No review page for Ep 5? hmm is my browser messed up?

Enter Hans the porcavian pig! the cheery piglet mascot of squad 7!

Another triumphant victory for squad 7 with the help of squad 1, man these guys sure are invincible, they retook a supply base and forced a famed imperial general to retreat and the only damage they took was.. a graze on Alicia's leg?

The empire and to a lesser extent the Gallian regulars seem to be suffering from the Worf Effect.

This episode was so amusing - first time I voted "Loved it" for an episode, too. XD I love watching Faldio and Alicia interact. Great entertainment, seriously.

Welkin really is turning into a great commander... Rather, it seems he was one from the start! Natural born leader~

Liking how everything is going! I wonder what'll happen further with this Jaeger guy, though...? Prefer him over... Gregor, was it? Jaeger's cooler -- well, as much as an enemy can be. :P

So the winged pig I was seeing on the ED was actually a character after all? LOL

I don't get Gregor and Jaeger withdrawal, was Welkin's simultaneous attack really that strong that they had to retreat? And that last sniper on the tower must be crossed eyed or something to only graze Alicia's leg! XP

Pigs can fly! Or so they seem to be. Thus Squad 7 gets its very own mascot. Faldio's been hitting on Alicia for a while now, while Welkin was being dense and clueless. Or so he seems...

This series is starting to look like those over the top Hollywood action movies where the enemies are fucking dumb and the good guys are invincible. It's like how the fuck two small squads managed to destroy almost an entire platoon and the only damage they got was a small scratch on Alicia's thigh, did the Imperial soldiers never learn how to shoot? where are the enemy's lancers? Why did no one thought to shoot Edelweiss at the same time using the multiple tanks they had? surely constant barrage would dent Edelweiss' armor eventually? why did the Imperial never plant land mines to protect their base? I doubt even Edelweiss could withstand a direct blow from below. They said they have superior numbers yet once Faldio's squad showed up they have to retreat? what, they only had 10 soldiers protecting the base or something? did they not have any scout to tell them that the enemies only number around 20s?

We also keep seeing the Gallian use grenades and lancers but the Imperial never used them to blow up Gallian soldiers hiding behind the sand bags. The enemies have lancers, grenades, and land mines in the game yet here the Gallians look like they have superior technology that makes you wonder how they ever got pushed back by the Imperials.

Wow the pig is a character.

That lance rocket thing is really cool.

I've noticed something one sub group (not sure of the names) has the episode with op and ed subbed while another one skips the op and ed to add information about the game.

It's not flying pig!
Hans is a porcavian!! xD

That's what I'm waiting for!
Largo with lance, not with guns.. Because he's a lancer xD

I really like Alicia's expression in anime more than in game xD

Lewd episode is coming next!!

Based Jaeger. If only he wasn't on the enemy side.

Goddamnit Ramal. ''Quick Ramal, cover Alicia!''
Doesn't cover her

I know that Faldio is the designed sexual harasser, but he should moderate a bit. You're in a stealth operation and you start to flirt? As a commander, he isn't very clever. Also, it made me burst out laughing when he was flirting and ended up talking about Welkin. So he's the kind of flirter that end up talking about his friends...

The characters in this show really aren't doing it for me. The protagonist in particular represents a character archetype/trope that I absolutely loathe. Sitting through all 26 episodes with this guy as the lead is going to be tough to say the least.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

I feel like I would be enjoying this show a lot more if I hadn't already played the game and had character expectations.

All of Faldio's interactions feel...wrong, to say the least. Borderline harassment where it doesn't fit.

Also I hope Welkin breaks his one-track mold in this show; he didn't really in the game, but that would be a change I wouldn't mind.

The grey areas are becoming more black/white. Squad 7 beat all of Gregor's garrison...how, exactly? Plot armor, that's how. They're good guys. Might've worked in the game, didn't work for me in a show. Ah well.

A nice episode.

Alicia already showed that there's something special about her, and looks like Faldio recognized it.

We get to see Faldio's other members. If I'm not mistaken, they're Herbert, Rosina, Musaad, and Wendy.
