Well...Faldio get the Asshole of the Year Award. I wanted to believe that he wasn't going to turn this way, but I was wrong. Not a bad episode.

I'm sure Faldio isn't a bad guy now (nor completely crazy), he just shot Alicia to prove that she's a Valkyria. She will heal fast, I suppose.

Why are there two discussions for this episode? :S

i actually liked this episode.

At the end of the episode I was like, "Do it Faggot, I DARE YOU."

He really did it. |:

Whoa~ They did well in demonstrating Selvaria's war potential in this episode. Also, Cordelia looks great without her ridiculous hat. It'd be nice if she was like that in the game. <3

Yeah, it's really turned dark and srs in the last few eps. Strange feeling since the first half of the show felt more about love triangles and fun stuff.

Ah, we always shoot the ones we love...

Anyways, I'm not so convinced Faldio did it to prove Alicia's true nature. Obviously that's what will transpire... but I suspect his true motivation was to avenge the death of his squad on another Valkyrur. A surrogate for Selvaria.

I mean just look at his eyes in the scene. I doubt there's much higher brain functioning beyond that despair.

I quite enjoyed this episode. Pretty dramatic, and excellent quality.

Sorry, but, Faldio getting all messed up: <3 I like when they get all roughed up.
And him shooting Alicia at the end, I couldn't help it, but I did laugh. I totally saw it coming, and the second he pulled out the gun, I freakin' knew he would actually do it.

My dislike for Selvaria remains. As a person who has yet to play the game, all she does is annoy me.

Man, I made horrible comments this time XD

just kidding.. i knew this was gonna happen even though i have not played the game yet.. but overall. this episode was great..

however, this anime seems to keep on showing us that squad 7 = victory.. no squad 7 in the frontline means getting screwed big time..

this episode was really great. lots of surprised all the 1 squad die >.< and Fladio shoot Alicia!! O_O i know that would happen after he get his brain impact with the conscience. i think he shoot Alicia for his own frighten (i didn't play the game so might say the wrong thing, but it just my opinion don't take it seriously)

the event that Isara die get me heart-stopping and it didn't vanish yet other wave of shock come. gosh this Anime was way too great than i thought *thumb up*

Faldio sucks big time. He's the -insert word here- of the year indeed, as someone said up there...
I don't know what'll happen next hehe and that is good.

The entire Squad 1 killed... oh dear Valkyria that was a massacre!!

*stares @ Selvaria* wow... she rocks!!! She earned my respects lol

Looking forward to next episode...

General Damon is stupid, k who's with me?xD (He's good for nothing except comic relief and a sore forehead from all facepalms when he's on screen : D)
Anyways, pretty unexpected episode.. But it's good, and I guess that's what matters : p
Ramal melted O.O
And damn Selvaria is pretty awesome, except for her all to large chest. (And Maximillian for the win too, his personality perfectly fits his seiyuu : D)
Also, a really happy sight for Faldio to wake up to there O.O And I suppose he must feel pretty bad, because of what happened there, huh? But.. then.. Say Whay!? Oh well I guess I understand why he did that in the end there but still.. Say What?! O.O

That was a pretty great battle, then with Selvaria coming in and trashing everyone. Faldio shooting Alicia was a little suprising, cant see it as him trying to show she's a valkyria. I dont think he'd risk her dying if he really loved her.

Well, he was in shock, and the only thing he could get to connect in his tumbled head was that a valkyria killed off his whole squad, and he'd figured out that Alicia was a descendant of the valkyrur, and 1+1 makes him do it.
That's what I'm thinking anyway : p Edit: Wait.. just because she's a valkyria doesn't actually make it reasonable for him to shoot her..
Sec.. this one then.. It's basically the same.. Anyway, a valkyria wiped his squad, he's in a Huge shock, he doesn't see the person standing there as 'Alicia', instead, he sees a valkyria, and his shocked brain makes him think: "A valkyria! Shit gotta do something before she kills us all!" and shoots her...
Sounds reasonable to me : D

Oh and there goes the trainwreck. It was the dumbest episode I've watched lately. One girl annihilating a whole army with a fake-looking spear in the middle of the battlegrounds. Yes OK, I believe it. It was even more ridiculous than God Kira exterminating everything on the screen in Gundam SEED Destiny. And the ending scene cam eout of nowhere and is a simple unnecessary drama. The anime wasn't really good until this ep, but it has turned ridiculous and senseless now...

Haha. Well said. I can't believe how amazingly persistent you are Jacut. To think you actually survived watching the series up to this point. The 2nd opening song should have already clued you in all about the power of the Valkyrians so I can't believe that Selvaria nuking an entire army isn't something you cannot predict.

Going on. This episode seems to be more interesting than the last few ones. Sure, it's sad that Ramal along with the rest of squad 1 is gone but let's face it without Isara, Ramal is no longer necessary. Indeed the death of squad 1 makes Faldio's actions more "believable" and justified.

Having never played the game, I can't say for certain what will happen from now. I can only hope that they continue with the momentum and inundate us with more Valkyria-jin kick ass moments, Welkin x Alicia drama, squad 7 comedy scenes and more detailed/strategically driven battles. Most battle scenes had been more tactical and spur of the moment so far. I hope to see something grander that would make this show end in a big bang. ^_^

Finally, some real action and a real battle that lasted more than 1 minute! It's sad to see Squad 1 completely annihilated but that's war. Better than seeing haxxor squad 7 pwning imperial noobs that can't shoot.

To those thinking Faldio is a complete asshole:

^ This is a spoiler so don't read it.

Anyway, good to see Selveria-sama destroying some puny gallian maggots. Now that Isara is dead, I don't care anymore about army men wearing weird blue pants.

Alicia on the other hand acted like an idiot. Faldio looses his entire Squad in a battle, she goes to him smiling, asking if he's alright. -_-; I don't remember her being so insensitive when furry-loving boy lost his sister.

I found it pretty boring, the action really sucked and it does not give a war like feel one bit, probably the first episode of the series I didn't enjoy. Hopefully the second part of Naggiar will be finished in the next episode.

Damned Selvaria annoys the hell out of me! In the end she's just a mindless killing machine/ cardboard character going "yes, maxmillian, as you command,yes boss, I live for you maxmillian... blah blah blah". Just grow a brain, you Valkyrian witch! I mean she has mad skillz and all but acts like a two-bit lackey.
And Those regular-army gallian grunts are equally dim-witted, tactical numbskulls, using crazy tank-rush tactics against an overwhelming force. Don't see how Gallia can still be standing with such a piss-poor army, in spite of the hero-unit squad 7.

O_O has the shock gone to him that much, to try and take out one of the hopes of combating the Valkyur (the princess aside)? Although she probably survives, but I do wonder where the story will go in 6 more episodes =O!

I can't believe the entire squad 1 was wiped out in an instant (and Ramal too). But it was predictable from the begining and so Faldio make it alive... and in the end, his action of shooting Alicia was quite reasonable also probable. Being a descendant of the Valkyur like who killed his friends and team...
Poor Faldio, I really liked him...

Faldio's PTSS is putting him totally out of touch with what is going on, but know I'm am dislking him. He is voiced by the same person who voices Kururgi Suzaku after all. And what a cliffhanger that we are left with. Selvaria was really commanding that power, it was awesome and uber-destructive.

HOLY SHIT!!!! i need the next episode now. I can't wait.

Am wondering why he shot her? Did he just lost his mind and shot her because she was a Valkyria, or did he did it because is necessary to awaken her powers or something like that.
It's probably the second since he thought of the Valkyria weapons they had and it would also explain why he was so reluctant on Alicia using her powers before the fight.
