She plays a vital role in the game an yet the anime ignores her as if she was a support character.

I´m not liking this because it causes missconeptions if i´m not mistaken you thought that Isara wasn´t an important character and 'people only wanted to see more of her because of her Seiyuu right?

The point is that the anime hasn't done anything wrong as an anime (besides, maybe having quick action scenes that end too quickly). It seems that, most of your complaints are not what they did wrong, but simply stuff they did differently. Like, "this isn't how it is in the game".
For instance, sure, Alicia might have a different personality, Isara isn't getting as much screentime, but how are the anime-watchers supposed to know that? But since you played the game, you do not like how they choose to do things differently. But I think it is difficult to consider those parts as the anime itself doing anything wrong, as a separate story/thing.

Epic win!

It wasn't that much admittedly.

And so makes this the 4th good episode in a row. I am really enjoying this series so far and seeing how time always flies when watching this, I consider it captivating more or less. Even in an episode with minimal fighting, it still is interesting enough to easily hold your attention. Though they really should begin to introduce the rest of the cast squad soon...I see a few characters that stick out from Alicia's side and it would just be a shame to have them stay silent for the rest of the series

Seen Maximilian and Selvaria scene in this ep. I thought, are they like Lelouch and C.C. (Code Geass) ? The funny part is that I couldn't realize that playing the game (probably because I heard the english dialogs) but hearing Maximilian's voice the first thing I said was "huh ?" in the best Metal Gear Solid serie style. In fact I gave a look above my head to see if the virtual interrogation '?' sign had also appeared.
Anyone else had a similar experience ?

Well, in the game Maximilian was a ...

Spoiler for Valkyria Chronicles PS3 game:

bastard !

in both literal and figurative senses.

I hope the anime changes a few of Selvaria's choices, the chances are quite slim though.

Yup, i think that would have been sufficient, but they included that weird intro with the lighting and everything when they were telling us about him...eh, i guess it's really not that bad xD

Jun Fukuyama voicing Maximilian is so overated. Now Matthew Yang King, Max's English voice actor is way cooler since Matthew also voiced Illidan Stormrage.

Between a weak smartass teenager who hypnotizes people or a thousand year Blind Night Elf turn Demon, you can tell who's the true winner.

I find it funny how nobody in the regular army dons helmets. They all had them in the game.

Of all Illidan's awesomeness, he sure had his ass handed to him. To add salt to injury, he ended up hypnotizing himself into believing that he was the winner of the duel. Never mind that he cowered like a little pet before his master.

Between a smartass with a clear intention backed up by wits, or, a prideful Night Elf turned Demon, a coward who is not only blinded physically but mentally? You can tell who is the true winner.

On the other hand, if voice actors represent the power levels and awesomeness of characters, then may I nominate Masako Nozawa as the winner?

Actually, we're hearing it for a evil Watanuki ordering a somber Yuuko around. Oh, and he's Johnny from MGS. Yes, that Johnny. Having Johnny command Solid Snake and Big Boss is epic.

Not too mention backpacks, armour and ammo pouches.

You can tell where the graphic budget is getting cut.

Just started watching Valkyria Chronicles and I just finished watching the fourth episode. So far the story is good (I wasn't bored or anything). I like all the characters so far--especially Faldio! XD His interactions with Alicia was very nice and lolsome to watch . Shall continue watching tomorrow.
