That doesn't tell me how and why Welkin would not punch Faldio in an outburst of rage after learning the truth behind Alicia's shooting. Welkin didn't hesitate to do it (in the game) although Faldio lost most of his men there too as well as to speak up LOUDLY his vision of how to fight this war (going against Faldio's machiavelian approach).

I wouldn't expect Squad 7 to act realistically like comrade in arms who have bonded through hardships when the anime has consistently portrayed them as angsty school kids instead. It's been quite obvious since the beginning that the animation crew doesn't have the knowledge to make it realistic militarily, so we might as well forget that.
As mentioned before, as gratifying as it might have felt, Welkin is not the kind of man to punch a tied up Faldio. Now if only he had been free of his movements... Now looking at the bright side, Welkin hasn't been wearing that silly garrison cap since the end of episode 21! |

I like this episode. It's pretty realistic in how squad 7 doesn't stick with Alicia (initial confusion is to be expected) and how Alicia thinks she herself is a monster. The exchange between Welkin and Faldio also brings out how matured Welkin is by not punching Faldio. Just because Faldio did the dirty work..... It's what you'd call a true dilemma. Sacrifice one person for the sake for thousands? or sacrifice thousands for one person? I don't think there's an answer.
As for the romance between Alicia and Welkin, I'm expecting Welkin to step up on it and break the barrier Alicia's put around her.

This is very important, the only reason Alicia was able to defeat Selveria so easily and like many people said was because she was not concious. I know Alicia is going to fail in using her power in a very important moment and guess who is going to show up to help her.... Walkin. We are being set up for this plot.

It didnt take a genius to see how this was going to turn out. Even without playing the game one could guess that #1 the military would want to use her as a weapon #2 regular soldier's would fear and has reservations about being near Alicia. Her own squad though damn thats rough the only ones that really tried to help were Welkin, Largo and Rosie. Roise already learned her lesson about discriminating and im sure she didnt want to see Alicia leave. It easy to see what Alicia is feeling and i suspect its just a hair above outcast.
Faldio the little respect i had for him is just gone now however i am not heartless losing your squad must be tough. Im just hoping he manages to pick himself back and up and support the people who are still left. Looks Maxi has a new ace up sleeve i am sure he had his engineers build a new super weapons or something. The series has been decent but no where as good as i had hoped however i did find the last episode pretty decent.

Spoiler for just a personal rant against the likes of Aisha:
Obviously, it's silly reactions like that which makes me fall out in disgust on how fellow soldiers from Squad 7 reacted. I really wanted to see the older ones (Largo, Rosie, Zaka) bring back some order in the squad, remind everyone Alicia is still one of them and scold/reprimand anyone making rejection-prone comments about Alicia. Lay down the law, Rosie! Quote:
I don't know whether or not local military advisors are called sometimes in creating Japanese anime films/series, but they always need military advisors in American/European movies and series to tell how soldiers act, live and even breathe. They should have called for some here (if done already, call for better advisors) with such lack of realism in the department. Last edited by KiraYamatoFan; 2009-09-02 at 11:25. |

In reality it's unbreakable unless under extreme conditions were it kind of goes every man for himslef and even then it's rare. But looking at squad 7 do you even for a moment think they're an army squad that is fighting unless they're in a battle scene? I'm left with the impression that most of the time they talk, bake bread and hang loundry.... In a situation where you're almost dead and one of your squad mates shows up with an incredible power and saves you and all you're friends you don't say he's scary do you? You're grateful that you've been saved.
So those reaction were completely out of the blue. Especially form the girl that lived in the same town as Alicia and was one of her best friends (can't remember her name) But hey they tried to make it dramatic and stuff XD And yeah this anime is at a total loss if you look for any military or even rational tactics. Heck in the previous episode when it was painfully obvious they can't kill a Valkyria like that why not attack the weaker flangs and surrond her. But noo....Welkin had to show up and tell them to flank her, when in reality any idiot would guess that when there is a hardpoint you suppress it if you can, to prevent major losses, and surrond it. And what were all the tanks sitting around for while the Valkyrias were fighting? That was a golden opportunity for a counteratack. if they missed it (like they did) who knows if Alicia would have one. The best time to strike is when the enemy is confused and scared. Yeah basically that last part shows just how much common sense there is in this anime... |

Seriously if I was age 12 and a friend/comrade of mine has super hero powers and saved me from death, my eyes would light up like seeing Santa Claus. I would scream wildly like a little fangirl even KYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Alicia sama suteki! Besides there's a ton of more stuff she should be afraid of at age 12 like dying in war, monsters in closet, Fabio, etc |

she said her name afew times in the anime, but mostly she's only gotten two or three word phrases, sentences or words in the anime. She's never said more then 3 or 4 words in the actual anime at a time. but she did have a long speaking moment for the preview parts at the end of each episode...don't remember which one. But she did say her full name and how old she was.

I liked this episodes save for some slight details...
- They Seem to be making The General Actually seem like a competent Military strategist, I think he's getting too much Credit . - Where did the Princess go? You'd think she should have a say in something as big as "Another" Valkyrur. - Valkyria are supposed to be the hero's of the past. Why is Alicia being treated like a monster? The people are supposed to be worshiping her, not shunning her. - Squad 7. Too flaky for a squad that's been through that much. Welkin still is a horrible pansy, although he is a little better. Other then that I loved this episode. Emotions ran high and drama about. |
