Hmm the Gallian's side, well... to my pleasant surprise, Welkin, Faldio and Alicia's designs are not so bad afterall. They've bishounized Faldio alot but that's alright considering his gentleman character. Seems like they left Isara Gunther's spot still blank. So
from Gallia, Welkin, Alicia, Isara and Faldio will make their debut first. Largo and co. will soon follow I suppose. While on the Empire's side seems like Maximillian and Selvaria Bles will be the one. Then the rest of the lackeys. |

Which is a shame, one of the things I like about Valkyria Chronicles is the vast diversity of the secondary characters, and you learn so much more about them as the game goes on. So far I've always made sure that I lost nobody. Ever. I simply like my crew far too much to abandon them.

Yup. Still don't like the design for Alicia.
And I know I can't ask for the world, but it seems like they're also a little less detailed. *shrug* Another thing is, instead of forcing Faldio into a love triangle type of situation, why don't they make sure to put Juno in the anime? She's already a character with a love interest in the game. No need to create a new one when one already exists to complicate the situation.

But it's a minor character. While I dislike the way they have decided to work with Faldio, it wouldn't have made any sense to use Juno. I was actually glad there were no triangles in the game, given how poorly Japanese screenwriters usually treat them.

That aside, from a distant point of view they may not seem 'deep' but if you read a bit closer you see a lot of things that, while they don't appear much in the game bar in the form of potentials, would translate perfectly in the anime. Edy's dislike of Rosie, Dallas' love for Alicia, the various Darcsen haters (the manga played into this rather nicely, to name an example) while these stories won't be the main plot, they would serve a vital part in making Squad 7 feel like... well... a squad, rather then a bunch of people thrown together for the sake of having a squad for the story. That's why I care about my squad, I don't just see a bunch of stats, I see people with their own likes and dislikes, I imagine how they would interact with each other, and build my squad accordingly.

I think they would have to introduce at least some of the side characters and have them be recurring characters to get the feeling of being a "squad" to the audience rather than just having the main characters. The character designs look well enough for a anime, it'd be hard to top the game.
Has there been a official word on the plot or episode count? |

I understand that the anime can't be 100% like the game, but I really just don't like them creating a third wheel in Faldio. Why? His character is fine as it is. Just leave him be. He's already got a very important role in the story line. But I do agree with your assessment of the way the Japanese screenwriters treat complicated love polygons.
