Awesome episode, it didn't feel rushed to me. Cliché, yes, but it was still great - the fight was cool.
I was very surprised that Cordelia was a Darcsen.

And poor Selvaria... Maximilian is such a bastard.

They're making a sequel to the game this is based on so there might be a sequel to this anime.

I really hated the reveal in this episode. Maybe it's because of the really tacky things I've watched today, but I really did scream when she took off that wig. The show has suffered a meltdown since making Alicia a Valkyrie, and now it's just one lame plot twist after another.


Yes. The script has become absolutely horrible and tasteless after Alicia became a Valkyria. To the point that I won't even care to watch the end. Just reading the absurd developments and revelations on these forums make me laugh, and definitely want to avoid wasting 24 minutes of my time by watching this.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Maxamillian is one cold fish...everyone is just a tool to him.

I liked his reaction when Princess Cordelia revealed that she was Darcsen!


I have to agree with crimsonwill on DBZ especially the final attacks of Alicia and Selvaria.

I didn't expect to see Saleveria die. That was truly unexpected.
But definitely, Princess Cordelia's secret is not something I saw coming. Who would knew that she was wearing a wig this entire time???

But it was worth it to see Prince Maximillian face. He's an ass for the way he treated Salveria, the only person that probably cared for him.

I was really disappointed with this episode. It was shocking to see that the princess wasn't who she claimed to be.

But the battle between Alicia and Selvaria ended way too disappointing. At the last second Alicia remembers her friends, and with in seconds she wins. I was really hoping that Squad 7 would show up to trigger Alicia's courage. And then Selvaria ended up killing herself? Meh...:/

Alicia beat her down. Granted it was at the very end and was kinda pulled out of her ass. But the rest of the parts were refreshing. Squad 7's struggles were good, and the Princesses' heritage was a surprise, I kept seeing Isara.

Wow... this is a perfect example of not having enough time to animate things:

I thought i've seen bad animation due to time constraints before, but that was definitely the worst. Shame considering how great this shows is too :(

The Nuke was pretty epic too. Good fight, little anime-ish at the end but good none the less. Awesome.

KAAAAAAMEEEEHAAAMEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ENGAGE THE IMPOSSIBLE TANK! Fuck that thing looks ridiculous. And the next 2 episodes better look fabulous.

we have in descent parabola.... Maximilian is very crazy... I thought him as not totally bed, but now he is totally insane!!!! Poor selvaria.... not 'cause she die (it is excepted), but for the mediocre emotional performance of her death... not a good scene I think...
The animation is great, congratulations!!!!

Everything happened pretty quickly...

Alicia is still beyond awesome. :D And geez, I really did not expect that twist with the princess being Darcsen and everything... I've also decided: "His Highness" (the one Selvaria served, whatever his name is) is the biggest royal buttface ever. :] I'm sure Selvaria would have been happy to share some of her Valkyria blood with him, but nooo, he has to go and start a huge war with Gallia... He didn't deserve Selvaria's hard work and dedication. D<

I really liked this episode. I was completely surprised that princess Cordelia was a Darcsen, partly because it was one of the few surprises that the opening did not give away. The other thing I liked was that Maximilian finally seems like a bad guy. Even though in real life there are two perspectives and nobody is usually a "bad guy," I like to have someone to route against.

that's a pretty big chunk missing from selvaria's side. Valkyrian's are equal to nukes after all.

Damon is dead thankfully. That guy was just unbelievable.

The Valkyrian battle was OK but it definitely could have been better. The only good thing in Selvaria's death was that she took that stupid general Damon with her!

I was a bit surprised that the Randgriz were Darcsen, so that was what the Princess and Faldio were talking about in the tent last episode that Faldio was surprised as well.

R. I. P. Selvaria, my gratitude for her roasting Damon and the lowlife officers of the Gallian Regular Army in a literal blaze of glory. Nuked. Too bad Maximilian never returned her feelings, and I didn't see Damon and friends suffer enough/get humiliated before they were wiped off the face of the earth.

I wasn't surprised about Cordelia revealing her true lineage though, because I had already been spoiled in an episode discussion long ago (thanks to those gamers who complained about Cordelia's hair color being different when she first appeared), and that the color of her eyes served as a pretty strong hint.

And no, that's no tank, that's a freakin' land battleship. If Alicia doesn't get transferred back to Squad 7, I can see Faldio being reassigned to the team to plug in the squad's shortfall of one soldier since Alicia left. Then, a battle in Randgriz to have the OP animation make more sense, minus Isara and Selvaria.

great episode. though i might just think so because that "General" Damon finally died ^_^
sad that Selvaria died and also about the poor guy who was her aide being shot by Maximalian. that cold-hearted ba****d.

not too suprised about the princess since i played VC2 before watching this so i already knew she was a Darcsen -_-

but there is one thing that's bothering me: are you telling me the Gallians actually allowed Maximalian to come with a freaking battleship for handling out a t-r-u-c-e ?! o.O

I wouldn't be surprised if Cordelia's current hair (the dark blue one) is just another wig. That seems to be her trademark!

I liked the episode, but I didn't want Selvaria to go :(

If anything Cordelia's attendant (that big blonde bishop guy) should go. I mean, he planned to assassinate the princess he should be getting his karma any day now.

Finally! General Lard-ass has finally kicked the bucket, but sadly at the expense of Selveria. It also seems that I misjudged Maximilian. In place of General Lard-ass, Maximilian has taken his place on my shit(character) list.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

The reveal sort of makes sense, the line "It is time to end this fake history" suggesting the anime will infodump us again on the history of Galia. Though I already know, thanks to the game B)

The fight scene was utter trash. It was animated like shit, especially at the part where Alicia falls to the ground and starts spinning, there was no detail at all on the ground and walls, and her body resembled a rotating sprite. Alicia also had her stupid Nakumo power-up moment when she remembered "who", or more appropriately, "the precious thing" she was fighting for. Such vapid, uninspired motives like that come off as trite to say the least. Not to mention the DBZ-esque charge-up sequence, when the two delivered their final blows, so tasteless.

That entire scene was garbage -unarguably the worst scene of the entire show-and I'm glad it's over with. Such times like these really accentuate the show's flaws, which is quite a shame since VC has done so many things right when the directors sort of felt like it.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

I felt the episode went too fast. So many things happened in a short time. We barely had the time to feel how monstrous the Marmota was, and in a blink of an eye it was already in Randgriz.

Poor Alicia, she looked so pathetic, getting controlled by Damon, and fighting without purpose. I gotta admit though, the battle scene was awesome. And I highly doubt she would have survived Selvaria's self destruct explosion intact, being so close to the epicenter like that.

Well, here goes my other expectation. Looks like I'll never be able to see Selvaria with her signature gun Ruhm. However, I feel her death in the anime is sadder than in the game.

Maximilian is so cruel, even more than in the game, he went as far as calling Cordelia useless. In the game he still intent to marry Cordelia despite knowing her true heritage.

Squad 7 is so useless, sitting ducks regretting about letting Alicia go. At least Welkin was intent to see Alicia.

This was the worst episode... and the most important at the same time.
The princess' reveal was okay, but the valkyries battle was awful (with the laziest final blow), the character development uninteresting and that final explosion...

I pretty liked this show at some point, but... those last episodes were a slump...

They have one last battle. It will decided too much.

Too rushed indeed.. And btw if you like the anime you should get the game, it's 10x better..


YES, this part really did feel much better in the game, besides while I dont recall specifics, wasnt Alicia back to the squad sooner?

Selvaria's death had more impact in the game, not only was different, but you felt even more of how much of a piece of TRASH this Maximilion punk is, to order her like that, poor girl...
