Alicia is done near perfect in terms of moeness.

But I can’t unsee my impressions of a true Valkyrie who SOLOS MISSIONS AND TANKS within ONE TURN in the game and see her turn into a CELESTIAL BEING SHOOTING % fighter. Being cute and moe is one thing, being plain stupid enough in action that Crusader can give in-depth crap about it comparing to real life physics in previous episodes is another =[

And Faldio. Too much. Welkin, too passive. Max is…a chump. Well no, EVERYONE is a chump compared to Alicia. FACT.

So yeah, this series has only 2 small things going for it for me. 1 is Hans. 2 is Alicia when not fighting and when like…for the most part not talking. Example being in the kitchen. Wow I sound sexist.

@Narrator1

Max is nowhere close to Schneizel or Lelouch in brain power. Hell I bet that male lead from Tears to Tiara is smarter than Max. At least he TRIES to keep his mouth shut and not make conversations longer, so he keeps his stupidity INSIDE where you can’t laugh at it >.>

Wait, that might just be how I saw him in the game. Damnit, cannot unsee. Overpowered Waifu ruined this for me!

@Crisu
We all know who this story is really about, yes?

@Kherubim
There just aren’t any and believe my I would liked to have seen some Stukas and Shtrumoviks.

I hope the rest of them get speaking roles once in a while…

@Ominae
Damon will get his due…in good time in good time.

@schneider
Well he did voice Maxi-pad in the game I suppose it is fitting that he’s once again a prince with no interest in women.

@Narrator 1
Perhaps though as Welkin you get to kick his ass.

@TJ
Next time will at least have some Edelwiess.

@tomtom
Yes When Welkin Strikes Back!

@lilu
Only they forgot about Hephaestus and how he humilated them both…

@Kabitzin
Only regulars get discharged so Alicia is safe and to be honest Damon’s officers aren’t worth much as trades or as slave labor…

@Kherubim

- In the anime, not yet. If you have played the game, there is some stuff mentioned about the AF.

We saw a few Gallian POW after Maximilian’s battle, so probably the officers are kept alive for exchanges.

All this innuendo and harassment must mean that Alicia’s gonna get a dishonorable discharge, IYKWIM.

The most interesting and likable part of the episode: Ares and Aphrodite.

Alicia and her expression were the driving force this time around…

A friend of mine described Maximilian as “Lelouch trying to be Schneizel”. I’m not sure I like the comparison, as I can just imagine him screwing over the blue-haired chick royally (and not in the good way).

I have a problem with Fukuyama’s voice-acting on Maximillian, too. Cringe-inducing, even.

On my question about aircraft, it seems that the Imperials don’t need any either, probably because they have “nuclear powered boob monsters”. I’d supposed having aircraft in the source material would have been a gameplay nightmare as well.

Quite a bit of the cast is wasted this episode, with Susie and Isara getting only one line each, and what’s with the clingy jealous kid hanging around Faldio anyway?

I only just got the game, but does the Atlantic Federation ever make an appearance?

There aren’t any aircraft in the VC world as they were prototypes. IIRC, Theimer had the aircraft made as a prototype. You can only guess why the Gallian military didn’t adopt it.

Also, awesome stuff. Isara and Susie blushing is cute, but Alicia slapping Welkin is a big no no. Looks like the two are going to have some relationship troubles in the course of the war.

And I wish someone would kill Damon for being a fat ass and leaving his troops to be captured as POWs.

Ah… that picture of loveliness called Edy, why won’t you speak???

Also I was expecting Faldio to be all sweaty and feeling himself up when he was talking about Ares and Aphrodite…

Why isn’t there any aircraft in this anime/game? I’d expect Bf-109s and Stukas bearing on the tightly packed Gallian Army, led by the very model of a modern major general. At the very least, zeppelins and autogyros…

Alicia, along with Inoue Marina’s performance, is fantastic and adorable — growing with each passing episode.
