Another week another episode that made no sense.
Ok that was a bit extreme since the plot actually
moved. In fact it moved a bit fast. Anyways here's my take on the main points in this episode.
The battle. Well it was well animated. Compared to other episode this one had a really high animation quality. It was interesting to see the flashback didn't do a thing. I mean why waste screen time with things that don't move the story forward or contribute to it at all. Half the flashback was seen in a previous episodes.
Oh and why didn't Selvaria kill Alicia. She had the upper hand most of the battle, she wanted to win, had so much power left and still didn't kill her. There was no point in holding back right? Alicia was doing it because at the begining she thought she had no reason to fight.
Oook why did Selvaria nuke herself? The reason she gave was a bit stupid. She said she lost her value when she lost or something of the sort and yet she believed in Maximilian. That was really strange. It's like admiting someone uses you as a tool and still beliving he thinks of you as a human with feelings. She could have fled the scene. It's not like that was the last stand. If she was a live she could have atacked again later. If she takes out the armed forces and the regular soldiers Alicia wouldn't do much alone since there would be no one to give her orders and she doesn't really want to fight that much. That was quite the big plot hole there. They could have made Selvaria's death and character a lot better.
The scene lacked the emotional impact a death of a main character should carry. Still the tear in the end was a nice touch.
Maximilian should have reacted in a more calm way when he learned the truth. From what was shown up to thet part he wasn't the kind of guy to do that. He always seemed to take things in his stride and didn't care much. Always stayed calm. But oh well. That was and interesting moment. Never saw it coming XD
Squad 7 finally recognised Alicia as their friend...again. That should have happened a lot faster but that was discussed in the previous threads so I won't say it again. Welkin is still a weak character for a lead.
N-No...Faldio?
And what was with that tank O.o
It' was so big...how the hell was it moving like that. and why didn't anyone notcie it before - it was huge. And it seemed it was really close to the city. that was really funny XD From a realistic point of view such a weapon is a total fail. If it's this big it's easy to hit from long range and thus it's easy to cripple it's movements. And after that all that's left to finish it off. It's like the huge battleships in WWII that were really huge and overpowered but they were taken down with a similar tactic. On a battlefield the combination of speed, information and firepower is the things that make a tank good.
I wonder if anyone will read all that
Overall the episode wasn't that bad comapred to the episode this far.
So two episode left eh?
