So is she dead? Judging from the blood spot, you wouldn't think so. But....

In to see how far this trainwreck goes down the rabbit hole..

[twisted-pisces]

Yes, someone answer this please, is she still dead in eps 18?

[serenade_beta]

It seems Isara really went to the other world... Hai............................................... .................................................. ..............................................

the game world version of the story?
lucky girl.....

[Wargumm1i]

So Isara died..... cant help but feel a bit sad and a bit relived. Reason why im sad is because she was deserved almost everything and was the only character along side Welkin who was innocent lol, also the reason why im a bit relived is because this might be a chance for Welkin too man up and Alice will try too fill the void and become a emotional support for Welkin which could bring them closer.

P.S YES I CAN BE AN EVIL MAN Muhahaha.

[serenade_beta]

Ah~ah... Whole episode about everyone glooming over Isara's death...
What a heavy atmosphere...
And the...
Isara in the ED...

Kind of awkward when Rosie started singing and the music (volume) suddenly went up, but it was a nice scene.

Welkin is as no good as ever, Faldio as great as ever. Tune in next time to find out if Welkin can retrieve his protagonist position!

I'm guessing she's singing for Isara, so it's good that they kept that in from the game.

War is fun, remembered it guys, war is fun!

This is a blow by blow review, the quality of the video I watched isn't very good, can't hear the Japanese very wll to translate it accurately.

Spoiler for episode 18:

-Yes, Isara is dead, no long good-byes, no last words. it just shows her coffin at the start. Which I'm kind of relieved, I was worried that it was going to start where it left off.
-Isaras funeral is sad...but for reasons beyond me, Welkin tells everyone quickly forget about it *Isara's death funeral...this makes Ramal ANGRY*, seems he wants everyone to just move on and keep on fighting.
-Emil+Oscar are searching in the grass for a present for Welkin, they know he likes insects so they go out during a rainstorm to find something to help cheer nature lover welkin up
-Welkin doesn't accept it...what the hell is up with this guy...I'm starting to hate him now
-We get our first glimpse at FINA the Medic!!..or was it Gina..or Mina...they're identical triplets anyway so I can't tell...
-Welkin has really become an uncaring guy it seems...he didn't cry at Isara's funeral, when he learned of her death and he's just...I couldn't keep watching after this so that's the review so far.

Maybe when I'm less angry at Welkin, I'll watch the rest of it, if you still want reviews :P

l'm just going to pretend l never wasted my time watching this tripe....

seriously 8 more f'ing episodes remaining and they have welkin acting like this...
l'm going to give the raw a go and end it at that... l don't know how the **** the game writers are happy with this pile of trash....

Just because you don't cry at someone's funeral doesn't mean you don't care.

Nevertheless this still doesn't excuse Welkin from his attitude but I'll watch the episode when it's out to get a better idea.

[Manji Midou]

*pops in *

hmm... the anime did something good for once O_o

Spoiler:

lsara's killer is killed, bwahahaha!!!
The rest of the episode is meh though.... so alicia confesses to welkin thatbshe likes him l presume and the fool says nothing.....and lulz so that's how faldio finds out alicia is a valkyrie l presume....

hmm, l was worried about the earlier post of welkin's lack of emotion regarding his sister's death...but yeah you can clearly tell her death is eating at him... no need to be an ass with the rest of the squad because of it welkin....

and OMG will they kill FINA as well?
the most dissapointing part of the ep is rosie singing to lsara with only ramal there, oh how they have fucking ruin some of the most touching moments in the game l say.

You can't stop watching this train wreak after so many episodes, we need to make it to the end.

Sounds like there's plenty more facepalms in this episode, directed at Welkin of course. Will give my thoughts when i watch the episode sometime tomorrow.

[Darknemo2000]

Welkin is so disgusting. Too bad one can't trade his life with Isara's. It would make much more enjoyable anime without Welkin and with Isara.

But he is the main character, isn't he?

[Snowman24]

Spoiler for episode 18:

If Fina gets killed as well, I will travel to Tokyo and start a 1 man riot....what happened to Vyse was already too much

Think the reason I keep coming back is to see if they're do a major 180 and the show will become better...but not happening yet.

Alicia is the main character. Welkin seems more like an annoying part of her love triangle rather than true main character. I terms of screen time and actions I would say Faldio looks more like main male in this anime (tough lately we are getting more focus on Welkin, too bad that it always shows how hopelessly retarded he is).

Maybe I should start catching up to the latest episodes now, but all the criticism this series has received recently is quite disheartening.

I guess after I'm done with this series, I'll have the perfect excuse to play the game all over again. Why, oh why are they not getting this series right when the source material is straightforward enough? Is it that hard? It boggles the mind, really.

[SoldierOfDarkness]

Okay

Spoiler:

Who here cheered when Faldio punched Welkin?

Come on you guys, raise your hands.

Haven't played the game in awhile but Welkin is really pushing it with his attitude.

I terms of screen time and actions I would say Faldio looks more like main male in this anime (tough lately we are getting more focus on Welkin, too bad that it always shows how hopelessly retarded he is)

Because the further he falls down the more dramatic it'll look when he stands back up......that's assuming if he does bother standing back up.
