he sure does not sound like a fallen hero. He at very least leaves much stronger impression than the wuss (aka Welkin). But one cannot call Welkin a fallen hero too - he never was up to begin with so he cannot be fallen. The only thing he bests Faldio out is that he gets Alicia in the midle of that random development. He does not even seem to have an authority when his squad starts acting stupid. |

Episode wise, this was an okay episode. There were an absence of tanks to what could've been a thrilling episode, but this episode seemed fine nontheless.
The Alicia x Welkin romance isn't really needed here in this episode especially since this episode is focusing more on action against the Marmota anyways.

GAH, WTF is with all the Painful ratings?! Is it just because Welkin and Alicia didn't get all cuddly yet?
You guys need to stop focusing on the game's moments and make your ratings on the episodes as a whole. I personally thought it was great in terms of animation and flow. Besides, in this case, I think a big "I love you" moment SHOULD come in at the end, not before the climax. It'll happen, I'm sure of it; even bad script writers aren't dumb enough to leave something as important as that out. They'd get fired for it. |

- no scene where Alicia is throwing her lance and preparing to die in a blaze of glory - no scene of Maximilian wants to retreats becaus he does not want to die in a Valkyrian Flame - Jaeger dies Spoiler for Maybe in episode 26:
Spoiler for Also maybe in Episode 26:
I marked the very important stuff which should have been shown because these scenes were essential in the game. Quote:

You gotta admit, that if even Father Hentai who's been defending this show for most of its existance has started to rage, that there's something wrong.
We'll know that it is beyond redemption when Runty gets pissed with the ending. We'll know it's some eldritch abomination that will destroy the universe by its very existance when serenade_beta criticises it even faintly. |

Well, it all comes down to a fans perspective if they like how the writers interpreted what to include or not include in the anime. From looking at the poll, it looks likes there are some that are enjoying the anime rendition.
Also, you have to remember that you win some and lose some when it comes down to how a favorite game is interpreted. From the looks of things, it looks like this is going to be one of those that did not get interpreted well. You could either take it as the writers underestimated how much of the game plot could be used or the writers overestimated their abilities in making their rendition of the plot of the game. |

When i do such rating, i don't bring the game material into mind, i'm just rating what i'm seeing as it's own story, and this episode was god awful bad in my opinion. I'd like it if you could respect my opinion the way i respect your opinion.

This crime can't be pardoned, even if as a person, Cordelia know Faldio as right to do that, as a princess she must to punish him. and an execution ordoned by military court is allowed. The place of faldio is in jail until the military court take a decision about him. |

Even if she try to avoid him to be executed, she can't just pardon him, free him restore his grade in the army. What will think the member of the army will do if they see someone who try to kill the princess free and leader of a unity? An attitude like this lead to rebellion and civil war. This event remind me code geass: cool attitude, WTF, but very illogical and incoherent. But, It's not the only incoherence and plot hole in the anime, even for some who did'nt know the game : Here are all the incoherence I notice since the first episode: -Why nobody know who is Isara in the second episode. She live to Bhrul since she was kid, Most of the villager must to know her. -Why Alicia is afraid to kill someone in the fifth episode, she participate to the battle of Vasel, she know what is war? -Why Alicia just ignore grade and don't want to obey to Damon in this episode and refuse to obey to Welkin and Faldio in the Fifth and the sixth episodes? In army it need to obey to orders. -How the princess didn't lose her Wig during her kidnapping? -Why did she her a wig under her hat? -Why Faldio did'nt shoot the princess who is know as a descendant of the Valkyrur? She had Silver hair, her lineage must be more pure than the one of Alicia. -Why nobody notice that Alicia have not returned from the faldio place when he shoot her? -Why nobody in the camp hear Faldio shooting Alicia? -How Faldio can cross a military camp with the princess as hostage? Nobody see him or try to shoot him? -Why Selveria who show Alicia many time before her fight didn't notice who she was? (She have'nt really changed) -Why nobody notice than the marmota approach Randgriz? -Why the unity didn't use the Edelweiss in the last battle? -How Alicia have survived to the sacrifice of Selveria? the power destroyed Selveria, Alicia must be dead -How Alicia can counter the Lance fixed on the Marmota? It's many time more powerful than her lance and she is wounded |

I kinda have a mixed opinion about this episode.
On the one hand, as part of an anime series it was pretty good. A lot more action than in most episodes and some decent suspense regarding Jaeger at the end. Not much to complain about at all, aside from everyone's hero Faldio arriving in the nick of time to save the day AGAIN (seriously, enough already). As an adaptation though I'd have to say it was pretty bad. I'd heard this was supposed to focus more on the characters but they went and cut out one of the most important character-based moments from the game. There's still a chance for a similar scene to be inserted in the next episode but if that does happen, I kinda have to wonder why it was cut here in the first place. That's pretty much the main thing I don't get with the series: why change plot points that were perfectly dramatic and exciting in their original form? Especially when some of the time they end up being resolved in the same way anyway (e.g. Skipping the Batomys fight only to have it destroyed in the exact same way at Naggiar instead, what was the point?). Note: That's mostly a rhetorical question, please don't respond with the millionth post saying "because the writers are idiots". Have seen enough of those for a lifetime already. |

As for threating her highness. Faldio gambled high and Cordelia knew about it. She whitnessed herself the "birth" of Alicias as Valkyria and she also knows what Faldio is going through. He already has the highest punishment which is not jail but living with the fact that he has lost his unit through a miscalculation of the situation, shooting at a beloved person and that he was to loose a beloved friend. As she is the countries representative, she has the right to decide what right is or wrong. Since it was Faldios theory that saved a lot of people she has the right to pardon him. As you mention code geass. I haven't seen it to be honest. But I have counter examples. 1. Record of Lodoss war: Parns dad, Tessius, who has got striped from his ranks although he deserved higher discipline, because he saved Fawns daughter from an allied nation and it was forbidden to save her. Tessius acted against this order and saved his daughter. 2. National Treasure 2: Ben Gates, who has kidnapped the president to retrieve the Book of the Presidents. He also got pardoned at the end.

Drei-Wetter-Taft Hairspray Stupid scene in VC anime because she seldomly leaves the castle. If someone speaks to the nation, it's actually her chancellor. Quote:

Another reason can be that she requested to stay in the camp. Because Tanks are noisy and they are in the middle of a battlefield? But you are correct. Someone may have heard it if they weren' t all to busy. Quote:
Quote:
That is what is in question. From game side. Damon was a total idiot gathering all regular troops together. Selveria wiped them all out in a blaze of glory with exceptions of some militia troops and Squad 7. Because tanks can be a hindrance in urban fights. Urban fights without a tank is more flexible and therefore the Edelweiss is kept behind. Quote:
This really was stupid in episode 25
