Depressing episode is episode...lets just have a moment of peace for Isara....
... ... ... And I seriously can't believe people are dissing Welkin for this drastic character change on this matter. I thought the fact that he did completely change from this usual personality and NOT showing any emotions at all was a major hint how much he BROKE due to Isara's death. Oh he broke so much here...it was like watching someone trying to commit suicide but in a very slow manner. Even if he doesn't she it, he is really dragged down by guilt as he doesn't wish to see anyone die...which is unrealistic as Faldio pointed out...this is War afterall. But to have this happen to Welkin's sister is what pushed him over the edge. I am sure he wouldn't have cared "as much" if it was someone like Edy who died...but it had to happen to Isara who he loves the most.

I think the way Welkin was shown as cold, it was clearly understandable. However, I think it was a little overdone as people wrote before. Needless to say, having Faldio stealing the spotlight on this day again brought me over the edge again.

You know, when I think of what could have been with this love triangle, the first thing that came into my mind was that movie named Enemy at the Gates and I hoped it would turn on something like this for some good drama. Let's says it happens like this: Faldio falls for Alicia, but his feelings are unreciprocated, Welkin and Alicia get closer beyond return (which could have been this episode or before that), then Faldio falls into deep jealousy which leads him to strain his friendship with Welkin and betrayal at some point... before he realizes his wrongdoing leading to the ultimate sacrifice. Faldio should have earned at most the kind of spot Joseph Fiennes' character (Commisar Danilov) had in that movie, never risking to overshadow Welkin as main protagonist. I don't how to say it otherwise, really. |

Ok I cheer for Welkin so I don't care how cute Faldio looks. (and he DOES look, but I like Welkin hahahha)
Anyway I kind of expecting Welkin reacting that way. After all he is one of those characters who prefer to handle everything emotional with themselves and keep it inside of them. So I guess that, that would be his reaction and it didn't bother me. It showed how sad he was when he rejected Emil's gift...So... That is a good chance for some hugging from Alicia....

I don't hate anime Welkin, i just didn't like what they did with his character before this episode. As for Faldio, well yes i'd say i hold quite a bit of hate against his character. It is very irritating how much they're forcing his character onto the screen, making it seem like he can do absolutely everything, as we've seen so far.

well it was confirmed they killed my favorite character and the rest of the characters are about as interesting to watch as dirt blowing in the wind.
FALDIO PUNCH yes we all know how Welkin was acting and yes we all know he blamed himself but instead of understanding he punched him when he said the truth oh well

Ironic that Faldio was keeping Welkin from being harassed at the funeral, but finishes the episode by punching him in the face.

I was away for the weekend (and will be for the next few), but I have a short time where I'm able to write my thoughts on this episode.
