Wasn't it called for because Fabio tried to punch some sense into Welkin who thought it was his fault that Isara died?

Fabio was like

" Listen, do you think you're a superhero like me who can save everyone with speeches, super human reflexes, good looks, etc?"

*punches Welkin"





Gotta put Welkin in his place!

how restarted that sounds?

hell, alicia appears to be one of crappy lead characters i've watched in a while. she started well but as the series progress, she's becoming a 14-year old annoying witless love-freak
If maybe she followed up her confession by saying that was why she is so worried about him and that he didn't have to carry the burden alone it might have worked out.

But no, she gets all embarrassed and runs out after Welkin turns away from her with nothing to say.

This also pisses me off because it was Welkin who made the confession in the game and it was my favourite part of the game. I suppose I could be happy now though because it means they won't butcher that scene for me now.

That's pretty much the only thing the game and anime share...

Well Isara was the best character in this anime.She was kind,always thinking about the others.She spoke openly and didn't want to be treated by Welkin differently even though she was his sister.All she ever wanted was to see everyone together and happy.And then she died....So this was indeed sad

I haven't played the game but if there the characters were developed more like hers, the anime would have been a lot better.

And what Alicia did was plain dumb.If she cared so much about him she should have conffesed in episode 16 where they had that talk with Welkin.I mean it was obvious there he wouldn't say anything more so he doesn't hurt his best friend's (who to thank him for all that and help him through this horrible moment punched him in the face) feelings.Come on who can confess at a time like that?You seriously think the person suffering would go"Yeah the hell with my sister,she's already dead anyways.... let's go make babies".You've got to be really crazy to think of something like that.Of course she could say she's worried about him and that he doesn't have to carry the burden alone and all but I think he would have said to leave him alone anywas since that's waht people do in those kinds of moments...suffer on their own.I mean Welkin could show his emotions only to a dear friend and none of his subordinates-thus the only choice was Faldio...and you all know what happened there.

You know what I'd like to see now?Welkin shoothing himself.That will be so awesome.Let's see what everyone else will do when that happens.Qutohing Alicia "I don't care about Welkin" and Faldio punching him...he's got nothing right now.I'd love to see how those two idots will react in that case

And I'm guessing most people skip my posts since the're too long

If Welkin shoots himself, then Faldio can save the country like he was always meant to do, and there'd be no obstacles infront of him for Alicia...

-gags himself-

Yeah thats pretty much the only effects it would have. Though some say Welkin is great at war strategy stuff, there aren't that much scenes to behold that and you know that in the end Faldio can do it better anyway, simply because the script-writers wet in their pants at the sight of his glorious self.

That would make some sense, but script writers decided that Valkyria Chronicles doesn't need any logicial or reliable plot. Tsundere female protagonist + emo male protagonist + superhero male protagonist + a few secondary tsundere characters + some mysstical mojo + super special machine (they still didn't turned Eldweis into mecha - I'm suprised) + shojo love triangle is good enought to replace reliable characters and interesting plot.

Disclaimer: I didn't played the game, I've just read first volume of manga and that was enought to notice how crapy adaptation that show is.

The only way i will get back to this series is when they decided to show Marina headshotting someone with her sniper, at least do it like in the manga.
such a shame, it was my most anticipated title before, now it's the biggest disappointment of the year.

I think some Haruhi fans may have a different opinion on which anime is the biggest disappointment of the season, though.

Yes but that's a second season; maybe people realized Haruhi isn't as good as they originally thought?

At any rate at least they got another season...

/fmp! fan

Haruhi is less of a disappointment and more what you get when trolls get called Executives and wear suits holding suitcases full of money.

FMP got two extra seasons at any rate. You'll get another one eventually so no complaining. :P

Yeah for hot medic girl Fina! (Well, I think it's her. Fina is the one who tends to squad 7 in her game stats)

Nothing major really happened at this time in in this episode, so the whole Welkin x Alicia thing was solved the one episode. Even though the directors solved Welkin and Alicia's problem pretty quickly, somehow it fits well.

I just thought I'd let everyone know, that not only did he loose his best tank driver/machanic. He lost his sister and has no remaining family alive as far as I've heard. But noone has a heart to realize that. You all think its great if he died. I am sorta disgusted really. But I keep that to my own opinion.

He even had to stand there an listen to that 1st squad guy drill him for her death. Like he doesnt know his sister is now brown bread. Maybe I was the only one to noticed he had a victory smile until he was informed of the causualty. Really unsure how shes going to get replaced, she knew just about everything on the Edelwis, maintance, repairs and its design. Unless Welkin has blue prints to the Edelwis, I dont see how any other machinic is going to be as good as Issar was. Or familia with driving it

Apart from that, I thought Rose acted a little too slow, shes lucky to be alive too. The soldier could of turned them both into brown bread. Its like it took rose awhile to realize she been shot, Maybe she didnt hear the gun fire ?

Another thing, I've always been curious to think if in this anime we would be seeing squad 7 casualties. I guess this episode shows it.

And finally, The glowing kryptanite probably would of been enough to confirm my suspicions Alicia was somewhat Valkyria blooded.... but oh wait, the 2nd OP already spoiled me on that. Just great.......
