i've lost nearly 10 minutes watching this scene, this frame to be precise, and i don't see any girl, let alone a naked one.

given that everything else in your post resembles more of a rant about people rather than something related to our conversation, i won't answer to that.

1. The source is the LN,not the manga. In an LN, AFAIK, the only images present are usually in between chapters and or for certain events, and again AFAIK, In the mangafox forums there doesn't seem to be any evidence pointing toward any images in the LN that were exceptionally violent.Violence, in this case, is dependent on the person reading.

2.What will not make sense? The men charging off into their doom? They illustrated that perfectly well in the anime. They kept the part of dragging dead bodies of their comrades, albeit with clothes on and no women, but it is there. If you see your best friend's dead body being paraded in front of you surely you will be ticked off. These wave of emotion will be multiplied by the bandwagon effect. With everybody else around you getting pissed you yourself will get more pissed and eventually without proper training, as is the case in the anime with the conscript town militia, a lot of people will charge off into their doom.

The only case in which removing violent bits affected the anime was back in episode 3 when Rory was killing the bandits. However, this was not a very big issue because now it is resolved in her conversation with Itami.

1. as I said, chances are the LN is even more violent than the manga, but it isn't
translated (except for small parts of it) so I don't know.

Here's what seem to be a translated version of one of the LN scenes
(Rory vs bandits scene):

Tell me, is the description in line with the manga, or the anime?

2. Going by the manga, one of those may be a scene with a certain prince,
..which then becomes one of the main reasons of what follows later on, to the currently translated manga chapter and beyond.

I've hidden the earlier quotes in the spoiler below. - konatachan80

1. How you interpret these "violent" scenes is up to you. However, there is a difference between the scene of Rory murdering the bandits and scenes like

You can very much do away with the violence of most of the battle scenes without impacting the story.

In the other case where such scenes are sort of "necessary" see no.2. Again the only case where this harmed the anime so far was episode 3.

2. The keyword here is "maybe". It will definitely be interesting to see how A-1 will deal with that scene.

One possible way I can think of is


Ultimately we will have to see how it is handled before criticizing A-1. Right now I can only applaud A-1 for how they handled the series so far.

How? No radio? They're all the way across town. She didn't set up some way to signal, using flares or something.

If you're defending, and the enemy can attack at one of several points, you hold back reserves and don't commit them until you know where the enemy has attacked. The front line troops have to be strong enough to hold the enemy until the reserves get there. This takes discipline and communications. Holding until relieved is a classic bitter military job, the kind that results in posthumous medals. From "Horatius at the Bridge" to the 82nd Airborne on D-Day, many heroes have died doing that.

Pina is trying to cobble together a defense out of terrified townspeople, and lacks battle experience. Her townspeeople get goaded into an attack when it's tactically unsound. She's trying to stall for three days until her backup forces get there, but the enemy is winning on a faster timetable. She keeps her head even when things get bad; you have to respect that. It's impressive that this anime has real tactical problems like this.

His order is somewhat like "meet ppls of imperium and left a good impresion... or right impresion". Maybe because he is one of highest rank beyond gate, he is allowed to do so. And still, protecting civilians is (theoretically) the most important job for JSDF. Oh, and officers "in field" offten can ignore superiors orders, if they are sure, that orders are wrong. Howevere, it's risky as hell.

Hime-sama's failing quite badly, she's hot though, so forgiveness can be found. Btw did she just say she got fucked once or twice? Dafuq 😂😂 can't believe she's still sane, at least not like your typical hentai.
Hmm btw, this episode was supposed to be about the battle for Italicana, yet the fight only happened the last 5 minutes, find a better episode title you guys -,-
Hmm well, if the JDSF barge in they could surely kill everyone lol.

the princess is called Pina Co Lada? This series does not seem to care at all...
The tone shifts are so jarring.
One moment they are doing cutesy things, the next horrific murder is taking place.
In this episode it's a horrible battle, then the princess states to the guy in charge "either we fight or we all get murdered and raped here."
Next moment a bunch of kids are playing knight...
And then it goes into funny situations featuring all of the harem girls.
