watch the subs...I like this episode...10/10
Spoiler for spoiler:
And I must be the minority who thinks this series is pretty good...probably because I haven't played the game...I watched other series too at the start, but eventually this is the only one I am watching so far and I think this series is getting better and better XD Thank god I don't have ps3

Anyone else have a feeling they will change the ending from the game?
Maybe have Welkin and Faldio switch roles... If they do...I'm not even going to watch the show. I stopped watching round ep 14 and check here for summary's and it seems like no one is happy.

I have come to the conclusion that you could replace Welkin with any of the animals species he drools over and the lead would still be a useless lame duck.
The freaking pig with wings has more depth than he does! I'm 1 more episode away from dropping this monstrosity. The 180 degree scriptfuck they've done on the plot and the characters is already ridiculous as it is, and at this point it's all going nowhere. The war, the relationships and the characters are completely all over the place.

Some people call the show a train wreck but it's more like a train wreck with Welkin. First off Faldio tells him that he loves Alicia so he's unsure what to do but instead of dealing with it ignores it and Alicia (If a girl doesn't have reciprocrate the same feelings to another person then forcing them isn't the answer). Second his sister, his most closest family he had, dies which brings him down even further and now he's trying to play a cold face. It's okay not to cry and act tough but not at the expense of alienating everyone in your squad. Quote:

If that doesn't snap Welkin back into realtity then I don't know what will. Quote:

In Japanese, the connotation of "I like you" holds the same meaning as "I love you" depending on the context. If the context is that of a person confessing his or her feelings to another, then it's a confession of love.
A cameo versus a death scene of the main character from another well-loved game. Sorry, but that troll moment is just too annoying to be forgotten. The whole appeal is seeing Vyse kick butt with Aika and having Fina come in to heal them. |

I'll honestly say that i liked this episode. Sure it has about a ton of problems with it, though at this point in the series i'm trying my complete best to ignore them (which is impossible. ). The new pieces of music, along with the music placement was very nicely done. Touching pieces that you'd expect to hear at moments like this, so it was very fitting. As for the actually episode, i liked it upto super hero Faldio made his appearance. Sure the Welkin we're seeing here is nothing at all like the way she should be from the game, though the way he acted in this episode is just how you'd expect a Commander to act, and it worked well upto the point where Alicia confessed. Seeing these moments, and what shall happen in the next episode, i keep my fingers crossed that the show will be saved, and i can actually look forward to enjoying it each week. Of course i know i'm asking a hell of a lot here, so i'm not keeping my hopes up. Super hero Faldio though, my god. Appearing just at the right moment yet again made me laugh so hard, especially because i seen it coming from a mile away. & then stopping the Squad 7 members with his super hero speeches, yet again showing that he can do anything. Oh the lol. Last scene between Faldio and Welkin was just pure comedy. Plenty of below the belt digs there from Welkin.

l must say going from the title of the preview...welkin will finally break down and his game persona will come out...well that's what l hope...
after seeing the sub... l undestand welkin's attitude a little bit regarding lsara's death it's clear that it's eating at him, he even said so to faldio at the end...he couldn't even protect his sister... it just seems the writers overdid it though with him acting cold. lf gamers remember correctly welkin didn't really express how hard lsara's death hit him until they took bhrul and spoke his heart out to alicia.... so that's why l'm praying that the title for next ep means welkin finally breaking...and saving whatever redeeming quality his character once had... |

Problem is, he and Alicia were already a couple at this point in the game. I suppose considering the writer's skills they could do some sort of a stupid hack job and shove them together in a grudging fashion while sobbing and crying that their "Super Awesome Faldio-sama" should have Alicia instead.
Of course, they'll probably have a scene in the aftermath showing Alicia and Welkin married for a number of years before Welkin finally looks closely at his son and sees Faldio staring back at him. |

It might go like in Gurren Lagann. Simon spent 1 episode long being a jerk and hateful after Kamina's death, and became a real man after that.
Welkin isnt exactly likeable right now, it's a shame to see how they're handling him so differently from the game. But he's the main character, he'll sort himself out eventually. |

And read the manga, the story is'nt exactly as in the game, but the character are more faithful than in the anime. My feeling is that the anime is bad only if we don't know the game. It's just really realy really diferent. The anime is a really bad adaptation but the anime is a good anime even if it's not as good as the game. |

@kraken Thanks for the suggestion, I will look at those cut scenes probably after the anime has ended...I see in here a lot of game players have a negative view towards the anime..their viewpoints are probably valid but I actually really enjoy this anime so far therefore I don't want to ruin the joy yet XD

He was portrayed quite well in this episode like i've said, though that's thanks to the current situation in the story. For the past 4/5 episodes, he's just been a complete mess of a character, and nothing you'd expect from a main character at all. I'm just glad that the writers are finally doing something right with his character.
