Sucks that it is over, I like it. I just wish I had a PS3 so that I could play the game. I also thought it was messed up that they didn't mention Faldio at all after all that he had done, you would think they would have honored him in some way.

Also, did anyone else see Jaeger walking through the background at the train station? I thought Maximilian shot him?


I totally had to go back and check that scene out. didn't even see him passing by there with his bag. Glad he is not dead i just wished that Selviria would have liked him and not stupid Maxamillion. Good satisfying ending. hopeful for a second season but if not im content with this.

at least you got a kiss scene....

with the exception of Faldio's forgotten death, the ending was pleasant. But really, I can't believe people forgot Faldio :/

It was badly done. Horrific when compared to the game. They wasted too much time on fillers such that the last few episodes were too rushed.

Much much better than the one displayed in Spice & Wolf.

That kiss shut up Alicia's raging hormones... that could have nuked the whole area to smithereens. XD

How's Jeager alive again?

There was no footage of him being shot; there was only the sound of a gunshot. Speculations are that he was hit in a non-vital part and that he was treated afterwards. It is also possible that he was prepared for it, given his smile just before the shot, as if he was to say "you can try if you want to".

For me, it was because Faldio died and nothing more was said about it. Like he was some second rate character. Oh shit =(

At last good and satisfying ending! Would be perfect if Faldio didn't die in such rushed manner, I wonder why they had to kill him at the very end...

Very good anime 8/10 but +1 thanks to the ending so 9/10 in overall.

-9/10.

It was all going fine and dandy until they killed Faldio.
At first I was like, "Oh, they'll give him honor and a few tears at the end."
SO THE WAITING BEGAN.
Maximillian dies.
Oh, they'll honor him when Alicia and Welkin walk out.
They walk out.
Oh, they'll honor him before everyone goes on their ways.
Everyone goes on their ways.
Oh, they'll honor him after everyone has had their turn.
Everyone has their turn.
Oh, they'll honor him when Alicia and Welkin walk out.
Here it comes, here it comes,
Welkin talks about sacrificies, and for the first time I feel HAPPY because they will honor him.
"ISARA AND THE OTHERS".
GOD, WHAT THE FCK WELKIN. I KNOW ISARA WAS YOUR LITTLE SISTER IN ALL, BUT PLEASE. ALICIA SAY SOMETHING ALREADY. DID WELKIN EVEN TELL ALICIA THAT HE DIED? IS ALICIA TOO INTO WELKINS ABS AND BOD TO REALIZE THAT THE GUY WHO LIKED HER FIRST, SAVED HER AND EVERYONE ELSE IS DEAD?
I WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER ANIME FROM YOU, ANIME CREATORS. GOD

So then, I see the game end. This automatically makes me happier because Faldio dies in an even MORE heroic way, in FRONT of them this time. Maybe now you'll use your brains, kids, and realize that the whole reason your alive is right in front of you.
But, THAT ALSO MAKES IT WORSE.
BECAUSE FALDIO DID ONCE AGAIN NOT GET AN ENDING. JESUS
I GOT EVEN MORE MAD WATCHING THIS BECAUSE THIS TIME THEY ACTUALLY KNOW HE DIED AND THEY ARE NO MORE CARING ABOUT IT THEN THEY ARE IN THE ANIME. THE ONLY RECOGNITION HE GOT IN THE GAME AT THE END WAS IN THE PHOTO WITH THE OTHERS. WAS THAT EVEN HIM?

So, as you can see I do not like this anime. At least, not the end.
What pisses me off the most is that Isara got a whole over 9000 episodes for her death, got Welkin crying for the first time in the anime, got everyone crying, got a grave scene, got everything else and she WASN'T EVEN A MAIN CHARACTER. SHE DIDNT EVEN MATTER. ISARA DID NOTHING BUT STAND THERE AND SHE GOT MORE OF A CARING THEN FALDIO EVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN.

Okay, I'm off now chip chip cheerio.
you are my master.

Faldio. ;_; So it ends. Well, it was to be expected. Squad 7 + Faldio rescue Gallia. At least Jaeger is still alive, but still... Faldio. T_T

At least there was a kiss.

I guess I'll stick with my 7/10.

It's understandable for the anime. But for the game...Faldio isn't a main character. He's not playable, and he doesn't appear as often as he does in the anime. Isara's there in the squad and doing things, even if it's not much, and she has an added story that leads to some important stuff at the end...you'd really need to play or watch the whole game to get it.

the last scene of the game's ending reminds you/us of late Isara, who died tragically in this warfare
that's why, that was so expressive and touching.

but on this anime, because there wasn't enough time to do it, i felt this ending is kind of halfway

Exactly right. There is no Faldio x Alicia romance in the video game, you never see any of his Squad 1 members, Faldio never shows up to comfort people or give advice. Also, the game has different circumstances concerning Faldio shooting Alicia. Faldio is imprisioned and Welkin doesn't forgive him. Faldios sacrifice was more or less his way of saying sorry. So no words really needed to be said.

why o why did they change so much, come on, the story in the game was so epic, it almost made me cry, but the anime was so poorly made, i dont know why i didnt drop it earlier :S
i didnt even see the plane that saved alicia and welkin in the end of the game
the battle with Maximilian in the game was hard but in the anime is like, LOL i hug u, u die haha
welkin didnt actually propose to her, no flower ring no anything he just said i like u or love u
no alicia bread wagon.
and no little isaara (alicia and welkin daughter, yes they name her exactly like welkin sister ) at the end, WTF...
4/10 for me cuz the animation graphics looks exactly like the game and look cool if not this would be a 2/10
i dont know why people giving this 7 or 8, i am sure none of them got the game a play it to the end, if they actually saw the story in the game they will give a low rank just like i did

Still, Faldio's homing bullets are cool xD I mean, he doesn't even move the rifle but he still hit two guys xD..
And it's also pretty fun how the good guys always seem to have better aim than the bad guys xD

Oh Maximillian is still so awesomely bad, I gotta say it's good to be bad, at least in his case : >

Pfft Faldio, fool, gone and blown yourself up. Nothing like that's worth dying for.

...wait.. wat? Ahahah~ Maximillian is still a cool guy, even though he resorts to things such as man-made Valkyrian weapons x)

Hmm .. Cool, someone says "Mazui!" in every anime everywhere : D Always someone who has to say it x)

Awwww Maximillian died : ( Oh well, he died while being evul : >

Hahah... Welkin turns away, begins to walk, and then.... Turns back and jumps through the fire.. Unexpected, huh? xD

Harr harr harr happy ending, kthnx.
Although that could've been made in a better way.
I guess I'll just have to play the rest of the game now, since I've been having it on hold for a few weeks now.

So then, two more things to mention, why did Welkin's clothes only begin to disintegrate on the upper part of his back?
And when Alicia and Welkin come walking back towards the squad, Why do they looks so delirious?xD As if they've been smoking funny things while on their way from the .. big.. ship-like.. thing : D..

Nevermind, I'll rant a bit more.
Edy and Homer? O.o That's just a no-no.
Although Hans is cool x) And Zaka too I guess : p
So then, Rosie lost her hatred towards the Darcsen? Well obviously : p
Also, that onepiece dress does not fit on Alicia.

And with that, another of the animes I've been really late with watching is concluded, that's all from me, またね

So...Faldio dies just like that? At least he helped them in the game by destroying the generators that were giving Maximillian his power, AND dragging Maximillian and himself into a pit. Here he just dies by going kamikaze against a couple of throwaway soldiers and is ignored for the rest of the episode...just goes to show how rushed the end was.

Other than that, IT NEEDS AN EPILOGUE! The end didn't really feel like an ending because everything finishes in like the last 5 minutes of the show.

I actually thought the episode was fairly decent. There wasn't any doubt that Maximilian is going to be the final villain, so it's good to see him having some good weapons. Alicia and Welkin in their reunion is alright along with the kiss^^ Also, I was expecting them to kill off Faldio considering he has had more focus then Welkin and Alicia is going to end up with Welkin anyway.

Everyone at the end finding there normal life, kinda romance in a way ^^

I enjoyed the first ED <3

Overall i gave this series a 8/10

It wasn't brilliant but still an entertaining and enjoyable episode. The only real problem was how no one mentioned Faldio and how undramatic and quick his death was.

Valkyria Chronicles was never a brilliant anime but it was entertaining and enjoyable good fun. It has some pacing issues and a few random filler episodes but the character's and the scenarios they faced were always intriguing enough for me to continue, It wasn't an EPIC grand finale but I wasn't disappointed either.

All I can say is that the acting and the directors made what could have been a boring and cliched series interesting. Valkyria has many problems including a boring villain but the people who made this anime added something to the characters that made them more likable and in turn more interesting. Valkyria had something special about it that made it stand out of the pack.

I give this episode and the show 8/10.

Anyway, the ending is ok. I was feeling that it's gonna be a happy ending, and it is. Btw, this anime is quite predictable, yet Faldio's death(I'm not sure he is dead or alive), and a glimpse of Jaegar is not expected.

I felt this show took a nosedive as soon as Alicia's power awakened. I had enjoyed it up to that point. Leaps of logic, poor direction, laughable execution. It lost all the charm it had in the first half. Welkin's character did a 180 from atypical to typical anime hero, and the whole obligatory love triangle thing put me off for several eps.

Bah, anyway this series was a disappointment for me after a promising start.

was planning to just give it a 8/10

final score from meh - 7/10

As for Faldio, remember he was beeing charged with (kindnapping of the princess) but Princess Cordial said she was going to get him off those charges, But the shooting of a friendly officier remainded (But I thought he'd get a light sentence if Captain Varrot stepped in and if Alicia testified it was accidental)

Sadly its unknown what happened to him. Hes begiven alot of hate, but I thought of him as an interesting character to the series, His fate was the betrayers card I refer too, He betrayed his country in order to save it.

I sorta happy Jaegan was still alive, but I would like to at least know how he got away/survied. imo he was the best character on the Imperial side. If only Selevaria would open her eyes and see that he'd make a better man to protect. Would of been nice if he had defected to gallia and *replaced* General Damon O_o

The series was having ups and downs, I was really enjoying it until just past midway thu, then when the squad abandoned Alicia, I hated it, now they all apologetic and stuff, but the damage is already done. It took the realistic from it.

Would of also liked to have seen the Edelwess take a much better role in the fighting, it was a superior tank afterall.

As for the darcen calamity, I really glad I solved that ages ago. At least I solved something right before the answers were revealed.

As I like my rankings of anime., few episodes ago I was ready to give this a 7 because it failed on exciting action (for being based of a turn based strategy game) and the dialog had become messed up. ima consider a bit more how it ended if I change my opinion of it.

Honestly, after just having watched Full metal Alchimest, it blows Valkyria Chronicles out of the water. Tho that recieved a 9 from me. Plus Selvaria should take notes on Lt. Hawkeye how to be a proper guardian ;)

That ending was a lot better than I had expected. Maximilian was finally taken out, and Welkin and Alicia shared a very good moment together. Faldio was PIMP and I'm glad that the rest of Squad 7 were able to assimilate back into their normal peaceful lives. A lot more people died in this series than I originally foresaw, but it still turned out great. 9/10
